Using exercises and techniques developed over ten years of teaching a popular series of workshops at the Chopra Center for Well Being, Dr Deepak Chopra shows readers how to see parenthood from a very different perspective. MAGICAL BEGINNINGS, ENCHANTED LIVES uses meditation, yoga, dietary guidelines, natural remedies, visualization, journaling and drawing to enhance the experience of pregnancy and birth for both parents and baby. Also included are practical strategies to prepare the parents for labour and delivery, caring for the new-born child and enjoying parenthood. By applying established techniques from Deepak Chopra’s internationally famous mind/body approach to the experience of pregnancy, childbirth and early infancy, MAGICAL BEGGINNINGS, ENCHANTED LIVES adds previously unexplored dimensions of physical health, joy and insight to elevate one of life’s primal experiences to the realm of the miraculous.
