Podcasts about ecstatic birth

Are you ready to view birth and life in a completely different light? In this episode, we're joined by Sheila Kamara Hay, founder of Ecstatic Birth, as she shares how her healing journey from a traumatic birth led her to reclaim P u s s y + pleasure – and ultimately share this transformative magic with others. We discuss how P u s s y is a portal to God, the importance of finding pleasure in the contractions of birth + life, and how Sheila infuses Kundalini activation into her birth work. Birth is often talked about as something dangerous and painful, but through Sheila's work, we can see how the narrative shifts to one of empowerment, pleasure, and even ecstasy. Sheila and Jenny also open up about how pleasure is a tool we can access at any time – regardless of what's happening in our external circumstances. Whether you're curious about ecstatic birth, Kundalini energy, or reclaiming your sexual power, this episode is full of wisdom and inspiration to guide you. And as Sheila so beautifully says, “God bless the heart. The heart is an amplifier, but your source is P u s s y. If you're not connected to your P u s s y, then what the hell are you amplifying with your heart?” Topics include: Reclaiming our sexual energy Connecting with the sensations of birth Body connection & energy flow Expanding pleasure with breath, sound, movement & visualization Traumatic birth Conscious motherhood Ecstatic and orgasmic birth stories The power of surrender Ayahuasca vs internal psychedelics What is Kundalini energy?

In today's episode we speak with Dr. Sarah Buckley on the science of natural and undisturbed birth. Dr. Sarah Buckley is the author of the best selling book Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering, the author the report Hormonal Physiology of Childbearing (January 2015), and all around natural childbirth expert.  We are honored and grateful to have Dr. Sarah Buckley join us on the Doing It At Home Podcast for many reasons. To start, her book "Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: A Doctor's Guide to Natural Childbirth and Gentle Early Parenting Choices" was a huge influence on us during our pregnancy. Sarah (our Sarah...Sarah Bivens that is) started reading Dr. Buckley's book while we were still planning for a birth with an OBGYN in a hospital. We learned about Dr. Buckley from her appearances in a DVD series called "Happy Healthy Child" (another resource we highly recommend and link to in the show notes.) Dr. Buckley's extensive research and evidence based information on pregnancy and birth, along with her own accounts of her 4 home births left quite the impression on us. It got the wheels turning and prompted us to think about the elements we wanted in our birth. Overtime we found that the best way to experience all of that would be at home. So we're very grateful to Dr. Buckley and the work that she does, because it's like she's been a part of our journey. Dr. Buckley integrates what would seem like differing philosophies at first glance: in the mindset of a medical background, training, practice and care, and natural, holistic, unassisted, physiological birth. Dr. Buckley talks about physiological birth as the type of birth that's in alignment with how the body is designed to work. And low tech models of care support this process. Home birth is an ideal situation to allow for this. We also talk about the core requirements for birth and what a woman needs to feel private, safe and unobserved. And if you didn't know or fully understand the hormonal cocktail that a woman experienced in natural birth, you will by the end of this episode. Want to know what ecstatic birth is? Listen to this episode. One of the key takeaways here is the potential to reclaim power in the experience of birth. That with a healing birth, we can heal the earth!

Can giving birth feel ecstatic? Oh yes! It can even feel orgasmic! And if this sounds too good to be true, this episode is for you! It all comes to rethinking our perceptions of birth and incorporating pleasure and relaxation into the birthing process, which can lead to a more positive and empowering experience of giving birth for many women. It is already known that the negative perception of birth and the commonly-held belief that childbirth is a painful and traumatic experience for all women is a result of over-medicalization and institutionalization of the birthing process. Many women are often left feeling isolated and traumatized after giving birth, with the medical establishment and system setting the tone for the entire birthing experience. The truth is that birth was not intended to be painful, but rather a natural, innate capacity of women that should be honored without intervention. In this episode, Erika introduces the concept of orgasmic or ecstatic birthing, which involves using pleasure, relaxation, and surrender as tools to facilitate a calm and positive birthing experience. Women are hungry for positive birth experiences and can use these tools to reduce stress, fear, distractions, and blockages that prevent them from experiencing a calm and ecstatic birth experience. It's all about creating a different culture around birth that honors physiological birth, reduces the need for medical interventions, and ensures that women have a positive, empowering experience. In this episode: Giving birth does not have to be a painful and dreadful experience. Tools women incorporate to prep for ecstatic or even orgasmic birth. How to start learning to accept and honour your inner capacity of giving birth without any intervention as a woman. How to surrender and shift the mindset in order to experience orgasmic, raw and powerful birth. Let's connect!

Sexuality is often seen as a commodity in today's society, which removes its sacredness. The disconnect has led to generations of people not enjoying their birth experience.   Sheila Kamara Hay shares how letting the sexual energy flow from our bodies as opposed to resistance allows for magnified pleasure. Tune in to learn about sensual expansion and how we can activate pleasure within the body to support the progression of your labor. Sheila emphasizes the power of tapping into our natural design and how pleasure is an innate part of our process. Sheila is an Ecstatic Birth visionary and advocate, training birth practitioners in transforming the landscape of birth from pain to pleasure. A leader in the pleasurable birth movement, she believes that childbirth has the potential to be one of the most transforming, empowering, and enjoyable experiences in a woman's life. Sheila is the creator of The Ecstatic Birth Training Sessions, a multidisciplinary digital program empowering women to create pleasurable childbirth experiences.  In this episode: Sheila Kamara Hay discusses the disconnect between birth and sexuality and how the Ecstatic and Orgasmic Birth movement is working to change that. Sexuality is used as a commodity in today's society and it's important to reconnect it to the sacred. Debra and Sheila discuss the importance of sexuality and how it is often hidden in the shadows, with a lot of shame attached. Reprogram your subconscious beliefs and what we learned about birth through resources such as the film Orgasmic Birth! Pleasure is a powerful tool to nourish your body and support you through the process of childbirth. Sensual expansion is learning to access pleasure from within your own body. This can be done through practices such as breath, sound, movement, and visualization. Our physiology, our anatomy, and our hormonal systems point out that pleasure is an innate part of our process.  Start to connect with your body more to move through life more effectively. Follow your body's wisdom, including mental rational wisdom, primal wisdom, and experiential wisdom. Key Takeaways: Birth is sexual - reclaim the connection between birth and sex Look for images of beautiful births and reflect the kind of experience you want Reconnect sexuality to your body's sacredness Pleasure is not the reward - it is part of the process Your own experience with your sexuality is important when preparing for birth Pleasure supports both the mother and the child during early postpartum days and throughout parenthood Observe the subtlety of sensations and feel the connection Understanding your own body and sexuality can empower you in other areas of your life   Tweetable Quotes:   “Birth is the culmination of the sexual act… We conceive with our sexual bodies, and we birth with our sexual bodies.” - Sheila Kamara Hay    “There are so many reasons, people aren't enjoying the experience of childbirth. But a big one is a lack of understanding of this connection that we are birthing with our sexual bodies. And we need to honor that aspect of our design, in order to be able to birth in ways that feel better, because just like sex can be really pleasurable, or really painful, like birth is the same thing.” - Sheila Kamara Hay    “Learn how to use your sound to access pleasure in your body, to access the sexual energy, to let it flow as opposed to resisting.” - Sheila Kamara Hay    “We are biological beings. And if we just look at our physiology, our anatomy, and our hormonal systems, then we can understand that pleasure is an innate part of our process. It's an innate part of our design.” - Sheila Kamara Hay  Connect with Sheila Kamara Hay Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EcstaticBirth/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ecstaticbirth/?hl=en Website: https://ecstaticbirth.pro/about/ Email: sheila@ecstatic-birth.com Connect with Debra!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/debra.pascalibonaro Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/orgasmicbirth/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/debra-pascali-bonaro-1093471/ Visit https://www.orgasmicbirth.com/ for more information on how to have fulfilling and enjoyable births.

On this episode, we talked about: Empowering how we see our bodies Homebirth and how it works Changing previous beliefs around birth Hormones of birth are the same as hormones of sex Balance between fear and happiness Translate our fear to respect Recognizing that fear is natural Reclaiming the autonomy of our body Feeling deeply into ourselves Women are life-givers Healing birth is healing the earth "Educating about birth as a normal, physiologic process of the body that happens naturally"   "Human beings need the same conditions for birth as all other mammals, so what we need is to feel private"   "We need to see our fear, recognize it, feel it and get rid of it"   About Oceana: Oceana Hazut is a mother, childbirth educator, birth coach, and full-spectrum doula.

In today's episode we speak with Dr. Sarah Buckley on the science of natural and undisturbed birth. Dr. Buckley is the author of the best selling book Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering, the author the report Hormonal Physiology of Childbearing, and all around natural childbirth expert. We are honored and grateful to have Dr. Sarah Buckley join us on the Doing It At Home Podcast for many reasons. To start, her book "Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: A Doctor's Guide to Natural Childbirth and Gentle Early Parenting Choices" was a huge influence on us during our pregnancy. Sarah (our Sarah...Sarah Bivens that is) started reading Dr. Buckley's book while we were still planning for a birth with an OBGYN in a hospital. We learned about Dr. Buckley from her appearances in a DVD series called "Happy Healthy Child" (another resource we highly recommend and link to in the show notes.) Dr. Buckley's extensive research and evidence based information on pregnancy and birth, along with her own accounts of her 4 home births left quite the impression on us. It got the wheels turning and prompted us to think about the elements we wanted in our birth. Overtime we found that the best way to experience all of that would be at home. So we're very grateful to Dr. Buckley and the work that she does, because it's like she's been a part of our journey. Dr. Buckley integrates what would seem like differing philosophies at first glance: in the mindset of a medical background, training, practice and care, and natural, holistic, unassisted, physiological birth. Dr. Buckley talks about physiological birth as the type of birth that's in alignment with how the body is designed to work. And low tech models of care support this process. Home birth is an ideal situation to allow for this. We also talk about the core requirements for birth and what a woman needs to feel private, safe and unobserved. And if you didn't know or fully understand the hormonal cocktail that a woman experienced in natural birth, you will by the end of this episode. Want to know what ecstatic birth is? Listen to this episode. One of the key takeaways here is the potential to reclaim power in the experience of birth. That with a healing birth, we can heal the earth!

When the most common thing we hear about childbirth is how painful it is, how can birth possibly be pleasurable?   Join me today with Sheila Kamara Hay as we dive into what pleasurable and ecstatic birth looks like and how it can happen for you!   Hear Shelia's story about how her desire to heal from a traumatic first birth led her to find the missing link in childbirth…pleasure!   In this episode, we talk about how when women connect to and honor their desires and are supported in doing so, birth can really be pleasurable and ecstatic!   Hear us talk about how ecstatic birth is a feeling state and how it has nothing to do with where or whom you're birthing with…but all about moving towards what feels good moment to moment…and how this could be a transformational approach to how women experience birth.   How would having a practitioner who can hold the tone for a pleasurable, ecstatic birth revolutionize our experience of childbirth? If every woman were granted acceptance instead of judgment for her process and could be supported in what's happening for her, the door would open for birth to be pleasurable instead of painful.   Sheila Kamara Hay is an Ecstatic Birth visionary and advocate, training expectant moms and birth practitioners to transform the landscape of birth from pain to pleasure. A leader in the pleasurable birth movement, she believes that childbirth has the potential to be one of the most transforming, empowering and enjoyable experiences in a woman's life.

From that place of creation we manifest our future and that of generations to come. It is imperative that we consciously birth our ideas (and children) into the world for it is that imprint alone that impacts all of humanity. As conscious beings it is our responsibility to carry forth the torch of enlightenment for the collective tribe.Click here to access your complementary Awakening Discovery Call to explore what is going on in your life, relationship and/or intimacy that is holding you back from living the life you desire.

In today’s episode we speak with Dr. Sarah Buckley on the science of natural and undisturbed birth. Dr. Buckley is the author of the best selling book Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering, the author the report Hormonal Physiology of Childbearing, and all around natural childbirth expert. We are honored and grateful to have Dr. Sarah Buckley join us on the Doing It At Home Podcast for many reasons. To start, her book "Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: A Doctor's Guide to Natural Childbirth and Gentle Early Parenting Choices" was a huge influence on us during our pregnancy. Sarah (our Sarah...Sarah Bivens that is) started reading Dr. Buckley's book while we were still planning for a birth with an OBGYN in a hospital. We learned about Dr. Buckley from her appearances in a DVD series called "Happy Healthy Child" (another resource we highly recommend and link to in the show notes.) Dr. Buckley's extensive research and evidence based information on pregnancy and birth, along with her own accounts of her 4 home births left quite the impression on us. It got the wheels turning and prompted us to think about the elements we wanted in our birth. Overtime we found that the best way to experience all of that would be at home. So we're very grateful to Dr. Buckley and the work that she does, because it's like she's been a part of our journey. Dr. Buckley integrates what would seem like differing philosophies at first glance: in the mindset of a medical background, training, practice and care, and natural, holistic, unassisted, physiological birth. Dr. Buckley talks about physiological birth as the type of birth that's in alignment with how the body is designed to work. And low tech models of care support this process. Home birth is an ideal situation to allow for this. We also talk about the core requirements for birth and what a woman needs to feel private, safe and unobserved. And if you didn't know or fully understand the hormonal cocktail that a woman experienced in natural birth, you will by the end of this episode. Want to know what ecstatic birth is? Listen to this episode. One of the key takeaways here is the potential to reclaim power in the experience of birth. That with a healing birth, we can heal the earth!

I love what Dr. Michel Odent says about our guest: "Sarah Buckley is precious, because she is bilingual. She can speak the language of a mother who gave birth to her four children at home. She can also speak like a medical doctor. By intermingling the language of the heart and the scientific language she is driving the history of childbirth towards a radical and inspiring new direction."
