Soul Path Readings & Life Expression

Every wonder what the path is of your Soul and in what life areas this will manifest?

These readings are a blended of Sacred Spiritual and Soul based technologies that reflect a person’s Soul focus.

With a blend of Astrology, Numerology and Soul Path Astrology synthesized through Psychic Channeling a wonderful Soul Template is revealed.

This is wonderful guidance for those interested in learning the learning experiences and gifts of their Soul.
A Soul Path & Life expression reading is wonderful for children and those that are newly born.  It can give parents, caregivers, teachers, friends and other family members and awareness of the individual Soul that is coming into this life.  We all come in with a Divine template; a blueprint that shows our over all focus this lifetime.  When we align an others help us align to this Divine Blueprint we feel connected on a Soul level.  This honors us and our unique path.
We all come in with unique gifts, talents and Soul Focus.  From this underlies our Soul Purpose and our Soul Path is woven.
There is a common thread in all we do and experience.  This common thread leads us back to the Soul.

We will look at:
Soul Gifts / what your child came in the world to do as well as their talents which they came here to share.
What enhances their soul and being

Stretch marks are very common during pregnancy. They are often the result of rapid weight loss or gain and pregnancy hormones  like progesterone .  Some woman develop them while others never do . There are a few factors that determine if someone will develop stretch marks or not during pregnancy .
A lot depends on hereditary, chances are if your mother had them then most likely you will too. Darker skinned women are more prone to them then lighter skinned women  are.
Your skins elasticity has something to do with it as well – Thicker skinned people have less of a chance of getting stretch marks  as their skin has more elasticity then a  thinner skinned person .
Nutrition and diet – un unhealthy processed diet has been linked to contributing to stretch marks .

To prevent stretch marks, I suggest my clients start way before they are pregnant by eating a whole food healthy diet and eat plenty of good fatty acids such as Fish oil, olive oil, coconut oil, canola oil, hempseed oil, hemp seeds, flax seed oil, flax seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, sun flower seeds, buckwheat, almonds and nut butters, lentils, split peas, wheat germ, salmon, cod, avocados, kale, spinach, collard greens and winter squash. . I also make sure they stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water ( I am a huge fan of coconut water as well )

I also have my clients use my Belly Butter before pregnancy. Doing it early helps prepare and nourish the skin. I  always suggest starting to prepare your body a few months before you start trying to conceive . I have a special blend I make for my clients but below is a great and effective recipe you can make for yourself at home.

BREGGY”S BELLY BUTTER
1 jar of organic coconut oil
1 container of organic coco butter
1 container of organic shea butter
1 small bottle of 400 IU of Vitamin E

Place in a pot of boiling water all the ingredients (except the vit E ) in their separate containers as they are all hard, letting them melt ( the coco butter takes forever to melt ) , after all is melted pour in a large bowl , mix together add Vit E  , put in glass container . Store in a cool place ( if you have extra store in refrigerator )

Use sparingly on belly, breasts, hips and buttocks.

We live in such a fast paced world.. Pregnancy is such a miraculous time, so many women these days don’t take the time to connect with their bodies and babies, before they know it they missed out on this whole special time. You can use the time you take to rub your belly butter on yourself to stop and connect with your growing baby.
When applying simply close your eyes, place your hands on your belly and begin to rub the belly butter all around while feeling your belly and your baby inside, you can talk to them or just simply send them loving feelings. It has been proven that babies in the womb sense and feel everything; your voice carry’s energy as well as your thoughts.

Great for massage, bath, meditation, sleep or  if you need to chill out and unwind from a stressful day. I use these a lot as a tool for my “heady people “ when they can’t shut off their brain I turn on one of these and BOOM they go totally out..

I always have my pregnant moms around 5 months (when the baby begins to hear sounds) start to play music for their baby in the womb. http://www.amazon.com/Bellysonic-BSN100-Pregnancy-Music-Belt/dp/B00146ICGI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1316483696&sr=8-2
By playing this kind of music the baby will be calm and relaxed as well as familiar with the sound and can use later as a tool for soothing and calming later. This would also great for the birth room to make a play list out of that will help relax everyone.

You can also play for children of all ages – a great transitioning tool for sleep or to help unwind after a busy day.

I even play around the house to calm my new puppy down and in my car when stuck in traffic.

Today my grandmother passed away. She was an angel in my life. She had one of the biggest hearts of anyone I have ever known. She loved everyone unconditionally and was nothing but pure love.

Yesterday my dad called me to tell me that she might pass at any second and he was on his way to go be with her. I begged him and made him swear that he would tell her that I love her soooooooo very much, that she was an angel and a huge blessing in my life and that my childhood memories are filled with so much love and nurturing from her. He told me that he told her what I had said, that she was sleeping but had moved a little as he spoke my words. On some level I know she heard him.

My family is in Philadelphia and I am in California, times like these it’s especially hard to be so far away from family and loved ones.

About 6 years ago she was either sick or going through something and I had written her a  heart felt letter. I had actually forgotten about this letter until today when my dad was sitting with her as she was passing. He told me she kept this letter with her through all the living situations, nursing homes and hospitals she has been in over the past 6 years.

After I had written this letter my grand father had died and my grandmother went into a sever depression then dementia started to set in.

I started to cry when I had read the letter I wrote and found such peace in knowing that I had expressed my love and gratitude for her before she got sick and her mind started to go. I have such comfort in knowing that she knew just how much I truly loved her, how special she was to me and what a difference she made in my life.

If there is a special someone out there that you appreciate and love -Don’t waste another minute of your life letting it go un expressed. You never know what tomorrow holds. Do it  now /today !

 The more you can take care of and nurture yourself the more you will be to take care of another. It hard to give when you are totally tapped out and depleted. Tuning into your needs and recharging your batteries is a way to mother yourself as well as be a better mother to your child. Parenting yourself involves taking care of your needs, loving yourself enough to know that you matter too. Being present and aware of how you are feeling, of your energy, and taking action for you towards nurturingyourself. Just like when you are on an airplane and they tell you in case of an emergency first assist your self so you can be there for others.

Some thing to ponder –

 If you are feeling tired what do you need?

If you are feeling like you have over given what can you do to give back to yourself to recharge your batteries and regain balance?

 If you are feeling sad what can you do to lift your spirits?

 What nurtures you?

 What makes you happy?

 What does your spirit need right now?

A good question to ponder is – this was happening right now to my child? How would be there for them? Or if my child felt like this what would I say or do? Often times as a parent we will do for our children but not for ourselves. Start applying the ways you would be there for them towards being there for you. 

EXAMPLES –

If you had a child that was upset about something that happened that day. How would you be there for them? If something upset you how could you be there and comfort your self in the same way?

If your child were sick how would you be there for them? If you got sick what could you do to nurture and care for your self?

If you child couldn’t sleep because something was bothering them, what would you do? If you can’t sleep what can you do to sooth yourself? 

If your child were tired, what would you do?  If you are tired, what can you do to honor where you are?

 Know that you are important and deserve to be taken care of too. And the better parent you will be because you will feel good and be happy.

Listen to what your body your mind and what your spirit is telling you that you need and take action for yourself.

*THE SEVENFOLD JOURNEY- ANODEA JUDITH

Notice what comes up over and over for you. What message did you keep hearing  ? What can you do to support your needs?

After you have established where you are at and what you need. Begin to honor yourself for where you are. What I mean by this is if you are tired, how can you honor that and not push yourself? If you feeling sad or anti social, how can you make space for you time? Practice honoring yourself this week . 

He told me the root of the problem was starting from my feet, that because I have flat feel it was throwing the rest of my body out of alignment.

The protocol was to correct my feet with orthotics and the rest of my body would follow.

I use the above now as a metaphor when coaching clients on creating a solid foundation for both themselves and their children to grow from.

When your foundation is not stable the rest of you will develop from that place of instability.  Just like my feet threw the rest of my body off so will an unhealthy start in life – Lori Bregman

I saw the sweetest thing between a mother and a child once when I was

visiting with an old client of mine. It was time for her daughter to go

to sleep and the mother (my client) asked her daughter what story she

Wanted before bed. The little girl promptly replied, “I want to hear

the story about how I was born “. My client scooped her daughter in her

Arms and began to tell this amazing tale about how this fabulous

little being came to be here.

She started the story from before she met her husband and how she

longed and hoped to meet someone someday that she could fall in love

and have children with. Then one day she went to a dinner party dinner

where she sat next to the most handsome man she had ever seen. The

little girl yelled, “ My Daddy!!!”  “Yes”, replied my client. She went

on about their relationship and how they fell in love , got married

and decided they wanted to have a baby. Again the little girl

exclaimed, “That’s when I was in your belly!!!”  With a smile, the

mother talked about what it was like to be pregnant with her and how much she

already loved her even before she was born. She told her how she

felt her kicking and wondered if she was a boy or girl and what would the

name would be … and the little girl with excitement shouted out,  “If it’s a

boy we will name him Charlie and if it’s a girl, Charlotte “.  “Right”,

said the mom. “And then one night I felt pains”, she continued, “and

they came faster and faster and stronger and stronger, so your daddy

and I went to the hospital. We waited and waited”. And the little girl

said “ but no Charlotte”.  “So”, said the mom,  “I went to sleep and

woke up because I felt it was time to push you out. So I pushed

and I pushed”.  Again the little girl exclaimed, “ But no Charlotte”.

“So I pushed more and even harder”, the mom said “and finally … ” And

with that, the little girl yelled,  “I was born!!!!!!”   “Yes you were

born”, the mother said. “I kissed you all over and told you how much I

love you” . Little Charlotte said, “And you cried tears of joy!! ”.

My client told me later that night that at least 3 times a week

Charlotte asks to hear the story of how she was born, that she knows it

By heart and sometimes she even hears her reciting it to her dolls when

She plays with them.

Children LOVE to hear about how they were born. I was beyond obsessed with it!! The book my parents use to read me about how I was born was completely tattered and torn from me never putting it down.

Something I suggest my clients do while pregnant is to make or write a personalized “ I LOVED YOU BEFORE YOU WERE BORN” book or story.

This plants seeds in  children that they were wanted and loved before they were even born. Growing up with this is so important for building a foundation of self-love and healthy self-esteem.

Can you imagine if your parents gifted you with a story like this?

You will need  – a notebook, scrapbook, journal or you can make a personalized book online at:

Start writing the story of your path leading up to having your child. Collect pictures and memorabilia  (kids are visual so the more pictures or details of the story the better).

Make it unique and authentic as every birth and journey into being is.

I can promise you this  will be your child’s most VERY favorite story ever  to hear!!!
