How can we ever know how powerful our bodies are if we do not trust in their abilities, to create, to birth and to heal!

Each one of us are limited by our own self belief, our own self doubt. Doubt that has been put on us, down through generations. When we were told that we needed to listen to others over ourselves.That in order to really gain knowledge we had and still have to follow the 'experts'. We have to be able to prove our point by referencing some one else's point of view.

This huge shift away from self, leading us away from our inner wisdom and putting the focus outwards, directing us towards others to solve our problems and give us all the answers.

The very first step towards any healing needs to start with self. Self acceptance and self love. No one can do that for you, no one can make you accept who you are, who you have become, just like no one can make you love yourself. So many people do not realize this and as a result push the responsibility of their health onto others. This is a lot easier than taking a look at where you are in your life, than taking responsibility for the way in which you have been living your life. We need to take so many different factors into consideration when we look at the state of our over all health. Yet we have come to expect a quick fix when we become unwell, treating the symptoms instead of getting to the cause of our illness.

Seeing a fever as a cause for concern, instead of the reality that our body is actually working to heal itself. The rush to bring a fever down is actually stopping our bodies own ability to heal. So many have lost faith in their own bodies ability to heal itself and it seems to only be getting worst.

The reality is that so many people would rather take poison that actually take responsibility for their own bodies, for their own health. Because it is more convenient and because they have come to believe that the only way for them to improve is to consult with others. There is no need any longer to listen to your own body because you can now go and see and 'expert' and let them tell you what is wrong and how to fix yourself, a quick fix that is. No body wishes to experience pain, so instead of sitting with themselves and taking the time to figure out why this pain has arisen, we numb it and ignore it and continue on. All the while ignoring our bodies call for attention.

One of the most natural things that all animals in the world do is to create life and then for the females to carry that life and birth it. It is a sacred act as old as every living being. It is something that women's bodies are made to do, are very capable of doing. Yet it is fast becoming a medical procedure for humans that is being interfered with and is now becoming harder and harder for women to do naturally.

Obstetrics is the highest paid medical profession in the world. Once a woman now enters a hospital it is becoming more and more unlikely that she will experience a natural birth. If her labour is not progressing fast enough for the hospital staff, she will become induced, injected with a synthetic hormone to speed up the birth. But this injection causes the baby's heart rate to increase and from there follows an cascade of interventions that can end up in a Caesarean section.

On top of this the mother no longer produces the hormones she needs to birth her baby, as this synthetic hormone confuses the body and stops it from releasing it naturally. This has huge effects on the mother and baby. Both the mother and baby undergo such a elaborate dance, a dance that has been happening for thousands of years. Yet today that knowledge that natural dance is being pushed aside and we are taking away one of the most natural and empowering acts from women. So many women are misinformed about birth. They do not believe that they could possibly birth without medical intervention. They feed into all the fear that is being put onto them.

Birth is a sacred act, it is something to be respected and honoured. In order for a woman to birth naturally, she needs to be able to listen to her own body, to listen to and communicate with her baby and to be in a safe and secure environment. She needs to be healthy and happy, to take responsibility for her own health and the health of her baby. When this happens then she will become more empowered.
