Sacred Birthing
“Just as a woman’s heart knows how to pump, Her lungs to fill with air, And her hands to pull back from fire, So her body knows how to birth,”
-Virginia Di Orio
As our Earth Mother created the energy of Hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanoes, we women create the same force when we birth life into this world. We are the gatekeepers the holders to this sacred energy that is so strong and powerful that we are the portals between the spirit realm and the physical realm. It is an honour and a true gift that us women get to experience this wild transformative force within us.
When we can feel the sacredness and privilege it is for our bodies to grow and then birth life we can transmute the fear into courage and honour. Birthing is as natural to women as breathing it is our greatest gift and when we move through it with curiosity and excitement it will have ever lasting transformation.
It is the initiation from Maiden to Mother. It is the most sacred passage a woman would take in her life, it is there when she is the portal between both worlds the vessel for new life. The greatest creation. We are the direct lineage from Mother Earth herself and that is a power only women will ever know and be able to experience.
We have been conditioned and taught that birthing is dangerous and painful and needs to be feared. We are so caught up in that narrative that some women chose pain relief before they have even experienced the sensations of birthing, before they have even given themselves the opportunity feel the power that is happening. We as a collective of women are so scared and fearful of the most natural, empowering, and sacred passage that has the ability for deep healing and transformation.
This does not mean you need to free birth, or have a home birth. (which are both beautiful) You can feel just as empowered and have just as sacred birth if you chose to birth in a birthing centre or hospital. It is not about the external but how you feel and are prepared internally. The journey of labouring can bring you face to face to your true warrior woman. It will show you the goddess herself that lies within you. It is an opportunity to meet yourself in the depths, an initiation for transformation.
In this container we will move deep into the fears and limitations that you may hold around birthing and moving into sacred Mother. We will transmute these conditioned fears into empowerment, excitement and to understand what a privilege it is to be able to birth.
We will learn about the sacredness of the transition from Maiden to Mother and how birthing is the greatest initiation for a woman to journey through. You will also receive ancient wisdom and shamanic practices to be able to use throughout the birth as well as mastering our greatest gift of all, the breath. Learning the techniques and the power of the breath, will be the only tool you need to embody to take you through this profound experience.
