Vaginal birth video clips are special tokens. They are a new type
of messages. They speak not to the mind, but to deeper parts of us.
Reading the comments about them we can clearly see two tendencies.
There are those, who are in awe, who are inspired, who admire the
natural birth process. And there are those, who say it is ugly, repulsive,
not civilized and should not be public.
Yet we are all viewing
vaginal birth video clips from the vintage point of our experience.
If we can be true to ourselves, and go deeper, we will see that our
reaction is not to something outside, but to something inside. Being
afraid of the natural process of birth is a sign of feeling the insecurity
of the process to succumb to power greater than the mind. Birth is
incomprehensible and incontrollable by the mind. Having evolved so
much, we are afraid to be again less than thinking, less than rational,
practical, in control. We are afraid of the unpredictable. Birth is
in itself unpredictable when natural and spontaneous. We can plan
it and attract the best possible experience we can imagine, but it
comes and is unique. We cannot command it. It is just an extension
of the growing of the baby in the womb, which we could not command.
Yet, we trusted it and gave it our best hopes and faith.
Birth is not different. It is an automatic vegetative
process, in which the mind has a little role. But being human the
mind wants a share of every experience. The best thing we can do is
to let it know that it is safe and the process is perfect as it is.
To calm down our thoughts and just relax, to let nature take over
and do its part.
It is great to experience the might of nature at this
moment, its strong grip. A woman in a vaginal birth is like a sea
shell in the ocean. The waves are strong, undulating and we are just
floating into them.
I have selected among many vaginal
birth video clips this one. Watch a woman giving birth at home
with the help of a midwife. The video clip shows birth as it is -
a completely natural process. The birth is quick and beautiful and
easy. The mother follows the flow of her body to push and relax and
her breathing shows the progress of labour.
