Praise for Calm Birth
Childbirth in America is in trouble. But that is not the major message of this wonderful book, just the opposite. Newman offers a program called Calm Birth as a potent solution. It follows the tradition of the earlier pioneers such as Dick-Read, Lamaze, and Bradley in offering practical and ground-breaking solutions to the stresses of birth, but exceeds their efforts by a wide margin. This book is essential reading for birth and other professionals who handle birth-related impacts, such as pediatricians, pre- and perinatal practitioners, childbirth educators, doulas, midwives, nurses, and others. This book is essential for expectant parents who can promote the health of their babies and prevent unnecessary negative impacts. And its magnificent reading!!
William Emerson, PhD, former president, Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health
Robert Bruce Newmans Calm Birth program provides couples and professionals alike a beautiful map, a method and a philosophy, to prepare for birth in a way that honors and helps them connect with their deepest innate nature and abilities. Calm Birth opens up a vista of hope, empowerment, inner wisdom, and confidence to trust the ability to birth naturally. Families stories gracefully illuminate how Calm Birth ignites transformational experience in life, pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I hope you read this book.
Wendy Anne McCarty, PhD, RN, author of Welcoming Consciousness
Robert Bruce Newmans book successfully bridges ancient feminine healing wisdom and meditation to contemporary birth practices. With a broad overview of the history of birth, and deep personal knowledge of meditation, the author presents practical methods that have the power to redefine birth from a medical problem to a natural human process that blesses life itself. With the possibility of safe and calm birth, bonding and trust occur easily and naturally and spread to family, community, and beyond. This book is a must for anyone interested in childbirth.
Barbara Findeisen, MFT, former president, Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health

First and foremost, regarding my work in medicine and childbirth, I am deeply grateful to Shenphen Dawa Rinpoche and Chgyam Trungpa Rinpoche, two of my meditation teachers. After ten years of the study and practice of Vipashyana meditation with Chgyam Trungpa Rinpoche, I began to practice what I found to be a more complete form of Vipashyana with Shenphen Dawa Rinpoche. He transmitted the practice of vase breathing to several students of his starting in 1981. He authorized me to teach it in 1984. It was Vipashyana based on complete breathing, a more complete model of human function and potential.
At an early stage of this books development, David Chamberlain, PhD, began to provide invaluable editorial help and guidance. David had been president of the Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH), an international association of childbirth professionals, psychologists, and researchers intent on improving childbirth practices and health. He was a widely respected author and editor. His editing of two chapters of this book, Childbirth Meditation and Toward a New Era of Childbirth Education, for publication in the peer-reviewed APPPAH journal, was pivotal to the development of the book. His foreword is a testament to his understanding and support. Im deeply grateful for his invaluable help.
But even before Davids essential help with the book came Sandra Bardsleys important help in defining the Calm Birth practice. Sandra was and is a renowned nurse midwife and educator. As a midwife, Sandra had birthed hundreds of children; as an educator, she had published an important book, Creating a Joyful Birth Experience; and she had been one of the founders of Doulas of North America (DONA). That she wholeheartedly believes in (and has long been a teacher of) the Calm Birth practice is essential to Calm Birth. She helped define the practices, and has been a close adviser to the Calm Birth board of directors. She is vital to the program and the practices. Sandra is currently president of APPPAH, which remains an important supporter of Calm Birth.
