Golden Cord Parent Meditation

Description

The importance of parent-child bonding cannot be overstated. It is one of the largest predictors of how well a child will develop through his life stages. This is a gorgeous meditation to connect with your child when they are resting or asleep.  Dad’s try this one too!  Your inner peace and calm can ripple out to your child, what a gift!

The umbilical cord provides babies with everything they need to thrive inside the womb and forms the tangible physical attachment to their mother. At birth, this attachment is broken, only to be followed by an intense and unwavering emotional and psychological attachment between mother and child that lasts a lifetime. How well this second attachment is nurtured and advanced, forms the basis of the child’s ongoing psychological, emotional, physical, and social wellbeing.

Bonding is best described as the intense relationship that develops between parents and their child. The physical mother-baby bond begins in the womb and changes at birth but never ceases. It is what makes parents smother their children with love and protect them against the world. That same bond gets parents up in the dead of the night to feed their baby and makes them super attentive to their baby’s needs.

So what is the importance of parent-child bonding and what do our children learn from this intense relationship? Babies learn they will be responded to day or night and have their needs met. They learn to trust and that they can rely on their parents to care for and protect them. As they grow, the bond between parent and child provides them with their first model of an intimate and loving relationship. They develop a sense of security and self-esteem and continue to experience positive emotional and cognitive development.

This bond can be as intense between father and child. Father baby bonding also begins at conception, and whilst it is experienced differently to the mother’s bond, it is of no less importance. The parent-child connection needs to be cared for and nurtured, and there are many parent-child bonding activities that help your relationship with your child remain close, loving, and positive.

This meditation for parents facilitates you connecting with your child while they are resting or asleep. It is a parenting meditation for both mums and dads alike and will promote a strong sense of calm and inner peace within. See more in our shop.
