MAGICAL BEGINNINGS, ENCHANTED LIVES

Two experienced authors and physicians apply Western prenatal science and the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to the magical process of growing a child in the womb. The emphasis is on connecting with the needs of one's unborn baby by paying attention to nutrition, reducing stress, and developing awareness of how everything in a mother's life can influence the way a baby develops. The production is a successful effort to integrate Western practicality with ancient spiritual wisdom, and to encourage mothers to take care of themselves and their babies before and after birth. With language that will be accessible to everyone, the audio is sensitively read by Shishir Kurup, whose timing and emotional modulation are flawless.
