The Adi Shakti Meditation to Upgrade Your Baby & Yourself

“I feel you must have some time when you are in difficulty. Rather than calling on help from friends and prayer, call the Maha Shakti and see what happens. When India and Indian woman knew this mantra, it dwelt in the land of milk and honey. When they forgot it, it became a hell. Only the forgetting of this mantra has given birth to MTV… But when a woman knew this mantra she was a living goddess. Without Maha Shakti, God cannot Manifest anything. This is the mantra.” –Yogi Bhajan

The time between the 120th day and the seventh month is the most important period during pregnancy because it forms the fundamental personality of the child. If the mother is incredibly reactive, the child will likely be too. Any neurosis or glitches in the mother’s system will be passed on to the baby especially during this period of time. The people and personalities she is with, emotions she feels, and her environmental surroundings all matter.

At the end of the sixth month and beginning of the seventh month is a time when something Yogi Bhajan called the “Acid Bath” occurs for males. During this window, hormones that were once needed in primitive times for hunting and gathering cover the brain. These hormones literally desensitize the male, energetically freeze half of the brain, and create primitive reactions that are no longer required in modern society. The female does not receive these hormones, which makes her more likely to be connected, intuitive, and sensitive. You can help to develop these qualities in the male by completing a specific meditation throughout the pregnancy called the Adi Shakti.

The mantra helps the man become creative, less self-centered, and more intuitive in many aspects of life. The meditation can also be done during the pregnancy if you have a girl to enhance the primal power of the Shakti energy and help her to become aware of her destiny. The “Pootaa Maataa Kee Asees” is a mantra you can play during pregnancy and throughout childhood to invoke protection around the child. The mantra “Akal” helps the soul adjust and is important to play in the background after birth to ease the transition.
