Baby Week!

smiling babeHello, well I have been off in the Land of 100 AWESOME people having adventures.  We have been joyfully having life altering conversations about life, doing some gorgeous art and trying our best to focus on everything we DO want in our lives.  In between sessions I do continue to see patients, some established and some new.  With this in mind I wanted to let everyone know that I am going to have a babe check in on August 7 and 8th.  If you would like me to lay my eyes on your baby – and I do love to see the babes every few months – then please go onto my booking system on my website – http://www.pipermartin.com and book yourself in for an hour.  Nothing like setting up a couple of days of BLISS well in advance! Hope to see all those brilliant babies in August.

For anyone wondering – I am hosting two Red Tent (mamma and baby) groups – on Tuesdays 12-2, the other Wednesdays 12-2.  If you are interested please let me know, they are popular groups, everyone is eager to find stimulating ways to consider motherhood and it has been fantastic working with women and their children in this realm.

100 AWESOME People… the beginning

ImageI have been pretty consumed with putting into motion the nine incredible groups that have gathered.  We have all met once and have begun our second round and I can only speak for myself when I reflect on what has rippled out from those provoking and stimulating meetings.  

  • a desire to remember who we really are – who we know ourselves to be, either from childhood memories or parts of ourselves that feel just right.  Acknowledging that awareness out loud is bringing more solidity to it and also a level of accountability because once you know something and admit it out loud AND it is witnessed – you can never go back.
  • understanding that we have come together in perfect, fitting, matching groups.  I love watching people have the conversations that they have been longing for.
  • momentum !! a  huge reason why working in a group is so wonderful, the collective energy of working with a group of like minded people is exciting, fresh and inspiring.  

I have begun the registrations for the new session which begins in April, if you are interested please contact me early as I am anticipating many, many people becoming addicted to these gatherings and open spots may be hard to come by.

Suppression – how it plays out mentally, emotionally and physically…

do more of what makes you happy

 

Suppression is a big concept in homeopathic medicine.  Physically homeopaths believe that the body is a flow system and discharging is part of the way in which our bodies maintain our health.

North American society is across the board against flow!

No mucus, no sweat, no skin rashes, no fever, no dandruff, no diarrhea,no menstrual cycle, no phlegm….. we suppress it all.  When we choose to do this,  the action our body is attempting is thwarted.   The misdirected force can end up landing on a deeper system.  For example,one of  the most common of these suppression paths would be babies with eczema.  Once the eczema has been routinely suppressed with cortisone ointments,  children develop asthma and respiratory difficulties   The suppression of expression on the skin goes to the next organ of respiration which are the lungs.

Mentally/emotionally suppression is equally dynamic.  Holding yourself back because you feel responsible for how everyone else is feeling, allowing fear to override your own intuitive sense, trying to please people who you perceive have authority over you – these are some of the reasons people try to hold themselves back and in.  My favorite way to help people challenge these beliefs and actions is to ask them if they would be willing to give their children similar advice.  Would you advise your child to just put themselves last, shove down their feelings and be quiet, stay small?

When you suppress your natural desires, joy and curiosity about life you harm yourself.  Allowing yourself the freedom to acknowledge and pursue what makes you happy will change everything.  It frees up your body, it charges your soul with fresh vitality.

Pay attention - create the Birth you imagine for yourself!

So do you set yourself freeeeee? A homeopathic remedy will prompt you to move towards these two questions:

~ What will make me feel most healthy?

~ What will create a higher level of happiness?

After choosing to engage with homeopathy,  the things you were previously suppressing will be uncorked, you will no longer feel good holding in, holding back or trying to distract yourself from how you feel.  The groups (100 AWESOME PEOPLE!) I am now offering in my practice are a way of identifying how you may be suppressing and focusing on the forward motion.  Celebrating it, naming it, sharing it and calling it on.  If you are interested in doing this level of joyful work please check out my website (www.pipermartin.com) and contact me directly to be placed in a group.

warmly,

Piper

Quote

Is it possible to be the visionary and the actionary of your own life? Not only possible, it’s the way most of you intended it to be. It’s the best of all worlds. What can be more exhilarating than to find a dream from the contrast, to fixate on the dream and let it give you pleasure as it grows, and then to watch Law of Attraction bring it into manifestation while you help with your action? Does it get any better than that? You didn’t think so as you made the decision to come forth into these physical bodies. You said, “This is the best time in all eternity for a Creator to Create.”

Is it possible …

Birth and Body Memory

Our bodies hold information and release it to us in the perfect way.  During birth there seem to be certain points in which our bodies will either move ahead or wait for us to understand the piece of information it is holding.

What if you could open up this dialogue and reassure your body as it hesitates and wonders? Remedies are the bridge between you and your body.

Induction is about fear.  When I do a homeopathic induction I am inquiring about fear.  This is the block.  The remedy merely acts to keep you present, allow you to grow bigger then your fear and move you forward.  Each remedy has its own specific fear.  When I speak to someone about an induction I am asking all the details about the fear, how it came about, where it has popped up most strongly etc.  This fear is big enough to stop or stall labour.  This is the missing element of medicine.  We can numb out pain but there is nothing to address fear during labour, postpartum or pregnancy.  This fear is translated to our babies.  Is it not important to consider?

oh yeah

I am creating a Whole NEW way to practice Homeopathy.

Starting February 1/2013 and running through until February 1/2014 I will ONLY be offering group experiences.  Here are what some of the group members have had to say about their experiences:

There’s something magic about exploding the deep and perhaps shame ridden illusion of being alone. That’s what happens in group. You connect with people’s realness which invariably requires your realness, and through that shared authenticity there is intimacy and trust…
Its provocative to engage in this level of conversation. It’s amazing that there is an immediate community based on your highest self instead of all the other roles you play in life. That’s the kicker.

These groups will meet twice monthly,  finding ways to integrate quantum physics principles into our every day lives.

At first I imagined that the group sessions would be awkward and uncomfortable.  I worried that my desire to dig deeper and explore the meaning of my life would stagnate because I would feel compelled to agree with others in the group or, that I would get side-tracked into delving into their questions more than my own.  Instead, our weekly get-togethers have been inspirational and I feel as though I am growing emotionally and spiritually at a faster rate than ever before. The knowledge gained is so empowering and joyful! The relaxed, all-accepting atmosphere is so conducive to soul-searching and it is a refreshing change to the usual environments we find ourselves in.  I would highly recommend Cosmic Keys  group to anyone wondering about the bigger picture and eager to piece together the amazing puzzle of who they really are and why they are here.  

You may register for the groups on my website -www.pipermartin.com –  they are offered six times weekly and all are welcome.  You do not need to have been a previous patient to join.

There are a few groups that have a special focus, one is a version of Red Tent for Pregnant and new mothers , another is a youth oriented group with most members falling between 17-24 and lastly a parenting group – how to approach parenting from a Quantum Physics perspective.

Sometimes you know what you want and where you want to be but are just stalled. Using the collective energy of this group my thoughts have become my reality. Having others around who are consciously creating held the space for me to see my own limitless potential        Thank you to each of you and to piper for being our guide in this. 

I am so excited to begin this new, dynamic manner of working with my patients.  The basis of the groups is to find ways to focus on things that please you, delight you, bring you joy and ultimately allow you to access every dream you have ever held.  This is how homeopathy works, reminding you of who you are and how to be the healthiest, happiest person you can be.  The combination of homeopathy with these groups accelerates the momentum of your focus.  Gather your courage and check it OUT.

SO MUCH LOVE!

Chapter Two : Remedies for Your Birth

Remedies Commonly Used For Homeopathic Induction
“I do many homeopathic inductions each week. It is very possible to induce labour
safely with homeopathy. Using a remedy to initiate labour will be as if you started
labour naturally on your own.
This chapter contains some descriptions of remedy states, choose a remedy that
most closely matches the symptoms you are experiencing at the present time. These
are remedy pictures that I see most frequently in practice. If nothing seems to fit I
encourage you to seek professional homeopathic care to find your remedy match.
Dosage and Frequency
Take two pellets of the most indicated remedy and wait 24 hours. If there is going to
be a shift it will begin within that time.
You cannot induce labour before you are due. Wait until your due date to try a
remedy.
 
Pulsatilla
Pulsatilla is a remedy that comes up frequently during pregnancy. It has a special affinity
for the female reproduction organs and hormonal system. Pulsatilla is a state which
creates feelings of uncertainty and a gradual understanding that there is level of
commitment needed to create and give birth to a baby.
During labour, Pulsatilla women often take a few days of false labour before committing
to engaging in the contractions and allowing the process of birth to happen. The dilemma
for a Pulsatilla woman is facing the challenge of engaging or escaping. Once that decision
has been made she will work smoothly through labour.
Fears
The central fear for women in a Pulsatilla state is being abandoned. This
fear may be aggravated by the following situations:
• Her husband at work when she needs him
• Her midwife going on vacation or even off call
• Her mother unable to be by her side
• Impending separation of her other children when she has to go to the hospital.
In order to ensure that she feels cared for a Pulsatilla woman will be soft and
accommodating to the suggestions of others and suppress her own feelings and desires in
order to be liked and supported.
Fear that the baby will be harmed in some manner during the birth – feels generally
unwilling to take responsibility for making her own choices, usually prefers to ask the
opinions of others and follow their guidance.
This is a big part of the reason she needs all those other people to be present – should she
need advice or guidance. There is a lot of uncertainty in a Pulsatilla state.
Remedy Picture
• Baby may have been in a breech position at one point during the
pregnancy or moved into many different positions, as if she/he
could not make up their mind.”

If Back Labour is your thing….

heart back

Did you know that back labour – the babe in a posterior position – creates a longer, more painful labour? Perhaps you are only too well aware of this having endured a posterior birth.

Kali Carb 200C will ask the baby to turn.  This can be taken any time in later pregnancy (35 weeks onward), to induce labour (to create optimal pressure to dilate the cervix) or during labour.

Regular consultations with  a chiropractor that specializes in pregnancy is also an incredibly useful support to assist optimal fetal positioning.

You and the baby both are aware that there is a faster, easier way to descend and emerge – the remedy – kali carb 200C merely reminds you both of this knowing.  For more information on remedies to take during labour and postpartum please consult my e-book -
