Pregnancy is a truly sacred and life-altering journey, where a woman undergoes profound transformations—mentally, physically, and emotionally—even before her child’s arrival. This precious time often brings unique health challenges. This guide explores the powerful influence of planetary energies on both mother and child, offering effective astrological remedies. These practices aim to foster a calm and relaxed pregnancy, empowering expectant mothers with mental and physical strength while providing protection from any malefic or negative influences. Let’s explore these five essential remedies.
1. Harmonize Your Moon Energy
Maintaining optimal mental well-being is crucial during pregnancy, as stress can adversely affect both mother and baby. To soothe your mind and enhance lunar energy, pregnant women are advised to drink water from a silver glass. Cultivate a daily meditation practice during the Brahma Muhurat (the early morning hours) and before bedtime. Chanting “Om Namah Shivaye” daily can also bring profound peace and balance.
2. Shield Against Negative Energies
The period of pregnancy is particularly sensitive, making one more susceptible to negative energies. To ensure protection from malevolent forces, it is highly recommended to recite the “Hanuman Chalisa” daily. Ideally, avoid leaving the house without first chanting this powerful prayer. Additionally, visiting a Hanuman Temple every Tuesday and offering *prasad* (sacred food) to Lord Hanuman is believed to bestow good health and divine protection upon the baby.
3. Invoke Blessings with the Santan Gopala Mantra
For the optimal well-being and health of your child, mothers-to-be should regularly recite the powerful Santan Gopala Mantra. This sacred chant offers profound protection to both mother and child, invoking the divine blessings of Lord Krishna, who is believed to bestow divine energies upon the offspring. The mantra is: “Om Devaki Suta Govinda Vasudeva Jagatpate, Dehi Me Tanayam Krishna Tvaamaham Sharanam Gatah.”
4. Precautionary Measures During Eclipses
Eclipses are significant cosmic events that are believed to have a strong, sometimes adverse, impact on pregnant women. During a solar or lunar eclipse, expectant mothers should refrain from going outdoors and avoid eating. It’s also wise to avoid scheduling important events like hospital visits, baby showers, or naming ceremonies on days when the Moon’s energy is considered weak. Instead, find a quiet place, hold a coconut in your lap, and chant Vedic mantras dedicated to Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. After the eclipse has passed, release the coconut into flowing water.
5. Embrace the Power of Durga Saptashati or Sundar Kand
For those who feel heightened sensitivity during pregnancy, reciting the Durga Saptashati Kavach, Argala Stotram, and Keelak Stotram is highly recommended. While reading the entire Durga Saptashati offers immense benefits, focusing on these three essential parts can still provide powerful protection. Alternatively, daily recitation of the Sundar Kand is also advised to shield oneself from all forms of negative influences and promote a serene state of mind.
