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.
