Welcome
I was invited (having written WDCD) to show the dads how to touch – and what they can do. See the Fatherhood Collective here
We happened upon a local doula/women’s initiation birthing advocate – Skye . integral co fascillitator – initially there as my body model
My objective – to have touch glue the couple together by touch
I went around the room to see what each man wanted to know – 5 were expectant dads, 5 new dads n one had a 2 day old baby.
What I do
Tips (general)
What not to do
Post partum parenting
Birth
Physically support her
Birth and the transition to mother
Birth and post natal
Maiden to mother
Monthly flows – woman – daily rhythm – man
What came up for me to add to
Circumcision
Woman’s body remakes itself in pregnancy
Exercise after – life and Callanetics (not yoga) – ligaments are loose till possibly 6 months after breastfeeding ends.
Prolapse – avoiding injury
Steaming
Jay and Nicholaus (organisers), me and Skye a local doula /natural birth/family advocate
The work released in Free Your Own Qi is the beginning of any work. From there the pelvic opening begins.
WDCD is a dense manual – I will do a smaler edition based on a few basics missed in any pregnacy courses.
1 – Nature expects all creatures to reproduce – it must be easy.
If not – must undo why not as from there, survival of the fittest may not be assured.
2 – Nature does not set us up to fail.
Life versus medical
3 – Dr Shen’s line of crucial times in life
4 – phases of a woman’s life )Dr Shen again)
5 – imbalances to allow pregnancy
6 – ‘T’s
7 ‘- L”s’
