Are you Pregnant? Must see links for pregnant women
Pregnancy, childbirth, natural childbirth, water birth.
Below are some excerpts from the following links, movie clips, books trailers all of which are must sees!
“Hospitals are big business. Decisions are being made for monetary and legal reasons not because they are good for the mother and the baby.”
“Basically what the medical profession has done is convince the vast majority of women that they don’t know how to birth” < --A primal innate ability! "If I could do that I could do anything and to me that is the power of birthing and that is what we are taking away from women."
Take away a women's right to birth her child naturally and you also take away the responsibility that goes along with caring for a child. The easier the process the less attached we are to the future. "Nothing compares to the privilege of giving life and responsibility of that. Nothing."
You go to the hospital when you are sick of injured. Pregnancy is not a disease, sickness or injury, but a natural right of passage for both mother and child.
"It wasn't an illness, it wasn't something that needed to be numbed. It needed to be experienced."
"Spiraling, the actual physical spiraling motion of the body that exists in traditional dances around the globe...it reflects the primal basic motion of the energy flow in our universe...In childbirth conscious surrender to that vortex of energy brings an experience of profound grace."
"I had so much energy that would collect in my hips that all I could do was spiral them because it could be translated as pain. I felt that fine line where I had a choice, where I could translate this sensation as pain or pleasure. And I just kept moving it through which kept it as pleasure. I was actually purring through what they call contractions but in no way did I feel contracted I felt so expanded. And then after the purrs they just kept coming and coming and I felt softer and softer until I felt them coming through as golden orgasms to the point where I was crying because the energy was so amazing."
