to imagine a beautiful and cheerful child. Play melodious and classical music when she is around. Discuss the positive results of Arham Pregnancy along with her.
If any pregnancy cravings arise within her in this period, then attend to them. If they are healthy, then try and fulfill them. If they are unhealthy, then try and diffuse them. In the Kalpa Sutra (verse 92), there is a description of how Mother Trishla's cravings were fulfilled - "By the womb's power, auspicious cravings arose within her. These cravings were respected and fulfilled. They were not neglected. Since these cravings were fulfilled, new cravings did not arise within her."
Do not cause her any discomfort or difficulty. You can bring much relief to her in
small ways. The writers of Agamas state that even a saint must take care while taking alms from the hands of a pregnant woman. If she is seated, accept the alms in that position. If she is standing, accept the alms as it is. Pay attention to her comfort.
The best thing that you can do is inspire her towards divinity. Awaken the dream of a divine baby in her mind. Inspire her to believe in the power of motherhood. Even you are aware that parents are willing to do many things during pregnancy nowadays. Young couples are very receptive towards this sadhana. The educated youth of today are willing to try out anything to ensure a bright future for their child. Awareness is increasing. They do not want the child to suffer because of their carelessness.
The main tenets of this process are - meditation, healthy food, mature behaviour and divine relationship. The process is easy and natural, and the results are holistic and supremely beneficial. Arham Pregancy has the potential to infuse effectiveness in body, mind and speech. It also brings balance in the environment.
