Spiritual Pregnancy

I'm a keeper of the feminine essence.
Within me, I carry the wisdom of my ancestors who lived before me.
In me, resides the feminine embodiment of womanhood, of motherhood.
I am her and she is me.
We are not separate.
The feminine journey into motherhood is one of beauty, grace, uncertainty and transformation. Women are creators, and the universe is the wisdom behind it. Becoming spiritual is simply the process of becoming connected to your divine wisdom. Reconnecting to the essence of your soul and human journey.
Who are we?
Why are we here?
What is my role in this world?
What is the meaning behind it all?
Is there an ultimate meaning, or is it just an endless ladder of progressing lessons leading us on an evolutionary journey of conscious awareness?
What is the role of pregnancy on our journey? Is it just an act of carrying a baby? Or is it so much more of a spiritual journey?
The truth that I've realized through my three pregnancies, is that each pregnancy is an opportunity to face new trauma. Traumas we experienced from our childhood and throughout our life that had an impact on our spiritual body. It's a spiritual awakening in its own rite. A rite of passage into motherhood. A passage from the innocent maiden into a fierce and wild mother.
A mother is a warrior of the family, of the home, and the father protects the mother so she can do her work.
Why then, do we not hold more gratitude and respect for this divinely powerful experience?
Why do we carry these perceptions around birth being scary, painful, and dangerous medical events that must be controlled by medical professionals who don't honor the sacredness of birth?
Why, as women, have we allowed the hijacking of birth for so long?
Yes, we have allowed it, and now we must take it back.
Pregnancy and birth is primal, wisdom-centered women's work, not meant to be in a controlled medical environment like a hospital.
Spirituality, to me, isn't a journey to attain any specific enlightened state; but instead, it's a process of letting go of all of the layers of conditioning which are not in resonance with the soul. Our soul, as it is, is a fragment of universal consciousness, of God. So by that understanding, all of our souls are spiritually connected. When one of us holds a shadow, that shadow gets reflected into the collective. And collectively, we observe and experience a collection of all of our shadows.
Learning to shed light on each of these shadows, while not allowing them to become a part of our energy, is a delicate practice of our collective human experience. This is why we can see so many different shadows rise to the surface awareness of humanity, at varying times of history. These shadows rise as the collective consciousness becomes able to observe and alchemize them. Alchemy is the practice of transforming from one form to another. Transforming dark to light.
When we step into pregnancy, this is a women's collective alchemy process. A process of transformation, of the individual and collective womanhood. It isn't just a woman's pregnancy, it's a pregnancy that reflects many of the current shadows of the collective in that time of history. If we look to how we treat women in pregnancy and post partum, as well as motherhood, we get a snapshot of how that society views women and creation as a whole.
In our current society, pregnancy is largely seen as a means to an end. Women are seen as a vessel carrying a baby, and the life of the baby is often put on a pedestal above the treatment of the mother. Our society doesn't see the spiritual nature of pregnancy and birth. It doesn't acknowledge the deep interconnected nature of mother and baby. That they are of one body and energy, not separate entities, just cells of creation.
Our society's ignorance of the spiritual body is reflected in how the medical community treats patients, while ignoring the emotional and energetic impacts. This is so blatantly obvious when we look at the ever growing number of c-sections performed around the world every year. C-sections that are largely performed for the convenience of the doctor, and their ignorance of the female body's wisdom.
As women, coming back into our innate wisdom will allow us to be strong, sovereign creators of our entire pregnancy and birth experience. We are not simply creators of life in our wombs, but we are creators of the reality we exist in. Through our knowledge and trust in the body in birth, we will become less vulnerable to the coercion and fear tactics instilled upon us.
Are you holding fears around birth?
Preconditioned thoughts about the dangers?
Perceptions around how scary it is due to how its often presented to us in TV and movies?
Worries and fear from past traumas?
Now is your opportunity to write a new story.
A story written by you and no one else.
Set up an awakening session with me to shed the light of awareness on your internal limitations and fears holding you back from a fully empowered and liberated birth.
We are in a huge rise of the feminine wisdom, and taking back our power in birth will shift the future generations in the evolution of consciousness.
Birth isn't just a method of bringing new life earthside, it is ushering new spiritual beings to this collective consciousness of humanity.
Love and gratitude
