It took me a long time to finish this book, partly because I had a bit of difficulty with the psychology part in the middle, partly because my three year old relocated it on me and it took me a few days to find it (actually on a bookshelf, who saw that coming?!). But I'm glad I did, because at the very least, it gave me some insight and some ideas into how to approach late pregnancy, labor & delivery, and postpartum life the second time around. I'm not sure how far I agree with the concepts of pre-birth regression and psychological birth wounds in newborns, but I can for sure agree with the concepts of childbirth, for women, being a liminal event in which buried, forgotten, or unrealized wounds can surface and choke our spirits, or of a first birthing experience being unexpected or traumatic, and affecting our relationships and our subsequent pregnancy and birth experiences. And that's why I'm glad I kept going with the book til the end, for the perspectives on those events and processes. I don't know if I can recommend this book for everyone, but for the right person it would be a valuable read and resource. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A therapist and childbirth educator shows how connection to nature and the spiritual world can heal birth trauma and preserve the health and well-being of mothers and babies. * Encourages mothers to reconnect with nature and spirit to heal old wounds and have deeply satisfying birth experiences. * Provides convincing evidence that prenatal and birth experiences have a lifelong effect on emotional health. * Fosters a close and abiding bond between mother and child. Have you had a birthing experience that fell short of your expectations? What was your mother's experience when she had you? Do you long for a deeper bond with your loved ones? In Reclaiming the Spirituality of Birth, Benig Mauger suggests that our prenatal and birth experiences affect us for the rest of our lives. And because our modern approach to birth separates mothers from their primordial knowledge of natural delivery, many people suffer from lifelong birth wounds. Mauger invites women to reclaim the connection to their own instinctive, intuitive, and inherently spiritual creative powers. The West's rational, mechanistic worldview wreaks havoc with the birth experience as it leads to ever increasing levels of high-tech medical intervention. Induced labor, fetal monitors, and pain-killing drugs alter the natural rhythms of delivery. This scientific approach puts medical personnel in control of the birth process, leaving mothers and their babies with a profound sense of loss. Drawing on her experience as a birth teacher, therapist, and mother, Benig Mauger suggests that by reconnecting with the natural and spiritual world an expectant mother can make the birth experience her own, thereby healing old wounds and allowing herself both a deeply satisfying delivery and an abiding spiritual connection to her child.
