Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Sat nam, I'm sorry for your loss or for whomever's loss you are inquiring about. I had a miscarriage at the beginning of this year. I did lots of stuff, some of which was Kundalini Yoga and some wasn't, in order to heal. I chanted akaal for the baby. Chanting akaal is what you do when someone dies, apparently helping release them from their worldly ties, and I have found it therapeutic to me energetically when I have chanted it for people I have lost over the years. Also, my friends and I had a ceremony or ritual (based on one in the Circle Round book (not Kundalini yoga). Our subconscious minds respond very well to ritual, and when my girlfriends and I had our little ceremony, I truly let go of this baby, I felt way better afterward. I unfortunately still had not passed the dead fetus's body (very common) and had a lot of healing to do around that fact, and eventually did have the hospital remove it. I really got my closure after that, and really the last bit of healing after my ritual with my girlfriends was more about being disappointed that I couldn't miscarry at home and have a burial in my yard for the body. I had an emergency C-section with my first child after laboring at home for a home-birth, and so not being able to pass my dead baby naturally upset me. I made it mean a bunch of stuff about me that was not true. In the end i had an epiphany that " nothing is wrong with me " and made up my mind that day to get the D & E done at the hospital. I'm telling you all,this info because miscarriages are very very common but people feel uncomfortable talking about them, it's the double whammy of being about death and being about babies dying. I am here to talk or listen for anybody who has a miscarriage. You will find once you share what you are going through, that there is a sisterhood of those of us who have had miscarriages. You will heal. Be patient with your grieving, but do chant akaal sometime and do write in a journal, tdo art, do something symbolic like a little ritual with trusted friends (tuning in or opening the ceremony, setting up an alter, saying Goodbyes to baby, sharing your feelings of disappointment and feeling slighted by God or mother Nature, whatever feels natural, sing, chant, burn sage, etc, then tune out or close the ceremony.) When you are ready, Google search this great song about mourning, by The The, called Love Is Stronger Than Death, watch on youtube and have a good cry.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Dear Guru Beant Kaur ji, Sat nam. Thank you so much for your contribution about miscarriages. It is generous and courageous because it is often a difficult subject to talk about. I would like to add something from the Teachings of Yogi Bhajan. I heard him say that every pregnancy, including miscarriage and abortion, take the same toll on a woman as a fullterm pregnancy and delivery. Recovering still takes the same amount of time. The pressure placed on the glandular system, nervous system, psyche and more, need to be taken into consideration. All of those have already shifted to sustain the new life. So even with an interrupted pregnancy, the body needs time to heal, and support to return to health and balance. On recovering from pregnancy, I recommend " The Gift of Giving Life " (with suggestions like eating sauteed almonds and kitcheree, as well as refraining from strenuous yoga for a time) and Gurmukh's book, " Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful. " Including daily meditation is important and uplifting music.
