Welcome to Mystic Mom, where we dive into the extraordinary spiritual bond between parent and child. I'm your host, Christy, and today's episode is all about sacred contracts.


First off, I wanted to say I am overwhelmed with the reviews and downloads this podcast has received over the past few weeks.


It lights me up when I see the people from all over the world downloading these episodes, and I hope it has offered some light and support to all spirit moms out there.


It also has really validated for myself that there are soulfully guided moms who are interested in spiritual parenting and exploring these topics.


It's easy to feel alone at times because from my experience, not many people speak about
past lives. Universal synchronicity is and spirit.


But seeing the response this podcast has gotten shows we are out there. So if you are enjoying these episodes, please download, leave a review or share.

So it could help more spiritually minded moms.


What is a sacred contract? Sacred contracts is a book written by Caroline Miss that speaks about the predetermined agreements our souls make before birth. It speaks about each soul having its own unique purpose and mission in a lifetime,


where each soul decides what the purpose and lesson on earth is supposed to be.


I imagine it's similar to the Disney movie soul,


how all the souls are existing on this plane, and then they decide to be born with certain abilities, passions, and personality.


Each soul determines to be born into a certain timeline, circumstance, and relationship


that gives them the best chance of achieving their purpose.


Karen speaks about it that we make a sacred contract with ourselves and then live out a lifetime trying to achieve it.


Whether it's to learn patience or create beauty in the world, or learn perseverance or joy, etc.


this concept has also been implied in other books, such as Many Lives, Many Masters, and Self-styled Prophecy.


So this idea of our souls predetermined endings has been in many religions, ideologies, books and is not a new concept,
but the part that always stood out to me in regards to parenting
is that one.


We picked our parents,

our soul, decided these two humans and the family we were born into


gives us the best chances of achieving a soul's contract or higher purpose.


Now you may be thinking, heck no! Why would I decide to be born into a family of alcoholics, or addicts, or a narcissist, or so on? You being born gave your parents an opportunity to do better.


They had choices to either get help that they could benefit from and love selflessly and unconditionally,

or to continue down their path.

Unfortunately, many times parents don't use this opportunity to change things and then repeat patterns of unhealthy behaviors or abuse that can harm us.


So in no way am I saying we would choose abuse or anything like that, but it is our parents who chose not to change.

And then we have to be the ones to heal from that, and it can make us work extra hard to achieve our own social contract


due to the healing and change that has to take place within us.

Other times, we are born into families that shows us unconditional love and support and help guide us early on to our souls contract.


This is partly what Mystic Mom is about in terms of us as parents, recognizing our children's
soul, purpose and being able to help them early on.


Thinking about your own upbringing, you could see the areas that helped take you closer to your authentic self in childhood, and what parts took you further away from yourself.


The second part that stands out to me is our children picked us.

They picked us as parents because we are the best chance that they have to support and help them achieve their purpose.


That is really mind blowing when you sit with it. They are souls determined. We are the best parents to help them become their highest version and most authentic self.


There is a divine soul connection between parent and child and we all deserve to honor it.

It is also not a unit directional relationship, but our children are our best soul guides to help us grow spiritually as well. It is not just about us as parents helping them grow into who they are meant to be, but they are meant to challenge and push us towards our highest versions of ourselves.


This is the basis of spiritual parenting,


looking at the soul connection and allowing this relationship to transform you.

Personally, I have a mini me soul child that has helped me heal my own inner child and look at myself differently.


You can hear more about this in episode one where I dive into our mini me soul connection. Children.

I also have a strong willed spirit child that challenges me because of her qualities that are so different to mine,

that inspires me to be stronger.

My assertive, independent Pisces child that challenged my people pleasing impulses to its core, and who experiences such intense joy and creativity on a level I aspire to experience.


Our children can push us to learn patience, to be more kind or softer. Others push us to enforce more boundaries and become more assertive. The amazing thing about these relationships is that it is unique and beautiful in its own way.


Kind of like a fingerprint. No. Two relationships are identical.


Something I want all you spiritually minded moms to try is to think of who is my child at their core.


How do these qualities of theirs inspire me, heal me, or challenge me?


The answer becomes pretty clear when you think of each child independently and your journey with them.


Now, we don't have to know what our predetermined sacred contracts are or try to figure them out.


I don't believe we are meant to consciously know about it on our day to day activities.

I do believe that we are meant to see signs that are presented to us, and see the universal synchronicities that occur.

We are also meant to find the energy to be emotionally, mentally and spiritually self aware

of how we feel about the different aspects of our lives, especially how we feel towards our children and parenting as a whole.


Transformation is rarely an easy process. It usually takes emotions and situations that shake us to our core and force the change.

That could be partly why postpartum depression, anxiety, and rage are so common.

New parenthood launches us into a world of being responsible for a completely new little soul


and to look at our identity, our purpose, our birth.

It's a jarring experience,


but is also the most transformative. If you allow it to be


so, look at your relationship to parenting and how this can be guiding and pushing you towards your highest version of self.


How do you feel becoming a mom has pushed you towards completing one of your sacred contracts in this lifetime?

For me, I feel it has so far taught me the power of selflessness, caring for another being more than you care about yourself.


It has also taught me patience and softness, self-love and trust.

All these big spiritual lessons that come from these tiny humans entering our life is truly remarkable. Embrace it.


Hope this resonated with some of you out there. And until next time, love, heal and live. Mystic mom.
