Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis, Dzambling Cho Tab Khen, served as a Keynote Speaker at the 5th International Conference on Gynecology and Obstetrics, held in Dubai, UAE, on November 3–4, 2025.

Under the title “The Spirituality of Birth,” his keynote address challenged the traditional approach to the profession by proposing a new framework for understanding the conference theme: “New Dimensions in Gynecology: Bridging Gaps, Advancing Futures.”

Key Insights from the Speech:

Dr. Sfeir-Younis revealed that the spiritual seed of Gynecology is the self-realization of “LIFE” in its totality, extending beyond its material dimensions. He argued that childbirth is more than a physical event; it is a spiritual emergency in time and form, a “sacred rite of passage.”

His presentation centered on the idea that health professionals must be prepared to “welcome not only the newborn’s body, but also the mind and soul (the consciousness).”

The proposed paradigm explores the inner transcendental stages of birth, including:

• The role of karmic accumulation before and during birth.

• The importance of the five stages of consciousness that manifest from original identity to delivery.

• The recognition of the body, mind, and consciousness as inseparable elements in the birthing process.

This holistic vision seeks to transform the profession, redefining the well-being of the mother and child, and leading to profound changes in healthcare and university curricula.

Based on the acclaimed keynote address delivered by Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis, The Spirituality of Birth is an essential work that proposes a profound transformation in the field of reproductive health.

Dr. Sfeir-Younis invites readers to explore the spiritual core of Gynecology: the self-realization of Life. Beyond technological advancements, this book delves into childbirth as an act of co-creation with the divine and the moment a soul is individualized in time, space, and identity.

In this groundbreaking book, you will learn about:

• The Body-Mind-Consciousness Paradigm: An understanding that a child at birth simultaneously encompasses the dimensions of the body, mind, and consciousness (or soul).

• The Stages of Consciousness: An analysis of the five stages of consciousness that manifest from conception to delivery.

• The Sacred Rite of Passage: The view of birth as a threshold where the sacred and the material intersect, and the spiritual transformation of the mother.

• Medicine Beyond the Physical: The urgent need to integrate the spiritual dimension into gynecological care to facilitate healing, integrity, and transformation, not just “fixing a problem.”

The Spirituality of Birth is a must-read for obstetricians, gynecologists, midwives, researchers, and anyone seeking a holistic and transcendental understanding of one of the deepest acts of human life.
