Book Review: A Warm Companion & Gentle Counsel during Pregnancy
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend Queen Jin's Handbook of Pregnancy to any thoughtful mother (and would-be parents) who value the "emotional intelligence" of the miracles that are babies. The author Jeremy Seligson will lead you on an unpressured tour of personal discovery and illuminating insights into Asian thinking about procreation, pregnancy and the wider circle of natural energies around us. It is much more than a technical manual of pregnancy and child birth. The Handbook provides information about Chinese and other Asian traditions of birth dreams, child birth and "embryonic education" we never hear about in the West. Modern mothers need to slow down and live with this volume. Please allow yourselves to relax and open to the "new" knowledge that Queen Jin provides. The author has assimilated this very old wisdom about conception, communication with life in the womb and the birth process through his own person during years of marriage and family life in East Asia. The chapters and anecdotes are a series of spiritual offerings that add up to wise and affable guidebook on how to commune more sensitively with our unborn children to whom we owe all the love we can muster.
Summary of Queen Jin's Hand Book of Pregnancy
This practical manual draws on the teachings of Queen Tae Jin in 12th-century B.C. China. Women in China, Vietnam, Japan, and Korea still follow these rules of pregnancy to benefit the physical health, emotional stability, and spiritual nature of their child while in the womb. This handbook brings together the author's own experiences as a parent in Korea as well as over 20 years of reflection on the various ways of bearing healthy children in Asian societies. The book is divided into three main sections: Preparing Your Seed, Cultivating Your Flower, and Harvesting Your Fruit. Topics covered include exercise and diet, midwifery, after-birth care, and the cultivation of mind and heart through submerging oneself in coming motherhood, poetry, and the classics. The Association for Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health has said that Queen Jin's Handbook of Pregnancy could do a lot to spiritualize the American way of birth.General Books
