Healing Birth Healing Earth

Shirley Ward

Description

In this extraordinary and much needed study of a sadly neglected area of therapy, Shirley Ward sets out clearly her discoveries around birth trauma, a work richly embedded with case studies from her long career as a pioneering pre- and perinatal psychotherapist. Your conception, gestation and birth may have been wonderful one, an experience of bliss and joy, or it could have been a deeply troublesome one. Remembering can help the re-creation of Self, healing what went wrong - and the awareness of what went right.
Over the last 40-50-years there have been many studies of conception memories. It is now known that the retrieval of pre- and perinatal memories (from before and after birth) can help us understand how and why we behave as we do in the world.
This spiritual parenting of our primal times can begin to heal what might have gone amiss in the conception, gestation and birth from our physical parents.Many answers are found in the earliest period of our human development, the study of which is still in its infancy. This book is such a study, a journey through pre- and perinatal psychotherapy to heal birth, and in that way, heal the Earth.
This book is an intriguing insight into our early beginnings and their influences on our character and personality in our life, and our relationship with family, work and the wider implications worldwide. Shirley Ward, in her long career as a pioneering pre and perinatal psychotherapist, sets out clearly the basic principles of pre- and perinatal psychotherapy illustrated richly with case studies. This is an extraordinary and much needed study of foetal consciousness and our sacred journey from conception to birth, to give hope in a rapidly changing world.
At its foundation is the pioneering work of Dr. Frank Lake, the British psychiatrist who believed that our life was influenced from conception and our birth. Tracing the history of birth memories it is well known that the retrieval of pre and perinatal memories from conception, the time in the womb and birth can help us understand how and why we behave as we do in the world. Many answers are found in this earliest period of human development. By understanding the state of our parents at our conception, how we were treated in the womb and the type of birth we experience will all contribute to our personality, character and health.
This book is written not only for professional and psychotherapists to understand seemingly irrational behaviour in their clients, whether children, teenagers or adults. There is something for everyone to understand, giving clarity and a reason to questions that have had no answer and problems that may have their origins in this early non-verbal period of their lives.
Evidence is showing that memories are stored in our bodies which give that necessary insight that negative thoughts from these early periods may be understood by consciously knowing the physical, historical and emotional beginnings and their influences upon us. The creative, dynamic theories of rhythms and patterns, fractals, as emphasised by Dr Jean Houston are synthesised into the work and also the understanding of the chakras and energy healing of Rosalyn Bruyere. It is shown that understanding evolves as more and more ideas influence our deeper meaning of life and living in the future. More research into the mind and brain sciences will also contribute to this invaluable work.

How we are prepared for conception; the circumstances surrounding our conception; the state of our parents at our conception; how we are treated in the womb; how we are born—influences our lifelong behaviour, and that conclusively, we live our lives according to the trauma or glory of our birth.
~ Shirley Ward



Dedicated to the memory of my parents both born during the difficult days of World War 1, who gifted me with life during World War 2. Their vision was always hope for a brighter future. I have attempted to continue this vision with insight and positivity in my life and the understanding that to help one person is to help to heal the world. Healing our birth and understanding its impact on our life is a great step forward and gives hope for our human race.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF THE AUTHOR

SINCE ITS FOUNDING in 1982 by Alison Hunter, Amethyst Resource for Human Development in Ireland has pioneered and researched the experiential work of over 2,500 people reliving their journey from conception to birth. I have worked with Alison from the beginning.
Over the last twenty five years or more, there has been a timely renaissance of birth memories and hypotheses of intra-uterine and conception memories. Theoretical studies go back at least eighty years to the time of Otto Ranks work in 1924.
Amethyst has at its foundation the work of Dr. Frank Lake, the British psychiatrist who spent many years of his life exploring the realms of conception, the first, second and third trimesters of life in the womb and the affect of these experiences upon later personality and behaviour. I knew Dr. Frank Lake personally. He was the first British psychiatrist to recognise the importance of trauma at birth and before birth in the development of personality. During my time with Amethyst, I have attempted to prove through experiential work and communication with international colleagues, the truth behind his many hypotheses of life in the womb. Very real events occur in the pre- and perinatal period which relate to dysfunction and deprivation, leading to dysfunctional children and adults.
Our work at Amethyst is mainly Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy and includes primal integration, regression therapy, energy healing, visualisation, meditation, bioenergetics, artwork, creative story writing, shamanic journeying, dancing and music. The major work is the healing of wounded adults and children whose problems may lie in this uncharted area of life in the womb.
Play therapy, incorporating birth facilitation for children is also a technique used by Carmel Byrne, Child and Ad
