Tanya’s birthing story

Tanya, a mother of two, and a passionate lawyer, accountant, dancer, and healer shared her experiences and perspectives on childbirth. She described her pregnancies and childbirth as anticipated and uneventful, emphasizing her healthy body's natural design for the experience. Tanya chose not to use painkillers during childbirth out of curiosity for the natural process. She believed in her body's capability to birth without interference, mentioning she was open to using an epidural if needed in a hospital setting.

Tanya found the experience of giving birth to be one of the most beautiful and calm moments of her life, emphasizing a state of full presence. She recalled using the memory of her son's birth as a calming tool for sleep, noting its profound spiritual quality. 

I, intrigued by Tanya's spiritual approach, inquired about its influence on her later spiritual journey.

Tanya admitted she hadn't consciously considered it but recognized the importance of being fully present during the birthing experience, linking it to spirituality. 

Both Tanya and I, who share an interest in spirituality, discussed the significance of a positive mindset and focusing on the beauty and ritual of childbirth as a spiritual initiation.
