Soul Retrieval : Healing Your Inner Child : Learning to Mother Yourself ...Learn how to trust more, let go of control, how the past effects the present, and steps to rescue your inner child. In this live healing session and intuitive reading I help Sara continue to clear generational patterns and past trauma during her pregnancy. Sara has a negative coworker in her life and we find out in the session that he represents an old boyfriend she needs to let go of. If you had any past trauma - that part of you may still be living within your subconscious. I will teach you the importance of rescuing all the parts of yourself unhealed from the past. Here is a writing exercise you can use to heal your inner child taken from my soon to be released book: Fertile.
Healing Your Inner Child: Learn to Mother Yourself
List all your traumas or dramas between the ages of 0 and 12 (if your mother has got some really good in-utero ones list those too).
Rescue your inner child and begin to mother her. This can be done at one age or multiple. You can find this child in any memories that still haunt you or memories left unhealed.
Take some time to tell this child that you love her and she is not alone. Hold her and make sure she knows how cared for she is. You can even hold a pillow while doing this. Allow any tears to flow or screams to arise.
Go into the memory – the actual room of the trauma or drama – and pick up this child. Carry her out of the house or place her somewhere that feels safe and secure. Create a loving home for her and a place that you can return to in meditation. Make sure she has all the amenities to keep her happy.
Talk to the perpetrators or past caretakers – whoever it is that caused you pain. You must be the adult that shuts them down because in the deep subconscious mind this is still happening to you in the present moment. Whatever the subconscious mind needs to do in order to dissolve the issues, do it. Put these adults in parenting school, bring angels in to take care of them, take them to a healing place, put them in jail or take them to court. Do something in your mind’s eye that releases the pain and creates justice.
By mothering yourself you will become a better mother. If these wounds are left unhealed they will creep back into your own experiences - triggering you - while raising your children. The cycle stops with you.

A fully awakened individual has a heightened sensory system with a world that becomes fully alive. In this episode Kateryna learns the importance of enhancing her sense of touch, taste, smell, sound, vision and relation to her body to the world around her. Behavioral epigenetics has proven that a person’s environment programs their DNA, so enhancing your environment before conception and during pregnancy will naturally enhance the child. In order for you to create a human unlike any other you need to begin to imagine this child now and fully engage your sensory system in the creation process. An awakened individual has a heightened sensory system, which creates intuition and a connection to higher dimensions. You have the ability to attract a specific type of soul down the planet. I would like you to begin to fully sense the type of child that you would like to conceive and create. What does this child feel like to you using all of your senses?

As the emotional and spiritual bodies change, you may actually experience this physically through changes in your health or even menstrual cycle. This is important to understand because as you spiritually change yourself for motherhood you are actually altering your cells and DNA. I make this easier to understand in this episode. Listen as I take Kateryna through a guided meditation to visualize and actually sense what happens at the time of conception – I want you to actually see, hear, taste, sense, smell your frequency. This mediation will help you to understand how important your vibration is at the time of conception and relate to the unfoldment of sacred geometry in the creation of life.

In this episode, I merge science and Spirit and teach you how the growing scientific field of behavioral epigenetics is proving what Yogis have always known about consciousness. My intention is to teach women around the world that their thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and diet program their growing fetus during the time of pregnancy. I want you to understand how critical this period of development is. My goal is to create a new paradigm and movement where women become incredibly conscious of the environment of their growing baby with the understanding that they can purposely create an enlightened child, free from the generational patterns and programs that they faced. We are going to create a new world one birth at a time.
