Author of Lotus Birth
Lotus Birth is the practice of not cutting the umbilical cord immediately after the babies are born, and leaving it attached to fall off by itself. When the reasons are understood and the resulting peacefulness of the babies is seen, it becomes the most logical thing to do.
There is no medical reason to cut the cord.
This practice highlights and calls into question the standard practice of immediate cord clamping and the recently popularized ‘cord blood banking’ procedure which places the newborn in a highly compromised situation, depriving it of 30% to 50% of its full quota of blood. This is the amount of blood in the cord and placenta at birth, and which is, in the natural order, destined to fill the infant’s major organs.

Returning To The Source
Returning to the Source is a 16-day Advanced Shamanic Training.
It’s a skill-based program that provides a systematic descent into the various realms of the unconscious, the personal, cultural, archetypal and cosmic layers of these realms of existence.
Participants learn to voyage into highly altered states of consciousness and master the skills to inhabit extensive shamanic realms efficiently, safely and enjoyably.
The program is designed in a 64-part sequence (one for each I Ching hexagram, and one for each sequence of our DNA) that step by step deepens into the mysteries of our existence.
On the way you will learn:
• to alter your personal experience of time
• to heal your body rapidly
• to establish connections with internal teachers who can teach any skill you wish to learn
• to guide others into profoundly altered states of awareness
• to join others in those states and to navigate into places of profound beauty, enjoyment, wonder and awe.
Imagine being able to access ‘talking in tongues’ without having to adopt the belief system that usually goes with it!
You will be a visionary anthropologist visiting other star systems in our galaxy! You will have the possibility of walking through the doorway into another dimension, having the skills to enter and exit safely.
The process is designed to unveil the nature of YOUR consciousness to YOURSELF.
You learn through your own experience, not through someone else telling you.
There will be times of profound initiations into the ancient wisdom and mystery traditions.
In addition to being profound, engaging, challenging, life-changing, thought-provoking, entertaining, and enabling you to think and see things in a new way, Returning to the Source is fun!
Past participants have included business analysts and corporate trainers, doctors and a Professor of Medicine, teachers, a property developer, shamanic apprentices, public servants, midwives, dancers, a film script writer, psychiatric nurse, landscape gardener, sailor, rebirthers and therapists, cabinet maker, mothers, carpenters, social workers and market gardener.
Returning to the Source teaches skills that will stay with you for the rest of your life in a concentrated, innovative and enjoyable way.

Rachana Talks About Lotus Birth
Lotus Birth is the practice of leaving the umbilical cord uncut, so that the baby remains attached to the placenta until the cord naturally separates at the navel, exactly as a cut cord does 3-10 days after birth.
