On Today Health I found this article, Fertility math? Most women flunk, survey finds -Basic conception stats masked by glamorous over-40 mommies like Mariah written by JoNell Aleccia. Where it is an excellent and relevant article from a physiological perspective, it allows me to share my Metaphysical insight into conception and pregnancy.
As with everyone in our lives, conception, at the Spiritual level, comes down to an agreement. In this case between baby, Mom and Dad (that's in it's simplest form - if donors, surrogates and adoption are added in then you have more guests in the agreement party, but for ease of discussion we'll look at Baby, Mom and Dad). An agreement is the contract between Spirits that details the how, why and whatfore we will be in each others lives. If you've worked with me or listen to my radio show you know I speak often about the core purpose we are all here - which is to learn, heal and grow as Spiritual beings. It is through our relationships that we explore this purpose and it is through our agreements that the stage gets set for us to encounter the lessons that will help us learn, heal and grow.
