Conscious Birth
The birth of your child will resound throughout our society. Birthing
and social conditions reflect each other. When there is a shift
in our relationship to birth there will be a parallel shift in
our overall quality of life on the planet.
Present day birthing conditions are indicative of the way we live.
They often include physical constraints, numbing medication, and
cesarean operations. These methods, often for the convenience
and protection of the physician, distance parents and children
from directly experiencing the power and beauty of birth.
Children need to be born, naturally. Our entire physical make-up
and psychology is greatly affected by the birth process. When
a man and woman takes responsibility for the birth of their child,
they are making one of the greatest social changes that one could
make on our planet.
We need to think about this. We put the responsibility in the
doctor's hands, The doctor, avoiding lawsuits, is not often acting
in the best interest of the child. The labor is a forming of an
essential bond between parents and child. Drugs and shortcuts
are wise to be avoided in the healthy situation.
When parents-to-be take responsibility for the delivery of their
child, they take a giant step toward the transformation of our
world. That child has a chance to develop properly, with a relationship,
a deepened bond to the parents. Parents willing to face the pains,
trials, and joys of natural birth and parenting are birthing a
healthy world community. |
