You deserve to be supported and respected, my sister. The kind of support and respect that leans into your deep moan with you, the kind of support that replies in that same deep and soft sacred language... ""Mmmmmhmmmm.... Just like that" I have never gotten the chance to put into words what this sacred labor language did for me, in the empowering moment of birthing my first baby. Sunshine Tomlin, My earth angel midwife stood near as I had taken my first dip into the birthing tub, I was getting the feel for these waters, of the tub, of labor, of this very new and uncharted experience, I was wading in very unfamiliar water.. where suddenly I found myself comfortable and in a deep trance.. a moan, a deep and long grunt like moan escaped from my throats chakra and just after I was met in reply with closed eyes and a slow head nod, then the words.. "Mmmmmhmmmm.... Just like that" And Right then, I KNEW. We were speaking the same language! I must be doing something right because she understood what I said when even I was unsure how I was articulating this expression. The language of labor is one that every mother innately & intuitively knows how to speak, it is when we are HEARD and UNDERSTOOD, respected and TRUSTED; We feel truly supported by our birth team This makes ALL the difference in the birthing realm for women today, how we treat, speak and LISTEN to them in this sacred state of labor, makes all the difference. How are you speaking to your sisters? ARE YOU LISTENING TO THEM? Are you supporting their intuition? How can we change the way we are trusted, treated, spoken and listened to today in such an important moment of this journey?
