The way we entered this world leaves deep somatic imprints that shape how we move through life.
So many of us entered this world dramatically…forced, pulled or rushed. We arrived from the darkness of the womb to artificial bright lights, in to the hands of latex gloves and maybe even hooked straight on to machines. Some with the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck and some don’t even enter through the portal of the womb itself.
How we arrive in this world and take our first breath sets the blue print of our life. The body, our breath encodes this moment. It’s the first moment that we claim ourselves in this realm. A rite of passage. How we say this is me and I am here.
It can affect our physiology by showing up as tension around the neck and jaw, difficulties taking full breaths in to parts of the body.
It shows up in how we view fear + safety, how we relate to others, how we express, how we hold boundaries, our emotional tone, how we trust, how we surrender. It feeds into so many of the stories that we hold around belonging, safety and trust.
Every time we take a breath we can learn how to breathe into a new beginning.
Through breath + somatics we can help the body to repattern, unwind, and relearn how to lean into safety, expansion and trust.
Learning about my own birth story and working through these layers has given me such profound insight into my emotional, mental and physical patterning and I’ve seen it transform my clients worlds too.
It’s something we’ll talk about in the upcoming workshop “Return to the Womb” with myself and .divine.aura.doula .dracona
