It's been a long time coming, a very long time. I am a midwife and an educator with a steady devotion to childbirth.

Meditation methods in Calm Birth opens up a vista of hope, empowerment, inner wisdom, and confidence to trust the ability to birth naturally. Families' stories gracefully illuminate how Calm Birth ignites transformational experience in life, pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I hope you read this book." Wendy Anne McCarty, Ph.D., R.N. Author, Welcoming Consciousness (2005); Founding Chair, Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology Program, Santa Barbara Graduate Institute. "Calm Birth, A new Method for Conscious Childbirth by Robert Bruce Newman, successfully bridges ancient feminine healing wisdom and meditation to contemporary birth practices. With a broad overview of the history of birth, and deep personal knowledge of meditation, the author presents practical methods which have the power to redefine birth from a "medical problem" to a natural human process that blesses life itself. With the possibility of safe and calm birth, bonding and trust occur easily and naturally and spread to family, community, and beyond. This book is a must for anyone interested in childbirth." Barbara Findeisen, M.F.T., President, the Association of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH).
This book is a complement to the Calm Birth book. It offers a vision of the emerging new paradigm of medicine, including a major chapter on childbirth medicine which is focused on the Calm Birth postnatal method. "The true calculus of healing makes conventional approaches look like five-fingered arithmetic. CALM HEALING is a marvellous description of the healing powers that are freely available -- here, now, everywhere." ----Larry Dossey, MD Author: Healing Words; Reinventing Medicine; The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things "We have known for over 30 years that eighty-five percent of illnesses are the result of unhealthy behavior. Modern medicine is essential about 15% of the time and 85% of the time is a stop-gap attempt to salvage the barn after the horse has escaped and the barn is burning. CALM HEALING offers Real Medicine for the 21st century." C. Norman Shealy, MD, PhD Founding President, American Holistic Medical Association. Author: The Creation of Health; Miracles do Happen; Life Beyond 100 / Secrets of the Fountain of Youth "Calm Healing offers extraordinary and essential insight into wholeness and healing. To read Calm Healing is to experience the essential light and healing that are available to all of us right now, at this very mement. So helpful. Such a relief." ----Christiane Northrup, MD Author, Mother-Daughter Wisdom and Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom " Newman and Miller have written a virtual bible of "calm healing", a primer for a new medicine. Not only have they explored it's history and science, but they have created actual protocols and prayers - word by word incantations. Thus the book is not only an account of possibility. It is the manual, the starting point for practice. What we have here is a rare thing: phonemes that are things, statements that breathe medicines." Richard Grossinger, PhD Author of Planet Medicine, Embryogenesis; Galaxies, Embryos, and Sentient Beings
