Dr. Christiane Northrup: Healing the Little Girl in YOU!
But what happens when you begin to trust your gut and just say NO to all the high tech medical interventions that are unnecessary in MOST ( not all) cases?
OMTimes: In September 2010, The Dalai Lama opened the Vancouver Peace Conference by saying, “Western women will save the world.” What barriers do you see women, starting with the western woman (then moving out,) need to overcome to make the Dalai Lama’s Statement begin to happen?
Dr. Christiane Northrup: Women simply need to start trusting what they KNOW and what they FEEL– regardless of what the “experts” say!!! The secret to saving the world lives in the hearts of women– and our capacity to love and nurture. And when we learn to trust this– fiercely, fearlessly– the world will change. But we’ve had 5,000 years of Patriarchy — all of written history. And during that time, women ( and men) who were healers and trusted their intuition– have all been murdered, raped, discredited, burned at the stake, etc. In fact, during the Inquisition, it is estimated that 9 million women were burned as so-called “witches.” We carry this imprint in our psyches. And it is now coming up for transformation and healing!!!
OMTimes: As we learn to embrace our own power, what can we as mothers, aunts, teachers start teaching young girls so they can grow up understanding their own power and how to make powerful choices for their physical and emotional bodies?
Dr. Christiane Northrup: We can teach them that they have the POWER WITHIN to be healthy, to be happy, to Flourish. We can teach them that when they are in a state of joy and pleasure, their bodies work better. We can start by STOPPING the deadly energy of Martydom and self sacrifice. We must model this FOR THEM. Children don’t learn from what you TELL THEM. They learn from what you actually DO!!! So when a woman cares for herself. Takes TIME for herself. Practices the discipline of pleasure, she gives OTHERS permission to do so!!
