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.”
