Garbhasanskar (Communication with your unborn)
Unborn babies are aware!
More and more evidence is coming to light that the foetus understands much earlier than was thought before. Our knowledge of the development of the foetal senses and its ability to acquire inputs is growing day by day at a rapid pace.
Henry Trubby, a paediatrician and an anthropologist from Miami University, concluded way back in 1960, after a thorough study involving several pregnant women and newborn children that a six month old foetus can hear and does respond to sound.
The foetus responds best to resonant sounds. Ancient Indian tradition has always recognised this. It used the resonating Beejakshara mantras or chants like "OM", "SHREE"", "HRIM" in Garbhasanskar to drench the mother-to-be in a resonating aural flow. It is now proven that the foetus can hear in the fourth month and by the third trimester its sense of hearing is fully developed. David Spelt conducted an experiment wherein he asked pregnant women to read a small story aloud five times a day. During several tests that he conducted later he realised that after birth these babies listened to the same stories very attentively and responded well.
Many parents to-be related that when they sensed increased foetal activity, they often chanted a hymn or bhajan softly, trying to soothe and relax the baby. After birth, when the child was irritable or crying, chanting this same bhajan or hymn pacified it soon. The Motherese style of speech of the mother which is talking to the child at a high pitch with a rising tone at the end of the sentence, calms and soothes the child. Mothers all over the world, speak to their babies in 'Motherese', most naturally.
Language understanding
The foetus learns to register familiar voices so well that even hearing a new language in a familiar person's voice (eg - mother's) may get some responses from it such as movements or a change in heart rate. The baby is responding to unfamiliar sounds of strange new words spoken by a voice it knows and recognizes.
If you want your baby to be multilingual, you must start communicating to your unborn baby in all POSSIBLE LANGUAGES that you know, during pregnancy and during the first two years after birth. In all the languages taken together which are spoken in the world, there are only 150 SOUNDS. Speaking to the child in multiple languages introduces him to many sounds, out of these 150 sounds. In fact, a child may learn a language faster than an adult.
As parents you may talk to the unborn child in a particular language at a particular time e.gat bedtime change your language from the mother tongue to another language than the one you used in the morning and the one you used after coming back home from office. If your mother tongue is Hindi, you may speak to the baby in Hindi in the morning, in English after coming back from office and in Gujrati or in Marathi at bedtime. This practice is to be continued even after the baby's delivery and throughout the early years of infancy and childhood.
A Tamil maid must be made to talk to the child in her language all the time. You can take your baby to the houses of your neighbours who may speak Bengali or Kannada so that he also hears these languages. Thus, you can easily introduce the SOUNDS of speech of six to ten languages to your baby early in life. If you live in an area where you do not have much variety in the languages spoken, get different CD's or Cassettes of nursery rhymes of other regions and even foreign languages like French, Italian or German. Play these for your baby. Even if you cannot understand or decipher the language, the baby is actively having these new sounds hit on his sound processing antennae. He processes them in his 'supercomputer' brain which 'saves' this information in specific files to be 'opened' later on.
Postnatal GARBHA SANSKAR co-ordination - In the 'baby brain stimulation course from newborns to 5 year olds', stimulation of sensory organs like eyes and ears, which develop brain function, is taught to parents. Most parents do not think beyond feeding, caring and nappy changing of the newborn. They are not aware that they can actually influence and directly impact their ward's mental development through some techniques. If,as we already know, the developing foetus can be influenced enough to respond to stimulation, then definitely the newborn's brain can be better developed with appropriate stimulation. It is thus vital for the parents to continue garbhasanskar on the child after birth.
