Dealing with Labour Pain and Birthing the NEW...

​Mental Note to self...
Labour pains are part of the process when birthing something new...
There is not something wrong with me when I am in the depths of integrating my pain.
In order to feel it, I must go into the cocoon and honour my need to sit in the lonesome darkness, trusting the process...

The more I allow, surrender, trust and honour myself. The brighter and stronger my wings will be. Discomfort and unfamiliarity happens when the process of life begins to strip away your comfort zone. Growth comes at this cost...and to know it on a head level is very different to experiencing the pain of change. Emotional pain become physical pain, science has found that it registers in the same place in the brain.
 
Perhaps the best analogy is the gift of life itself. The pain begins with penetration and the release of the seed. The seed is  released into the womb or the soil of mother earth, nurtured by fluids to soften the walls and boundaries. In the dark, the flow of life finds it’s own rhythm. The seed is left to find the light and evolve in a process that is unique to that seed, it’s environment and the path is largely unknown. Often walls that you have created to protect your inner world need to be demolished and an opening created. The container that once kept you safe, is too small to hold the new life contained within. Being brave is not controlling the process but trusting in the unknown for the first time mother.
 
As a pregnant woman sheds her original shape to nurture this new life, there is pain, there is discomfort and shedding of identifying with the purely physical side of the process. The mother needs to trust that she is enough to be the vessel of the new life and continue to nourish herself so in the process. Patience is needed in the growth cycle whether it is embryo to baby, toddler to adult, caterpillar to butterfly.
Suffering comes when I attempt to bypass pain.
Just like a cocoon that is cut open before time...
Pain is the point of purpose, building strength and expansion.
Whilst we are wired to avoid pain and seek pleasure, pain has it’s purpose as it brings all levels of consciousness, physical, emotional and mental to the present moment to let you know that something is changing.
 I am on track...I am expanding, nothing that I love ever leaves the space of the infinite.
Physically shapes may shift and change form but energetically we are all one.
 
Don’t be afraid to mother yourself and come home to the pain. It is temporary, it has purpose and if it felt with presence, it will pass. New doors are opening and you will transmute to create the new. We either choose to feel the pain as it shows up to be healed...or we deliberate and extend our suffering.
 
This process only makes sense in hindsight. Like the joy of child birth, labour pain is accepted and the joy of new life creates an intense awareness of what we had to sacrifice to bring in the new.

Whatever it is you want to give birth to, Pure Consciousness can assist with the management of pain through the process.
