“All natural birth has a purpose and a plan; who would think of tearing open the chrysalis as the butterfly is emerging?
Who would break the shell to pull the chick out?” — Marie Mongan

.
.
In the hospital, birthing is poked and provoked. “Get that baby out now and free the room for the next patient, time is money! Never mind the body’s intuitive natural rhythm.”
.
The medical system has no intention to diminish the income of their billion dollar industry of drugs and c-sections. They declare that they disapprove of natural or water births and spread fear with disinformation. Did you know that their scientific research cases were not well-controlled? And, were done only among them without the collaboration of experts midwives and doulas? Midwives and doulas are the true professionals when it comes to wholeness—holistic birthing and wellbeing and you deserve to know the true facts.

“Our society has a bad case of chronic “Birth Constipation”, and all our straining and pushing and yelling and forcing the process isn’t helping anything. Maybe we just need to teach mamas to breathe, relax and patiently wait until it all comes out in its own time…” — Lauralyn Curtis

You have the right to know the facts about what else is possible. It is your birthright to chose a conscious delivery and conscious parenting.

We invite you and your spouse to take a moment and read the valuable information found in our Pregnancy Pampering Retreat and Thermal Spa Day Couples Getaway, as well as, the information and watch all videos found here. Then meditate on this together. Go within for the answers, not without.
.
Especially, don’t put your trust in what medical doctors say they are not trained to address wholeness and wellbeing, they are trained for drugs, diseases, and disorders. I suggest to you to write down all your questions and concerns, then call an experienced Midwife. These heart-centered conscious-oriented professionals are mothers too, and understand birth from personal experience, in addition to their extensive ongoing educational trainings. 

If you love your child, which of course you do, do a little investigation and consult with the right sources. SoundWave Yoga’s  Social Network has experts on this topic. Did you know that there are countless researches done that prove that water births are a safe and comfortable experience for both the mother and child?

Obstetrician Ellen Giesbrecht, who’s the senior medical director for maternal care at the B.C. Women’s Hospital, says “Labour in water has absolutely been proven to show better comfort and less pain for mom… definitely beneficial. Less epidurals, less narcotics.” The warm water is said to relax women in labour. And when women are more relaxed, the labour is “smoother,” Giesbrecht explains.

Some research has suggested there may even be an increased risk of a more profound experience, and even a birthgasm. (more on that below)

However, labouring in water and delivering the baby in water are two different matters. Giesbrecht personally recommends having the labour in water and then coming out, or draining the tub for delivery. Those who are squeamish need not apply. The water may get filled with bodily fluids and, in the worst case scenario, poop (which a midwife would quickly scoop out).

In order to be considered for a water birth, your pregnancy also needs to meet certain criteria. “It’s not an option for everyone,” Giesbrecht said. A woman needs to be at term, carrying only one baby, and the baby can’t be breached. There also shouldn’t be any conditions that require monitoring.  (This section is referenced from Patricia Kozicka’s article in Global News)

For the baby—being born in water is less traumatic as it leaves its familiar cocoon of water to enter the waters of this world. It is not true that water births are a risk for a baby to drown, as pointed out by the experts in this series of videos. There are countless studies that prove that when submerged under water babies’ automatic response is to hold their breath. It is by being exposed to cold air that stimulates, or jump starts the infant into the rhythm of breathing. Air is a strange sensation for the newly born. 

The sensation of cold air jump starts the baby’s bodily systems. The sensation of cold air—is what sparks the breath. The child will automatically react. And imagine, that very first breath, of this strange cold substance we call air, feels like burning fire for the newly born.
.
Consider these thoughts. Infants are fragile with sensitive skin and senses, why grab them by the feet, turn them upside down, and slap them to start breathing? An infant does not need to be “hurt” for it to start breathing. Breathing is a natural automatic response.

There are times when a baby will not breathe as expected, remember, if the mother received drugs to provoke the birth the baby is confused trying to adapt to the new stimulants in its body, through the umbilical cord, placenta, and amniotic fluid. In most cases, a mother that is drugged will results in their babies not reacting instantly. An infant should not be smacked to breathe. That is the very first contact this precious being receives? That first memorable “touch” a baby experiences is done by a stranger who’s watching the clock. A person that this little precious being will surely never see again. A newborn’s first “contact” should be done with love and reverence.

Another thing to consider about hospitals or medical centers, infants were floating in a warm and dark environment, have you seen how bright and blinding lights are in these rooms? That intense light too is a tremendous shock to the infant’s system. Babies don’t “see” shape or definition but they do perceive light. Newborns see mostly blurry because they’re nearsighted. Their sight develops gradually over 6 to 8 months. At birth, a newborn’s eyesight is between 20/200 and 20/400. Their eyes are sensitive to bright light, so they’re more likely to open their eyes in low light.

The medical world doesn’t validate the emotional and spiritual life of the mother and the child, and don’t recognize the reality of human values. They are so focused on the physical that they neglect the other aspects of being human, they lack the capacity to work from a holistic perspective. These other aspects are very important, birthing is a heart opening ritual, a divine sacred moment that is worthy of honour and respect. And that magical moment only happens once (with each child). Cherish that bonding moment! There should be very little medical intervention
as possible.

That first “connection” cannot be undone. There are lasting consequences to being hurt when you are a newborn baby, or when you are separated from your mother. It really is a big deal because a child will remember. What happens in the womb, and as the child exits the womb, creates the foundation of the child’s subconscious mind and leaves a detrimental imprint that will result in emotional repercussions later on.

Another thing to highlight. How often do we see people catching infections while visiting hospitals to see a friend or family member that is hospitalized? It happens quite regularly. And, medical doctors dare to point out the risk of infections during water births? There has been very few baby’s that caught infections during a water births, which they have been treated because their parents were immediately responsive. This is a small percentage compared to the fatality rates that has been ongoing in hospitals for both mothers and babies. Fatality in regards to water births are not at all on the same wavelength as the deaths that happen in hospitals. Death due to water births has been documented, true, they have occurred with new parents who did not notice (on time) that something was not right, and did not have their child checked by a doctor, or arrived to late.

This introduction to water births is to help parents understand that they need to step outside the box of conventional thinking. SoundWave Yoga is connected to expert Midwives and Doulas and it is our wish to illumine the fact that it is your human birthright to have the facts.

Orgasmic Births (Birthgasms)

.
.
An orgasm is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of childbirth. But those who have experienced these divine waves flowing through them, will tell you the pain of childbirth can be ecstatic and pleasurable.

A birthgasm, of course, is not like a regular sexual orgasm. It’s a divine state of radiant luminescence. You transcend. A birthgasm is the experience of Kundalini surging up and down the spinal column at it’s purest and most intense.
For some women, their first time feeling Kundalini surge through them, which is why it is difficult for these women to first, know what is this sublime current, and secondly, find descriptive words to explain the experience since they have not experienced that before. Guess what? Birthgasms are occurring much more than what you think.
Not my words, read below.

In the Journal of Holistic Nursing, Australian researchers write that the phenomenon is more common than you’d think—but few women feel comfortable talking about it. “The sexuality of childbirth is not well recognized in Western society,” the review reads. It calls for “greater awareness…of the potential of orgasm as a means of pain relief in childbirth.” Elizabeth Davis, director of the U.S. National Midwifery Institute, kept her “orgasmic birth” a secret for almost 20 years. She was afraid people would think she was crazy. The now 65-year-old midwife no longer hesitates to open up about her experience during the home birth of her second child.

Labor Orgasms and Orgasmic Births are ‘Basic Science’

.
To prove that it is possible to have pleasure in childbirth, Debra Pascali-Bonaro, a Lamaze childbirth educator, a DONA international Doula trainer, a sought after inspirational speaker, co-author of the book Orgasmic Birth: Your Guide to a Safe, Satisfying and Pleasurable Birth Experience, and founder of Pain to Power Online Childbirth Class, has made a documentary Orgasmic Birth to educate people about this potent and profound divine aspect of birthing.

Pascali-Bonaro said that one of the missions of her documentary is to show how the hospital experience should be improved to help decrease pain for laboring women.
.
“If we look at most other countries in the world, women have a lot of options. They’re allowed to be upright, they can move in labor. They can use warm water. They can use balls. There’s so much that they can do that makes the experience easier,” she said.
.
“In the U.S. today, you walk in a typical hospital, you’re put in bed on your back. That in itself makes labor longer and harder and more painful.” A survey was done with 151 women in a small village and 21% of these women have had an orgasmic labour or birth.

International renown founder of the Resonance Science Foundation, Nassim Haramein‘s former partner, Amber Hartnell, gave birth to their son in water and they were shocked, although they had spent many hours planning their water birth in a tub under a tree outside their home, they say they never planned for an “Orgasmic” birth.

.
“All of a sudden the orgasm just started rolling through and rolling through, and it just kept coming, and my whole body was spiraling and rolling, and I was laughing and crying,”  she said.
.
Haramein was amazed and also relieved to see his partner experience such pleasure.
.
“It made me feel like everything was gonna be all right,” he said. “The experience didn’t have to be a traumatic, painful experience. It could be an experience of ecstatic joy.”
.

Even the word Kundalini awakening is misunderstood by a large majority, who associate Kundalini awakening with sexual orgasm, and think that tantra is about sacred sexuality, empowerment, intimacy, better sex, and so on.  Individuals need to learn discernment to be able to distinguish what are the symptoms of a genuine experience, did I have one myself, how to develop this state, and does sex have anything to do with “Kundalini awakening” aka ecstatic states?

A birthgasm is an experience of transcendence. It is the purest and most direct communion with God. Sexuality has a deeper nuance and dimension then what is spoken of in our modern culture. Sexuality is not just about pleasure arousal, nor is it just about procreation, but there is also an indescribable divine union with source that can only be understood by experiencing it. So much is to be learned about sexuality and SoundWave Yoga believes that the Aquarian Age is where this awareness will swim back up the well of memory. Women, we need to gather to pray and bless all waters of the world—within and without.

“What if we referred to the sensations of labor with a word other than “PAIN”? The word PAIN is so small and limited. When I stub my toe, I feel pain. When I eat something that gives me gas, I feel pain. I wish I had a better word to describe what it actually FELT like to birth my babies.—There was definitely sensation. A LOT of sensation. I could feel it. But it was good. It was OK! I even enjoyed it. It was so primal and sensual. I remember saying at the beginning of a surge, “This one is going to be really big…” and it WAS,—but following every WAVE of labor was a WAVE of pleasure and relaxation and love…. I felt so sexy. I felt so warm and soft and open and flushed with excitement. I guess you could say the pain of childbirth felt really…Good… I wish I could invent a new word for it.—The closest word I can think of is POWER, but mixed with surrender, sensuality, sexuality, vulnerability and strength. We belittle women and the birth experience when we refer to it with the same word we use for broken bones and bruises. The pain of labor is Transcendent.” — Lauralyn Curtis, HBCE
