Conscious Parenting Resources (QLD) – Part 3

Great News! Kris and I welcomed our second son, Charlie Kingfisher Anderson, on 30 August, after less than 2 hours in hospital.

Here’s a pic of Charlie meeting Forrest for the first time! This is the last in a three part series on my latest joy:
Part 1 Hello Charlie! My 333 Angel Baby Arrives 
Part 2 How Charlie Got His Name – Kingfisher Totems & The Holy Grail 
Part 3 Conscious Parenting Resources (this post)

Introduction
I’ve written before, on how your birth impacts your confidence, and follow-through in life. Truly, everything that happens to us gives us a chance to grow or to hold back. To open, or to close our hearts and intuition. To live, or to forever wonder. As someone who’s had two kids in 18.5 months (after a lifetime of being scared of pregnancy), I can say sincerely, it’s never too late to rewrite your history. The twist is, you must go in and through your fear to overcome it. There are no shortcuts, so please get going NOW – the timing could not be better as we’ve just entered September 2017, a 1 Universal Month of Beginnings in a 1 Universal Year of Beginnings! Find your 2017 forecast

Conscious Parenting Resources (Brisbane/ QLD focus)
I believe, the race is won before it’s begun. I did intensive clearing on my mind, body and Soul before Charlie arrived, There was nothing I didn’t look at, because I feel that a peaceful birth is the gift of a lifetime to both parent and child.

Here are some of the actions I took, and therapists I recommend (A-Z):

Acupuncture – Michael Brown at Waveney Holland’s Clinic and Dr Vanessa Strauss (Gold Coast) – also a Kundalini Yoga Teacher, which is amazing for fertility and creativity
Art Therapy and Counselling – Alison Lee from Heartwork
Australian Bush Flower Essences (ABFE)- I did the White Light Essences* and the Numerology and ABFE Workshops with Ian White during my pregnancy. I also took various essences including Emergency Essence, Relationship Essence and used Calm & Clear Spray in hospital. *Blog to come.
