About Mother As First Guru
The journey towards and during motherhood can be a pathway to
profound self discovery, personal growth and spiritual
realisation. If a woman is able to experience fertility,
pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood as part of her spiritual
being, then the whole of her life becomes a meaningful meditation.
Yet, all too often our experiences become de-personalised,
sanitised, externalised and traumatised. As medical science develops
new ways to manage illness and the so-called
difficulties of childbirth, many women come to the task of
motherhood ill-prepared by life, and trusting not in themselves
but in the authority of others to deliver them from the fear,
ignorance and lack of meaning in their reproductive lives.
This bookset includes not only ideas, but also practical advice
and techniques, to assist the reader in making real
transformations in fertility, birthing and motherhood. Included
are 2 audio CDs, 200 pages of techniques and over 50 practice
programs of yoga postures, breathing, relaxation and meditation. |
