My Body knows how to birth, it is my job to learn how to support it

"I know how to give birth."

But do I understand the physiology behind birth and how to protect its primal nature if others do not? Does my birth team trust in my innate power and understand how to support physiological birth?

'How the women who preceded me gave birth.'

And the advocacy, war and battle they went up against in mainstream standardized care, in the twilight zone, to pave a way of birth autonomy and righteous respect for the hormones of labor and birth we are still fighting to protect to this day.

'My mother, my grandmother, my great-grandmother, my great-great-grandmother,

And so on until the first woman.

I have it etched in my cells.

It's her legacy.'

I HONOR their roars, the abuse, the triumphed battles they won so that I may embody this wisdom.

'My body knows how to give birth.

How it knows how to breathe, digest, engender, walk, speak, to think.'

But I must learn how not to interfere with these primal codings, to protect them and understand their true function to best support it's natural occurence without question or fear.

'It is perfectly designed for it:

My pelvis, my uterus, my vagina, they are works of engineering at the service of the life force.'

I embrace that with this wombwisdom, there is not only one way to give birth.

'I am 'the one who knows'.

And ‘the one who knows’ whispers:

‘Ride the energy of

the contractions as if it were ecstasy,

She-wolf, lioness, hyena,

mare, fox, cat, panther ...'

I embrace the unfolding of my unique experience and harness the holy primal power of flowing with Gods plan, as I open and become anew.

'Find your female power of it and become it.

And being her, almighty mammal, I give birth.‘

You were born of this power, you are safe to harness this power once again to give birth.

We do an injustice by only telling part of the story, so many go into the birth realm with only half awareness of the overall journey and are often shocked to discover the reality.
