If you have given birth, or witnessed another woman travel through the birth portal, you know the power and magic that birth can offer. 

It is said that birthing mothers leaves their bodies and go to the stars to collect the souls of their babies, then they return together. The transitional stage of birth is, perhaps the time we witness this energetic disembodiment best, as the body shakes and quivers under the rapid changes and the primal brain consumes the birth process in full mammalian instinct. From this point on, in a physiologic birth, the mother may appear to be in a trance-like state that dissipates as her baby emerges, and she crosses back through the veil into the Earth realm.

Birth is an extraordinary journey that transforms us all, each time we cross the veil. It is a teacher that cracks us open, exposing the deepest, most authentic parts of ourselves, laying a foundation for us to Mother in power, with confidence, intuition and the innate rhythms that our bodies and babies thrive on. This openness persists for weeks following birth, as we descend from the energetic veil and return to an embodied state.
