I
Believe.....
That
birth is inherently safe. The same loving, intelligent consciousness (All That
Is, Goddess, God, Nature) that knows how to grow an egg and a sperm into a
human being, knows how to get it out. Our job is simply to relax and trust.
Birth is not a function of the conscious mind any more than digestion is.

I
Believe.....
That
the problems women sometimes encounter in birth can be traced to three main
causes:
Poverty
- lack of food and poor living conditions
Outside interference - doctors and sometimes midwives poking, prodding,
testing, drugging, cutting, etc.
Inside interference - primarily fear which triggers the fight/flight
response and shuts down labor, but also shame and guilt
When
these factors are eliminated, most women can give birth easily, either alone or
with friends and family.

I
Believe.....
That
our bodies and our babies are responsive to our thoughts. The best way to
ensure a good pregnancy and birth is to think positively, face and overcome our
fears, and believe in our own abilities.
