WHAT IS CONSCIOUS CONCEPTION?  
Love, Life, and Creative Energy

by Jeannine Parvati











             








~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



"Conscious conception" means that we relate to every baby as a soul which is equally desired to be here
with us by parents and community. Couples by their awareness of self, would know when ejaculation of
semen would set a baby going or not. When babies were not needed by the couple as an expression of
their love, none would be conceived.

Conscious conception is a peaceful and mindful alternative to an abortion culture.

We can put to rest the victim of fertility archetype which has been at best the inspiration of great
literature/tragedy for milennia, and at worst has released much pain and suffering upon our Earth and
among women.

We can become conscious of our capacity to co-create; as simple as knowing when one is hungry or
thirsty, we can know when we are fertile and create in ways which are best-for-life.  This natural
knowing is aided by attention to not only our physical bodies and fertility cycles, but our dreams and
desires.

What is emerging is the realization that Fertility Awareness is a SOURCE experience, one which puts us
in direct relationship with all creative energy, our aliveness.

By becoming conscious in our fertility, we become more creative.

It is our choice in what form we show the world our love:  and a baby is but one option.

Conscious conception transcends the prochoice and prolife polemic.  Conscious conception is both at
once--simply stated, its instruction is to "Choose Life".
