Resources for Pregnant Women and Midwives to Prepare for Conscious Home Birth, Natural Birth and Water Birth.
Peace On Earth Begins With Birth
The quality of our civilization largely depends on
the way we procreate. The way we arrive into this
world defines our capacity for love, compassion,
intimacy. Conscious conception and birth are an
integral part of conscious living.
When parents create a new baby in full awareness
of the effect their actions and thoughts have on
their unborn child, humankind is given another
chance to thrive.
The quality of our life is defined, first of all,
by the quality of attention and love received
while we are still in our mother's womb!
Secondly, the life is defined by the quality of
our birth itself. There is an overwhelming body of
evidence that birth trauma is responsible for
addictions, violence, low self-esteem, poor
problem-solving skills, short attention span and a
host of physical health problems...
Non-traumatized babies, who are conceived and born
in love, display an amazing degree of
intelligence, kindness, common sense and good
health.
As they grow they prove them selves to be good
communicators, peaceful, caring, alert,
self-motivated human beings.
Natural birth does require some preparation
nowadays, for attention to the art of birthing has
been in decline for many generations. In tribal
life it was supposed to be a mother's gift to her
daughter, a natural obvious transmission. But with
the modern day stress level and easy access to
drugs, in the US 95% of births are considered
traumatic. 50% rated as moderate trauma, 45% of
them are rated as severely traumatic.
Our species has an amazing built-in mechanism for
procreation. Our bodies are designed to reproduce
naturally, with grace and ease. To be able to
relax in a bath tub during labor was found
extremely helpful by millions of women. However,
water birth by itself does not guarantee the
degree of consciousness, of non-trauma, that we
desire and deserve. We, as spiritual beings, have
the capacity to experience the transformative
power of birth that connects us with deeper
understanding of life. When a new human being that
did not exist before, enters into our world, the
veil separating our reality from the Great Unseen
becomes very transparent for a short period of
time. This gives us an opportunity to experience,
first hand, the ecstatic bliss of ONENESS with
all, a state in which separation does not exist,
where Love prevails.
When Love is an integral part of the birthing
field, a woman has access to the power of creation
that is working through her. The more power there
is in her field the less force she will need to
use, because Love is a highly coherent field. And
visa versa: the less power she has, the more force
it would require to deliver a baby.
In the beginning every one of us was a tiny infant
- speechless, vulnerable, in desperate need of
love and care.
In our soft, warm hands we are holding the keys to
the thriving of our species! We have the
capacity to enhance the quality of life in one
generation through bringing our loving,
conscious awareness into our people-making
practices. Birth is a powerful initiation, a rite
of passage for all involved, which enables us to
create a beautiful Life on this planet. It is our
birthright!"
