Chinese medicine,
having its roots in life principles, holds great potential for helping to
improve maternity care by bridging the application of medicine and the
principles of preserving life. Preserving life means living in a manner that
promotes health and longevity, that recognizes the natural rhythms in nature that
assist the rhythms within us, and places importance upon the balance of
emotions and the physical body. In the end, medicine of any kind is of no value
if it does not consider life first. The true cost of medicine is measured not
in dollars, but in how much life is lost. There is no time in which preserving
life has more importance than during pregnancy and birth.
We have two choices
in how we help expectant mothers during pregnancy and birth, we can fill their
heads with technical terms, statistics and data, or we can speak to
their hearts, empowering them to be confident in their pregnancy and birth and allowing
them to see that what they need to know in order to grow, birth, and raise their
children already exists in the heart of every mother. In this way, the technical terms, statastics and data can stay in the heads of birth providers where it belongs, and the experience of birth can stay in the heart of the mother. By reconnecting to the
innate wisdom that exists within each of us, expectant mothers can build their
inner courage, follow their natural instincts, and identify support people who
will help positively support their birth experience and preserve the life of
mother and child for the future.
The wisdom of
Hunyuan medicine has been instrumental in the development of how I now help
mothers find the knowledge of pregnancy and childbirth within themselves and I
am pleased to be introducing this information through the Hunyuan Academy,
alongside a team of knowledgeable, insightful and compassionate colleagues. My
hope is that access to this information will help families build confidence in
their own inner knowledge and ability to maintain health and preserve life from
the beginning. In addition to the blogs, we are pleased to offer free lectures,
talks, and discussions on various topics of health, wellness, life and
humanity. To register for any of the free courses offered, please visit the
Hunyuan Academy website.
