Now that I am a mother, breastfeeding has become my daily meditation. For me it is a time to relax and use my creative energy to grow an exceptionally happy and healthy being. As Sheila Kitzinger says, “Breastfeeding is not a matter of filling a baby up with milk as you might fill the tank of a car. It is an intimate dialogue between two people.” I realize what I think and feel during breastfeeding nurtures my son’s soul just as much as what I eat nurtures his body. So, whenever I remember, I relax my shoulders, take in a deep breath, and let go of any tension, stress, or negative emotions. I become completely and totally present, focusing only on my son and the love I have for him. Below is a short poem I wrote which reflects the feelings and thoughts I desire to convey to my son while feeding him…

Breastfeeding my precious son at 6 months

“In breastfeeding an infant the mother should never allow herself to be distracted by random thoughts, but concentrate all her attention on her child” ~Anastasia from The Ringing Cedars of Russia by Vladimir Megre, Book 2

P.S I am recording my journey with David using the 7 principles I choose to parent by, including Liquid Love Breastfeeding. Look out for my e-book, Advanced Parenting: Activating Your Child’s Full Potential, in 2012
