Cradle of Heaven: Psychological and Spiritual Dimensions of Conception, Pregnancy and Birth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781434367334)

Life's greatest challenge-parenting In Cradle of Heaven, Murshida Vera Corda, Ph.D., helps parents and caretakers develop the ability to attune to their children through observing what is happening in their five developmental bodies: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and ethical/moral, regardless of their chronological age. She shows how motherhood and fatherhood consist of a series of skills we relearn in life's greatest challenge - parenting. "Murshida Vera helps parents surround conception, pregnancy, and birthing with loving radiance. Her material is interwo¬ven with detailed guidance for the spiritual conduct of the beginnings of human life." - Edith Patten, International Childbirth Education Assn. "With Cradle of Heaven, Murshida Vera Corda addresses the fear of the unknown future for prospective parents so that they can prepare joyously and consciously for the birth of their child." - Kathleen Grandison, MD., New Life Birthing Center "Murshida Vera, seeing the unfolding of the human spirit in a child as the growth of seed, has created tools for the best environment to guide the innate entelechy of the child to physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual growth. The book is a must for teachers and parents." - Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, Jewish Renewal Movement "In Cradle of Heaven, the practical understanding of a skilled nurse and counselor combines with the intuitive vision of a gifted mystic to produce an approach to sex, pregnancy, delivery and postpartum care that is genuinely conducive to health and wholeness." -Pir Zia Inayat-Khan, Sufi Order International
