Rebozo Medicine from the Heart®

with Angelina Martinez Miranda

Angelina Martinez Miranda is a renowned traditional midwife living and practicing in Morelos, Mexico. The inheritor of three generations of midwifery wisdom; her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother were all traditional midwives, practicing for around 40 years each. She started attending births when she was 7 years old. At 13 she became a mother herself to her rst son and started attending births on her own. Angelina is married, has 5 sons and many grandchildren. Throughout her life she has attended over 15,000 births.

Angelina is a long-term member of the  Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA) and a founding member of a new state organisation created by the traditional midwives of Morelos. Angelina travels all over the world giving talks and workshops and speaking at international conferences, sharing traditional Mexican practices enriched by modern midwifery and other topics she has studied, to keep up-to-date with evidence-based obstetrics. She is very well respected and is a strong source of inspiration for the many traditional midwives in Mexico who are working to preserve and revitalise their profession for the future.

WHY IS THE USE OF AUTHENTIC MEXICAN REBOZOS IMPORTANT?

As the use of rebozo increases in popularity amongst doulas, matronas, midwives, few people are aware of the fact that rebozo-weaving families in Mexico are in serious difficulties. Please ensure the rebozos you purchase are fair-trade, authentic and made of cotton to ensure your practice is ethical and you support this ancient craft from Mexico which is described by some as being in danger of extinction.

In this interview with Angelina Martinez Miranda, she shares the importance of using authentic, 100% cotton, Mexican rebozos.

WHY SHOULD I LEARN FROM THE SOURCE?

Today more than ever it is necessary to be acutely aware of the need to learn indigenous teachings from indigenous people whenever possible. In reality, it is quite easy once you make this decision. Learning from the source honours the culture and peoples whose teachings we are seeking to share with the world. If you come from a nation that is financially more secure than that of the nation you are learning from, then there is also a need to create a sustained and respectful way to give back in practical and meaningful ways. Creating this chain of blessings and abundance that goes back to the original wisdom keepers, strengthens and deepens your practice.
