The Joys of Soul Midwifery - Offering Holistic Support and Reassurance at the End of Life

A good death is an extraordinary, moving and sacred experience. It can also have a healing quality, not only for the person who is involved but their families, friends and the wider community. In this uplifting talk, sometimes moving but also joyful, a soul midwife delivers her experience of sitting with people as they die and inspires and informs us of the difference we can all make in supporting people at the end of their lives. What are Soul Midwives? Soul Midwives are non-medical, holistic companions who guide and support the dying in order to facilitate a gentle and tranquil death. Soul Midwives: • Listen • Provide gentle therapeutic techniques • Ensure compassionate care at all times • Work holistically with both the spirit and soul of the dying person • Keep a loving vigil • Create and hold a sacred and healing space for the dying person • Recognise and support the needs of the departing soul to enable a tranquil death • Use sound, touch, colour, smell and other gentle techniques to help alleviate pain and anxiety • Support families and loved ones The Soul Midwife’s most important role is to provide comfort, continuous support and reassurance in helping a dying person to experience the death he or she wants.

College of Psychic Studies
HOST:
College of Psychic Studies - The College was founded in 1884 by a group of eminent scholars and scientists. Its purpose was to facilitate formal investigation into the psychic and mediumistic phenomena that were such a topic of debate in the Victorian era. With great courage, this group of distinguished people, some notable in science, others from within the ranks of the Anglican clergy, defied the prevailing canons of respectability in order to proclaim to a world of increasing materialism that human personality survives bodily death and that this is capable of demonstration.
