Today, it seems that a tradition of womanhood that properly belonged to women themselves has been replaced by a tradition of technology.
Natural childbirth has evolved to suit the species, and if mankind chooses to ignore her advice and interfere with her workings we must not complain about the consequences. We have only ourselves to blame.
Birthing is the most profound initiation to spirituality a woman can have.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
Women's bodies have their own wisdom, and a system of birth refined over 100,000 generations is not so easily overpowered.
300,000 women will be giving birth with you today.
Relax and breathe and do nothing else.
Labor is hard work, it hurts and you can do it.
A healthy woman who delivers spontaneously performs a job that cannot be improved upon.
