Emergency House Call: Dr. Fred Stops Umbilical Artery Bleeding at Home

Dr. Fred, a holistic physician, examining the umbilical cord of a patient during a medical evaluation.

Here is what a patient said about me when I went to her house in an emergency because she was bleeding from her umbilical artery.

“Dr. Bloem has been my physician for years, and he knows about my medical history, which includes a defect in my navel that makes me prone to rupturing my umbilical artery. When I bled from the artery for the third time, I knew I had to go to the hospital right away. Due to my disability, a trip to the hospital would have been extremely difficult for me. I called Dr. Bloem, and at first he didn’t want to help because it was hard to get to the place where I was bleeding. However, he quickly changed his mind and came to my house to suture the artery shut. His patient-centered care and medical expertise saved me from a potentially dangerous situation. As I talk about my time with Dr. Bloem, I want to stress how important holistic medical care is in an emergency.

When Dr. Bloem arrived at my home, I was in a great deal of pain and bleeding heavily. The gauze pads I had been using to stop the bleeding were soaked through, and there was a pool of blood on the floor. Dr. Bloem quickly took a look at what was going on and saw that the bleeding was coming from the umbilical artery. Even though the bleeding was difficult to see, Dr. Fred was able to suture the artery closed in my home using his medical supplies and instruments. His gentle hands and calm demeanor helped me feel at ease during the procedure.

Dr. Bloem is a holistic physician, which means that he provides medical care that considers the whole person, not just their symptoms. He knows my medical history, including the fact that I have a defect in my navel that makes me more likely to rupture my umbilical artery. Because he knew about my medical history, he was able to give me expert care that was tailored to my needs.

After Dr. Bloem had successfully sutured the umbilical artery closed, he stayed with me to make sure that the bleeding had stopped and that I was comfortable. He also provided follow-up care to ensure Dr. Fred has been my physician for years, and he knows about my medical history which includes a defect in my navel that makes me prone to rupturing my umbilical artery.

Have you ever gotten a song stuck in your head? You know how it repeats again and again? If you are going to have something repeating in your mind, it may as well be something that you have chosen intentionally. And how about saying something over and over again that has a positive message? Repeating ancient mantras out loud, silently in your mind, or as part of a mala meditation can be a powerful addition to your daily well-being practices.

Some of the most powerful mantras are in Sanskrit, an Indo-Aryan language that dates back to approximately 1,500–200 BCE. Sanskrit is one of the oldest languages in the world and is the language of many of India’s spiritual texts, including the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda, and Atharva Veda. Other powerful mantras are in Gurmukhi, which is the script used to write the Punjabi language in India. Gurmukhi, which means “from the mouth of the guru,” was standardized by Sri Guru Angad Sahib Ji, a Sikh spiritual leader, in the 16th century. Gurmukhi is also the language of the sacred literature of the Sikhs.

Though it would be valuable and inspiring to study with devoted Sanskrit and Gurmukhi scholars, it may not be feasible or likely for you to do. In the absence of such guidance, you can rest on the assurance that part of the magic of these ancient languages is that their power does not depend on you being able to pronounce the words perfectly or read the original form; the power is in the intention behind the words and your own interpretation and experience of the sounds.

Weaving Mantras into Your Daily Spiritual Practice


There are a variety of ways to create a personal mantra practice that is uniquely yours. A traditional practice is to chant a mantra. Vocal vibrations are powerful healing tools. Chanting, singing, and humming, especially with a group, have been scientifically shown to calm the nervous system, improve mood and regulate stress responses, and positively change the brain.

Your mantra practice could also include silently repeating a mantra during meditation, mindfully writing or drawing a mantra in its original language, writing out the translations that speak to your heart, or listening to recordings of mantra chants. In fact, listening to the tones and vibrations of the chants can be as powerful as singing them. You can easily find online sources of video and audio recordings of Sanskrit and Gurmukhi mantra chants played at various tempos and performed in different musical styles.

You can begin by exploring these nine ancient mantras to calm your nervous system, raise your energetic vibration, and honor the teachings of Eastern spiritual wisdom.

1. Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo


I bow to the Creative Wisdom. I bow to the Divine Teacher Within.

Known as the Adi Mantra, this Gurmukhi mantra is traditionally sung or chanted to invoke divine wisdom before a Kundalini Yoga practice. It is commonly translated in English as I bow to the Creative Wisdom, I bow to the Divine Teacher within. This mantra was important in the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, an Indian spiritual teacher who brought the practice of Kundalini Yoga to the West. It is used to tune in to the self-knowledge within. You can also use this mantra when you feel confused or alone and want to connect to the infinite wisdom of your true self or spirit.
