Autumn Equinox Blessings for those in the northern hemisphere 🍂🍁🍂

On Saturday we had our Birth Wisdom Circle and I've been reflecting on my word that I left our circle with and that word was 'trust.'

Each month I try to surrender and trust that whoever needs to be in circle will be there and even though I have moments of doubts I am always in awe of who ends up popping up last minute and how the circle forms.

We only had pregnant mums attend our circle which was exactly what was needed for the day and magic was woven as each woman was able to share where she was at in her own pregnancy and birth preparation journey. Each on their own very unique paths and yet able to connect and hold space for each other with curiosity and respect.

I'm always so grateful to be able to hold these spaces and be a witness to each woman’s deep reflections as well as beautiful connections being made.

And as we walk through this threshold between seasons I find it can be helpful to take some time to reflect on what is happening for you right now.

Here are some reflection questions you can use for your own self-enquiry;

🍁 What blessings can you acknowledge, that will sustain you through this upcoming winter?
🍁 Which current activities or areas of your life are depleting your energy? and how can you make small shifts to let those go or conserve your energy?
🍁 How can you invite a little more softness and stillness into your life as the seasons start to shift?

As I write this I'm also sitting down to prepare for the Irish Birth Movement Autumn Equinox Gathering which is this Saturday. I'll be co-hosting this with and Leoni and I'm really looking forward to gathering with more incredible women to honour this shift in seasons, tend to ourselves and reimagine birth.

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead and many blessings,
Jenni 🧡

To be sovereign is to stand rooted in your own authority and to live from the truth inside you by honouring your body, your baby and your family’s needs above external expectations.

Birth sovereignty is not about a particular setting or outcome. It is the deep knowing that you hold the ultimate power in your choices, whether at home, in hospital or anywhere in between.

These beautiful quotes share sovereignty as being about belonging to yourself, embodying your integrity and remembering that every woman has the right to walk their path with courage and clarity.

In Septembers Birth Wisdom Circle, we’ll gather to remember and awaken that quiet, steady flame of sovereignty deep within us. Through meditation, journaling and sharing we'll reflect on how to nurture and embody that flame so it guides us through pregnancy, birth and motherhood’s ever unfolding journey.

🌿 I’d love to know in the comments, what does sovereignty mean to you in birth or in motherhood?

Embodied power is standing rooted in self-trust, knowing that you don't have to conform to societal expectations. It's honouring your intuition and choices to be able walk your path with clarity and courage guided by your own inner compass.

In this circle, we’ll gather to explore the power that already lives within us, the quiet steady flame that cannot be taken away, yet is sometimes forgotten.

Through meditation, journaling and sharing, we’ll reflect on how to nurture that flame so it can guide us through pregnancy, birth and the ever-evolving path of motherhood.

Together, we’ll witness each other rise a little taller, breathe a little deeper and remember that sovereignty isn’t something given to us, it’s something we claim.

📅 Saturday, 20th September at 2.30pm
📍 Stillpoint Studio, Sligo (F91 HF60)

I look forward to delving into this topic with everyone and connecting over tea and yummy snacks afterwards.

I was surprised to learn, after chatting to some of the ladies in our Pregnancy Yoga Sanctuary class, that they hadn't heard of the B.R.A.I.N decision-making model before. It doesn't seem to be something that is being taught in HSE antenatal classes and so I wanted to share it here.

I feel it's really important for every pregnant women to know that YOU are the centre of your experience and can choose to take time to fully educate yourself about each situation before making an informed choice.

Remember that each test, intervention or suggestion presented to you is not mandatory, it’s an option. Sometimes the way things are explained can make it feel like you have no choice, but you always do. Every care provider has their own perspectives and biases, so it’s absolutely okay to ask for time and space to privately discuss your options with your birthing partner before deciding.

More often than not (unless a true emergency) there is time to pause, ask questions, weigh up your options, feel into your intuitive knowing and then decide what truly feels best for you and your baby.

Taking this time to fully digest and process everything before making a decision means you’re more likely to look back and feel that birth didn’t just “happen” to you and that you had an active role in deciding how unfolded.

Every woman deserves to feel at the centre of her own birth experience. 💛

☆ Have you heard of the B.R.A.I.N model before?
☆ Is it something you have used during pregnancy or in birth (or plan to)?

I'd love to hear your experiences, feel free to comment below or send me a DM to share. 😊

Much love,
