I always love seeing pictures of
Nicole Kidman and
Keith Urban together...so today must be my lucky day. Here they are again, this time shopping at an art gallery. These two have been photographed quite a lot lately! And is it my imagination or is she trying to keep his arm in front of her to cover up a possible little bump????
J-Lo is going to have a Scientology silent birth.
Sarah Jessica Parker in a bikini.Watch a video of a loopy
Britney interacting with the paramedics.
George Clooney wants to make his girlfriend a huge star.New
Lenny Kravitz!
Simon Cowell's girlfriend is a hottie!
Lily Allen goes back on her word.
Shanna Moakler talks about her kids.Which
Victoria's Secret model indulges in donuts and pretty much everything else under the sun?I guess
Pamela Anderson is getting a divorce after all...
Once I see Nicole waddle across a parking lot with her hand on her back for support then I will begin to show an interest, until then.......
I think Nicole is gorgeous....I hope they are blessed with a child (or several!) soon.
I wish Nicole Kidman would go back to being a redhead.
I am not a scientologist, or particularily religious, but some of the misinformation about silent birth just makes me boil....
What is "silent birth"?
Silent Birth
Silent birth is having a quiet or gentle birth, and it’s all about providing the best environment for the birthing mother and her new baby. It’s labor and delivery done in a calm and loving environment with no spoken words by everyone present as much as possible. Obviously, there will be times that that’s not completely practical, but that’s the intention and the general plan. Chatty doctors and nurses’ shouts to “Push! Push!†and loud and laughing remarks, even if they’re meant as “encouragement,†those are things we’re trying to avoid.
Why do Scientologists practice silent birth?
It’s based on L. Ron Hubbard’s research into the mind and spirit. He found that words spoken during pain and unconsciousness can have effects on an individual later in life. It’s called the reactive mind. Anyone can read about this in the book Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health, but mothers who are familiar with this and have seen the effects more generally, naturally want to give their baby the best possible start in life, so they want to keep birth as quiet as possible.
How are medical emergencies handled when the parents opt for silent birth?
Scientology has no policy at all against the use of medicines that have a purpose for a specific situation, if it’s a medical problem, its up to the doctor and the patient so that means that if a C-section is necessary, then a C-section it is. If the mother desires painkillers, then she can opt for an epidural or whatever.
So some conversation, then, is allowed in the delivery room?
Absolutely. You should understand more basically about Scientology. Scientology’s not a set of rituals that have to be followed. It’s methods that can be used; it’s principles that can be understood by people. So, Scientology and its application in everyday life helps people solve problems, it provides answers to questions like, “how do we solve study problems?†and “how do we improve our relationships?†“How do we make our businesses and families flourish?†All those things are principles that Scientology can aid people with. Similarly, in a silent birth, it’s a principle that as few words as possible during is desirable because those words can have an unfortunate effect. But if you need to- if words need to be said, instructions from the doctor, especially if the mother herself wants to say something, or if she feels like screaming, there’s no intention to keep what needs to be done from being done.
Years ago I gave birth to my older daughter this way and it was actually kind of relaxing and done in a small CATHOLIC (nuns and mid wife included)
