Do you ever wonder what it would be like to give birth under your own power?
Your own glorious, womanly, goddess-like power.
Unadulterated, unrefined, unaltered feminine strength.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to reach deep within?
To the very core of your being, your essence, your very soul
And know that you are strong, wise and made for this task.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to trust without reservation?
To believe in your body, your baby, your inborn wisdom.
Birthing in harmony with women across the world in passion and faith and wholehearted surrender, knowing that you are the manifestation of Mother Nature's great design.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to labor surrounded by those who adore you?
Only your family, friends and cherished companions.
Buoyed, lifted, supported by a communion of hands and hearts and minds.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be honored in birth?
To be a part of a community that respects your choices, accepts your path and blesses your way.
With shared insight, total confidence and ultimate faith.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to labor without inhibition?
To moan and sigh and dance and dream.
Responding to your body's intuitive knowing: unreserved, unrestrained and totally free.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to give yourself over to the forces of birth?
Stretching, expanding. spiraling to the edge of the universe.
Knowing that you will always come back, centered and aware.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to relinquish yourself to the duality of birth?
Animalistic and serene, primal and still at the very same time.
Allowing yourself to be whatever the moment demands, because the moment is bigger than you and it is you.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to deliver a baby into an intimate cocoon?
The safest haven of peace, respect and trust.
Secure, protected, encircled with love.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to bring a child into the world in ecstasy?
In a state of natural, blissful, out-of-this-world elation.
In rapture, divinity, earthly delight beyond all comprehension.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to bring your baby from your womb to your arms?
Your own hands lifting your baby to your heart.
Touching, caressing and embracing without disturbance or policy or timelines to alter your first magical moments.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to give birth under your own power?
I did. And I did.
And I will again.
Soon.
