1st World Library Placenta - the Forgotten Chakra | Robin Lim

The placenta, the root of your origin, is a miraculous organ that shares andprotects your life. It is the conductor that unites you with your mother and servesas the control panel of the womb-ship that sustains you until you are born. It wasconceived at the moment of your genesis. Your placenta is genetically identicalto you. Though you share some of your parents' genetic identity, unless youhave a monozygotic (identical) twin, no one, except your placenta, has everbeen so perfectly, exactly you. Sexual reproduction, the act of creating new life, only works because of the placenta. As mammals, we reproduce sexually, so sexis the reddest, hottest tile in the mosaic of our earthly lives, and the placenta isthe mandala in the center of this miracle. Historically, our creation stories tellof the Earth Mother birthing the world: her amniotic fluid became the oceans, the placenta became the Tree of Life. This demonstrates how essential theplacenta is to our survival and how embedded it is in our psyche. According to Chaos Theory, dynamic systems are sensitive to start upconditions. Human beings are extremely dynamic systems, and our survivalhinges on the strength of our individual immune systems. The placenta isthe commander-in-chief of the baby's immune system during embryonicdevelopment (i. e. condition of start-up). Thus, we must protect our offspring'splacentas by being gentle during the transition of birth, to give our children thebest possible start and protect the very foundation of their immune systems.
