OMNIO ACTIVITY TABLE


Omnio Future conducts full-fledged programs – which run through the full period of pregnancy and infancy. Omnio Prenatal, Omnio Preconception and Garbha Mandala are a sample of such programs.

We conduct even more spiritually intense programs called Udaya Garbha and Vishwa Garbha. These include sacred chants, invoking Grace of Navagrahas , Mandala meditations to invoke more subtle and direct energies. Many parents have benefited from the use of these packages and programs.

The packages and programs simplify prenatal and perinatal education for parents. They can spend less than 30 minutes a day and impart Holistic education for the child – right in the womb and as it sleeps or plays in infancy. Activities can be done in the comfort of home and at convenient times.

There are many ways of getting to Prenatal and Perinatal Education. You could even begin with the free Omnio Activity Table given below. Omnio Future has constructed a set of daily activities, which parents and caregivers can undertake, to begin the process of Holistic Education for their child. These go on through 9 months of Pregnancy and detail the activity the parents can do  foster development in the areas mentioned above viz. Physical, Emotional , Intellectual, Sensorial, Creative, Spiritual and Devotional.

If you need more information or guidance about these activities – please visit www.omniofuture.com or our blogs. You can reach us at our email: omniofuture@gmail.com. If you need any help on procuring props needed for the omnio activities, please email contactoasisteam@gmail.com

OMNIO ACTIVITY TABLE – FIRST MONTH KALALA

                       
Biologically speaking, fertilization (or conception) is the beginning of human development. Fertilization normally occurs within several hours of ovulation. The result is a single-cell embryo called a zygote and it is the first cell of the human body.
The zygote is encased by its protective covering and contains 46 unique chromosomes with the entire genetic blueprint of a new individual. Chromosomes contain tightly packed, tightly coiled molecules called DNA. Amazingly, DNA contains all the instructions needed for this single-cell embryo to develop into an adult.
The primary event of the second week is implantation. Once superficial implantation occurs, the embryo begins receiving nourishment directly from the cells lining the mother’s uterus.
As implantation is underway a structure called the yolk sac forms. The yolk sac is a structure that provides nutrients from the mother to the embryo before the placenta is ready to function. The epiblast also gives rise to the entire head and body of the embryo.
Approximately 8 days after fertilization, cells from the growing embryo begin producing a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin .This hormone is present in a pregnant woman’s blood and urine almost immediately and is the substance detected by most pregnancy tests. HCG interrupts the normal menstrual cycle allowing pregnancy to continue.

Once implantation is complete, the embryo continues to grow inside the wall of the uterus. It’s hard to believe, but development progresses so quickly that just 10 days after implantation is complete, the embryo’s heart begins to beat!
Even before a woman is noticeably pregnant, her intake of food and beverage passes through the developing placenta and umbilical cord to nourish (or harm) the growing embryo. The use of harmful substances during pregnancy is doubly damaging because the woman and embryo / fetus may suffer significant harm.
Following implantation, maternal and embryonic tissues combine and begin to form the placenta.
Once the placental circulation is in place; nutrients, oxygen, vitamins, and water in the mother’s blood stream pass through the placenta and umbilical cord to the embryo (and later the fetus); while carbon dioxide and other waste flows back to the mother. The placenta also produces hormones and maintains fetal temperature above the mother’s temperature - between approximately 100.7 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit or 38.2 to 39.2 degrees Celsius. A twisting cord of blood vessels, called the umbilical cord, connects the embryo to the placenta. The best intensive care units found in modern hospitals hardly rival the placenta’s life-support capabilities.
By about 15 days (2 weeks, 1 day) following fertilization, stem cells have divided and differentiated into three different germ layers called ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. Each gives rise to major components of specific body structures and organs. Ectoderm derivatives include the skin, nails, hair follicles, sweat glands, and nerves within the lungs. Another specialized layer of cells appearing at this time is the neuroectoderm, which gives rise to the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, as well as many of the muscles and bones in the face.
Endoderm forms the lining of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts and gives rise to major portions of internal organs including the lungs, liver, pancreas, and intestines.
Mesoderm derivatives include the heart, kidneys, bones, muscles, and blood vessels as well as portions of the reproductive and urinary systems. Mesoderm also gives rise to specialized cells called somites. These cells form most of the skull and ribs as well as the vertebral column or backbone. All of these cell layers and cell types work in concert forming the increasingly complex embryo.
By day 17 the central portion of the thyroid gland appears. The embryo’s respiratory system begins to develop by 3 weeks with an outgrowth of the foregut which will form the windpipe.
The site of future brain development is first recognizable with the appearance of the neural plate by 2 weeks, 4 days. By 3 weeks the neural plate thickens first at the head end of the embryo and folds into the neural tube which will form the brain and the spinal cord. By 3 weeks, the 3 primary sections of the brain are identifiable. These sections are called the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.
The complexity achieved by the embryo in just the first 3 weeks of development is incredible. Considering the importance of distributing nutrients to the emerging brain and spinal cord, as well as the rest of the embryo, the early development of the circulatory system is not surprising.
Yet the early completion of this body system – the first system to begin functioning – is remarkable. By 3 weeks early blood cell precursors appear in the yolk sac. Also by 3 weeks, early blood vessels form throughout the embryo as the network of the early circulatory system begins to take shape. In the middle of week 3, only 18 days after fertilization, the embryo’s heart appears.
Only 3 weeks and 1 day after fertilization - the heart begins to beat. By 4 weeks, the heart typically beats between 105 and 121 times per minute. Between fertilization and birth, the heart beats approximately 54 million times, while over the course of an 80-year lifespan, the heart beats over 3.2 billion (3.2 × 109) times!
Between 3 and 4 weeks, the body plan emerges as rapid growth of the relatively flat embryo - particularly that of the central nervous system, causes a dramatic folding of the embryo. This folding forms the chest and abdominal cavities and incorporates a portion of the yolk sac which becomes the lining of the digestive and respiratory tracts. Thus, development of the digestive system is underway just 4 weeks after fertilization. 
Upper and lower limb buds appear by four weeks. Somites will also form the bones of the spinal column, skull, sternum, and ribs. Skeletal muscles eventually enable you to move your body.
A transparent sac called the amnion which was formed by 2 weeks, begins to surround the entire embryo by four weeks. Filled with amniotic fluid, this sterile liquid suspends and protects the developing embryo. This fluid also facilitates lung development, allows swallowing, and later provides nutrients.

OMNIO ACTIVITY TABLE – SECOND MONTH GHANA

The brain continues growing at an incredible rate. During this time, the head makes up about one-third of the embryo’s entire size. An early form of the cerebellum appears by 4 to 4½ weeks; this area of the brain will later control muscle control and coordination.
By 4½ weeks portions of the brain forming the right and left cerebral hemispheres appear. By 5 weeks an optic cup forms from each optic vesicle and pigments begin to form in the emerging retina inside each developing eye.
By 4 weeks, the heart typically beats between 105 and 121 times per minute. The heart’s pacemaker cells develop during this week. From this location, these pacemaker cells, in cooperation with nerve impulses originating outside the heart, help control a person’s heart rate throughout life.
The respiratory system is progressing as 2 primary lung buds form the beginning of the right and left lungs. By 5 weeks, repeated branching of the airway system begins to accelerate. Following birth, these airways connect the air exchange portion of the lungs to the trachea and the outside world. By 5 weeks, the embryo’s liver is producing blood cells. This is the first time blood cell formation begins inside the embryo.
Development of the stomach, esophagus, pancreas, and the small and large intestines is all underway. The permanent kidneys appear by 5 weeks.
Next to the kidneys, the reproductive organs are developing. These will eventually become ovaries in the female and testes in the male. By 5 weeks, early reproductive cells called germ cells begin moving from the yolk sac into the gonads. Meanwhile, the yolk sac continues to nourish the embryo until final connections with the placenta form.

The embryo’s endocrine system is also developing. This system of glands regulates the release of hormones throughout a person’s life. The pituitary gland forms at the base of the brain during week 5 and begins secreting growth hormone.
The limb buds continue to grow and by five weeks the embryo develops hand plates. At this point, the embryo’s skin is only one cell thick. Cartilage formation begins by 5½ weeks. By 5½ weeks, retinal pigment is subtly visible externally.
By 6 weeks a portion of the brain called the cerebral cortex appears. Nerve cells, or neurons, in the spinal cord now begin to develop specialized connections. These connections, where neurons meet and communicate with one another, are called synapses.
Though a pregnant woman does not feel movement for at least another 8 to 10 weeks, the embryo begins to move between 5 and 6 weeks. The embryo’s first movements are both spontaneous and reflexive. 
A light touch to the mouth area causes the embryo to reflexively withdraw its head, while the embryo’s trunk will twist spontaneously. Movements are essential for the normal development of bones and joints.
By 6 weeks, the external ear begins to take shape, and the opening of the ear canal becomes visible. Salivary glands also appear inside the mouth. Blood formation is now actively underway in the liver and contributes to the liver’s bright red color. The rapidly growing liver also begins producing lymphocytes. This type of white blood cell is a key part of the developing immune system. By 5½ weeks, 5 linear digital rays begin forming the bones in the hand including the thumb and fingers. Wrist formation is also underway. At 6 weeks, the embryo’s hand plates develop a subtle flattening and linear digital rays now become noticeable.  The diaphragm, the primary muscle used in breathing, is largely formed by 6 weeks.
The pancreas now begins producing glucagon an important hormone that prevents blood sugar levels from dropping dangerously low. The embryo has brainwaves by 6 weeks, 2 days!
Also by 7 weeks, cell groupings resembling taste buds appear on the tongue and hiccups begin. Nasal plugs are prominent at this time and will persist for another 6 weeks or so. By 7 weeks, the heart has 4 chambers.
The embryonic heart rate peaks at 7 weeks and now beats approximately 167-175 times per minute. This rate gradually declines to about 140 beats per minute at birth.
By 6½ weeks, the elbows are distinct and the embryo begins moving both hands. The fingers are also starting to separate as evidenced by the appearance of notching between the digital rays. The foot plate and ankle also emerge while toes begin to form in the feet.
By 7 weeks, the ovaries appear in the female embryo. In the male embryo, a gene on the Y-chromosome produces a substance causing the testes to begin to differentiate. By 7½ weeks, the hands can be brought together, as can the feet. The embryo also kicks, and will jump if startled.
Also by 7 to 7½ weeks, nephrons, the basic filtration units in the kidneys, begin to form.
By 8 weeks the brain is highly developed and makes up approximately 43 percent of the embryo’s total weight. Growth continues at an extraordinary rate. Our body’s temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus – an important structure which begins developing within the 8-week embryo’s brain.
Slowly or rapidly, singularly or repetitively, spontaneously or reflexively, the embryo continues to practice the movements begun earlier and to move in new ways. Frequently, hands will touch the face and the head will turn. The many muscles of the face are now largely well developed in preparation for the complex facial expressions to follow. Touching the embryo can produce squinting, jaw movement, grasping motions, and toe pointing.
Between 7 and 8 weeks the upper and lower eyelids grow rapidly and begin to fuse together, giving the eyes a nearly closed appearance by 8 weeks. The eyelids are easily visible and by 7½ weeks are poised to enter a stage of rapid growth covering the surface of the deeply pigmented eyes.
The earliest sign of right- or left-handedness begins around eight weeks, with 75 percent of embryos already exhibiting right arm dominance. Left hand dominance and no preference comprise the other 25 percent. By the end of the embryonic period, the total number of heart beats reaches approximately 7.39 million! This large number is but a fraction of the number of times the heart beats during an entire lifetime.
At 8 weeks, the embryo’s internal organs, before easily visible through the thin skin, become relatively hidden as the epidermis becomes a two-layered membrane. On the skin, eyebrows begin to appear along with fine hairs around the mouth. 8 weeks marks the end of the embryonic period. During this time, the human embryo has grown from a single cell into nearly 1 billion cells forming over 4000 distinct anatomic structures. The embryo now possesses more than 90 percent of the structures found in the adult.

OMNIO ACTIVITY TABLE – THIRD MONTH ANKURA

By the beginning of the fetal period, synapses, or connections between nerve cells, are found within the cerebral cortex. By 9 weeks, the nerve receptors in the face, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet can sense and respond to light touch. 
In female fetuses the uterus is identifiable by 9 weeks and, within the fetal ovary, immature germ cells called oogonia, are replicating via mitosis. Outside the body, the genitalia begin to differentiate as either male or female. In the larynx, the appearance of vocal ligaments signals the onset of vocal cord development. The fetus experiences a huge burst of growth between 9 and 10 weeks as weight increases approximately 77 percent.
The corpus callosum, which connects the left and right sides of the brain, begins to develop at this time. Upon stimulation of the upper eyelid, the eyes roll downward. 
The sections of the intestine temporarily displaced into the umbilical cord by the precociously-large liver return to the abdominal cavity. 
By this time the abdomen has grown large enough to hold everything it will permanently house. Blood-filtering groups of capillaries called glomeruli begin their formation in the kidneys. By this point, ossification is underway in most bones. 
By 11 weeks, the nose and lips are completely formed. 
The fetus can now produce complex facial expressions and, according to one group of researchers, is capable of smiling. As with every other body part, facial appearance will change at each stage of the life cycle. The fetus’ intestine begins to absorb glucose and water from swallowed amniotic fluid. 
Though gender is determined at fertilization, genitalia now distinguish male from female.Between 11 and 12 weeks, a second huge burst of growth occurs as weight increases by roughly 58 percent. 12 weeks also marks the end of the first trimester of pregnancy.
The taste bud cells that appeared by 7 weeks have matured into discrete taste buds, but are still scattered throughout the mouth. By birth, the taste buds will be confined to the tongue and palate or roof of the mouth.
Bowel movements begin as early as 12 weeks and continue until 18 weeks. The material first expelled from the fetal and newborn colon is called meconium
It is composed of digestive enzymes, proteins, and dead cells shed by the digestive tract. The bladder now contains cells organized in patterns and resembling smooth muscle.
By 12 weeks, the arms have grown to approximate their final proportion relative to body size. As usual, leg development is slower than arm development and the legs still have not achieved their final proportion.
The whole body surface, except the top of the head and the back, responds to light touch.

OMNIO ACTIVITY TABLE – FOURTH MONTH ASTHI

A division between the oral and nasal cavities forms this week as the opening in the roof of the mouth fuses shut. Fetuses often touch their mouths, sometimes up to 50 times per hour. The jaw opens reflexively in response to pressure at the base of the thumb.
The second trimester of pregnancy begins at 13 weeks. Between 13 and 15 weeks, the four lobes of the cerebral cortex have developed. The face continues to mature: the nasal plugs disappear, fat deposits fill out the cheeks and tooth development begins.
Growth of the lining of the large airways is well underway with cilia appearing for the first time at 13 weeks. Cilia are tiny hair-like projections extending from cells lining the airway. They serve to trap and move mucous and debris toward the throat. Cilia provide an important defense against foreign material and some infections. Mature cells lining the airways will have approximately 200 cilia each.
Gender dependent developmental differences appear for the first time starting at 14 weeks. For instance, female fetuses exhibit mouth movement more frequently than males and this difference increases with advancing age. 
 By 16 weeks, the fetus produces many of the same hormones found in adults. Painful procedures trigger a hormonal stress response. As in newborns and adults, pain is followed by the release of cortisol, ß-endorphins, and norepinephrine into the blood stream. By 15 weeks stem cells arrive and multiply in the bone marrow.
