The Sacred Art of Giving Birth

Mother🌛🌕🌜Moon

For so long I felt uncomfortable being in my body after being violated by a friend, strangers and by those I “loved” who only used or exploited my body for their own personal gain. It took years to work through many triggers and the shame that came with my trauma. Those violations were a big part of why I stopped doing photography as well. I feared my feminity and body due to those experiences and retracted into myself. I was angry and hurt for so long. What was done to me will never be okay, but I don’t have to further fear my story. Many tried to silence my pain and it worked at times, but my voice is for me. My truth and emotions are more than valid. The intention behind what was down will never take away from how it impacted me. My truth is for me. I integrated so much over the years and my sexuality, femininity and body is forever mine to embrace. It’s refreshing to see the beauty of my temple again and the sacred space it is for all the souls that I’ve grown and continue to✨🤰🏼🌸🍑🧜🏻‍♀️🌿🧘🏼‍♀️

There is something magical about childbirth. I wish I could switch out the word pain for strength. Pain comes off as weak or broken, but bringing life into this world is none of those things. Labor and birth are transcendent. It’s empowering and raw. I believe becoming a mother is a sacred act, no matter how many times you may deliver a baby; for each time brings you closer to a newer you. Bringing forth new life into the world is powerful work for anyone to perform. Labor and birth are portrayed so differently through the media and made to be this terrible thing we must go through to meet our child. I believe it to be much more beautiful than that. We forget that we literally hold an ocean within our womb. Each contraction is a wave within our ocean. Powerful, strong and rhythmic. Unceasing. Wave after wave. We often think that these intense waves are stronger than us, but they aren’t, for they are us. We must let ourselves go with the flow. Its as if my child and I are carried over crest and trough, eliminating fear during labor. We begin to let go and allow ourselves to be swept into birth. I surrender myself to the magic of the waves as they follow after one another. My body is harmonizing in synchronization. I’ve given trust to my roots and my body responds, knowing what to do. I no longer fight the waves and allow them to carry us to where we meet. Waves in the sea…flowing like the tide, there is no reason to deny I am Earth. All I must do is let go and before I know it, a new life becomes and is cradled in the arms of Earth; aligning two heartbeats. In the end, as the beginning, we are all of creation. Every birth is all that is potential and new in the world, as well as all that can and will be. They are all truth, all trust, all hope, and all love. That overwhelming and all-encompassing love that we feel in our hearts toward our infant that moves us to tears, is the love ever-present in all of creation. It is the very spirit that holds the universe together. Raw, pure and unconditional Love. It is our reason for being💗🔮 Amor Vincit Omnia~Love conquers all

The day Bellamy entered my life, I rebirthed myself. In that moment of labor & delivery- it realigned me to who I once was, but lost sight of seeing. My path strayed over the years, but he brought me back to me, spiritually. Those waves of contractions shook my very essence to the core. What I‘m about to say isn’t intended to insult those who experienced long or exhausting labors, but I will not deny the beauteous moment I experienced with mine. My labor was short lived & no where close to being compared to the common notion you see in movies. I will start with this though; my 1st son Kaydenn I almost died & was rushed into emergency surgery right after. Bellamy was something existential. I got to experience both extremes through them. With Bell, I barely made it to the hospital for I didn’t know I was in labor. I’m also stubborn & refuse to deliver at my local hospital even though I live in same town. I insisted on driving that 40 mins to my favorite hospital & once I arrived there I had Bell within 10 mins. They told me my water was the only thing keeping him in🌊It may only have been 10 mins to the outside world, but it moved much slower for me. It was honestly so ethereal. In that moment I came to question why is it we fear birthing a baby? Why is it looked upon as some traumatic thing we must endure to experience the purest love? Why do movies & the internet only portray the negative aspects of labor? Where are the others like me? I know I‘m not the only women in the world to experience labor so peacefully. I‘m someone who goes naturally, who doesn’t yell at their spouse or screams during the process. I‘m calm & collective. I breathe in sequence to the rhythmic & unceasing waves of contractions. I appreciate every single surge felt. I don’t resist the waves & go with the flow of my body & spirit. I am conscious. I am clear minded & fully in the moment. I am grateful in labor. I am ABOVE the natural pain that coincides with child birth. I am too present in the moment than rushing the outcome. With Bell, I was in awe of the arrival of himself & the self I looked away from🧜🏻‍♀️🧜🏻‍♂️

Everything about myself-internal and out-

continues to open, stretch and soften

as my baby continues to engage my cervix

doing a spiral dance into the passage;

taking up the space for our cosmic magick.

We will meet between harmony,

working together in womb alchemy✨

Enjoying this one last cycle as one.

One last moon together.

I embrace this fullness & ripeness of my temple

as I await for the magnetic gravity of surges;

the final orbit that pulls me in & doesn't let go🧜🏻‍♀️
