My husband Balachander and I are blessed with baby girl on June 24th 2024. We both have been working on ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually since 2021 for a child . We are excited to start our parenting journey after all these years of preparation and within few days of parenting, I understood I was totally unprepared for constant feeding and sleepless nights. In my years of preparation, I focussed only on conception, pregnancy and delivery but overlooked parenting. So, in the wildest of my dreams, I did not imagine that I have to deal with sleeplessness and when the reality greeted me, I became depressed and stressed out.

Our baby would sleep well in the day time and would go into feeding and sleeping cycle frequently in the night time from 11 PM to 5 AM. Everyone around me(including doctor) said this is quite common with infants and a parent can do nothing much about it. So, I accepted it as normalcy and did not think of healing her. Sleeplessness caused great stress to me. In addition to depression and stress, I also felt like a failure as I could not meet my own expectations of that ideal, perfect mother who would face anything gracefully with a smile.

By the grace of God, after some days, I got enough sense to do my healing and so, I started doing my own psychotherapy. Just with 1 healing, I was fine and felt good. All the depression, stress, guilt vanished like magic and life started feeling good.(I would highly recommend all new mothers to do psychotherapy for self or get psychotherapy done by a professional healer). I prepared my mind to stay awake from 11 PM to 5 AM. I thought everything is fine and then, our baby threw a test.

One day, straight for 16 hours from 5 PM to 9 AM, she took us into frequent feed-sleep cycle. By the end of 16 hours, my husband and I were super exhausted. I was physically and emotionally drained. Sleeplessness amplified the exhaustion and I was almost on the verge of crying thinking how long this is going to continue.

My spiritual journey helped me tremendously at this breakdown point. I remembered all that I taught and learnt in Energy Healing. First thing I remembered is to work karmically on this situation. So, I immediately donated some money for food donation and decreed the good karma for healthy feeding and sleeping of my baby. After I did this, an inner voice strongly guided me to heal the baby.

I started healing at 9 AM doubtfully, as I was not sure if my healing would work since I was super exhausted. To my surprise, within 5 minutes of healing, baby slept peacefully. And since then, it has been healthy feeding and sleeping. After this experience, I started healing her in the night time and it is magical that she feeds and sleeps well during night time too . After we incorporated healing our baby in her daily routine, my husband and I found time to sleep and recharge ourselves(because of which I got some time and energy to write this blog). My small healing of 5 to 10 mins prevented stress and sleeplessness.

I can never thank God and my teachers for empowering me with healing. Healing is an invaluable tool in the journey of parenting. It makes parenting a joyful and enriching experience. I feel so happy and grateful that I get to teach this precious science and art of healing to others as a TEH teacher. Thank you God, all the great ones and my healing teachers Ruchi Sanjil for this empowerment.

Sarve jana sukhino bhavanthu!
