Voices of Enlightenment: Conscious Conception - Why Your Children Chose You

"You can't choose your family," so the saying goes. But, the fact is, we can and we do. Your children chose you to be their parent. Why do you think they made that choice - especially the one who is giving you so much hell!  Children are here to teach us something about ourselves, to help us recognize a strength and benefit from it and help us recognize a weakness and work toward eliminating it.  What have you learned about yourself from the experiences you have had with your children? Are you willing to take see them as the mirror they are, reflecting you to yourself so that you can make an honest assessment of who you are? We all would like to have the loveable, easy to manage, smart, talented child, but some of us have unresolved issues that require a child with a challenging personality to make us face ourselves.  Did we conceive a child while we were lacking in love for ourselves? Were we lonely, rebellious, fearful of rejection? Was our pregnancy planned or did we panic at the discovery of a baby on the way? What are we saying to our daughters and sons to prepare them for mature adulthood and parenthood when they are ready? How do we teach our children the science of creation so that the next generation of children are born as a result of conscious conception?  Today we'll hear a few words about self love from a some of the Voices of Enlightenment.
