Embody Being Here in This World

How you’re are welcomed into this world at birth is incredibly important to how you live your life, how you feel and how you relate to other people. Binnie Dansby explains why:

Binnie: I had my first rebirthing session with Leonard Orr, in New York City and it changed my life completely. Along the way, I became really interested and actually worked with birth, I worked with pregnant couples.

Ciara: you were present in California for the first water birth.

Binnie: That’s true. I worked with the couple for the full nine months. We worked toward creating the first water birth in the US. Birth has been my greatest teacher

Ciara: in birth coming into your body is vitally important and a lot of people don’t do that.

Binnie: A lot of people are caught in what happens when we take our first breath. Most people are startled into it because they are afraid they’re not going to breathe. I mean, people have been taking a breath for eons. And so when we take our first breath, if we’re startled into it, the lungs open too fast. They explode open. And people are so excited to hear the cry.

As David Chamberlain said one time, no one realized that realizes that that’s genuine communication from the baby.

What I noticed when I was watching birth films is that babies go like this, (Binnie clenches her fists by her chest). My first son did that. I wasn’t as present with his birth as I would liked to have been.

My second son came through a painless birth and I had an orgasm.

Ciara: Fantastic!

Binnie: I took him right to the breast. He never cried and I’ve seen this over and over and over again. But where we shut down if the if there’s an explosion in the heart chakra, which is where the lungs are as well, then we shut down. What happens when you shut down in the heart is that spirit can’t get all the way in to the body.

The physical doesn’t receive the gift of spirit. The whole idea is to manifest spirit in form.

Ciara: And how we’re welcomed into this world is incredibly important to how we live our lives, isn’t it?

Binnie: It means everything.

How were you welcomed at your birth?

Was anyone aware of your love? Every one of us came forth to love.

And if you’re shaken or rubbed and just simply trying to survive because that’s the the job of the brain, survival, you know, the entire sympathetic nervous system and cortisol inducing fight or flight is established. Not a parasympathetic nervous system which is calm and quiet.

And I’ve seen at least 75 births. Where the baby does not cry, where they look into mama’s eyes with such adoring looks. It’s astonishing.

Ciara: So in this workshop, we’re going to look at what happened at birth and transform that into being welcomed into a loving, safe world.

Binnie: One time I came to a birth, some students of mine had given birth and I was called in. They had a lovely midwife and I arrived just after the baby was born and she was lying there in her mother’s arms in, she was a water birth. Her father had his arm around the mother and they were sitting there and this baby she was looking around. Her two sisters were there and it was like everyone was there to entertain her. She was being entertained by mama, by sisters, by this wonderful woman who just walked in. you know, she was just taking it all in and she was maybe 10 minutes out of her mother’s body.

And everyone, no matter how old you are, can have that experience.. opening the heart.

Come all the way in before you leave. I I love saying that!

You know, it’s like most people are standing in the doorway of a magnificent party. Come all the way in and let us love you.

Ciara: Come and join us and come all the way in to this life and notice the difference it makes in your life.
