My controversial hot tip for…

Preparing for Physiological birth.
Share / tag a pregnant loved one who needs more of these kind of friends in their pregnancy

Make FRIENDS WITH
JOY
GRACE
CELEBRATION

Without these we move into a place where either the head is leading the show

So often worry and anxiety are steering the ship

Now yes fear is a very primal and physiological part of birth (more on that incoming), AND with that worry and anxiety may feature - this is the pregnancy training ground where we want to explore those fears, apprehensions and worries.

AND my friend without Joy, Grace and Celebration it makes the seismic deeply soul searching initiation of birth REALLY FU***NG HARD.

The orientation within the medical model of care we are in roots in wildly restrictive and often coercive control mechanics and surveillance methods that are presented as measures for optimising SAFETY. The opposite is most frequently true. These ‘surviellience methods and heavy increasing numbers of screenings are resulting in 2 very distinct and clear pathways;
1. Increased Anxiety, and lack of self trust
2. EXCLUSION OF FUNDAMENTALs that actively support birth physiology- Joy, Grace and celebration AINT EVEN ON THE GUEST LIST - never mind getting into the BIRTH PARTY!!!

To support our nervous system and whole body health - mind, emotions,body,soul we NEED CELEBRATION, we need to BELIEVE in our innate capacity to birth. Celebration that is cultivated In pregnancy that feeds into our RELATIONSHIP with our BODY, our BABY and BIRTH itself!

To support the seismic parasympathetic let down required for our sphincters to open to support perineal tissue health and a whole system release to receive our baby we NEED GRACE - Grace to release to surrender to TRUST in the energies and initiation of birth that is bigger than us thst is moving through and with us into our becoming as mother.

We NEED JOY to cultivate a sense of joy for the life we’re nurturing! for life giving organ- the placenta we are growing. JOY for capacity to literally hold a universe within us and allow that universal energy to move through us to birth our baby and ourselves as mother

Look at the loving collective support and care for this new mother and her baby

Space to honour the mother
Ritual ceremony to welcome in healing and protection for them both

To acknowledge and celebrate the sacred passage and seismic life giving journey thst mother and her baby have been on.

The focus on this - bringing ritual richness, healing presence and community connection in the form of support.

Ceremony, ritual and honouring in this way bring richness and wholeness to our experience. A connection to the earth to ancestors and honours and welcomes the web of support that is unseen and available to us.
That upholds that mothering is
A COLLECTIVE ACT.
To mother in all ways requires support collective holding, gathering, investment.

We were never meant to mother Alone.
