Women have been birthing their babies naturally for thousands of years by trusting their body and inner knowing. We are designed in such a way that we are able to cope with the sensations of labour and birth through the release of endorphins which work to ease the intensity of contractions.
Birth these days can often be controlled by the medical profession and in some cases where women have a challenging pregnancy or a complicated labour this can be an absolute blessing, in most cases though women are able to birth their baby normally without intervention as nature intended.
If we tune into our body’s wisdom and trust the natural birth process by actively participating in our own labour, it can be a very empowering and extraordinary experience. Being spontaneous with positions, movement and voice will bring a sense of effortlessness and freedom to our rite of passage of birth.
May you birth with ease and joy and glory…
