Childbirth video is sometimes a contradictory issue. Some women
want to see how others have given birth to gain reassurance and get
rid of their fears. Others see them as too intimate and do not think
it is proper such an experience to be shared with others openly in
directories like YouTube or Google Video.
Both, however, sense the innate sexual nature of birth.
A childbirth video presents a very instinctive primitive part of our
nature. It is beautiful, in the way wild nature is beautiful, but
also frightening. In the civilized world we have learned to be cultivated
and presentable. This unconscious animalistic part of ourselves is
hidden, caged and thrown away.
Explore your attitude to a childbirth video. You might
discover attached to it some fear related to your innate nature. Being
human, we are nevertheless, connected with nature. Going far away
from the other mammals in our intellectual development and giving
up a lot of our instincts, we still possess them.
Natural birth if experience in its fullest makes us
aware of our animal nature. It is deep, powerful, empowering, awesome
and frightening.
Overcoming our fear of childbirth is closely related
to accepting the darker parts of ourselves, which are also glorious.
If we know how to celebrate them, allow them to be as they are and
confront the public fear of our essence, we can regain a great deal
of our power, and extend it beyond childbirth into many of our activities.
I wish you a happy childbirth and courage. Find it
within and manifest it outward.
You can make miracles if you build your inner strength
with keeping yourself fit through pilates
in pregnancy, yoga, belly dance and anything that makes you celebrate
your body.
Also, when you tune to your best birthing
option, consider the different choices available.
