Pregnancy - A Path to Deeper Connection to Your Whole Self and Your Baby
By Julie White
I
n my practice as a kinesiologist and birth doula, I’ve found that the experience of pregnancy and birth presents a beautiful opportunity to evolve physically, spiritually and emotionally and because of this, a healthy pregnancy and birth are relative to the individual.
There are countless books and blogs and classes attempting to educate a new mom on the steps to take for a healthy pregnancy and birth. Some of these resources are wonderful and insightful but they can also be dogmatic and leaving her feeling as though she has to do things in a particular way in order to experience health and vitality with her pregnancy and birth. The truth is, a woman already “KNOWS” deep within, what she needs to be healthy and happy during pregnancy. She and her baby “KNOW” how to give birth. Working with this innate knowledge that has been past through the ancestral DNA is the key to staying connected to herself and her baby during this time and having the best outcome in her experience! My biggest advice to new mommas is to slow down during this season, get in touch with that inner voice that is already there and stay in flow and in rhythm with her, consciously aware of herself and her baby, working as one perfect organism.
