Wellness Music for Pregnancy

Blessings for the New Arrival
Since ancient times it has been known that the child in the womb adopts impressions from its surroundings and the behaviour of its mother, and also starts learning things. This fact has now been confirmed by modern science.

The well known story from Mahabharat of Abhimanyu tells us that he learned the art of entering Chakravyuha (a special war formation) while he was in the womb, when his mother Subhadra was listening to the technique told to her by Lord Shri Krishna.

The health of the parents is directly responsible for the health of a child. Not only their physical health, but also their psychological and spiritual health affects the child in the womb. The surrounding environment, the food, the activities, in fact everything the mother is exposed to during the pregnancy directly affects the child.

The ancient scriptures and Ayurveda prescribe a particular daily practice for the pregnant woman. Along with the prescription of diet, Yoga, and routine body care, instructions are also given for reading material, subjects of discussion, and music and mantras to be listened to. The sound of the veena (Indian string instrument which is held by the Goddess Saraswati), flute and Samaveda mantras gives health to the pregnant woman and the child within. It is possible to give energy for the development of the body, mind and soul of the child in the womb by listening to special music.

This album is based on traditional practices and prepared after much research, with the hope that children born with good health, intelligence and love will ensure a bright future for our planet.

This album is the first of its kind in the world. It is a must for every pregnant woman.

During and after the pregnancy, weight gain is common and something most women dislike. Putting on pregnancy pounds is absolutely necessary for the embryo to get the appropriate vitamins and minerals for healthy growth.

In years past weight gain was considered detrimental for the pregnant woman, but now it is accepted as a normal part of embryo development. Actually, the huge problem of pregnant women is, how much should they ideally put on weight while they are pregnant.  Read more... (517 words, estimated 2:04 mins reading time)

It is not unusual to want to return to your previous weight after giving birth. But…how to do it? Considering that you are in the process of adjusting your life to breast-feeding and the schedule of a new baby. It can be a difficult time, so what are the best ways to lose that pregnancy weight after the baby is born?

Breastfeeding is not only the healthiest way of feeding your baby, in fact, it can help you a lot to achieve your weight loss goals. Breast feeding burns up to 500 extra calories per day! Gaining weight during pregnancy is vital to prepare the body for breast-feeding, which requires a great deal of calories to perform.  Read more... (570 words, estimated 2:17 mins reading time)

As any soon-to-be-mother knows, pregnancy can be a mixed bag of highs and lows. While you are excited about meeting your new bundle of joy, observing a hundred and one dos and donts can present something of a challenge, especially if you are a creature of habit.

Take for example, the use of essential oils.

Found in many spas, candles and aromatherapy products, they can present a problem to a mothers unborn child. The problem is many women use these items for holistic skin care regimens or a relaxation tools. Being told that they can no longer use these products may cause a sense of despair as impending motherhood can cause skin reactions and stress.  Read more...
