When my heart opened to have a second child, I never imagined what life-transforming gift this "little" being would bring.
I started my preparation for her birth much the same way as I did the first time; reading, meditating, & visits to the OB. Then I heard the Baby Soul nudge me in a different direction... homebirth... and then once I was comfortable with that change, another nudge came... painless childbirth.
Imagining a gentle genesis of this unborn child was a dream I had no idea how to realize.
I came across people who believed in me, people who assisted me in processing my fears, people who supported me, and I came across a part of me that anchored me in my own power.
Having the strength to believe in a homebirth when my network, including my husband, could not understand was mind and life-altering. I came face-to-face with my fears, my husband chose to enroll, and my choice rocked my world.
I prepared for love and I received peace. I opened to the unknown and I got divine love. I desired empowerment, and the Universe gave me the Birth of My Life. I chose to hear Baby Soul's voice and she gave me the purpose of my life. What a Peaceful Beginnings for both of us!
She entered gently into this world, and the sweetness of her eyes filled my heart, and changed the way we saw birth, life, death, and our bedroom (where she was born!)
I interviewed someone today who said, "Peace begins with a peaceful birth". I know this is true because the day my sweet Sarada was born, I touched the face of the Divine and It kissed my soul.
I am forever changed by the sweetness and power of birth.
