About this listen

A much-needed antidote to our modern, assembly-line approach to childbirth, this new book is designed as a guide for all who wish to participate in the wondrous process of bringing new life into the world. Its ideas derive from two sources: the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, with its emphasis on body, mind, and spirit; and the latest Western scientific prenatal research. By integrating the best information from these two very different perspectives, this remarkable book gives readers the tools to ensure that our children are nourished by thoughts, words, and actions from the very moment of conception.

Magical Beginnings, Enchanted Lives is rich in practical information, including strategies to help enliven the body intelligence of unborn babies by nourishing each of their five senses, as well as through Ayurvedically balanced nutrition and eating with awareness. Specific yoga poses and meditation techniques reduce the mother's stress and improve the infant's emotional environment, as do tips for conscious communication with a partner. Exercises prepare parents for the experience of childbirth itself, followed by natural approaches to dealing with the first weeks of parenting, from healing herbs to enhancing your milk supply to coping with postpartum depression.

Inspiring, expansive, and remarkably informative, this unique book from acclaimed experts in mind-body medicine will profoundly enhance the experience of pregnancy and birth for both parents and baby.

Just what I needed. Amongst the important books that tell you all the horrible things that could go wrong, this focuses on centering yourself on what is going right and managing anxiety.

Magical Beginnings, Enchanted Lives (Unabridged

I listen to the whole thing and took notes and collaborated with my partner on each chapter. It was exceptionally redundant rhetorical and long stretches between interesting points. There were even a few contradictions. I imagined this would have been a great book and number of decades ago. But a modern family has access to more accurate and efficient information and tools. I'm glad I read it but if I could do it again I would have chosen a more modern and accurate resource

a great book if it was 1981. But vastly unequipped
