Description

I am very pleased to present our latest offering, a guided journey followed by an original song, called A Place For You Here. My colleague, Cathy Chapman, PhD. offers the guided journey, which is followed by a new song that I wrote, and sing with my husband, Richard. The total experience is designed to take you through a gentle, yet powerful re-creation of the beginning of your life.  

Although most of us don’t consciously recall our conception, gestation and birth, they can have a profound effect on our experience of life.  Whatever your experience may have been, Cathy takes you through a gentle, yet powerful journey to help you re-create the foundations of your life as deeply secure and filled with love.  At the end of this journey, my husband, Richard, and I embrace you with an affirming song of welcome to the world.

The intent of the CD is to offer you a deeply healing and transformative experience, a journey that you can take again and again, with far reaching benefits in your life.

As someone who had a very difficult time at the beginning of my own life, coming close to death within the first few weeks after my birth, this CD has special meaning for me. I have been deeply moved and supported by Cathy’s guided journey. Richard and I feel honored and grateful to be able to offer the song that we hope will deepen and enrich the process for you.

For more detail on what this CD may offer you, here is a quote from the liner notes that accompany the CD:

“Just as we absorb our parents’ emotions when we are children, so do we absorb emotions from our mother and the surrounding environment from the moment of our conception through our birth. These initial imprints can have lasting effects. Many core issues like low self-esteem, persistent fears or sadness, can have their roots in the very beginning of our lives.

"Many of us had less than optimal experiences from conception through birth. Some of us were unwanted, and we felt that. Some of us had mothers who were overwhelmed, ambivalent, ill or grieving while we were growing inside them. Some of us were gestating during times of war, or crisis in the family that deeply impacted us as we were beginning our lives.

"Whatever your experience may have been, if it was less than deeply supportive and nourishing for you, this journey will give you the opportunity to re-live these foundational experiences as filled with love, absolute support, and a heartfelt and joyous welcome into this world.”
