Dr John Shen• Very wonderful Chinese herbalist and
pulse master (now dead) who studied people all his life
• Gave acupuncturists a totally different take on our medicine – through acute & reasoned observation, deduction & dedication.
• He said . . . .

4 PIVOTAL TIMESIn a woman’s life, when she
can either amazingly
IMPROVE her state of being,
Or seriously WRECK it.
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com 2007
Why do I mention this?• During our own lives, we know
when things carry greater weight/magnitude
• None more so than when pregnant & birthing & then being in that primal state where we are subsumed in maternity & maternal urges
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com 2007
FOUR TIMES FOR WOMEN
•Puberty•Onset of sexuality•Pregnancy•Menopause
• The essence of all maternity - can we open our hearts and nourish our wombs?
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com 2007
Well pregnancy• Need to have had easy periods
first.
• Normal qi & blood flow & production = normal periods.
• Normal periods should lead to easy conceptions & well pregnancy
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com 2007
Normal pregnancy
FOR THE WOMAN• Increase in HEAT• Increase in BLOOD• Increase in DAMPNESS• Increase in LIVER QI
• Decrease in available KIDNEY QI
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com 2007
Digestive issues• Work especially on the back - at
the level of the bra strap.
• A Rolfing technique, out form the spine. Slowly and very deeply.
• It does hurt, but feels wonderful afterwards.

• Points to check
• If Liv 13 sore – is digestive /Spleen issue
• If GB 25 – is a Ki – deeper problem
• Straddling a chair is the easiest position
• Ensure mum is warm, with something on her feet.
• Arrows show directions of massage flow.

What creates a deviation from the textbook
blueprint?
Anything that is heating
distresses/destroys yin
Lack of flow toxic substances(Stuck Liver Qi) (modern
life)

Yin Deficiency
•Body fluids have been damaged and dryness and heat symptoms result. This brings problems with: - Cooling

regulation have been damaged, so the person feels cold & lacking ‘oomph’ on all levels.

‘CAUSES OF DISEASE’
To be breathing, we suffer
Ignorance gives rise to desire – hatred – pride – jealousy – harsh speech – more obscuration – and around you go . . . . .
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com 2007
CLASSIFICATIONS OF DISEASE
• Karma – reaping of past actions• This lifetime – manifested later
in the same life (see Dr Shen heart conditions)
• Spirits (possession)
• Superficial (lifestyle changes will alter these)

OFTEN I AM ASKED TO HELP
BUT baby is obviously NOT in position
No use wondering why waters not breaking, contractions starting
orShe is now ‘overdue’
Or not ‘progressing ‘ if put into labour
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com 2007
‘OP’ PRESENTATION
An OP baby tends to not go ‘on time’,
not break waters, not progress when finally in
labour, & give excruciating back ache
labour,End up distressed, UNLESS mum
is able to move baby to correct spot. THEN labour progresses.

CONCEPTION - BIRTH
• The closer to our beginnings, the bigger the BANG ! ! ! ! !
• Birth – the transition between dependence and being separate.
• Fetal to adult circulationin one breath . . . .

Dr Shen (paraphrased) also said
• That the impact of things on us decreases the further away we are from our source
• That the first 1/3 of affect happened before we were even born.
• Think on this . . . . .

OUR SPIRIT RESIDES IN THE HEART
Our heart is guarded by our ‘pericardium’.
We are who we are
We perceive the world & respond to it, due to its health or
otherwise.
HOW NOT TO DO IT
Distressed mum & baby
(forceps)
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com 2007
Deviations from the ordinary life script
Not feeling special
Not being included
Having a disconnectionBROKEN HEART
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com 2007
CONNECTION?• To ourselves
• To others
• To someone special
• To ‘God’/higher force
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com 2007
WHAT STOPS THIS?
• Think of a sapling
• Prevailing wind
• Not enough nourishment, water
• Marauding animals, pests, diseases
Heather Bruce Copyright 2007
www.sharpen-up-your-results.com 2007
FOR CHILDREN?• Need – orderly, safe and happy
growing medium – happy family.
• When this is missing, or if a BIG shock at the beginning – guaranteed to be difficult – not what genetic potential showed was possible.
• Maybe what was MEANT to be though
