This article provides an overview of Dr. Randolph Stone's Polarity paradigm (energy concept) and explores its application to the transition of a baby's consciousness and experience of pre-conception, conception, gestation and birth.  Baby Angelika's case-history is presented to illustrate how application of the Polarity paradigm can support individuals (especially babies) to heal prenatal and birth trauma.  The paradigm is presented as a bridge to understanding the effects of trauma on the emerging being and suggestes how a new approach to healing trauma in babies is consitent with Dr. Stone's energy concept.  Special attention is given to the three gunas and to triad relationships as a conceptual model for healing prenatal and birth trauma.  A call for further research is made.  The conclusion suggests that:  1. A global paradigm shift from technological and biochemically dominant practices to energy medicine that focuses on human understanding, compassion, contact and love is already in progress;  2.  Support be given to parents to prepare for conception; 3. Support be given to pregnant parents and unborn babies to reach thier full human potential during pregnancy, labor and birth; 4.  Support be given to babies and families with therapy for unresolved prenatal and birth trauma shortly after birth.
