Sitting by the river talking to the fairies
Lots of antenatal education talks about the links between birth and sex, our mammalian brains, nature's design, relaxation, privacy, pleasure, comfort, oxytocin. This is all perfectly true, is something I share with women and families, and I am so glad people are finding out about this truth.
For me, I view birth and sex in humans as also serving to evolve consciousness. This is what makes humans fundamentally different from animals when making love or birthing. The two acts are what connect us to animals but are also what connect us to the divine. I once read a book by Jean-Yves Leloup that said 'humans are the bridge between animals and angels' and it resonated so much with me.
Giving birth and making love at the highest vibration are transformative spiritual experiences. The higher levels of consciousness require an ego surrender - and the ego doesn't often give up without a fight! Many women are shocked at the strong emotions that giving birth brings up in them as they experience the painful, healing, humbling surrender that is giving in to the birth experience.
Where birth education and hypnobirthing often get it wrong is that the goal is not a perfect, calm birth. It's overcoming our own inner resistance, walking through the fire and allowing ourselves to surrender and be born anew.
