All life on Earth was born in water! Long before the
land became our chosen place to live and thrive, we were creatures
living water. Deep in our genes the southing and loving caresses of
water are still alive! Growing from a fetus to a baby, we lived in
water. The water in the amniotic sac was cushioning any abrupt movement
or sound, keeping us safe and comfortable in our mother womb.
In the same way water in childbirth is the greatest relaxation environment.
Water childbirth allows the mother to feel at home, even in a hospital.
It allows much more space for movement and helps the mother to concentrate
within through the contractions.
Water childbirth is a real blessing. Flowing and breathing
deeply, the muscles in your body relax; you become aware of the softness
of your body and connect to it and the baby.
Water can help you to shield from the outside world
and be within. Try keeping positive thoughts, being more open and
letting the wavelike motion of birth carry you to the other side.
In water childbirth you can create a new space, feel
the energy cascade down your arms and thighs. With each inhalation
you can easily connect to the channels of energy, bringing life.
Surrounded by comforting water, you can experience the timeless beauty and vastness of giving birth. You can deeply personally feel the new life budding in you and yearning to emerge. The water soothing permeates every cell and atom of your being as you contribute to the new life and love.
Let the sparks of water and pure energy reach down
to the depth of your being. Connect with the light within, the female
power in the energy of water and your body. And as you slowly move
and feel the natural pushing within, become aware of a new being born
with your baby within you.
