all things birth
'all things birth'...
...Sometimes I look at myself as 'this' or 'that' - and I see a creative, birthing reflection that is an aspect of 'me'. But not all of me. I am many things, good and bad; right and wrong.
As a creator, I birth ideas, stories, ways of living and loving; relationships, drawings, music and poetry; a home for myself, a garden.
We all create, we all birth things and all things birth...
I know an aspect of myself through supporting a woman with creating and birthing 'things': ideas, safe environments; trusting relationships; babies, lol... I support women with 'reproduction' so that in her own power, she can conceive; she can create, she can birth...
I view myself as teacher and student in that I have been given knowledge and the opportunity to explore how SoundBirth & HypnoBirth & body movement can facilitate a birth; I have been trained in the art of Reflexology; Reiki , 'Tapping'; and spiritual mothercraft - and have watched as these strategies are used to support an empowered birth - of all things.
I'm also a Storyteller (we all are) and through story we can counsel ourselves and each other, exploring who we are; what themes we embrace; and how to nudge them in a positive direction - so as we prepare for the birth of a child, an idea or a way of living, we gain insight - to get it 'right'.
Sometimes, life leaves us tramatised - and when it comes to birthing our bubs, even with the best intentions, many of us leave the birthing space confused, disheartened, incapacitated... Sometimes, when we birth our babies, we also birth a dark forboding, a life that leaves us struggling, an aspect of ourselves we never knew existed... and in order to move on, we need to rebirth - birth a community, a network of support and share and be counselled. Sometimes, we need to birth the story, no holding back - and have a good look at it.
I believe in the saying 'better out than in'. Cuz ALL things birth, good or bad; right or wrong. And you want to be the creator of the 'good stuff', the one who takes the reins and births a better future, for yourself; for your children; and your children's children...
