Seeing the popularity of Relax With Yoga Thorsons were
immediately interested in my proposal for a book on yoga and
childbirth. At that time I don't think there was anything like it
on the market. The book was published in 1975 and was later
published in paperback form by Sphere under the same title.
One of my main drives to write the book was to present the ideas
surrounding the philosophy of yoga about birth. Namely the belief
that the personality already exists from previous lifetimes and
seeks parents of a particular nature to fulfill its needs in its
incarnation. My wife Brenda and I had great ideals about being fit
parents for children, trying to keep clean in the sense of no
drugs such as tea, coffee, alcohol or nicotine. Looking back we
certainly lacked qualities that were perhaps more important than
the avoidance of tea, but we were doing our best. Unfortunately
Thorsons did not want to publish this chapter and so cut it out of
the book. A further misfortune is that the chapter was never sent
back to me, so I have lost it. |
