The
Miracle of Birth Intuition
By
Teresa Robertson, RN, CNM, MS
Teresa Robertson and I go way back. We first met at the
Omega Institute in New York in the 80's when Teresa was on
staff there. Since then she has become a midwife birth intuitive
- helping women tune in to their innate ability to get pregnant
and influence the health of their unborn babies. I've referred
many pregnant women to Teresa over the years and have found
her approach both empowering and effective. In this issue,
I've asked her to share her groundbreaking wisdom with you.
Unborn
babies are our teachers, illuminating our next areas of growth.
They're specific, compassionate, and clear about their needs
- not to mention hilarious. Babies arrive to us on the wave
of miracle energy. And they're persistent. We feel their desire,
which fuels our own. Our impulse is to use our will to bring
them to us, but sometimes they only come upon invitation.
Every one of us can tap in to a magnetic force that can draw
these babies into our lives. Witnessing my clients clear,
heal, and transform the issues that have prevented them from
receiving these lovely babies infuses my work with joy.
Connecting
With Your Unborn Child
A few weeks ago, I worked with my client Marybeth over the
telephone. She was hospitalized and on strict bed rest for
severe preterm labor symptoms at 27 weeks of pregnancy. She
had experienced four previous miscarriages and was terrified
of losing this baby. Intellectually and intuitively, I knew
that Marybeth had experienced a lot of trauma and loss in
her pelvis, especially on the left side. I explained that
since she was pregnant, trying to clear the pain and trauma
carried a huge risk of further stimulating her uterus. Instead,
we chose to focus on what it was she wanted to create.
Marybeth connected with her uterus, and we both perceived
the need for it to feel safe to expand. With the assistance
of her future baby boy, who reassured her that he was in no
rush to be born, Marybeth infused her uterus with love, acceptance,
peace, and safety, and gave it permission to support life
and to grow. (See Golden Sun Exercise below)
The next day Marybeth told me that her baby had stretched
out in the left side of her pelvis, her contractions had essentially
stopped, and she felt more comfortable. She believed that
the work we'd done communicating with her baby and body without
fear, helped her feel more relaxed and peaceful. As I write
this, Marybeth is at 32 weeks gestation, anticipating that
her baby will be born full term. Marybeth's likely happy ending
is due to her ability to become a participant in her pregnancy
rather than a victim.
From
Fear to Trust
The energy that fear creates in our body, mind, and spirit
affects every aspect of our health. Prolonged periods of fear
and anxiety set off a cascade of stress hormones, which impact
us on many levels. Unmitigated stress is connected with numerous
acute and chronic health disorders, including preterm labor.
I often teach relaxation techniques to my clients, which most
of the time. increase confidence in their body's ability to
carry a child. I've found that filling the mind with thoughts
of trust and peace can subtly and powerfully reset the nervous
system from fear to trust. (This may explain why women conceive
more easily once they stop "trying.") The act of
acceptance, both allowing and receiving, creates a force that
can draw what you want into your life.7
Teresa's
approach is the essence of what I call "yin" power.
It's the power of waiting, and being open and receptive. It's
the essence of femininity. And that's exactly what it takes
to both conceive and carry a healthy baby-or any other creation.
