Book Description

February 1993
Thought provoking and life affirming, this fascinating exploration of prenatal and birth experience's longterm impact describes how primal therapy, hypnosis, visualization, and body work aid in gaining access to our deepest, earliest memories. Those early experiences may explain chronic conditions resistent to traditional treatments.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Noble, an obstetrical and gynecological physical therapist, offers the premise that people's pre- and perinatal experiences greatly affect their lives--and particularly the way in which women give birth, as they tend to repeat the pattern of their own birth. But she carries this initially intriguing theory too far, as when she insists that metaphors like "I'm in a pinch" refer to emotions experienced in the birth canal. Her thesis that people can actually recall the moment of their conception and get in touch with the feelings of the egg and sperm involved in that process is hard to swallow, and Noble completely ignores the tremendous political implications inherent in the idea that people can remember their mothers' failed attempts to abort them. Her personal recollections are the least convincing material here; the correlation between her artificial insemination and her daughter's losing a finger in an accident is painfully forced. There is fascinating anecdotal material about primal regression--in which people imagine themselves back in the womb and figuratively re-experience their own birth--but little of the evidence is documented in a scientific manner.

More About the Author

Elizabeth Noble was born and raised in Australia, where she completed studies in physiotherapy, philosophy, and anthropology. She was an American Field Service Exchange Student to Tucson, AZ in 1961.

In 1973 after living abroad, she returned to the USA and founded the Section on Women's Health of the American Physical Therapy Association.

Her first book was Essential Exercises for the Childbearing Year, now in a revised 4th edition. After its publication she was invited to create a video with MGM of an exercise program she designed for Marie Osmond during her first pregnancy. Two more books resulted: Marie Osmond's Exercises for Mothers-to-Be, and Marie Osmond's Exercises for Mothers and Babies.

She wrote the first book for expectant parents of multiples, now in its 3rd edition, Having Twins--and More. Her interest in psychology led her to write Primal Connections: How our Experiences from Conception to Birth Influence our Emotions, Behavior and Health and Childbirth with Insight. A fierce advocate for the rights of children, she wrote Having Your Baby by Donor Insemination and The Joy of Being a Boy.

Her decades of presenting seminars, and professional membership in National Speakers Association, honed her interest in communication. Her website, ennobler.net provides resources on international communication issues as does her latest book, Winners Speak Globish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning & Healing Primal Connection from birth & our past, May 31, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Primal Connections: How Our Experiences from Conception to Birth Influence Our Emotions, Behavior, and Health (Paperback)
I love this sensitive personal account of how she discovered the sources of birthing stem from her past, giving awareness of early, even prenatal effects of being in the womb & born getting traumas. But we forget those old repressed hurts causing present problems, need deeper healing that psychotherapy talk counseling. This is a feminine consciousness raising book if your ready to dig into unconscious beginnings of personal problems especially about fertility, conception, pregnancy, birthing, bonding, nursing & loving people now with open hearted empathy. It reminds me of Sondra Ray's book on birthing, Rebirthing, & spiritual growth with awareness of origins that inspire us sharing emotions that effect & come from our Primal birthing origins.Energy Work: The Secret of Healing and Spiritual Development
