Birth video is a special art of its own. To get the glimpse into
the world of the opening door to life. Birth is the opening door to
this world on our living planet. Death is the closing door. We usually
read on the opening door "Push". This is the motto of the woman giving
birth and many birth assistants. Yet the push does not come from the
woman in a natural birth. The push is there within. It originates
from the essence of nature itself and has its own rhythm.
Women are truly the ones capable of birth, because
they can surrender. A birth video is a capture of a special moment
in which a woman surrenders completely to the forces of life and death.
You will ask " Why death?"
Well, in my experience birth and death are closely
related. Your ability to trust your body and the process of birth
are closely related to the ability to embrace and accept the fear
of death. This fear is the basic fear in childbirth. It is very strong,
but if you manage to deal with it, it just releases its intense energy
into great power which can just carry you across the river of existence.
In the moment of birth we are not so much creators,
but we are a channel of creation. We witness the undulations of the
body and nature in a magical wavelike motion of bringing life to the
planet. It is magnificent. And its essence is complete surrender.
Deep humbleness and willingness to let go and allow a greater power
to be in charge of your body in this magnificent moment of bringing
a ripe fruit of a human being to the world.
