商品簡介
There is richness and magic in birth. Yet because we are afraid of its pain and power we turn our backs on it, choosing instead to sanitize it and backs on it, choosing instead to sanitize it and strip it of feeling through medical interventions. Yet birth is a peak experience that has the potential to transform us, and birthing with conscious awareness offers our children an initial experience of life where they are shown that they need not be afraid - that life in all its intensity is something to embrace, laugh with, cry about and cherish.
The Mama Bamba Way contains processes for women to explore during pregnancy and labor, so that no matter how it unfolds, birth is a satisfying experience for them. The core tools in the book are meditative awareness, relaxation and surrender, deep exploration of our unconscious minds, connecting with our babies in the womb, and labor support.
The Mama Bamba Way also offers practical advice for the early months of parenting and what to do when we suffer the loss of a baby. Although it is an uncommon event, it is included here because it remains unaddressed and avoided too much in our society.
Real birth stories enrich the book with beautiful voices and poignant life lessons...
