First you need to ask your mind to move out of the way.

For many of us we carry so much junk into our births. A lifetime of birth images shown on screen, an adult life of terrible birth stories from people we know and for some, our own previous traumatic birth experiences.

We are told so often that our body knows how to birth, and I believe this and I’ve seen this. But one thing I know, is for our body to know what to do in birth, first we need to ask our mind to move out of the way.

And how do we do this? It isn’t as hard as it sounds, but it might take time to understand.

And because we are all different, the way we do this will differ from woman to woman. It might be talking it through, identifying and examining our triggers and fears, and actively letting it go. It might be re-writing those old stories that our mind holds. It might be filling ourselves up with positive birth images and phrases. It might be a combination of these and more.

When our minds get out of the way, our bodies are free to birth the way they know how. This is possible, this is attainable, this is beautiful.

What have you done to process what has been going on in your mind to clear a path for your body to birth?
