Dr.Christiane Northrup

I am taking part in the Ecstatic-Birth telesummit.  This week Dr.Christiane spoke and shared her experience and deep woman wisdom.  This was a quote from her talk:

”The places where our most incredible power resides are the places that we have been taught to be afraid of, and labor is one of those places. When a woman emerges from a natural birth, when she has been encouraged to sink deep down into her birth wisdom, she emerges from that birthing bed so much more powerful, so much stronger, with so much more trust in her body, that she really can’t be talked into things that are outside of her inner wisdom anymore. She has tapped into something that is transcendent. And that is, not only power of pleasure, but it the power of transformation.”" __Dr. Christiane Northrup

I have witnessed this over and over again with my prenatal/postnatal yoga students. This transformation into her power with advent of the birth of her baby. For example, Cadie said to me, “Cynthea, I had no idea how strong I would feel after the birth of my second baby.  I chose to birth him without an epidural, because of your encouragement. I was so amazed at how elated I felt and how much more alert and present he was immediately after emerging from my belly.  I am so happy you informed me how the outside anesthesia effects the baby.  It was true,  my second son was more alert and active than my first.”
