Baby Showers, Registries, Necessities? Integrating Yoga & Lamaze Part 5 – Aparigraha.by Deena Blumenfeld on Jan 24, 2012 On an emotional level, Aparigraha can refer to clinging to an idea of what we must have for our births. Sometimes we cling so tightly to that idea; we forget what is truly important and necessary. The “ideal” birth is one of the ways we cling to that which isn’t necessary. This can cause heartache and disappointment if the “ideal” goal isn’t met – even if there are true and valid medical reasons why that goal wasn’t met. 248 views |

Part 2 – Satya.by Deena Blumenfeld on Dec 5, 2011 Satya – truthfulness is a multi-level, fully conscious practice.

Having a solid, respectful, honest relationship with our care providers will not only give us a physical birth that is safe and appropriate, but will also provide us with the emotional support and confidence that we need. 181 views |
