Let Your Light
Shine in Childbirth

Many people feel the need to fight in childbirth or after it. They feel hurt by the medically managed birth and have a pain which enters the phase of aggression.

Have you thought of the light? How does it fight the darkness? It does not push it out of the way, nor fights with it. It just enters the darkness with its bright and warm transforming energy and the darkness vanishes instantly.

The same is with childbirth. You do not need to fight it. Just enter in childbirth with your positive energy, and fear is no more. If you resist childbirth, you make it painful. This is not what you intended.

Instead seek to transform fears and pain with the virtue of your love. Focus on what you're expecting, on the miracle of creation, on the ecstasy of birth.

Rather than struggling against childbirth, give the best you have to it. Rather than fighting with fears or circumstances, transform them by letting your light shine.
