(Thanks to Dr. J. Shah of the University of Washington’s Department of Internal Medicine for finding this fascinating resource).
Exiled from their home in “the land of snows,” the Tibetan people - under the leadership of the very popular Dalai Lama - have been sharing more and more of their unique culture with the rest of the world, to the world’s great benefit. This article exploring the wisdom of Tibetan childbirth practice is based on Anne Hubbell Maiden and Edie Farwell’s forthcoming book Tibetan Birth Wisdom. Anne is a psychotherapist and social psychologist, and a founder of both the Friends of Children and Parents and of the Conscious Birthing Circle in San Francisco. Edie is a social and cultural anthropologist who founded The Development Collaborative and currently acts as Liaison Director for the Association for Progressive Communications.
