" A propos of this, at a recent normal birth conference in New
Zealand,
Karen Guilliand presented the following quote which I think provides
significant food for thought in this area:
There are only two feelings: Love and fear. There are only two
languages: Love and fear. There are only two activities: Love and
fear.
There are only two motives, two procedures, two frameworks, two
results.
Love and fear.
Michael Leunig's prayers from A Common Prayer"
and love and fear are the oxytocins and catecholamines and we know what
they do to brain and body physiology and subsequent behaviour for all
stakeholders in the birthing arena....
Great discussion,
warmly, Carolyn

" Good motto to live by:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other,
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO HOO - What
a Ride".
