I first encountered Birth Into Being in Goa, and have since completed the Apprenticeship Course with Elena Tonetti in London in 2010.
Elena believes that the way we arrive into this world defines our personality. It shapes our capacity for love, compassion and intimacy. The quality of our life can be defined by the amount of love received, while still in our mother’s womb!
At the next level, our life is defined by the quality of our birth itself. There is enough proof that birth trauma permeates beyond that moment going into our childhood and adult lives and resulting in problems like addictions, low self-esteem, short attention span and a number of physical health problems.
On the other hand, babies who are conceived and born in love, display an amazing degree of intelligence, kindness, common sense and good health.
The above phenomenon occurs because of something called limbic imprinting. During gestation, birth and early childhood, the limbic system registers all of our sensations and feelings, without translating it into the language of cortex, simply because it’s not developed yet. That memory lives in the body throughout the rest of our life whether we know of it or not.
Birth Into Being allows us to re-enact birth processes, and works to change limbic imprinting. It removes blockages that prevent us from feeling fully happy and content, or correcting attitudes and tendencies that are proving detrimental to our wellbeing. The result? A happier, healthier, you!
