Birth Video Clips

Birth video clips are a new form of birth storytelling. In the past women shared their stories of birth, just like the worrier told about the battlefield victories. Birthing mothers were supported by the elder women and were taught how to trust heir bodies and relax in childbirth, how to breathe and let go, how to manage difficult births, how to alleviate pain naturally. Women learned from each other experience and handled down lore of knowledge, love and tried techniques.

Childbirth was honoured as sacred and the birthing woman was taken cared for and respected. There was a close network of warmth, friendship, compassion and power.

Nowadays, childbirth is medicalized, predominantly happening in hospitals with people the mother does not know well, with hassle and bustle, rushing through routine procedures, treating the mother as an object, rather than as a human.

Rarely there is the human touch, the deep gaze into the eyes, the signs of understanding and personal care. Often a woman feels robbed, mistreated, and unloved at the moment she most needs love, respect, and oneness. I woman at birth needs to feel free, to control the situation, to listen to her body and allow herself to be what she is at the moment.

Childbirth is often a time a woman becomes one with the animal world; she taps the wisdom of the species, the universal law of life and death, the inner knowledge of birthing. When she is free to act according to her primitive instincts, she can access levels in her psyche and body she has not known before. An unfathomable bond with her baby, her spiritual allies, her ancestors and her soul is created. This is a time of satisfaction, fulfilment, self-realization, growth and empowerment.
