NATURE KNOWS

• We did follow nature . . . . not direct it . . .

• Honour, sacredness, respect, holiness . . .

• We were all born . . .

ECSTASY IS . . .

AACMAC 2010

We live in context

• This now and this place is NOT the way any other humans have been . . .

• Whether it is TCM or the sages . . .• Whether it is fear or trusting birth . . .• Whether a disease or a scared model ruled . .

• What DID the women do?Did they even consult men?

AACMAC 2010

TRUSTING BIRTH

AACMAC 2010

WHY DO WE NOT?

• Even as far away as 30 years ago no one would be silly enough to do what is now common place – over-rule the wisdom of the body . . .

• Where are the stats to show birthing with scanning and equipment and all mod cons is SAFER than as it was – when women birthed as that was the only option?

AACMAC 2010

Shen directs the being . .

• Expectation . . . .• MUM . . . Healing how?

What does nature expect . . .• Safe secure, support – and the rest is pre -

programmed – we have a mammalian body that is DESIGNED for this.

• WHY DO WE BREAK IT – as though we know better?

AACMAC 2010

HOW DO WE HELP?

EDUCATEOFFER CHOICES

NOT BUY INTO ALL THAT IS NOT NATURAL OURSELVES . . . . hence vaccination/SIDS scares, all ways of un natural mammalian parenting are transitory and are

GRAND EXPERIMENTS . . .

THIRD STAGE

• Don’t interfere – at all . . • (Only 5% of women really need help – the rest

need support from a doula/someone who KNOWS birth – not the mechanics . . .

• Initiation into women’s mysteries – how to mother comes as a consequence . . . not the PHYSICAL – birthing is a women’s act . .
