- W281924076 abstract "Sharing Space ABSTRACT: Two great systems of human development, Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism and Toltec lineages of Mexico, offer inspiring models of human body, with remarkable implications for childbirth today. Shifts in medical paradigm encourage development of mind/body and energy/body models for OB practice. Humane childbirth preparation is defined, baby friendly, and provides new potential for bonding and personal development in childbirth process. KEY WORDS: childbirth potential; childbirth preparation; humane practice; energy body; mind/body; awareness-based energy breathing; medical paradigm shift; 3 eras of medicine; pain and anxiety management; natural superiority of women INTRODUCTION By new model I mean use of two existing models of human body applied to childbirth for first time. One model comes from Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist lineages and other comes from Toltec lineages of Mexico. 1970-71 was time of early recognition in West of two great lines of knowledge. Revered meditation masters and doctors of Vajrayana Buddhism began to establish base in America. And, by 1971, Carlos Castaneda had published second of his remarkable books on Toltec lineages of Mexico, dramatically introducing energy body to Western science (Castaneda, 1968; 1971). It was becoming clear to people in West that two lineages from ancient wisdom were still alive and well, carrying great knowledge and potentially vital resources for our dangerous age. APPLICATION OF THIS ANCIENT WISDOM TO CHILDBIRTH By 1990 Buddhist meditation centers coast to coast were teaching meditation based on profound working knowledge of energy body, deep knowledge of inseparable energy body and physical body. The energy body model being presented was far more defined than existing Western models of energy body (Heindel, M., 1909; Bailey, A., 1953). The Buddhist model was based on meditation science proven for more than a thousand years, with great supportive literature, and applied as energy body practice (Chang, 1958; Gyatso, 1982). By 1990 Carlos Castaneda had published a series of major books revealing knowledge and practices of Toltec lineages of Mexico, and detailed description of nature and function of energy body was spectacular (Castaneda, 1968; 1971; 1974; 1977; 1984; 1998). The Toltec seers have long demonstrated insight into nature of luminous human energy body. They have stated that women have a superior potential for knowledge, both in physical body and in energy body. The Toltec seers understand that women are well designed to be seers. The Nagual Don Juan Matus told Carlos Castaneda, on various occasions, that one way that women had a distinct advantage with knowledge and power was that, in physical body, they had a womb and ovaries that were organs of knowledge and were able to store power. He called those physical organs the epicenter of evolution... Women, because they have a womb, are so versatile, so individualistic in their ability to see energy directly that this accomplishment, which should be a triumph of human spirit, is taken for granted. (Castaneda, 1998, p. 71). In energy body design, women also have distinct advantages in becoming seers. With regard to what this may mean for childbirth methodology, at least, it is an immediately available model of marvelous potential of woman and it should bring deep respect for woman's body and potential. That respect is a good basis for new childbirth methodology. The model of human body and potential as presented in Vajrayana tradition when applied to childbirth has an immediately dynamic feature. The energy body, as known and worked with in Buddhist yoga, has a luminous life vase (tse bum) in navel center, virtually where womb is in physical body. It is located at base of central energy channel. …" @default.
