We all acknowledge that birth is hard. For the mothers who are delivering the baby, we acknowledge that it can be the most painful experience they ever have. But what about the baby? The way we have set up birth in today’s culture introduces trauma to babies. Read more to understand how baby doula services can be the best gift you can give yourself and your baby.
Services include prenatal craniosacral and massage treatments, postpartum care, breastfeeding support, hands-on guidance interpreting baby body language, sleeping, bathing, infant massage, emotional support, laundry, meal preparation, errands and grocery shopping, help with older siblings, and overnight support.
Today’s culture and rituals around birth often pathologize the process and introduce technocratic birth interventions while also ignoring the fact that babies are conscious and aware of their experiences. The baby is not only leaving the home he/she has known, but under remarkable circumstances, the baby must pass through a space so narrow and experience tremendous cranial pressures. If delivered by C-section, the baby may or may not have already descended into the pelvic inlet, but it will be aestheticized at a dosage suitable for it’s mothers weight not its own, and aggressively ripped out of its home most often without any conscious preparation from the parents are staff attending the birth, meaning no one communicates directly to the baby what circumstances are about to unfold; thereby, the birth process is no longer a mutual dance between the baby’s chemical messengers and impulses and the mother, but rather the baby is delivered by an outsider, violating intimacy, choice, agency and constitution.
In most cases, the people present at a birth are so focused on what the mother is going through that they don’t spend equal awareness and empathy on what the baby is going through until it crowns or emerges from the C-section incision. As a result, babies cry when there seems to be no reason, or they are diagnosed with “colic” for weeks and months or longer after their births. I frequently hear midwives tell mothers after the birth that their baby may be inexplicably fussy Day 2 and Day 3 post birth, and to have a pacifier ready to soothe them.
We can birth babies differently, and we once did! We can take on compassionate birth practices to help ease their passage and when we do so, babies can recover from birth trauma and have more access to spirituality and reach their fullest human potential. Unresolved trauma and the way we currently handle babies explains how so much violence, mental illness, and behavioral disorders are rampant in today’s culture.
“In some cases, adults cry off and on or feel intense anxiety for weeks or months or longer after experiencing trauma. Everyone knows that when there has been a trauma there are consequences: physical and psychological. The physical consequences are usually more obvious, the psychological consequences are unpredictable and diverse, “PTS”, post-traumatic stress. If we can acknowledge that babies suffer from mild to severe PTS after birth, we can help them get through it. Otherwise, if we deny or repress awareness of this malady, they must get through it on their own like most of us did. Little agonies stay stuck inside. Ultimately, millions of unresolved individuals’ woundings get acted out in society as the objectionable aspects of business, politics, and relationships.”
My baby doula services address all of this within the context of your family field. So, I do not just see the baby, I see the parents, the medical staff, extended family, and siblings. I teach the family how to see the baby’s trauma and coach everyone on how to listen empathically to the baby telling their story and sharing emotional and physical pain they suffered during the birth. I create space for accurate empathy to unfold, thereby the baby and family has space to release and drain emotional and physical stress out of the body system, emotional system, and relational system. Contracted ligaments and connective tissues in the face and cranium relax after intense crying, and membranes are cleansed and invigorated. Neural pathways in the brain can release and redistribute after a period of intense crying. Craniosacral fluid in the brain is refreshed and flows more easily.
Baby Doula services offer 6 steps for parents to support their babies with the most compassionate, effective care for their newborn baby:
Learn about presence—I help coach parents prior to birth about the power and healing of presence with yourself and in relationship with your loved ones. We discuss your own birth and childhood experiences that may be bringing unresolved trauma to your current birth.“The most decisive event in your life is when you discover you are not your thoughts or emotions. Instead, you can be present as the awareness behind the thoughts and emotions.” ~Eckhart Tolle
Learn Infant Massage—babies need bodywork immediately after birth and the best person to provide frequent healing touch is a parent or family member. Massage of the cranium, abdomen, chin, and neck reduces the intensity of birth compression sites and cranial molding (or lack thereof in the case of C-section). Massage helps babies who have been exposed to Pitocin and pain medications. The tissue manipulation helps stimulate the lymph system and milk the drugs out of the muscle tissue and flush from the body through urine.
Receive Birth Pathway Presence Education—Birth Pathway Presence is a method developed by Dr. William Emerson, one of the preeminent founders of prenatal and perinatal psychology, to treat the conjunct pathways and compression sites along the baby’s cranium and face that scraped against the mother’s pelvic bones and were compressed by muscle contractions. This subject uncovers the meaning of implicit memory and addresses “Memory Crying”. Babies have three types of cries: Needs Crying, Self-activated Crying, and Memory Crying. Often we categorize memory crying as colic. Implicit memory is referred to as unconscious memory or automatic memory and it is stored in the body during an event that imprints upon the automatic nervous system and is coupled with emotion. “Implicit memory relies on structures in our brain that are fully developed before we are born. Because it’s an unconscious, bodily memory, when it gets triggered in the present, it does not seem like it’s coming from the past. Instead, it feels like it’s happening now. Thus, we react as if we are back in the original situation.” I help those who are caring for the baby to see the conjunct pathways on the baby’s head and face and help them understand what obstacles and forces the baby encountered during their birth journey.
Finding the most peaceful, non-reactive site along a conjunct pathway—I help caretakers with presence and palpation skills to apply pleasurable pressure along a site on the conjunct pathway where the baby experience spirituality and stillness. This experience creates meditative space for the caretaker and the baby to co-regulate together and experience coherence, peace, joy, and love. Once this has been discovered, a parent can move forward and treat the more reactive sites along the conjunct pathways.
Exploring how the baby’s crying is making you feel—it’s important to identify a friend or a therapist who can support parents with their own body reactions to their babies’ cries. A baby’s cry will often trigger implicit memories in the parent and can cause unwanted reactions, disassociation or disconnection from their child’s emotional needs. Every one of us carries our own inner child and if we have unresolved trauma or adverse childhood experiences that lend to unmet emotional needs than we often misunderstand what our babies’ needs are in the moment. This reaction can be healed by bringing awareness to your own implicit memories.
Setting boundaries—I help parents stabilize in their intentions for their baby. Often times, we can merge with another person’s experience or think we are treating trauma in our child, but we are actually projecting emotional states from within ourselves. We want to be accurate in our treatment, but we can also make mistake. Babies are conscious, and they do not care if you make a mistake. Our words organize compassion. By knowing the principles of boundaries, we can be more supportive for our child’s needs.
Babies are the most miraculous gifts, and we are charged to hold and nurture their full potential. The benefits of booking a baby doula are immeasurable. When a baby is supported in this way to form secure, loving attachments and experience compassion first-hand, they can become more deeply connected to their soul and to spirituality. They can grow and care for others and the world in which they live. They are given the gift of human potential and a clear path to carry our their soul’s purpose in this life.
The energetic space between us relates to the Field of energy that permeates all space. Our emotions have energy tones and frequencies that set the tone in our spaces. Attuning to our energy field is a means of being conscious and connected to our emotional needs as humans. This attunement, or lack thereof, is the science of birth psychology. As we become more aware of our emotions and needs, we can become a better society. This talk is about compassionate birth practices for a more peaceful world. Our birth stories and time in-utero set the stage for our mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being for the rest of our life. Please See Transcript Below
hello dear listeners of APPA my name is
0:08
Christianna Deichmann I am the director of
0:11
education at APPPAH the association for
0:13
prenatal and perinatal psychology and
0:16
health I wear a lot of hats during my
0:19
day and these different roles at times
0:22
I’m a psychosomatic therapist a cranial
0:25
sacral therapist (craniosacral therapist) a massage therapist I
0:28
am a mother a daughter a wife a friend a
0:32
colleague
0:33
and despite all these different hats
0:35
that I wear they all have one thing in
0:38
common
0:39
each of these roles I carry a relational
0:42
space with other human beings and that’s
0:46
what I’m here to talk about today the
0:49
energetic relational space
0:51
between you and I
0:54
Lynn McTaggart describes it in her book
0:56
The Field
0:57
it’s an invisible
1:00
energy force yet it’s all around us
1:03
it’s even if you watch Star Wars and you
1:06
hear of the force the force be with you
1:09
perhaps you can tune into it just now
1:13
just feel your body
1:16
and notice what you feel like
1:19
early on in my life I was always keenly
1:21
aware of this energetic space that I
1:24
held Within Myself
1:26
and what energy was in my space from
1:29
others
1:30
it was a gift and a curse and in the
1:33
earlier years of my life I unconsciously
1:35
spent a lot of time staying busy not
1:39
slowing down enough to tune into this
1:41
energetics energy field and if I did
1:44
slow down I didn’t enjoy feeling the
1:47
pollution that had been stockpiled in my
1:51
space
1:52
but I didn’t realize that the pollution
1:56
I was carrying wasn’t just mine it was
1:59
pollution that had gathered over the
2:01
ages from family members that came
2:04
before me from interactions that my
2:06
family members had with others in their
2:09
energetic relational space
2:11
I was finally forced to confront this
2:14
pollution in my space after the birth of
2:17
my first child Audrey
2:19
and that’s why I’m here today to share a
2:22
compelling personal story of suffering
2:24
compassion and hopefully you will find
2:28
Hope
2:29
like I have
2:30
but first I want to segue just for a
2:33
moment and I want to have you reflect on
2:35
two different images and just notice
2:38
what happens into your body or what
2:40
happens in your body when you notice the
2:42
images the first image is sourced from
2:45
Dr masuru emoto’s water crystal
2:48
experiments Dr Emoto was a Japanese
2:51
researcher who claimed human
2:52
consciousness has an effect on the
2:55
molecular structure of water and one of
2:58
the experiments he did was to place
3:00
different written words on water to note
3:02
the effect it had on the molecular
3:04
structure
3:05
so
3:06
first look at this picture and just
3:09
notice what you feel
3:13
the words he put on this water bottle
3:16
was you are beautiful
3:20
and he famously said words are the
3:22
vibration of nature therefore beautiful
3:25
words create beautiful nature and ugly
3:28
words create ugly nature this is the
3:31
root of the universe
3:34
so now for the second image I’m going to
3:37
put you put up here is the image the
3:40
words here
3:41
or you disgust me
3:44
you disgust me
3:47
and I’d like for you to just hold that
3:49
image
3:50
and notice
3:54
how it makes you feel
3:56
or if there are any differences from the
3:58
first images
4:01
and I just want you to carry these
4:02
images in your hearts and Minds for the
4:04
time being well we take into
4:06
consideration the reality of the world
4:09
we are in just now
4:12
today the world is changing so fast
4:15
every second it’s impossible to keep up
4:17
there is an old way of thinking and a
4:19
new way of thinking the buzzword
4:21
everyone hears now is consciousness
4:23
being aware but how does this apply to
4:26
today’s talk about bird psychology and
4:29
the old way of thinking we treat the
4:31
birthing parent the mother while
4:34
regarding a baby as a developing being
4:36
with an immature nervous system a being
4:39
that cannot feel think for itself or
4:42
truly understand the happenings going on
4:45
around it
4:47
an interesting Paradise Paradox envelops
4:50
of Hades though we have this societal
4:53
misconception that babies can’t feel or
4:57
sense yet most of us have witnessed
4:59
moments when babies radiate a sense of
5:02
innocence and Purity from their beings
5:06
so much that it’s contagious when you
5:09
gaze into their eyes you share a moment
5:12
of connection
5:14
what is this phenomenon
5:17
it’s the energetic relational space that
5:21
babies carry it’s their blueprint
5:25
this is what I want to highlight today
5:27
for me the relational energetic space is
5:31
at the heart of first psychology and
5:34
bringing awareness to this relational
5:36
space are what Lynn McTaggart so
5:39
famously coined as the field is the very
5:42
essence of conscious thinking
5:46
every human being in the world is
5:48
impacted by birth psychology every
5:50
energetic imprint we are exposed to In
5:53
Utero is stored in our bodies and it
5:55
shapes how our bodies and psyches come
5:59
into form so every action every thought
6:02
every field tone in a baby’s space
6:05
matters
6:07
did you know the human eye can only
6:11
detect point one percent of the
6:14
electromagnetic energy around us
6:17
I like comparing this to a cell phone
6:19
we’re all familiar with cell phones have
6:21
you ever thought about how Wi-Fi
6:23
actually works when you pick up the
6:25
phone call a friend it’s instantaneous
6:28
and yet the vibration of our voice we
6:32
can’t see your voice
6:34
but we understand somehow it’s
6:36
transmuted into Data that crosses an
6:40
energetic field
6:41
of space and time and it transfers over
6:45
to the other person’s phone across the
6:48
country or the world and instantaneously
6:51
we can be in connection with that person
6:54
despite distance
6:56
are the physical reality that we cannot
7:00
see
7:01
so I want you to recall those water
7:03
images that I showed you just a few
7:05
moments ago
7:06
and I want you to think about what this
7:09
means for a baby growing inside of a
7:12
medium of water because the fetus is 90
7:15
water
7:17
what shapes are we imprinting upon the
7:20
molecular structure of this developing
7:23
being by the words and emotions we are
7:26
carrying in our energetic space
7:30
and let me with that question let’s just
7:33
take a pause and consider some really
7:35
startling statistics that are here in
7:38
the United States where I happen to
7:40
reside but a lot of these statistics
7:44
coincide with other areas of the world
7:46
as well
7:48
in the U.S according to the CDC one in
7:51
54 children had a diagnose diagnosis of
7:55
autism
7:56
by the age of eight in 2016.
8:00
and a 10 increase over ADHD cases were
8:06
also recorded
8:08
since then we’ve seen steep increases
8:12
increases of both autism and ADHD not
8:16
only in the U.S but globally
8:18
and interestingly enough the average
8:20
American that takes prescription
8:22
medication takes four medications a day
8:28
45.8 percent of the U.S population in
8:31
the year 2016
8:34
was recorded as taking a prescription
8:36
drug that’s almost half of the U.S
8:40
population that uses prescriptions
8:44
today in 2021 60 66 of U.S adults take
8:50
prescription drugs and out of those
8:53
numbers 18 of children aged 0 to 11 use
8:57
prescription drugs 20 27 of adolescents
9:01
aged 12 to 19 use prescription drugs
9:05
most of these drugs fall in the bracket
9:08
is either stimulants or deep presence of
9:11
the autonomic nervous system
9:14
and alongside of this news of where we
9:19
are with medication in today’s world
9:22
Kamala Harris kicked off the first ever
9:26
maternal Health call to action Summit in
9:29
January 2021 they released data that one
9:33
in five women will suffer from a
9:35
maternal mental health disorder like
9:37
postpartum depression
9:39
and maternal depression is the most
9:41
common complication of birth yet in the
9:43
U.S most women are never even diagnosed
9:47
and those that are less than 15 of them
9:50
will even receive treatment for it
9:53
according to the mom Congress statistics
9:55
one in seven women will experience
9:57
depression during pregnancy
9:59
37 of anxiety and depression has risen
10:03
in our teenage girls who are one day
10:06
going to have to who one day may suffer
10:10
from postpartum depression
10:12
the United States has the highest
10:15
maternal mortality rate of any High
10:17
resource country black women are three
10:20
times more likely to die in childbirth
10:22
than white women in America
10:24
considering these statistics what type
10:26
of energetic relational spaces are
10:29
babies entering into in this planet
10:33
I wonder
10:35
I know what it was for me and for my
10:37
children
10:39
but there’s hope
10:41
and I know there’s hope because my own
10:43
personal story birth psychology saved my
10:46
life it moved me to shift my state of
10:49
being in my autonomic nervous system
10:51
this energetic space I carry into
10:54
relational Fields with others
10:56
I changed my career path in my late 30s
10:59
after having two children of my own and
11:01
After experiencing firsthand what is
11:03
happening to women babies and families
11:05
in the world
11:07
my energetic relational space I carried
11:10
around from as early as I can remember
11:12
I was high functioning overachiever yet
11:16
I was falling apart on the inside
11:18
my family was broken and had been broken
11:21
Generations before
11:23
and when I got pregnant I had no idea
11:27
what was in store for me I took a
11:29
prenatal education class
11:31
okay and I read a book What To Expect
11:34
While expecting
11:36
nothing prepared me for what I was to
11:39
encounter
11:40
and I ended up having a c-section
11:41
because my daughter was breech
11:44
and so many afflictions ailed her for
11:47
the first seven years of her life from
11:49
colic anger explosive temper tantrums
11:53
that would have
11:54
an hour and a half duration chronic ear
11:57
infections gut issues eczema behavioral
12:01
issues night terrors bathroom challenges
12:04
inexplicable fears the list kind of goes
12:08
on and on and it was very stressful
12:11
yet she’s This brilliant little girl
12:13
who’s full of life love and smiles and
12:16
I’ll put a picture of her now
12:18
when she wrapped her fingers around mine
12:21
for the first time her hot little breath
12:23
brushed against my skin
12:25
and I was Swept Away by unconditional
12:28
love
12:28
and an energy took over me like I had
12:31
never felt before
12:32
I would do anything for this little girl
12:36
of course all these hardships we endured
12:39
in our first couple years of life sent
12:41
me over the edge
12:43
I had a mental physical emotional
12:45
spiritual breakdown by the time she was
12:47
four I woke up with four slip discs in
12:50
my cervical spine and I could not
12:52
function
12:53
I was headed for another downward spiral
12:57
I wasn’t getting answers from the
13:00
classical ways of modern medicine I was
13:02
given heavy narcotics and the option of
13:05
back surgery but no answers as to what
13:08
was causing my suffering
13:10
this is when I discovered the field of
13:12
Earth psychology
13:13
and knowing what I know now I wish we
13:16
had this curriculum that we have at
13:18
Apple in every medical school every OB
13:21
GYN track every school health class Even
13:24
in our public school system because
13:26
bringing awareness to the energetic
13:28
relational space we carry through the
13:31
states of our being and our autonomic
13:33
nervous system
13:34
what we call polyvagal Theory this is
13:38
what we can put to work in our life with
13:42
simple tactics such as timing taking
13:44
time outs mindfulness breathing
13:48
teaching this to our elementary children
13:51
such a young age
13:53
all of it about regulation of how we
13:57
handle stimulation in our bodies
14:00
and skipping forward to today
14:02
after I went through such a healing
14:05
Journey with cranial sacral therapy
14:07
Supreme perinatal psychology studies a
14:11
host of somatic-based therapy trainings
14:13
I’m completely rewired you can say I’m
14:17
born again in my autonomic nervous
14:19
system thanks to the knowledge for
14:21
psychology and somatic therapy practices
14:25
now I’m on a mission to save the planet
14:27
and more to the point change how we view
14:30
birth and babies because I discovered on
14:33
my path of learning first psychology
14:36
is how to master the energetic
14:39
relational space between human beings
14:44
and so far we’ve been driven by
14:46
disconnection
14:48
rather than emotional connection
14:52
for me birth psychology is about the
14:56
human biological imperative that we are
14:59
meant to be in connection with together
15:02
in connection with one another
15:05
and you might be wondering but I’m in
15:07
connection with people all the time
15:09
and this is where I paint you a picture
15:11
of a story of my daughter’s birth
15:13
through the lens of information I glean
15:15
from birth psychology
15:17
and I’m gonna ask you are you really
15:19
connected can you be more connected more
15:22
aware
15:23
can you change patterns that are
15:26
entrenched in your nervous system
15:29
when I got pregnant
15:31
I had so much hardship in the beginning
15:34
I didn’t think I could handle having a
15:36
child due to my financial
15:38
situation at the time my job I was
15:41
barely meeting my own emotional and
15:43
psychological needs I was scared and
15:46
alone
15:47
and I didn’t realize that I had this
15:50
little being growing inside of me
15:51
marinating and the energy of my space
15:56
heart math was lost to me I had no idea
15:58
that my baby attuned to my circadian
16:01
rhythms and the my heartbeat
16:03
so that’s the case now I know why she
16:05
was so frenetic when she was a little
16:07
baby
16:09
but just to pause and consider what it
16:13
felt like her for the day of her
16:14
C-section
16:16
I had inexplic explicable rushes of fear
16:20
and panic throughout that morning and
16:22
especially when I was on that operating
16:24
table ready to receive my epidural
16:28
I never communicated with her in fact I
16:31
had been communicating with everyone
16:32
around me my family my best friend who
16:34
was there I wasn’t speaking to her it
16:38
was as if she must have been in a corner
16:41
by yourself people were talking about
16:43
her and around her but not to her
16:47
and there is no gentleness about a
16:50
C-section
16:51
when I was on that table in this
16:54
fog of ambiguity fear
16:57
I was being rocked from side to side and
17:00
I realized now gosh what did she go
17:03
through
17:04
when their doctor put his hands inside
17:07
and ripped her out of my stomach
17:11
out of my womb
17:13
and then she was quickly you know sent
17:17
over to the nurses
17:18
pricked and prodded washed she screams
17:23
so loud I still see her face that
17:26
wrinkled face of her utter her screams
17:32
after all of this I felt like a huge
17:35
failure
17:36
I was exhausted distraught I was a mess
17:41
by the time my daughter was four years
17:44
of age
17:46
all the while
17:47
now I know
17:49
that this energetic physiology in my
17:52
body is what Candice the internationally
17:55
recognized neuroscience and
17:56
pharmacologists so famously coined as
17:59
the molecules of emotion
18:02
if I just consider for my little baby’s
18:04
perspective how she was handled what she
18:06
felt I came to realize she was born into
18:10
an energetic war zone here in the United
18:14
States of America
18:17
all because of stress
18:19
and the level of stress that I carried
18:22
in my family carried
18:25
and just how we carry ourselves in our
18:28
normal day in day out work environment
18:34
on the surface she was getting all of
18:37
her physical needs met yet so much more
18:41
could have been given to her
18:43
and this is where I remind myself of
18:46
this image I showed you earlier
18:49
you disgust me
18:52
that’s what I think of now because if I
18:55
was consciously treated the way she was
18:57
treated at her birth and even in the
19:00
womb I would definitely hold the message
19:03
in my heart space that I must be
19:06
something worth hurting
19:08
I must be something worth targeting for
19:12
suffering
19:14
because
19:15
we’re not conscious of our birth rituals
19:20
and what we put our babies through
19:23
so now I’m just gonna invite you to take
19:26
a pause take a moment to breathe
19:30
breathe into your being
19:32
fill yourself with just some self-care
19:37
and I want you to think about what I
19:40
just described
19:41
are you getting a sense that my daughter
19:44
and I were truly connected
19:48
just consider for a moment that my
19:50
relational space and hers they were next
19:53
to each other but we were miles apart
19:56
from the inside
19:58
she was alone and I was alone
20:01
and I had been throwing all of my
20:04
emotions
20:05
into the relational space between us
20:09
I was polluting the space
20:12
there was no Bridge
20:15
and for me this is where birth
20:17
psychology
20:20
builds hope for the world
20:22
it is a bridge it was the bridge that I
20:25
was able to build from my heart to my
20:27
daughter’s heart and along the Journey
20:29
of deepening my awareness I became
20:31
enthralled with the energetic aspect of
20:34
human beings
20:35
we are pockets of energy
20:38
Bruce lipton’s biology of belief Candace
20:42
purse molecules of emotion Francis
20:44
Mott’s Universal Design of creation
20:46
Thomas verny’s book The Secret Life Of
20:49
The Unborn Child Bliss goes on and on I
20:52
stand on the shoulders of giants people
20:55
who went before me and pioneered all
21:00
all this awareness so that I could come
21:02
become more conscious birth psychology
21:04
helped me understand my emotions and
21:06
where they are coming from and what are
21:09
emotions they’re Natural Born energetic
21:12
rights that are entitled to every human
21:15
being
21:16
they are about connection purpose
21:18
meaning Joy Freedom they’re bubbles of
21:21
life-giving energy and they are the
21:23
essence of our soul
21:26
and so when I consider the events as of
21:28
late that are happening these acts of
21:30
inexplicable violence you see in the
21:32
news polarizing politics systemic
21:35
disease anxiety depression I no longer
21:39
look at a person and think why are they
21:41
this way
21:42
rather I wonder what happened to them
21:47
what energetics are in their relational
21:51
Fields what kind of pollution was put
21:56
there and what kind of bridge can we
21:59
build to connect to their heart
22:02
to their emotions
22:05
to their soul
22:08
so I’m inviting everyone today who’s
22:10
listening
22:12
that we can change this world together
22:14
and I’m reaching out holding my hand out
22:17
to you building a bridge through birth
22:19
psychology sending an invitation
22:22
I want to know more about you and your
22:25
story
22:26
I want to be with you in your passion
22:29
that is the essence of compassion is
22:33

22:41
wish is that the world comes to know
22:43
what compassionate birth practices are
22:45

Rex
0:40
welcome hi Cristiano I’m so excited
0:43
today we’re here to talk about the seven
0:46
medal child star
0:48
which
0:50
um this is also these recordings are
0:52
going into our little booklet that we’re
0:54
creating
0:55
to discover your star code if you will
0:59
so maybe you can give us a description
1:01
of what is
1:04
um or what are the characteristics I
1:06
should say of a seven metal child star
1:10
okay the seven metal child star is
1:14
always seeking Harmony
1:17
is very important for them and like
1:21
disturbing the peace by introducing
1:24
something new or different it’s not
1:27
something that they are inclined to do
1:29
so they always want to be like in the
1:32
flow with whatever is happening around
1:34
them
1:35
so if the family are speaking about
1:39
sports
1:41
seven metal child star will go along
1:43
with you know being engaged with
1:46
chatting about sports if they’re
1:48
speaking about movies the seven metal
1:51
child goes along with you know being
1:55
curious or interested in in movies that
1:59
The Seven metal child really is
2:01
passionate about any of those things
2:03
maybe not
2:05
because the seven Metro child takes a
2:08
while to actually own what they really
2:12
like
2:13
and one of the ways because they always
2:15
are seeking harmony with who they are
2:20
and with you know family members
2:24
relatives friends in school they are
2:26
always or friends at work because the
2:28
child star doesn’t
2:31
um the aspect of our child star is
2:34
something that we carry throughout our
2:36
whole life so even
2:40
um in work or a career expression the
2:44
seven Metro child’s person who has who
2:46
carries a step in metal child star wants
2:50
to be in harmony
2:52
with their colleagues with
2:55
um with what’s happening in the
2:57
environment so that is very important
2:59
for seven metal child star personality
3:04
the other aspect too that is there for
3:07
them
3:09
especially when they may feel at losses
3:12
regards what’s next for me in my life
3:15
and I’m speaking about
3:17
um the personal being an adult
3:20
and
3:21
what can be of great assistance is like
3:24
going for a hike
3:26
going for a walk especially maybe by the
3:29
Sea where there is very good and where
3:33
they are just walking for quite a while
3:36
things will come to them because in that
3:39
harmony with the environment which would
3:42
happen the good quality of air
3:45
maybe it being by a lake or being by the
3:49
seaside or up in the hills
3:52
as they walk they are abandoned harmony
3:55
with that environment and there’s a
3:58
space within them that something happens
4:00
is like Ah that’s a good idea and they
4:04
will start owning something for
4:06
themselves as regards which will really
4:09
carry passion so this part is very
4:12
important for them especially if they
4:14
are like in a place of being stuck or
4:16
being
4:17
lost as regards things as regards the
4:20
child star like parents who may have a
4:22
child who is a seven metal child star
4:26
and like you know they’re doing whatever
4:29
they’re doing in school but they’re not
4:31
really enthusiastic about anything
4:35
for the parents to take the seven Metro
4:37
child star throw a long walk just
4:41
the mother of the father with the child
4:44
for maybe with you know for an hour
4:47
where at times the perspire a bit or
4:50
something like that something will
4:53
happen on that walk where the child was
4:55
initiate something and something can
4:59
then be emphasized and space be given to
5:03
it this is a this is a major key
5:06
because if the if the parent goes with
5:09
the other kids or with other friends
5:11
it’s not going to happen to that time of
5:15
of spaciousness of their kind of
5:18
connected connecting with themselves is
5:21
very important
5:22
so that is that is a key core quality of
5:27
the
5:28
um seven metal child star
5:31
um the seven metal charts star also has
5:35
a need to
5:37
be
5:39
um part of a group or part of the family
5:44
so and I’m going back to the situation
5:46
of a parent with a seven-metal child
5:49
star if at some stage
5:52
the parent has the correct the child the
5:55
seven mental child stuff some action or
5:58
something that they’re doing it is
6:01
important to make contact
6:04
with them physically in other words to
6:06
hold their hands or to hold your
6:08
shoulders and talk to them
6:11
um to suggest to the seven Metro child
6:14
star go to your room
6:17
that’s a big trauma that hurts them that
6:20
cuts them straight to the Core
6:22
and
6:24
um so they need to feel that there’s
6:27
always that relatedness that they have
6:30
with the appearance or with other family
6:32
members to sending them to the room as
6:35
regards uh a way of
6:39
quote unquote correcting them does not
6:41
work for the seven Metro child star this
6:44
is this is a key part there are some
6:46
children where that works it’s perfect
6:49
you know like for the nine
6:51
fire child start telling them go to
6:54
their room perfect I mean no question
6:56
about it because you’re taking them out
6:58
of the space of where they are and
7:00
you’re disconnecting them so that is
7:02
perfect but with the seven method that
7:03
is not the case
7:06
um what else is doing Rex because with
7:10
this seven metal how is it different for
7:13
a six metal and I and I’m curious for my
7:16
own because I’m a six medal child star
7:18
and my husband is a seven medal and I
7:22
know that he and I are both keen on
7:24
finding Harmony and you had even
7:26
mentioned to me once to put something
7:29
really nice smelling in the space when I
7:32
want to talk to him about something if I
7:35
want him to come in agreeance to it or
7:38
you know just be not at at Arms during
7:43
this discussion to have something nice
7:45
smelling in the atmosphere can help
7:48
soothe
7:49
are being this together but I’m just
7:52
curious what what is the difference
7:53
between the sixth middle and the Seven
7:56
for the the seven metal aspect of the
8:00
harmony as regards the environment and
8:03
things of beauty or fragrances for the
8:06
six Metro child star it’s very much
8:09
about no clutter
8:12
peace the aspect of space
8:15
and things being
8:18
um in a way like in it’s very then
8:21
so it has the quality of functionality
8:26
and it has a quality of
8:30
spaciousness whereby as you enter into
8:33
the room
8:34
for
8:36
a space that kind of works for six
8:39
method child star personality it’s just
8:42
like
8:43
ah
8:46
and that quality of ah
8:50
with a sense of Silence
8:54
is big for the six metal it creates a
8:57
big sort of sense of
9:00
coming home to themselves or feeling at
9:03
home in the space
9:05
whereas for the seven mental child star
9:08
you know there’s something
9:10
maybe it can be a beautiful painting
9:13
there can have some music playing none
9:16
of those things may not work but really
9:18
what
9:19
sort of encompasses or
9:24
grounds or being at home there’s that
9:28
distinction between the what I call the
9:31
six mental child sound which is like Zen
9:33
as Zen quality minimalist whereas the
9:37
seven metal child star it has aspects of
9:42
touches of beauty or color and different
9:45
things in this space
9:47
also spacious but in another quality of
9:51
an environment whereby there are it’s
9:54
not as minimalist
9:57
does that ring a bell for you oh it does
10:01
and but what I really caught on was your
10:05
depiction of how they want to be apart
10:09
of the family they want to be you know
10:12
included and then that brings about
10:15
Harmony
10:17
and I know for my husband you know and
10:20
like a lot of families they they’re in
10:24
today’s world they can be broken
10:27
um and in his particular case his mother
10:28
passed when he was about
10:31
six he was five and a half and she died
10:34
of cancer and
10:37
um so the the harmony of the space
10:40
obviously was shattered
10:42
and then his father remarried and they
10:46
just didn’t talk about his mother it was
10:50
regarded as the children just didn’t
10:53
they weren’t old enough to comprehend so
10:55
maybe we just don’t talk about it and
10:57
then you know everybody can kind of go
11:00
on but with the the creation of the new
11:04
family
11:06
I know he felt like an outcast
11:09
you know because they went the husband
11:11
and the wise his father and his
11:13
stepmother went on and had two other
11:14
children of their own and there was
11:17
you know different families that had to
11:19
be integrated
11:20
and him and his sister were not a
11:24
bloodline you know they were not Of The
11:26
Bloodline for the Stepmother’s family
11:30
and so it just created a rift and I know
11:33
that we we work with that constantly in
11:35
our house because I have a daughter he
11:38
has a son and we married
11:40
you know when we had already started
11:42
families before so now here we are in
11:44
this integration process trying to
11:47
harmonize the space
11:48
and it makes for some colorful activity
11:55
um okay the aspect about child stars
12:00
although speaking about it
12:02
how I have spoken about it
12:05
at times in some some areas of trauma
12:10
and
12:12
a trauma of course can be with you know
12:15
parents dying of course no question
12:17
about that as a child
12:19
and the child star
12:22
um then switches to the adult star in
12:25
other words they never sort of fulfill
12:29
the expression of their child star
12:33
this for sure I know happens in three
12:35
clear situations one parents dying in
12:39
other words mother and father died when
12:41
they were small
12:44
um immediately that will shift the child
12:46
whatever the child star is into the
12:48
adult Style
12:50
second if the the child is growing up
12:55
um in an area where there’s a war you
12:58
know bombs are going off people are
13:00
dying you know I mean
13:02
um a literally War space
13:05
regardless of the appearance they’re
13:07
alive or not the child the child star
13:10
becomes um switch to an adult star
13:12
Because the actual
13:15
um domain of survival the the the it
13:20
switches on something in in the person’s
13:22
being whereby I have to be responsible
13:25
for myself it’s not said to them but
13:27
this happens
13:28
and the third aspect is also
13:32
um like being
13:34
um
13:35
you know sentence orphanage or something
13:38
like that
13:39
although it orphans I’m not saying
13:42
orphans are not looked after but that
13:44
kind of identity about their child star
13:46
some parties another survival mechanism
13:48
that comes in so I’ve observed this
13:53
um goes on and the other aspect of is of
13:56
course child abuse
13:58
right
14:00
before but it’s our child star can
14:04
always be recovered for sure well
14:07
healing always wants to happen and
14:10
that’s why and you know our today’s talk
14:13
is just a short video to give people a
14:16
flavor a taste if you will of the seven
14:19
child star or seven medal child star
14:23
so that may be a good time for us to
14:25
transition into some things of virtuous
14:28
action I know you have two that you’re
14:30
going to share today that you can do to
14:33
come into relationship with your seven
14:37
medal child star and you already
14:39
described some like long walks
14:42
seeing if there’s good air and you know
14:46
coming into harmony with the space
14:49
um and then you mentioned music like how
14:52
you can have nice music that are smells
14:56
in the environment for our seven metal
14:58
and you also have a couple of
15:01
things you’re going to demonstrate today
15:02
I believe with with skin and and with
15:05
breathing
15:06
sure I will but before that to just
15:10
um also highlight
15:12
um in you know our chat here today
15:14
Cristiano is that in my ebook
15:19
um your emotions and the child star I
15:21
have a whole chapter where I speak about
15:24
you know when the child star when your
15:27
child star is traumatized and weighs
15:32
um there are different ways that I
15:33
mentioned
15:34
that people can do to recover their
15:38
child style or to to bring it back into
15:40
alignment that it’s part of their
15:43
experience rather than something that
15:46
they have not
15:48
um connected with because at the end of
15:50
the day our child star is where our
15:53
emotional needs are met
15:56
so this part of and that like that is
16:00
covered in my
16:02
um ebook
16:03
um your emotions and the Alchemy of time
16:07
so yeah well that’s the whole point of
16:10
all of this is that us getting to the
16:13
root of our emotions because this is the
16:15
seed of our soul certainly certainly
16:18
okay so as regards breathing there are
16:22
many
16:24
um approaches breathing is a lot now out
16:27
there on the internet many schools of
16:29
thought and all of those have their
16:31
place so what I’m about to share is not
16:34
like this is better than or anything
16:36
like that not at all
16:38
but it has a Simplicity about it
16:41
whereby even when you’re sitting in a
16:44
room which may not be you know that
16:47
wonderful you’re at the office
16:51
um you can still do
16:53
um there’s still something that you can
16:55
do as we God’s creating some a little
16:58
quality time for yourself
17:00
and bringing your thumb and putting it
17:03
into the palm of your hand like this
17:07
um closing your fingers not tight just
17:09
closing them and then just resting them
17:12
on your thighs
17:15
and when you do that
17:19
what will start occurring for you is
17:22
that your breathing starts happening
17:25
from a deeper space in your lungs
17:30
in fact I can feel it now as I do it I
17:33
feel a heavier than even in my diaphragm
17:36
yes I mean it’s all down into the belly
17:39
it just automatically happens and so
17:42
many too much of the stress that occurs
17:45
for us is that our breathing is very
17:47
shallow so this is like a very simple
17:53
method that you can do with your hands
17:57
you don’t need any equipment and it’s
18:00
just right there available with your
18:02
body at any time
18:05
and this creates a level of calmness in
18:09
your being and it has a nourishing
18:11
quality for your lungs
18:14
so it’s very supportive for you know the
18:18
seven metal child star but also
18:21
in the month of the seven Metro child
18:23
star you’ll find that doing this also
18:27
will will support whatever your child
18:30
star is will support a quality of
18:33
harmony with the month and the
18:36
environment because
18:37
all of these Elemental child stars are
18:42
really aspects
18:44
of the cosmos
18:47
we are we are functioning in that ear
18:50
it’s not a word that is often used these
18:53
days but we are part of that
18:56
and this opens that pathway for us to
19:01
get that support
19:02
biologically for ourselves so that’s one
19:07
um the second thing I love how you say
19:09
biologically because that’s what this
19:12
these rituals that’s what I love
19:14
engaging with the nine star key because
19:16
you’ve pointed out the biological
19:18
impacts and um I Heard a yogi instructor
19:22
tell me once that shallow breathing
19:25
sets shallow nerves and shallow thoughts
19:29
but deeper breathing
19:31
innervates deeper nerve connections and
19:35
a more grounded
19:37
nervous system that’s able to resonate
19:40
with anything in its environment right
19:43
it doesn’t get shattered so easily
19:46
and it leads to deeper thoughts
19:49
I just felt I just felt that like
19:52
biological to me just by holding my
19:56
yeah it’s it’s very it’s um it’s very
20:01
calming in fact I’m speaking a bit
20:03
slower than when I was speaking just you
20:06
know a few minutes ago so yes it is of
20:09
course it just so happens to be that
20:11
we’re recording this on March 28 2023
20:15
and we are in a seven medal child star
20:19
house
20:20
for a wood year so just so we’re I think
20:23
we’re amplifying
20:26
yeah sure the the second aspect that I
20:30
want to share
20:30
[Music]
20:31
um
20:32
um for the seven Metro child star
20:34
is one of
20:36
doing skin brushing there are many by
20:39
the way I’m not marketing this
20:41
particular brush there are many others
20:44
out there on the market but get a skin
20:46
brush and like really brush your whole
20:48
body you know
20:50
straight down you know be naked and just
20:53
brush your whole body
20:56
um wonderful way to start your day
20:59
um very beneficial for your skin
21:01
beneficial for your lungs very helpful
21:04
for your lymph system
21:06
and
21:08
um
21:09
yeah it’s
21:10
it’s a tonic
21:13
brush works like that because it almost
21:15
looks like you it’s a horse hair or what
21:18
kind of um it’s it’s it’s
21:21
um a vegetable fiber not awesome but
21:24
they’re ones which have holes here
21:27
there are many things there are others
21:29
that have um that is more sort of weaved
21:32
and they have old type so you know I
21:35
mean so what if you don’t have a brush
21:38
can you brush your own skin just with
21:39
your hands or
21:41
um no it’s better to to to
21:44
um to to then get like a washcloth and
21:48
and dip it in some water you can have it
21:52
you could work it two ways one you could
21:55
work it with cold water like really cold
21:57
water which is like very stimulating or
22:01
you could work it with warm water which
22:03
has a sense of kind of a more relaxing
22:05
quality so whichever one so you can but
22:10
um just with the
22:11
um
22:12
it’s okay but it’s not quite the same
22:15
the aspect of a of another material sort
22:19
of on the skin I’m rubbing it creates
22:22
another
22:24
um
22:25
um relatedness
22:27
because this is already part of you
22:30
whereas bring something else it sort of
22:32
you know opens up the sense of the
22:35
nerves to relate to a bigger aspect of
22:38
life so yeah okay
22:41
wow well that’s very helpful tips and I
22:44
know we like to call these tips rituals
22:47
very practical rituals that you can
22:50

[Music]
0:39
for inviting me here to chat about the
0:44
for wood
0:46
star goddess
0:48
which this year
0:50
the dominant feature in the year
0:54
and the four wood star is very much like
0:59
the force of wind
1:02
it’s the messenger it brings messages
1:06
um I know many
1:08
people in the west when they hear about
1:10
Messengers they immediately think about
1:13
Mercury which is an aspect of this but
1:16
the Forward star encompasses much more
1:19
than quote unquote the aspect of the
1:22
planet Mercury
1:25
um because we’re dealing with uh energy
1:29
that is
1:30
ever present Beyond thing aspects of of
1:34
mercury which
1:36
the whole area of wind wind in a lot of
1:40
the Asian traditions of health is viewed
1:44
as a key part of the whole Foundation of
1:48
our bodies
1:50
the Indians speak about it as Prana the
1:53
Chinese speak about it as Chi the
1:56
Japanese is key so these are all like um
1:59
qualities of energy
2:01
for the person who carries the Forward
2:06
star be it as an adult well let me let
2:10
me focus with the child stuff so the a
2:13
person who has a forward child star is
2:16
very much a communicator
2:19
and the sound of the voice of the
2:22
appearance of teachers or friends this
2:26
is the key aspect of where the
2:31
have a sense of opening to someone or
2:34
where they sort of shut down their
2:36
listening because the tone of The Voice
2:40
does not create a good experience in
2:44
their being
2:45
so this is a quality with the four wood
2:48
child star
2:50
and teachers parents Guardians in
2:55
dealing with a child who carries a
2:58
forward child start this is very
3:00
important
3:01
because they can just switch off from
3:04
whatever especially in school where the
3:06
teacher talks to them in a way that is
3:09
Gruff or rough it’s like I don’t like
3:12
that subject I don’t want to do that
3:14
subject and it all has to do with you
3:16
know how the forward child star individ
3:19
you know child is being treated
3:22
anyhow so there’s that aspect generally
3:25
though the the
3:27
influence of like
3:31
um
3:32
I like to use example like a leaf and
3:34
the wind
3:35
and so it’s like the communication
3:38
whatever the stimulus is that that
3:40
surrounds them that comes to them be it
3:44
text message be it
3:47
um somebody speaking to them be it a
3:49
phone call or be it just the environment
3:53
because our environment does speak to us
3:56
it’s like it touches the leaf under Leaf
3:58
immediately moves the leaf doesn’t kind
4:01
of reflect it just goes with the wind to
4:04
the forward
4:05
both on the adult or under child star
4:08
this aspect is the essential part of
4:11
their personality
4:14
the other thing around that is like when
4:16
we look in the world as regards
4:18
personalities Global icons
4:25
who is the best-selling author in the
4:28
world you know I think her books
4:31
somewhere around a billion she’s sold
4:34
her books and translated in all these
4:35
different languages she carries a
4:38
forward child star
4:40
William Shakespeare his adult star is
4:44
for wood
4:47
um in Modern Life the voices of Frank
4:50
Sinatra Aretha Franklin
4:53
Marlon Brando Billy Holiday they are all
4:57
forward adult star individuals and if we
5:01
look at the in the world of modern music
5:04
those formed and and media those four
5:08
names stand out I mean you know even
5:10
people may not remember the film that
5:13
Brando acted in but they still remember
5:15
his voice and um so this is very much
5:19
saying Sinatra I mean you know
5:22
um I you know so
5:24
um those are some individuals
5:27
um
5:28
you know with that forward
5:31
um star as a dominant feature
5:34
as regards um
5:36
the
5:38
people who have fit as a child star
5:42
Jane Fonda
5:45
massive Communicator major source of
5:48
influence in the American culture with
5:51
views with the Vietnam war with Fitness
5:54
with whatever still around
5:56
um Communicator you know incredible
5:59
Communicator Johann Sebastian Bach’s
6:02
music he’s a forward child star and that
6:06
forward child start just that music you
6:09
know for children especially with
6:11
learning or whatever
6:14
very supportive
6:16
um
6:17
so you have nothing cool forward just uh
6:21
Marlene Dietrich for which I’ll star
6:24
Liza Minnelli forward child star Johnny
6:27
Mathis Shuffle with child star Gandhi
6:31
Mahatma Gandhi forward child star Greta
6:35
Garbo forward child star Julie Andrews
6:40
if I’m not mistaken
6:43
um she’s still around but I think in the
6:46
last few years she had some operation
6:47
with her throat and I think she can no
6:50
longer sing
6:51
which is you know that’s kind of quite
6:54
tragic um
6:56
the jazz musician Paul train Four which
7:00
has done anyways so I think the example
7:03
of these people who
7:05
you know once they are in their Zone
7:08
quote unquote with whatever they’re
7:09
doing they touch they touch us globally
7:13
um this is just how that is
7:15
wow Rexes
7:17
thank you for sharing
7:19
my pleasure my pleasure well and I know
7:22
we’re we are we’re putting these
7:23
segments together for our
7:26
our book the child star code
7:29
so this is perfect and I know that part
7:31
of the book is to share elements for
7:33
those who are for wood child star or
7:36
even even if you’re a four wood adult
7:39
star these are
7:40
next bit of our segment is going to be
7:43
how you can support yourself
7:46
with a ritual
7:48
with something that you can engage in
7:50
that’s very simple
7:52
um practical but yet
7:55
transcends transmutes the space
8:00
sure that you’re in so I’m excited I
8:02
can’t wait to see what you have in store
8:03
for us
8:05
sure Cristiano um so okay with the um
8:09
some basic
8:12
um suggestions around before would
8:16
um stop beta Delta child star
8:19
and also just generally for all of us
8:21
this particular year
8:24
um the organ that before would
8:27
star goddess
8:29
has the core connection with is the
8:32
gallbladder
8:33
so
8:35
whatever supports the gallbladder’s
8:38
function will create an alignment or a
8:42
sense of harmony with the energetic
8:45
quality of this particular year which is
8:48
governed by the Forward star goddess
8:53
um so avoiding late night means heavy
8:55
late night meals
8:57
um
8:58
you know the intake of
9:02
um of animal food especially late at
9:05
night is not really suggested it is
9:07
better you know if that is there to have
9:10
it more at lunch time or in the morning
9:14
um
9:14
also like starting your morning with
9:18
some warm water with you know half a
9:20
lemon squeezed into it this can also be
9:23
supportive to that I’m not saying to do
9:25
that every morning but you know it can
9:27
be something supportive especially
9:30
if you know your digestive system is not
9:34
feeling that great when you wake in the
9:36
morning
9:37
um
9:39
but there are also signs of like things
9:43
are creating challenges for you
9:46
energetically in your system
9:49
grinding your teeth at night
9:52
that is a clear indication that your
9:55
relationship with the four would
9:58
star goddess is not a happy one at the
10:00
moment
10:03
um a lot of tension in your jaw this
10:06
again is also like all indicating like
10:10
um the four wood star goddess you’re not
10:12
you’re not in a harmonious dance with
10:15
who
10:17
um tight hips like you know that your
10:19
hips are very tight and feel very
10:21
blocked and locked again that that’s
10:24
another sign of
10:27
um issues
10:29
with lack of good communication with the
10:33
four would
10:34
star goddess so a simple ritual
10:39
um aspects and there are two parts to it
10:42
one is to
10:45
massage your jaw
10:47
so
10:49
but
10:51
in seeing the two aspects there’s
10:53
another aspect to it okay which
10:57
creates a level of amplification
11:01
the space in which you are doing it in
11:06
at some level for you to acknowledge
11:09
that space
11:11
now I know that’s a strange
11:15
sentence to to put it that way
11:18
but to simplify what I mean it’s like if
11:21
this space is very entirety
11:24
tidy it a bit I’m not telling you to get
11:26
into a whole cleaning operation but you
11:29
know
11:30
or
11:32
um if there’s something that is very
11:33
special for you that you have a big
11:36
connection with
11:38
um you could you know bring it into the
11:40
space and place it wherever that you
11:43
like to place it
11:45
um
11:46
so that immediately engages space
11:50
of where you’re doing it
11:53
so you’re starting to take it out of the
11:56
mundane Zone into a more
12:01
Cosmic Dimension and I’m not getting
12:04
into being a space cadet when I say that
12:06
I’m just really being very practical you
12:10
know people who are not even into any of
12:12
the you know esoteric types of things
12:14
they they can immediately feel there’s
12:17
something different in the space
12:19
that takes whatever then you do as the
12:22
ritual
12:23
into opening other pathways
12:27
of
12:29
um a deeper healing process a deeper
12:33
harmonizing quality
12:35
but doing it doing what I’m about to
12:38
show anyhow if you’re doing it
12:41
not you know acknowledging that you’ll
12:44
still get benefits but that’s another
12:46
level of um
12:48
you know really doing it from the heart
12:50
rather than from the head
12:53
doing it from the head izuki but doing
12:55
it from the heart we just amplifies it
12:57
when we start you know acknowledging the
13:00
space where we’re doing it so that
13:03
having been said
13:06
um having a sense of softness in the
13:08
arches of your feet so your feet are on
13:10
the ground
13:12
um you know both of them separate
13:15
a sense of letting go at the back of
13:18
your navel just all in your imagination
13:21
no willpower
13:25
and a sense of relaxed shoulders
13:29
softness in the palm of your hands
13:33
and then just start gently
13:36
to massage your jaw
13:39
you could open your mouth
13:42
slightly just have it a bitter jar
13:47
I’m giving a jaw a fairly firm rub but
13:51
not hard you know you’re not fighting
13:54
with your jaw just
13:58
easing out any tension there
14:04
allowing the softness and the arches of
14:08
your feet to be present
14:10
and that sense of spaciousness at the
14:13
back of your neighbor to also be present
14:17
then I’m going to just go out for what a
14:20
minute as I do it so you know in that
14:23
aspect of Silence there’s also something
14:26
else that kind of
14:28
shifts moves
14:36
ah okay
14:38
then the second aspect about it
14:41
is in the region of your temple
14:45
so when you come like you come to your
14:48
eyes corner of your eyes and you come
14:50
and you move your your middle finger
14:53
back and you sort of come into an area
14:55
in your temple which is like a bit
14:59
like if you kind of just came into a
15:01
Shallow Lake
15:03
so that is a this is a mama Point called
15:07
Shankar
15:09
um this is from The Vedic system and
15:12
this has a big influence on the
15:14
gallbladder on the liver and also on
15:17
your emotional state so if at times you
15:21
know you angry upset whatever or you
15:25
have many swings and your emotions this
15:28
point can be very supportive
15:31
um so again I’ll do it and I’ll allow my
15:36
job to be a bitter jar
15:39
as I do it
15:44
relax shoulders
15:49
softness in the arches of the feet
15:54
spaciousness at the back of your knee
16:00
yeah I I think we’ll see the Rhythm in
16:03
my voice is shifted just with this one
16:09
and then have a sense of giving thanks
16:11
for that
16:13
and yes those are two steps of a ritual
16:18
with the Forward star goddess
16:25
it’s a bit of magic
16:28
what’s that Christiana
16:30
it feels like a bit of magic in my space
16:32
ah okay
16:34
that’s just wonderful I could take that
16:37
with me all day
16:39
yeah your voice is sounds different to
16:42
also
16:43
yes well just when you
16:46
asked us to engage with the space
16:49
of course I’ve some of our listeners may
16:52
never have done that but you use the
16:55
word taking the mundane into the cosmic
16:57
realm and you know I’ve practiced quite
17:01
a lot with engaging space
17:04
and just you saying that it was like an
17:06
immediate
17:08
like my perceptual feel just kind of
17:10
widened
17:11
and I you know could feel further than
17:14
outside of my head outside of my body
17:17
and yes that shift from the mundane and
17:20
amplifying this ritual
17:23
into the cosmic realm that’s hence why I
17:26
feel a little bit of magic
17:28
uh-huh okay it feels nice thank you yeah
17:30
and the thing about it Christiana it’s
17:33
it’s um
17:35
it’s that simple and it’s about just
17:39
cultivating a relatedness about having
17:42
that type of communication which is not
17:44
part of our educational system you know
17:47
none of that is
17:49
you know it’s always this I’m not
17:51
dismissing that I mean you know the
17:53
focus is get that right okay but there’s
17:56
another part too which is you know this
17:59
stuff
18:02
and that’s why we’re here to like engage
18:05
with this stuff the elements right the
18:09
elements that make up this whole Space
18:11
this whole universe that’s that’s why I
18:13
so adore astrology and this particularly
18:17
the nine star key how it engages not
18:21
only this
18:22
correlates with the elements but those
18:25
elements
18:26
move into your body and I the
18:29
gallbladder is the masculine to the
18:31
feminine of the liver yes
18:34
um there are many ways I’ve heard it
18:37
said many ways but the gallbladder on
18:39
the liver you know they have a
18:40
correlation and
18:43
um you know the liver
18:45
do this with the blood and the
18:47
gallbladder deals with bile and the
18:49
digestion and all of that
18:52
um you know it’s on the right side and
18:55
you know the whole thing with the hip
18:58
and all with the side of the body and
19:01
because the Meridian runs all up all
19:03
along the side so in a way
19:07
um which is really about you know
19:10
in our life we really about you know
19:13
we’re looking this way the front and we
19:15
are aware that there’s a back or Loop we
19:17
are not conscious of it but
19:21
I decide it’s really like
19:24
what starts to come into the
19:27
conversation is the decision
19:30
and if one has a practice be it a dancer
19:33
be it martial arts be it a sports person
19:38
you would have cultivated a way
19:42
um with your body to interact with those
19:44
changes and so it’s a it’s an
19:47
instinctive decision that you you
19:50
that then just happens
19:53
um
19:54
but in everyday life for most of us this
19:56
side and that side it’s like you know
20:00
should I or should I you know it’s
20:03
coming indecisive and the gallbladder is
20:06
involved with this aspect and but when
20:08
the gallbladder is Happy the digestive
20:11
system is also happy right and and your
20:14
brain function is is is much easier
20:17
because
20:18
yeah to speak about the Five Element
20:20
system
20:21
you know gallbladder is part of the wood
20:24
energetic system in the body with spring
20:27
and wood governs earth wood digs into
20:30
the Earth so you know the spleen on the
20:33
stomach they have a control over it
20:35
so when the that is happening and then
20:38
you’re thinking is clearer
20:42
um so anyway you know just
20:44
this is just sort of um yeah very simple
20:47
ways of looking at things rather than
20:49
getting
20:51
um
20:51
you know into
20:55
all you know fine details of course
20:57
there are fine details with all kinds of
20:59
things with you know what’s in blood
21:01
bilirubin and this and that and the
21:03
other
21:04
and of course you know it’s good to know
21:06
all those things but also it’s just good
21:07
to have a kind of overview and a simple
21:09
way of engaging with it it was well
21:13

I didn’t mention
22:43
as regards to what is like a virtuous
22:46
action that somebody who carries like
22:49
the four wood child star what is a
22:53
virtuous action that they can do
22:55
that in a way
22:58
um develops a deeper relatedness or

opens up more Pathways in with the

relationship

23:09
um star goddess

whatever is your passion in life write

23:27
um doing a journal it’s not like
23:29
necessarily every day but in some

periods this
23:33
this would all be virtuous actions that
23:37
will facilitate
23:38
are easier and smoother relatedness with
23:42

As our experience of the world becomes more mediated by technology, it seems that our connection to the earth and the natural elements lessons. Today, Rex and I are hear to represent the Orinoco Flows Community, a space to support women and birth. We are here to perform a ritual with the water element to help mothers-to-be, their partners, and birth professionals rediscover the transformative feminine energy at the heart of the birthing process, and truly the transformative energy that comes when we mark time and space using the elements and ritual. The Orinoco Flows online Community creates opportunities to mark time, to gather, celebrate and re-connect to the sacredness of all things. Times of transitions are by their nature a matriarchal domain. The name Orinoco Flows points to how all our paths meet as we appreciate how we have all been born from water. Water embraced us for those 9 months, and continues to support us with its presence.
