"Pay attention to your dreams - God's angels often speak directly to our hearts when we are asleep"

It’s a pretty common experience when we’re pregnant to have intense dreams and visions about pregnancy, our babies, our natural childbirth, etc.  Some of them may not make a lot of sense to us, but occasionally we can experience something really profound that can serve to awaken us to certain truths that we may not have otherwise thought of before.

Well at least that’s what happened for me, when I was pregnant I experienced an AMAZING awakening! A vision came to me that was more unique and powerful than anything that I had ever experienced before, and completely altered the way that I would forever view natural childbirth. It is the reason why I do what I do, and why I am so passionate about giving every child the opportunity to experience the natural child birth that is rightfully theirs, one that is free of fear and all encompassed in love.

Why I Have Decided to Share This Vision

So far I have only shared this with friends and family, and a few of the Mommas in my natural childbirth classes who I thought would actually “get it.” But I haven’t shared it publicly, I guess because of the fear that maybe people would either think I was crazy or wouldn’t be quite ready to except this information. But as we all know, FEAR has to GO! It cannot hold us back any longer!

In the current state of our world right now, with all of shifts and changes that are occurring I feel like this is not the time to delay. That now is not a time to shrink down, hide and be small, but a time to be bold, rise up and free the truths that we hold inside of us! So here goes…

My Visit from a Higher Source – Speaking of Natural Childbirth

One night I experienced a connection with I suppose you can say a “higher source” that came to me and spoke to me about a new group or cycle of souls that are being born into the world right now.

They are of a higher frequency (light children) and they are to be born at a higher vibration.

Their work in this world is very important. They are here to bring light, love, and to harmonize and balance the changing Earth.

Their souls are arriving from a place where they resonate at a higher frequency or vibration, and they will cross over the threshold with this still intact, (if we don’t get in the way and interfere). The biggest obstacle in their way is their birth.

 Will they make it through birth with their resonance and mastery still intact?

The possibility is YES!!! But this is the part that lies in your hands. And let me tell you that the odds are in your favor, as long as you can see birth for what it really is, (a threshold bridging the gap from one existence to the next, a doorway) and to not hide from it and shut yourself off, but rather go into it, open the door and tap into its energy.

The energy at work that brings souls across the threshold of birth to be delivered onto the Earth is pure “God Energy”, or the “Divine Energy”, (whatever you want to call it) it is exquisite and unmatchable, the strongest purest energy that exists. During birth this energy comes through the cosmos and enters into us; flowing powerfully through the birthing Mother and the Child.

When this energy is allowed to flow, free of disruptions your baby will be able to travel all the way through with their high vibration still intact, and will be able to carry it with them into the world. However if the energy is interrupted or hampered in any way, it creates a disruption and sense of chaos in the harmonic  flow of energy and the baby crosses over out of sync with that connection.

In the Absents of Fear…. there is Only LOVE

This enormous energy that brings our children’s beautiful souls through our bodies and into the world originates from source and is LOVE; it is pure, powerful and unfiltered. But it cannot cross the boundaries of our free will, and it is ultimately up to us to choose. We can unconsciously fall from that state of love and turn it into fear, simply by losing our connection and allowing ourselves to interpret this energy in a destructive way. But we have to be careful not to allow that to happen.

Our job is to consciously allow the energy to flow through us while we hold ourselves in an elevated state of LOVE throughout the entire experience.

Will Our Babies Experience Natural Childbirth in Love? It is Our Choice

We can choose to stay in a state of love just by maintaining our connection and by realizing that all of that energy that comes surging through you during birth is God energy which is LOVE. And no matter what, make the choice to keep interpreting it as such and not allow it to turn to fear. 

The Importance of Clearing Emotional Blocks before Natural Childbirth

During natural childbirth every emotional block that has not been released prior to birth such as our fears, anxieties, self doubts, sexual issues, and such will find us during our birthing time. Because that is the time when there is no more hiding from our selves, the veil is lifted, the walls crumble and our inner issues come up.

It is important that you take time to clear out these old emotional blocks so that they do not cause you or your baby any more damage. You must find it within yourself to realize that the experiences that have taken place in your life or in your past do not define you; and that you will not let them keep you down any longer. They are only illusions that keep you separated from really seeing the beauty and truth of what you are. You must rise up within, reconnect with your truths and take a stand that you will not allow yourself or your baby to fall out of that beautiful state of divine love. And that you will soar high above the useless illusion of fear, pain, and struggle and reclaim your truth!

You Share the Experience of Natural Childbirth with Your Baby

Remember that your baby experiences what you do, and is working just as hard as you are to be born. Every cell in a Mother’s body is directly linked to every cell of her baby’s body and they are communicating and working with each other throughout their entire birth.

If you are experiencing fear then it will send a signal to your baby to be afraid and hesitant to be born, but if you are experiencing love then it will send a signal of safety, love and security, and that is what will draw your baby peacefully into the world.

In birth the material plane comes secondary, the most important matter is that we find that personal power that exists inside of us and focus it as love. There is unimaginable strength in LOVE, and when it is embraced in its fullness all else falls into place. And that LOVE is what will guide your baby across the threshold of birth.

Natural Childbirth Should be Approached as the Ultimate Meditation

It is only when we allow our own resonance to be activated that we are able to reach that state of deep connection and meditation.

The overwhelming energy of hospitals, drugs, procedures, etc. can all interfere with our original state of being and prevents us from reaching that direct connection with ourselves. They keep us trapped in the role of the victim. We feel like they are there to help our babies to be born, and it is then that we surrender control, not to the higher source, but to the hospital staff or the medical system or whatever may be in place to help our babies to be born.

When we do that we are looking outside of ourselves for the answer, instead of within. And we are not allowing our personal strength, power and vibration to be active.

In order for our babies to be born at that increased vibration we need to step through the door into the truth of our full potential, and see ourselves as we truly are. We are not small, weak or insignificant. We are part of God, we are Goddesses, and we bring life!

I hope this makes some sense to you. I have wanted to share this with you but didn’t know if you’d “get it.” But I believe that you will, and that you have an amazing gift and an amazing amount of personal power. Call upon that power. Call upon it now while you are pregnant. Work every day on your energy, release dark or stagnant energy and refill with light and love.

I do believe that all of our visions are meant to teach us something. If you feel like this vision resonates with you and that you understand it, or if you’ve had any dreams or visions of your own about pregnancy, your baby or natural childbirth please share your experiences in the comment section below.

For us natural childbirth is a defining moment in our lives. It is said that during birth we truly meet ourselves and for the first time we are given the chance to allow our greatest potential to be fulfilled.

But this is not a journey we travel alone, and as grand as it is for us, just think about what an enormous and defining experience birth is for your Baby!

With all of the nervousness, excitement and anticipation it’s easy for us to get caught up in our own heads with our own agendas about our birth and we sometimes forget that we are merely here for the ride, and that this whole show is being put on for our Baby.

This is our child’s birth and it matters more than we can ever imagine! It is his first step in his new land. This experience teaches and imprints the child deeply.

We should put careful thought into what we want our children to learn from this experience, and what imprint we wish to leave with them. This is not something to be taken lightly, this event will set the foundation for the rest of their lives.

In this article we will explore childbirth from your baby’s perception and discover what natural childbirth means to your baby.

Challenging Society’s Beliefs About Awareness in the Newborn

There seems to be a harmful misconception in our society that newborn babies just aren’t quite full human beings yet, that because they are small, and they don’t talk, they don’t see, hear or move like we do that they must not be capable of experiencing the full range of emotions yet either.

Many may argue that this is not true, that of course we recognize babies as being human!

But if this is so then why would we possibly allow our babies to be treated with such carelessness, disregard and even violence upon their first entrance into the world?

Birth Trauma

This is a video that I don’t like watching, but it is important to be realized. To the medical professionals delivering these babies it’s just another day at the office. But for these poor babies it is a traumatic beginning that will be forever imprinted as their first experience and impression of this world.

Not all hospital births are this extreme, however they are definitely not ideal.

“Why must a child emerge from the quiet darkness of the womb into a blaze of blinding light and loud voices? Why must an infant take its first breath in terror, hanging upside down as its vulnerable spine is jerked straight? Why must the infant be separated from its mother after spending nine months inside her nourishing body?”

~Frederick Leboyer

In an attempt to understand birth from a babies perspective I am going to tell the story of birth and I want you for a moment to imagine that you are the baby, and that this is your birth.

The Average ”Un” Natural Childbirth - The Baby’s Story

Imagine, you are safe, warm and cozy in the womb, surrounded by the familiar comfort of your Mother. Then suddenly your world is pressing in on you from all directions, you hear your Mom screaming and yelling, you feel her fear and it causes you to clinch with fright.

 You are then drugged, you can’t think straight, you are scared and you don’t know what’s going on, you think this must be the end, that you must be dying. You are then forced down into a dark tunnel, and you hear strange voices shouting PUSH PUSH!!!

Then suddenly, you come out into a strange room, with these bright blinding lights and weird machines beeping. It’s filled with strange people. Your cold and scared, and the light makes it hard for you to open your eyes. Your groggy and disoriented from the drugs. People are shouting all around you, “It’s a BOY, it’s a GIRL! There loud voices pound through your fragile eardrums. And you are being carelessly clutched in the gloved hands of a strange man wearing a mask.

You look around for something familiar,  something to explain what is happening to you!

You hear your Moms voice and want to go to her. But instead you are surrounded by strangers who roughly dry you off, then proceed to shove things in your mouth, poke you with needles and run tests on you.

You are crying and screaming profusely but no one seems to take notice or care, they are too busy congratulating themselves for a job well done.

If your lucky you get to meet your Mom for a moment before being whisked away down the hall and into a  room with a bunch of other babies like you, who are scared and crying for the love of their Mothers, but she is no where to be found.

“Oh my God, is this what the world is like?”

 What Kind of Message is That Sending to Your Baby? 

I can’t imagine it sending the message that it is welcomed and accepted, that it will always be loved and kept safe. Rather I imagine it being a terrifying experience, that would make me just want to crawl back inside of myself and hide.

How can we raise confident children when with their first experience we strip them of their dignity?  

Imagine The Alternative - A Sacred, Respected and Natural Childbirth   

Your Mom feels her birthing sensations begin, she takes a deep breath and fills herself with the most peaceful and calm feeling imaginable. She lights some candles, turns on soothing music, or takes a warm bath. She talks to you and lets you know that everything is ok, not to fear, you’re birth will be a sacred event that you will journey through together in trust, faith and love, and that you will be born into a peaceful and loving home. 

The birthing space is being held by the select few who your Mother has chosen to be with her, they are there bringing her comfort, making her feel safe and loved. They are there to honor her and to honor you.

As the natural child birth progresses your Mother does not allow herself to be swept away by fear, rather she soars into greatness and awakens to an inner strength that introduces her to her full exquisite and powerful self.

She embraces the power of her body, and for a moment in time feels connected with the ancestral wisdom of every woman that has gone before her.  She is releasing, opening and allowing her body to lead her.

The walls of your world are tightening all around you, you are nervous and not quite sure what is going on, but then you feel the soothing and calm vibrations that she’s sending your way. You feel her love emanating through you and all around you. You take the leap into the unknown, release and let go!

You ease gently out into a dimly lit room, it is filled with peaceful and loving vibrations. No one is running around, or shouting. It is as if you are entering a holy temple, the space is respected, voices are hushed and peace fills the room.

You are surrounded by the gentle warmth of water or of a cozy room.

You are guided into life and welcomed for the first time into the loving hands of your Father. What an amazing introduction! But still you yearn for your Mother, your only true source of familiarity and comfort.

You hears your Mommas voice, look around and there she is, gazing at you with the warmest smile. You are placed in her arms, you feel welcomed, safe and loved.

Your Mother instinctively offers you her bosom, you yearn for that connection and happily latch on. You are wrapped snugly in her arms surrounded by her love. Your belly is filled with the sweetness of your Mommas milk. 

You feel loved and safe, and so curious as to where you are. You are very alert and spend the next few hours looking around bright eyed and curious before drifting comfortably off to sleep.  You have entered your new kingdom in peace, you are home.

~ Sheryl Feldman

Mothers throughout the ages have shared a very primal connection to creating sounds during natural childbirth.

The act of natural childbirth calls to a sacred and powerful place inside of us that we may not have even known existed before. When we embrace this we begin to witness ourselves acting within our full source of power. Without any thought or preparation sounds begin to permeate from inside of us releasing in a intrinsic expression of hums, moans, chants, song and even animal noises. These sounds create a certain harmonic within our body that helps to release pain, keep us focused, and in general makes birth easier and more manageable.

What most of us aren’t aware of is just how significant these sounds are, or the enormous effect they have on us, our babies and the birth as a whole.

Through the right kind of vocalization a wonderful doorway opens up that can connect us with the harmony of birth and life in a profound way!

In this article I will share with you just how significant vocalization is during natural childbirth, and give you tips and techniques that will help you to use your voice to bring forth your personal power and create an amazing natural childbirth for you and your baby!

To Understand the Significance of Sound in Natural Childbirth You Must First Understand that Everything is Sound!

“In the beginning was the word… or in Sanskrit, “Nada Brahma,” the world is sound”…

I had heard this mentioned in reference to biblical text before, but had never quite understood the meaning until I stumbled across the science of Cymatics, which draws on the principles of the ancient Greek philosophers Heraclitus, Pythagoras and Plato, and cosmologists Giordano Bruno and Johannes Kepler’s theories that all matter is made up of sound.

Since we ourselves are made of matter, and so are our babies I found this idea very intriguing!

“Each celestial body, in fact each and every atom, produces a particular sound on account of its movement, its rhythm or vibration. All these sounds and vibrations form a universal harmony in which each element, while having it’s own function and character, contributes to the whole. “
-Pythagoras (569-475 BC

“What makes us feel drawn to music is that our whole being is music: our mind and body, the nature in which we live, the nature which has made us, all that is beneath and around us, it is all music.”
Hazrat Inyat Khan (Sufi Master) (1882-1927)

 I have to say that these videos, though a bit old are pretty amazing! You’ll be able see with your own eyes matter being formed and manipulated from sound waves vibrating at different rates, frequencies and pulses creating the illusion of solid objects and revealing that…

…“All is vibration!” ––Novalis

The Vibration of Natural Childbirth

During natural childbirth a dramatically increased charge of vibration travels through your body. Not only is the individual vibration of our bodies at work, but we also have the vibration of our baby’s body at work, as well as the power and vibration of birth.

This magnificent harmony of increased vibration is what brings life over the threshold and into the world. How we choose to work with this energy can be the difference between whether birth will be a struggle or an act of magnificence!

In order to have an amazing natural childbirth you must open to this energy and allow it to not only enter into you but to flow out of you.  If this influx of energy is not given a path to release itself it will build inside of us and turn into pain. Vocalizing is one of the body’s most primal ways of providing an outlet for this energy to flow through so that it can maintain balance.

How Vocalizing Effects You and Your Baby During Natural Childbirth

“In the germ, when the first trace of life begins to stir, music is the nurse of the soul; it murmurs in the ear, and the child sleeps; the tones are companions of his dreams- they are the world in which he lives”
~Bettina Skrzypczak

The sounds that are created during birth cause very real physical and molecular change within our bodies.When vocalizing  during birth, remember that your baby is living in a world comprised of those sounds. Do not allow yourself to loose control and get caught up in sounds of fear such as screaming or yelling that frighten the child and can cause physical changes in the babys heart rate, blood pressure and stress levels. Avoid harmful sounds that can trigger pain such as saying OW, instead remain focused and tuned in to your body. Use sounds that encourage calmness, peace and opening.

Using sensual sounds as we do when making love encourages us to release into the intense energy flow of the birth; and sounds like OM, AH, or WOW that require us to open our mouths wide encourage the opening of our bodies.

There is no set way to vocalize during natural childbirth and every woman will have her own unique birth song. The important thing to remember is to try and tune in to the energy and harmony of the birth and match your harmony in accordance.Listen to your body and do what feels good!

For an Amazing Natural Childbirth- Release Your Fear, Step Outside of Your Comfort Zone and Free Your Voice!

The best way to become comfortable with vocalizing during natural childbirth is to practice it often while you are still pregnant. In the local community classes that I teach we do chanting, which is pretty much universally awkward and uncomfortable at first, but once we get into it and we feel ourselves breaking out of our shells we start to realize what an amazing and powerful force we truly are! And then the awkwardness fades and we become very tuned in to that primal force that exist within us, it is then that we become empowered and ready for natural childbirth.

Amazing and Inspirational Natural Childbirth Videos

Here are some great examples of empowered women embracing the sound of birth and vocalizing amazingly! I encourage you to draw upon these videos for inspiration in your practice and during birth. If you would like you can even use this  first video during your practice, just play it and follow along with her vocally. There are also plenty of videos on utube of chants that you can follow along with.

In this video you can see the amazing and beautiful effects of some of these tones. Enjoy!

The magnificence of sound brings forth life, and will  bring forth our babies in perfect harmony! If we can allow ourselves to connect with birth on this very primal level allowing the vibrations to flow through us then natural childbirth will happen like a song!

Childbirth Without Fear – What You Need To Know About Fear And How It Affects You And Your Baby

Natural childbirth without fear is an empowering and often times highly spiritual event where a women learns the natural rhythms of her body and glows with an indescribable radiance…

As her birthing progresses she awakens to an inner strength, and suddenly knows what it is to be a woman…

She embraces the power of her body, and for a moment in time she feels connected with every woman that has gone before her…

As she relaxes deeply and lets her body lead, she knows that she is giving her baby the best gift she can bestow – the gift of a loving childbirth without fear.

In the presence of a woman giving childbirth without fear, people often report seeing a glow of light and color radiating from her.

And the father says he has never seen his woman look more beautiful.

When you birth with love you greatly increase your chances of experiencing a gentle, comfortable and painless childbirth without fear.

If you want to experience childbirth without fear you have nothing to fear but fear itself

I believe that we are introduced to fear in our first moments of life…

When we are born our first impressions of this world remain forever embedded in our subconscious minds…

And later in life, when faced with new challenges and obstacles, we often revert back to those same old feelings…

Feelings that tell us the world is a big scary place, and we are very small and helpless.

We’re ashamed of fear, so we often bury it inside and try to hide our fears from others…

But that is not the best approach if you want to give the gift of a happy childbirth without fear.

It is better to address each of your own fears and uncertainties honestly and directly before going into labor.

This way you can put them out of your mind and allow your true potential as a mother to shine through when the time comes.

When we realize that as women we are beautiful and powerful creatures, and that our strength lies within our love, then we can experience an amazing childbirth without fear.

Effects of Fear on Your Body and Your Baby

Many times complications during childbirth can be directly attributed to the mother’s inability to control her fear.

“When your baby is inside you, your baby feels what you feel”

Your baby’s every fiber is interconnected with yours, and he or she is like a sponge, soaking up all of your emotions.

When you dwell on feelings of self doubt and fear you will be unconsciously sending your baby a message that he or she has a legitimate reason to be afraid of being born.

As well as causing emotional distress in your self and your baby, this can also create harmful physical responses in both you and your baby…

• Your heart rate rises…
• Breathing slows…
• Blood pressure rises…
• And the muscles in your body become tightly clenched.

This is where complications can begin.

Your body is trying to do its job, which is to move and stretch and open to allow your baby to come out.

Your job is to relax and let your body do its magic.

If you are clinched with fear you are actively fighting against your body and creating a struggle for your baby to be born.

Choose To Give Childbirth Without Fear

Remember, you are the creator of your own experience and it is your choice what emotions you focus on and cultivate inside yourself.

You can choose to focus on positive thoughts and experience childbirth without fear.

Focusing on your fear during birth can lead to a self-defeating process I call:

Forgetting that

Everything is

All

Right

Sometimes things are not all right. But most of the time they are…

When you allow fear to take over your thoughts your interpretation of reality can become skewed and create a self fulfilling prophecy.

The more you focus on your fear the more that fear grows, like a snowball.

Then your potential for a painless and calm childbirth without fear slips right out the window.

The Benefits Of Natural Childbirth Without Fear

When you shift your focus away from your mind and all of it’s worries, and focus on allowing your body to do what it does best, you are giving your child a beautiful gift…

The gift of believing in herself.

By cultivating feelings of peace, calmness and love you will be sending your baby the message that she is welcome in our world…

You are telling her that she can feel free to come on out and join us.

“She doesn’t have to be afraid… she can do it, and she is capable of anything!”

In return she will be sharing that same message with you…

“You don’t have to be afraid, you can do it! You are capable of giving life!”

Practical Methods For Overcoming Fear

Here are some things you can do while pregnant and during labor to prepare for a natural childbirth without fear:

Tip 1 – Kick Fear Out

One method to get rid of fear is to be conscious of your emotions and don’t allow fear to take root in your mind.

If fear had a physical form it would look like a thick cloud of black smoke that blocks out the light of your potential and makes it impossible for you to breath.

Exercise:  Imagine your fear as a billowing plume of black smoke burning inside of you that, if left unattended, will soon fill up every crevice of your body. Now take a deep breath and exhale, blowing it all out and releasing it from your body.

Tip 2 – Address your Concerns and Move Past Them

Throughout your pregnancy, especially as you get closer to your baby’s arrival, be conscious of indentifying any fears and questions you may have before they have a chance to take root and affect you and your baby’s well being.

When new concerns and fears come up don’t ignore them or dwell on them.

Instead keep a log and write them down so you can find answers to them later.

This way you can put them out of your mind.

Tip 3 – Go Within to keep Fear Out

If you look deep within yourself you will find the truth that you already instinctively know how to give birth, just like all of the creatures of the earth do.

Even if you have never done it before, as a woman you already possess the ability to give birth naturally.

With this realization you can dismiss many fears that are based on self-doubt and trust in nature and your body’s natural ability.

Tip 4 – Release Negative Energy and Refill With Positive

There are many activities you can do while pregnant to promote the positive flow of energy within you, such as:

• Yoga
• Chi kung
• Creating art
• Walks in nature
• Meditating
• Swimming
• Soaking up the sun…

If you engage in activities that build up positive energy throughout your pregnancy you can open yourself completely during labor and allow all of that beautiful energy to pour out…

Bringing your baby right into your arms!

Childbirth without fear is a beautiful experience that every woman is capable of and every child deserves…

If a Momma can be conscious of holding herself in a calm and peaceful state, she will be sending her baby the message that she doesn’t have to be afraid of being born, she can feel free to come on out and join us, and that she will be loved and welcomed.

When that understanding is reached, birth has the potential to be a magical and miraculous journey for everyone involved.
