Imagine talking intimately
with JP about what lays central in you soul? Now you can,
via PHONE Consultations. This is how it works; you choose three dates /
times (we are Mountain Standard Time) and send a deposit for the
consultation. We respond in writing with confirmation of one of those
times /dates. You then call at the appointed time and have our undivided
attention for the duration. After the consultation, you remit the
remainder if we talk longer or you value it beyond the minimum on our
sliding scale. The model is taken from Chinese Medicine ~ if the patient
did not get well, there was no doctor bill!? Some of us can afford more
than the minimum, and when it becomes obvious how much money has been
saved in unnecessary doctor, dentistry, legal or emotional bills, you send
more money. Once you have established your connection with us, we will
then be available for phone consultations at ANY time in cases of
emergencies. We use the honor system, and in over a decade of providing
phone consultations, have found that EVERYONE is honest and pays according
to their abilities.
Please send in US dollars a bank draft, money order or personal check. If you are international and prefer an on-line consultation via email, this is a possibility too. Just ask!

Consultations are intended to assist us in being more responsible for our lives. Therefore, it is my responsibility to inform you that no one at Freestone Innerprizes suggests a home miscarriage without "medical supervision". Rarely mothers will need to go to the hospital for a miscarriage yet in compliance with the law, we offer no medical advice or encourage mothers to take unnecessary risks. Summer Phone Consultation 2002 By Jeannine Parvati Baker The year 2002 has brought many phone consultations through our website. One of the major themes of the callers seems to be miscarriage. The grieving mothers book a consultation to explore what their options are, some even while miscarrying. Most all have their miscarriages at home and heal quickly. Some callers send thank you cards and eventually, even baby announcements. Today I just got off of the phone talking with a woman in southern California, who called me because the doctors have told her that they can't see why she has had three miscarriages. So she decided to "go down the metaphysical route" to explore what she can do in order to have a baby by booking an appointment with me. Immediately she asks me for "guidance" and my "insight". After a generation of counseling, I realized that a mother learns how to gestate her baby by how she was gestated in her own mother's womb. The first questions therefore are to draw out this possibility of replication. The woman I talked with on the phone, Mary, had three miscarriages. I asked her birth order and she is the fifth, her mother's lastborn child. So I then queried if there was another pregnancy that was terminated and yes, her first one was an abortion. So Mary has had four pregnancies as her mother did before she was conceived. This means that through Mary's next pregnancy, she will give birth to herself.
This discovery occurred in the first four minutes of our
conversation. It radically reframed what our investigation would be like. Mary
had never thought about this pattern before. Once she did, more puzzle pieces
came into view. The spacing of her siblings and of her pregnancies, for one
connection, was important in order to see the bigger picture on the timing of
her babies. The central question (to any consultation) is how can I serve my coming baby? Many mothers need to process first their own disappointment before the shift in perspective can enlarge from "me" to the baby. Mary repeated that she was going to prove the doctor wrong, for when she asked if he thought she could have a baby after her last miscarriage, he just shook his head, "No". I asked Mary how anyone could know the future? She conceded that no one does, so therefore she doesn't have to "prove" anything. Mary also kept noting that whatever she was doing, it hadn't worked in order for her to have a baby. I offered that whatever happened, in each of her pregnancies, was supposed to happen precisely the way that it did. How did I know this? Because, it happened. For one example, Mary now understands how deeply she desires a baby. She would even be willing to change her diet and her schedule in order to be as healthy as possible for her baby's sake. This is a great gift to the world - when a woman realizes that she is here to serve her baby's real needs over her own desires, all of our relations will benefit. At one point in our dialogue, Mary volunteered that she had previously tried to become a vegetarian but couldn't give up meat. By the time we finished talking about this topic, she knew that she would gradually become vegetarian and that this is but one example of the way that babies can assist parents in cleaning up our acts. Who benefits? The baby, for one, benefits - he or she already has to deal with an onslaught of estrogenic pollution, a major cause of the miscarriage epidemic. Also, Mary will be more peaceful and healthy for this dietary change. Ultimately the entire Earth will be healthier if human beings gave up eating other animals. We get to see through our stories when the perspective is how everything that happens is supposed to have happened, and the inquiry is into how that event served. Most of the "reasons" that things happen are inventions from the ego's point of view -- yet here and there, a message from the soul comes through. Mary had one given to her through a dream. I had been telling Mary that emotions are information - like dreams, feelings are raw data. Also like dreaming, we can wake up from an emotional condition. She then offered that her last dream was of lying next to her baby, enveloped in an immense feeling of love and devotion. That she had miscarried this last baby was unbearable. Literally, I night add. However, the feeling of devoted love is a "dream", we agreed, from which we won't awaken, as it continues to serve to this day. We completed our conversation with my bold recommend to read our back-in-print book, CONSCIOUS CONCEPTION, for not only its dietary information, but for the metaphysical perspectives on fertile sexuality. Mary had not yet read any of our writings but had found us through "intuition" and the Freestone Innerprizes website. The irony is that nowadays, I consider metaphysics as poetic stories and no more "real" than scientific ones, or other myths. However understanding that mind/body/soul/spirit are ONE is my favorite story and I confess that I am attached to it, until a better one comes along. Talking with Mary, as I have with countless others who yearn to be mothers, is one of my callings. Consulting is beyond "work", for if I won the lottery and had a billion dollars, I would still do what I am doing. I love to hear the power come into her voice when a mother tells herself into existence. Every mother I have ever spoken with reminds me of the power of the vulnerable feminine. Therefore I view fear as an ally, waiting to be transformed once the message is understood. Mary fears having that she might be "heart broken" again by another miscarriage. My response is that perhaps she may reconsider becoming a mother for there is no guarantee that our hearts won't be broken - perhaps in pregnancy, or birth, when our children are babies or when they are in their forties, for that matter. I share that my heart has been broken into thousands of pieces by being a mother for over thirty years. These pieces then reflected the light like prisms. As it is the nature of the heart to be whole, I could then love with so much more light, once I healed. If we don't want our hearts to be broken, then we best avoid any intimate relationship, much less being someone's mothers. Mary ponders this and realizes that it is by far worth the risk. And a risk it is - to confess that we don't know the future and to stay in love with what-is. Which is why nature designed mothers to be pregnant for ten moons before we had the awesome responsibility of caring for our children. It takes at least that long, or in some cases, like Mary, even longer -- like five pregnancies. Women, who have miscarried, are a new breed of mothers. They know how precious life is, how ephemeral, just like a dream, and that not even death can stop a mother's love. I am honored to have prayed with my ears and be able to consult with mothers at any time along our journey, as we become the best we can be. Joseph Utah 6.25.02 Jeannine- Once again it was a great treasure to be witness to your particularly potent voice of divinity. Sarah Bly Hygieia Student Marin County, CA NEW Update 3-6-2000 by Jeannine Parvati Baker
Many years ago when
we moved from California to Utah, somewhat in transplant shock, and I found
myself spending an inordinately amount of long distance time on the
telephone, I decided to be paid for what I love to do. Being a Gemini, I
love to talk. And confess: Even advise, when asked. I love to be consulted
and respond like a 21st century oracle. At that time of this move from
global neighborhood wise woman to professional consultant, I had five young
children and found a way to be with my family at home, AND support us at the
same time. I can't tell you how many times I was nursing a baby when talking
on the phone in the 80's. 435-527-3738 freestone@freestone.org |

Dear Jeanine; It is amazing how much spirit lifting a few words, or sentences can be, and how empowering, even from over close to 9,000 miles away on the other side of the planet. I have been doing Hatha Yoga for about 7 years, but the short, simple pre-natal yoga series in your book, (yes the silver edition, great addition of your birth stories!! It is stories such as those that fuel me down here so far away from any holistic birth or well woman care) seems to be captivating, with a little magic to it. I have only gone through it a few times but have been doing every day. I admire greatly the way you go about birth, because it really is quite different from the "medwifery " way of doing things, it is like going to the very core of exsistence. Have good and safe travels, and thank you. Love, AMG |
