Birth as We Know It

Now that the daily routine of the cleanse is finished, I find myself feeling like I have nothing earth shattering that warrants an entry on this blog ... but then again, I have also been a bit in a cave-mode since I am still deeply grieving the loss of my dear friend.  And this of course, does not make one very communicative.

I am very grateful to be in New York City at this time, reconnecting with old friends, bumping into someone I've known since we are 17, strolling in wonderful neighborhoods, and getting yummy juices and wheatgrass shots from the city's many juice bars.

I am keeping a witness stance of myself and my emotions, and asking for help from friends when I need it, as well as taking action with wonderful results.  Here is one I would like to share with you:

As some of you may know, the healing method I have developed is outstanding in releasing deeply ingrained, frozen traumas.  It can even be done over the phone.  One of the recurrent type of traumas I encounter in people, are the traumas that date back from the birth itself.  A baby is incredibly sensitive, and the usual birth practices in hospital are less than respectful of the baby's natural process and needs.  These traumas translate in a lifelong low self esteem, inability to move forward, self doubt, struggle, neediness, powerlessness and other baffling traits of characters.

Friends and co-workers might get frustrated with someone who is bumping against such frozen feelings inside themselves.  Their exhortation of "Just do it" just doesn't work.  Having a frozen traumatized feeling is really akin to being imprisoned inside yourself.  

I have been targeting such traumatized feelings and releasing them with great results.  The inspiration to focus on the birth traumas came three years ago, when I was in L.A. at the Raw food lifestyle movie festival, at the showing of an incredibly moving documentary "Birth as We Know It."  This week, I noticed that Elena, the author, is coming soon to New York city to conduct a workshop which helps recode these limbic imprints.  So I called with the idea to stay longer in NYC and register for the workshop, but instead, what came out of my mouth was that I was calling to organize a workshop in Toronto... and within three days, we have a date (in three short weeks), I've found a location for the workshop and a place to stay for Elena, organized two movie screenings, and we have 5 people registering...

I am thrilled to learn from Elena, who has been specifically focusing on this subject for about 30 years.

I am so grateful that I have learned to follow the flow, my heart's guidance, and let go of the "yeah but" inner chatter that would have prevented such a wonderful occurrence.
