May the Holy Ones protect your passage! May helping hands be extended to you on every side! (C.Matthews)
Spiritual Midwifery
In May, 2015, I attended a training in Dorset with Felicity Warner about Soul Midwifery. www.soulmidwives.co.uk
Felicity is the founder and creator of Soul Midwives, having been in practice for 20 years.
Soul Midwifery is about learning to understand the different stages in the process of dying, as well as accompanying someone who is in that process of crossing the threshold. I am available to anyone who wishes to have me there as a support and soul-friend in that process. At the moment my service is free of charge as I am still a fledgling soul midwife!
Please do get in touch and ask for a visit. 01342 826570/07791 942544 or email anniebee@zen.co.uk
I am also able to offer support in preparing for death. You might even be feeling very well, with no thought of dying, but preparing for death, also prepares you to live well each day of your life! However, if you have had a diagnosis that makes death seem nearer, I am able to support you in practical, soul and spiritual ways so that you can have a good death. I can create with you a Death Plan, as well as discover with you a personal guided meditation to help you feel peaceful and calm. I can offer gentle healing touch and teach you simple breathing exercises that can help in moments of stress.
A Blessing for Death
John Donahue
I pray that you will have the blessing of being consoled and sure about your own death.
May you know in your soul that there is no need to be afraid.
When your time comes, may you be given every blessing and shelter that you need.
May there be a beautiful welcome for you in the home that you are going to.
You are not going somewhere strange. You are going back to the home you never left.
May you have a wonderful urgency to live your life to the full.
May you live compassionately and creatively and transfigure everything that is negative within you and about you.
When you come to die may it be after a long life.
May you be peaceful and happy and in the presence of those who really care for you.
May your going be sheltered and your welcome assured.
May your soul smile in the embrace of your anam cara.
