Conscious Parenting – a lecture by dr. Bruce Lipton
Parenting can be more than just what we think it means. Conscious parenting is the key!
Nowadays, we believe that in order to grow happy, healthy individuals we need to educate, love and care for our children. However, Dr. Bruce Lipton brings into the spotlight a concept that not many of us knew before: conscious parenting.
While not all of us are passionate about science, we all know the basics of how we are made: we rely on our genes (DNA) which we know as the basics of everything about ourselves: how we look, how we function, our body, our health and even our personality.
But what if there’s more to this? What if we can influence the personality of our children and the way they interact with the world even before they are conceived?
According to the studies, we have a number of genes that we gift our children. Some of these can’t be changed, such as the color of their eyes or their height. However, there is a number of genes that are imprinted with our perception (as parents or educators) about the world. In simple words, by taking a look at our behaviour, habits and beliefs, we can get awareness about the kind of personality they will have, what will be their strengths and their weaknesses.
The way we see the world and our approach to life influence our kids more than we could imagine.
“ Wow! This means that people are not victims of their genes as we used to think. They can change their perceptions and thus change their health. Now that’s exciting! The old biology used to take away choice and control the outcome. When you tell people they are victims, their power is diminished. The work now is to help people change their perceptions so they can change their outcomes.” - Dr. Bruce Lipton
As Dr. Bruce Lipton explains, our body decides what genes our babies will have, months before the embryo is formed in the uterus. In this situation, it is extremely relevant to have the awareness about the father and the mother lifestyles and visions about life and also about their traumas, blockages and limitations.
What runs in your family?
It might not seem to be very important, but it is crucial to be aware of what determines the “destiny” of the family members. We create our reality, by the way we perceive it. If we believe we live in a beautiful world, we will mostly see beautiful things around us. If we believe that we live in a hostile world, we will barely cope with what is going on around us.
The answer is never the fear, but the love!
“ Our perceptual memories and beliefs are stored in the cell membrane and constantly being transmitted to the brain for interpretation. The mind responds to these vibrational messages by creating coherence between belief and reality. In other words, when your cells transmit to your mind, the mind works diligently to create the same chemical reality in your body. Thus, if you believe you will get sick, your mind will coordinate your cells to make it true. And if your cells transmit signals suggesting you are vibrant and healthy, your mind again will go about making that happen. This power of perception is demonstrated, says Lipton, in studies, which found adopted children get cancer with the same propensity as their blood siblings both raised in the same family, yet from different genetics.” - Dr. Bruce Lipton
How can you influence the entire personality of your future child?
Without realizing, many parents allow their own fears and perception of the world to influence their future baby and also the kids they raise up.
Let’s say that you are afraid of insects. While you may consciously realize that they can’t hurt you, you embedded in your subconscious that they are dangerous to you. This means that there is a big chance that you can gift your child the genes that make them fearful of nature and small insects. Of course, their personality will also be influenced by external factors, but you have the chance to give them the best set of genes that they can possibly get.
Should you start working on your perception of your children from now, even if you are not planning to have a baby any time soon? Definitely yes. This will give you even more time to design, in your mind, the perfect genes that you will then gift to your baby.
Our body is truly a work of art!
