The midwives help clean up and care for the family for several days. Using the beauty of the moon itself is a way to for women with past abuse to get to the place inside themselves where there is no more fear, shame or insecurity. Find a dark, quiet place, and look at the moon, and feel the rich night air fill you with cool quiet and gentle wisdom. Swing your hips in long low circles, keeping in tune with the earth under your feet- under bare feet, if climate permits it. Sing and dance with the moon, in low hums, and in utter, dark privacy.
Humans only have a dim understanding of the true origin and meaning of the moon.
Resexualizing birth means bringing sacredness into a realm where there has been so much crass mechanization and abuse. My book focuses on healing birth through protecting and celebrating female sexuality, exposing how harmful medicalized birth really is, and examining the touching spirituality that flows through pregnant women and their unborn babies in their birthing times.
