Many people are becoming aware of the basic natural laws of creation in the Universe. My goal is to assist women in using these laws to create more desirable birth experiences.
Part of creating the experience you desire will be educating yourself about all of your options. Your options are what you say they are. If you wish to experience home birth you will find a way. If you wish to have a birth center or hospital birth you will also find a way. Think about who will be there with you. What might you be wearing? What will you be saying and hearing? What are the sensations you will experience? Will you want silence upon the baby emerging? Will you keep the cord intact until delivery of the placenta? What other things do you want for you and your baby?
I want you to take some time and think about what you expect to happen. What do you imagine afterward you would say? The reason for this is when I was collecting stories for my book: Embracing Birth: A Collection of Inspiring Birth Stories I was able to see the amazing power of belief in action. Many times a mother would say “I knew this would happen” “I told people that this would happen”. They may or may not be aware but those things they “knew” would happen did happen because they expected and believed that they would. This is great if it was something they desired, but not so great for things that were bad. Consider thinking things like: I knew I would have a great birth because of all of the love I poured into my baby.
I recommend that you use the 3x a day approach for maximum effectiveness. Morning, noon and night take a moment to create your birth. Your subconscious mind will be overloaded with these amazing new images and thoughts about what you wish to experience.
- Imagine your birth exactly how you would love for it to be.
- Write out your birth story how you want to experience it and read it once a day.
- Write out all of your fears and burn them.
- Have beautiful affirmations written on flash cards to look at regularly and when labor comes to remind you.
- Imagine the faces of the people in your company during labor.
- Hear the loving supportive words they are speaking to you.
- Read positive loving birth stories of other women who have created desirable outcomes.
- Watch videos of beautiful births to help your visualization processes.
- Create a vision board of your dream birth and baby.
- Imagine it in your mind over and over.
- Feel good, smile, laugh and bring joy to the images.
- Affirm your belief in your baby and your body’s ability to work together in harmony.
- Imagine the perfect outcome.
- Have complete faith that this process is bringing you to the perfect end result you desire.
When we take responsibility for our thoughts and for our lives amazing things begin to happen. We are able to experience miracles by having faith in ourselves. You are the ultimate co-creator of your universe and your experience. You can create the labor and birth of your dreams. Birth can be amazing, it can be pain-free and it can be exactly what you want it to be.

Does this mean that a woman who's baby dies in childbirth brought it on herself for not thinking positively enough or pouring enough love into the baby?
ReplyDeleteThat is a perfectly logical question. I didn't write the article but my answer would be Absolutely not! That is a matter of time and unforseen circumstance; living in an imperfect and sometimes painful world. But certainly it does not lie with the mother.
