Today I share about the soulful, biological, and divine role of mother in our embodiment. In many cultures within the old paradigm. becoming a mother was seen as an obstacle to becoming awakened. This reflects a profound separation between human life and the divine. In actuality, motherhood offers the opportunity to merge both. As this capacity is built into our physiology and our shakti. We will deeply explore how this innate nurturing intelligence is held in both our bodies and our sharing of ourselves with others. This is a powerful transmission that can inspire both men and women.   The Soul's Guide to Birthing - Birthing a New Paradigm Book https://www.techoflove.com/books 5 Initiations of Shakti - Virtual Course  https://www.techoflove.com/5inititationsofembodiment

Michelle and Donna Seegers Abler, Pediatric Occupational Therapist, Pregnancy & Newborn Consultant, and Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology Educator, discuss the awareness and consciousness of babies. Donna shares amazing stories from her experience with babies in NICU. Together they explore how birth can impact babies and the implications of some of the protocols and practices within the medical system. Donna provides suggestions for parents to help support their baby in the NICU. Donna also shares about her new book, "Love me In: A Sacred Pregnancy Journal" which reflects leading-edge principles from the field of prenatal and perinatal psychology. It is a beautifully written and illustrated journal that guides expecting parents inward on a conscious journey through reflection, meditation, and heart-based practices. It is intended to empower self-connection to grow and nurture a healthy womb environment, giving babies their best start."As expecting parents, we have the power to go back to our innate spiritual selves and be a part of this bringing babies in, in a more complete way." —Donna Seegers AblerNotes:"In a different paper published by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (or RCOG, the United Kingdom's equivalent of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, or ACOG), they stated that it is possible induction may decrease the risk of stillbirth in older women. Using data from the United Kingdom, the authors estimated that if all pregnant people in the U.K. age 40 and older were induced at 39 weeks instead of 41 weeks, it would prevent 17 stillbirths per year. It would take 9,350 inductions at 39 weeks to prevent one stillbirth, and 4,750 inductions at 40 weeks to prevent seven stillbirths. (RCOG, 2013)."  Evidence Based Birthhttps://evidencebasedbirth.com/advanced-maternal-age/ About Donna Seegers Abler:Donna Seegers Abler, OTR/L, PPNE, earned a BS in occupational therapy from Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, WI in 1984.  She graduated from APPPAH Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology Certification Program in June 2019.  She is a prenatal and perinatal psychology educator and is a trained instructor in Calm Birth Childbirth Program.She has a background in preterm neonatal intensive care unit experience and infant development and combines years of researched-based medical background in sensory integration, reflex integration, neurodevelopment, infant massage, and Healing Touch for Babies with leading-edge prenatal and perinatal psychology,  heart rhythm meditation, and healing practices.Donna has been shaped through her own in utero experience and birth story; through consciously conceiving, carrying and miscarrying a baby; through raising three beautiful and thriving young adult daughters; through an expansive professional career; and through a rich life journey as a daughter, sister, aunt, mother, wife, soul sister, guide, teacher and friend to many. Connect with Donna Seegers Abler:Website: https://www.donnaseegersabler.com/Facebook: @Donna Seegers AblerInstagram:   @donnaseegersablerConnect with Michelle Smith:Classes with Michelle: birtheaseservices.com/birth-ease-childbirth-education, birtheasehypnobirth.com/hypnobirthing-classes-orlando-michelleFacebook:   Birth Ease,   The Birth Ease Podcast,  Birth Ease Baby Loss SupportInstagram:    @birtheasemichellesmith,  @birtheaselossssupportYouTube:    Birth EaseLinkedIn:  Birth Ease Michelle SmithWebsite:  BirthEaseServices.com  birtheasehypnobirth.com Thank you for listening!
