It’s never too late to be BORN WHOLE

You can be BORN WHOLE

Do you feel grief or heaviness when you consider the time before you were born? Do you sense that your mother's thoughts and emotions affected you then and throughout your life?

If your answer is “Yes!”, read this lifechanging book.

It’s never too early to be BORN WHOLE

Your children can be BORN WHOLE

Would you like to be able to accompany and guide your children lovingly through their time in the womb?

If your answer is "Yes!", read this lifechanging book.

Born Whole is the inspiring first-person account of how a trained meditator revisited his time in the womb in a deep altered state of consciousness, and how he healed his own pre-birth trauma.

This is a story of personal triumph and growth. Even more, it is a description of what is possible for everyone.

The author of Born Whole re-lived three major developmental events from before his birth: conception, implantation, and labor. Later he revisited the environment of the womb and experienced again the wonder and stresses of his mother’s ongoing emotions, worldview, and physical circumstances. Born Whole also includes the beautiful story of how he spiritually guided a baby through the process of its birth.

In Born Whole you will learn how the experiences and environment of the womb prepare you for life after birth. You will discover

How to re-experience for yourself the pain and the beauty of your pre-birth experience
That life before birth is not all easy, just as life after birth is not all easy—and the stresses of the womb are absolutely necessary for survival
How to heal and transform womb trauma from events such as conception and birth
How to heal negative effects of the womb environment arising from emotional stress, beliefs, food, drugs, or physical circumstances experienced by your mother.

Born Whole is for parents, grandparents, nurses, midwives and others who work with babies yet to be born. You will discover

That children can be born emotionally healthy, already knowing they are welcome and will be loved by the same people who have been with them all along
How it is possible to accompany and guide a yet-to-be-born (or yet-to-be-conceived!) baby through the wonderful and challenging time of conception and gestation to be born whole with your presence, love, and reassurance on that beautiful journey.

Wes Gietz (1946-notdeadyet)

It’s been a wonderful journey! I’ve learned to do so many things: make fire by rubbing sticks together, travel in realms of spirit, be a father, perform differential calculus, shoot rapids in a canoe, teach meditation, use a chainsaw, heal others and stay healthy, lie on my back and watch the clouds go by. I live on the west coast of Canada with a wonderful woman in a house overlooking the ocean. And now I’ve written a book that will save the world! Does it get any better??

My life has spanned a variety of disciplines and worldviews. These days I identify myself primarily as a writer. I’m also a teacher of spirituality and awakening, a guide and coach, a public speaker, and a practitioner of energy healing techniques. You can find out about my free offerings and learn more about these programs at https://mailchi.mp/6193fae822f0/windwalker-signup.

I take life seriously and I have a lot of fun. I travel, ride a bicycle, swim, walk, and play table tennis. I love good coffee and good wine.

I’ve been acknowledged as a storyteller, an elder, a shaman, a leader of ceremony, and someone who demonstrates the qualities of patience, wisdom, compassion, and understanding. I’ve Vision Quested four times. In 1999 I initiated the Firemaker Primitive Skills Gathering, an annual week-long learning and celebration of ancient skills and community.

Prior to writing Born Whole, I published numerous articles in various journals and newsletters on topics such as edible and medicinal plants, spirituality, healing, tracking, and Coyote Mentoring. I’m a contributing author of Peak States of Consciousness, Volume 2: Acquiring Extraordinary Spiritual and Shamanic States (Grant McFetridge with Wes Gietz, 2008).

I have Bachelor’s degrees in Chemistry/Mathematics and English Literature, and Master’s degrees in Biochemistry and Public Administration. I worked for 20 years in human resource management and planning. I’ve taught business communication, statistics, and human resource management at university and college. My most important teachers of the meaning and potential of life have been Tom Brown Jr., Jon Young, David R. Hawkins, Michael Newton, and Ken Wilber. I’ve been challenged and enriched by many friends and partners, relatives and foes, and have learned to love them all.

healing ourselves and our children at the same time

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is about healing prenatal trauma, which is thought to be universal. Because of his unconventional ways of knowing, it is very helpful that the author's beliefs are spelled out, briefly and clearly, upfront. I agree with Gietz that the need for healing is much greater than agreement on philosophical details. Therefore I suggest you read the book through without preconceived notions first, and only later decide for yourself what to keep, and what to leave.

The idea that we can and should connect to infants as whole people is laudable and opens up avenues to truly respectful interactions with beings who are very vulnerable and powerless. If prenates can perceive their mothers' emotions chemically and energetically, then this would contribute to their set-points of sensitivity, happiness, etc. in later life. At this point, I find it comforting to consider that the soul of the unborn child may actively choose their parents, and also that prenatal trauma somehow prepares the child for later difficulties in life. Without those thoughts, the burden on pregnant mothers to do things perfectly would become even heavier than it already is.

It is when we create the next generation that we become aware of how ill society has become. Only nine months of reading to prepare for a new and huge project, and it is near impossible to keep up with and protect the ever-changing child after it is born. So many of our own hurts to heal, and so little time. So many decisions to make, all of them potentially crucial.

This book emphasizes hope, and provides some simple techniques that work for healing ourselves and our children at the same time, starting from where we are right now. The role for fathers is clear: to heal themselves will directly impact the mother, and through her, the unborn child. They are not excluded from baby-care: they can communicate directly with their child, as well. While higher levels of skill in healing, intuiting and communicating can be built over time, these are not a requirement at the outset. What is required is clear intentions and persistence, together with self-acceptance and forgiveness. And that is nothing new for a parent. So take heart.

To top it all, this information is given to you in a very reasonable number of easily readable pages. What are you waiting for? Read on already!

I very much enjoyed reading Born Whole. Wes has been a mentor and a elder figure for many years in my life through nature based ceremony and EFT. He is a skilled guide and compassionate man and I could hear his voice through the Born Whole narrative, as it has a wonderful storytelling quality, that draws you in. Authentic and easy to read, I found it an engaging read and found myself taken on journeys. It pushed some edges of wonderings and some topics I hadn't really considered before, as such as prebirth traumas and ways to heal. I enjoyed as well bringing in the perspective of some indigenous cultures that carry this knowledge deep into the fabric of their culture. This is an important book and could help many to work through some of these issues.

This book will take you to places you have never been before and challenge your ideas of what is possible. The author does a great job of taking you on a journey of exploration about what it means to be "whole" through an in depth sharing of his own personal experiences. I found that this honest and open hearted approach to writing made the book really inspiring and engaging. There were times where I questioned if this work was only accessible to someone with a deep spiritual practice already in place and it felt a little daunting to consider. However, do not despair! The author does a great job of presenting concepts and resources for anyone who wants to pursue their own healing and in doing so is creating a new and hopeful future for us all.

What an amazing book!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 26, 2019

WOW! Let me start by saying that while this book dives into novel research and offers incredible depth of the discoveries of this work, it reads like you are sitting across the table from an old friend. I found that the conversational tone made the pages fly by! The concepts and findings are presented in terms anyone can fully understand and appreciate. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from cover to cover, and I have never come across any other resources that dive into pre-birth trauma. I highly recommend this book to anyone, and especially new or soon-to-be mothers!

I found the concepts in the first part of the book harder to connect to. But then I kept reading and suddenly it all made sense and I found myself following along with the experiences, taking in this new knowledge and gaining new perspective. Amazing what can be experienced when we open our minds to new experiences – we can learn so much about ourselves. My favorite chapter was ‘The Journey of Our Souls’ – it changed my thinking and somehow – it was, deep down, what I always knew to be true. Really enjoyed this book!

Healing ourselves is a lifelong task, and anything we can use to tackle that task is appreciated. In this wonderful piece of writing, Wes explores the deep caves of the time before we were born, and offers himself as a guide along that journey. This is one of those few & rare & essential books which will shift your perspective on so many things, and offers warm & useful approaches to our journey, to understand ourselves & our chance to share & heal, with each other & with ourselves. Love it!

Explores areas seldom considered on healing journey

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 26, 2019

Most of what we hear about the inner life of unborn babies focusses on the biological aspects only. Gietz’s book takes the reader way beyond that boundary and into the richness of the emotional, mental & spiritual aspects of every individual human life from its very beginnings.

Around Chapter 5 I found myself checking how many pages I had read & how many were left in the book. I was enjoying it so much,I didn’t want it to end. I slowed down my reading to make it last longer!

Heal Pre-Birth Trauma and Protect Your Baby Before He/She is Born!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 25, 2019

"Do you feel grief or heaviness when you consider the time before you were born? Do you sense that your mother's thoughts and emotions affected you then and throughout your life? "

This book had a very interesting approach to how we can protect our children before they are born into the world. From conception to birth, Wes Gietz provides advice and a plan to show women how to take care of the child as it grows in the womb.

Born Whole is the inspiring first-person account of how a trained meditator revisited his time in the womb, and how he healed his own pre-birth trauma.

This is a story of personal triumph and growth. Even more, it is a description of what is possible for everyone.

The author Wes Gietz of Born Whole re-lived three major pre-birth events while in a deep altered state of consciousness: his own conception, implantation, and labor. Later he revisited the environment of the womb and experienced again the wonder and stresses of his mother’s ongoing emotions, worldview, and physical circumstances.

This is the story of his journey. Born Whole also includes the beautiful story of how he spiritually guided a baby through its birth.

In Born Whole you will discover:

+How to re-experience for yourself the pain and the beauty of your pre-birth experience
+That life before birth is not all easy, just as life after birth is not all easy—and the stresses of the womb are absolutely necessary for survival
+How to heal and transform womb trauma from events such as conception and birth
+How to heal the negative effects of the womb environment arising from emotional stress, beliefs, food, drugs, or physical circumstances experienced by your mother.

Who is this book for?
Born Whole is for parents, grandparents, nurses, midwives and others who work with babies yet to be born.
A definite great read!

Great book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 28, 2019

As a BodyTalk practitioner I have seen many, many instances of pre-birth trauma in my clients – sometimes from what the mother or father were experiencing, sometimes from the birthing experience itself, or at other times even from a deep hesitation to be born at all! Wes’s book really resonates with my personal and clinical experience.

In Born Whole, Wes describes his experiences as a participant in a multi-year research project which used hypnosis to allow a re-experiencing of various stages of fetal development and even pre-conception. Particularly interesting were his descriptions of the trauma of being separated initially from the absolute Love and bliss to come into being as a human and also the pain of separation from the mother during the birthing process itself.

More and more it is acknowledged how important pre-birth conditions are, and Wes’ clear descriptions of the pre-birth experiences at various stages of fetal development and even pre-conception make it clear that even under the best of environments, there are natural traumas that occur and that help form how we experience the world. There are many approaches in energy healing work, including EFT (Wes' modality), which can heal these traumas. I especially loved Wes’ description later on in the book, of healing some of these traumas with a preborn child. Imagine if it became standard among doctors and midwifes who work with pregnant mothers and deliveries to include healing these traumas prior to and after a baby’s birth as part of their intention and approaches!

I read the intro to description (copied it here: "Do you feel grief or heaviness when you consider the time before you were born? Do you sense that your mother's thoughts and emotions affected you then and throughout your life? ")

I thought, "sounds interesting" after all I had never heard of this thought. The Author brings up all kinds of intriguing thoughts which challenged my thinking since I come from a different background. However, it is well written and well thought out and I found myself pausing to think and take in all the different perspectives!

Pick it up. Learn something new. Challenge your self and enjoy the read.
