BREAST FEEDING AND STRESS DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

After decades of working on STRESS MANAGEMENT; I have begun to realize that the seeds of STRESS are located deep down in the hormonal and metabolic activities. Hence the stress management workshops and counseling, which do not reach thus far; are either merely palliative, or completely ineffective or actually counterproductive.

The case in point is; breast feeding.

Breast feeding is a vital part of the instinct of parental care.

In modern days; women are forced to wean the babies earlier that desired. The mothers suffer deprivation of maternal instinct on the one hand and the babies suffer the deprivation of the instinctual need of physical proximity, touch and suckling on the other!

This causes severe stress in the mother and child; besides increasing the chances of breast malignancy and abscesses in the mothers; and defective growth and infections in babies!

This stress along with the other adverse effects; cannot be managed by counseling and/or stress management workshops! It cannot be managed by anything other than breast feeding!

Total Stress Management therefore; insists on adequate arrangements for breast feeding; especially in public places such as airports, railway stations, bus stations, schools, colleges factories, offices etc.

Let us understand therefore; the analogy; that the theory and practice of Total Stress Management is like the breast feeding, of the mankind by the Mother Nature! The Mother Nature meets in the form of Guru; called, mauli (mother), because he/she feeds us the divine sap of NAMASMARAN (the core of Total Stress Management) and blossoms us -the universe, even though we-the infantile mankind- is unaware of it!
