These are the words that were chosen to describe birth by 5 amazing mothers, birthworkers and social justice advocates last week:

🎢 Rollercoaster
🦋 Transformational
⭕️ Open
🕯️ Sacred
✨ Raw
🔥 Initiation
🙏 Ancestral
🌀 Reclamation
👂 Listening
🎁 Presence
🤝 Trust
💫 Future
👣 Ancestors
🕊️ Spiritual hope

Goes to show how diverse and powerful birth experiences can be
… and yet that’s not what the mainstream wants us to know - we’re all meant to fit into a box of idealised timelines and physical measurements 🤨 😣 hence the problem, and why we need a week that raises awareness about birth trauma.

I hope you’ve found these conversations inspiring and insightful in some way.

I’d love to hear your 3 words to describe birth as it has been for you (either birthing or supporting birth) 👇
Or if it’s too tricky to think of your own, which ones from above resonate with you the most?

Today, on International Paramedics Day, we extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible paramedics who serve our communities. Your unwavering dedication and clinical expertise are the bedrock of our emergency response system.

For families choosing a planned homebirth, your presence as part of the wider healthcare team is a vital source of reassurance. Knowing that you are there, ready to lend your skills with compassion and professionalism, makes this gentle birthing option a safe and accessible reality for so many.

Thank you for your collaboration with midwives, for your steady hands, and for the peace of mind you bring to birthing families across the country. Your role is integral to a system that respects and supports a range of birthing choices.

🎙️ I had such a heartfelt conversation with Christine Devlin on Podcast recently, diving deep into The Five Koshas in Birth and Parenting!

We explored how welcoming a new life is a whole-being transformation, not just physical. From the Annamaya Kosha (our physical body) that changes so much during pregnancy and birth, to the Pranamaya Kosha (our energy), Manomaya Kosha (our minds and emotions), Vijnanamaya Kosha (our wisdom), and even the Anandamaya Kosha (our bliss).

Understanding these interconnected layers can truly transform how we approach healing and recovery during the perinatal period. It's about recognizing that fatigue isn't just physical, or anxiety isn't just in your head – it's all connected! I shared some practical tips for integrating this ancient wisdom into modern daily life.

If you're a new parent, or supporting one, I truly believe this episode offers a compassionate roadmap for holistic recovery. Tune in to The Sacred Window Podcast to listen!

As NAIDOC Week 2025 commences tomorrow, The Centre of Bright Beginnings wishes to acknowledge that this marks 50 years of honouring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience.

This year's theme of Strength, Vision and Legacy is accompanied by the powerful artwork "Ancestral Lines" by Jeremy Morgan Worrall.
Both really speak to what I feel all of us who are on this matrescence journey, or supporting people who are, seek a connection with. Rich, intergenerational wisdom and being empowered by the legacy of our ancestors to move forward in community, not in isolation.

We share NAIDOC's vision for an Australia where Indigenous voices are not only heard but lead the way. We feel it is the only way towards true reciprocal living on this land we now call Australia.

We also stand with NAIDOC in calling for National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance to be made a national public holiday.

🎙Recently, I was privileged to have the opportunity to speak with on her podcast A Grateful Life to talk about pregnancy, birth and beyond.

🌙We explored matrescence and how yoga can support the perinatal journey, not just through asana but also with pranayama, mantra, yoga nidra, and the deeper teachings of yoga.

🤰This episode is for anyone navigating this life stage (pregnancy, postpartum and parenting) or supporting others through it.

✨Matrescence is a continuum, not a day
= you don't 'have to feel good about it every day, and it doesn't matter if you make mistakes along the way, there is always a new beginning tomorrow
= every little step adds up, just take one at a time. Do the 'next right thing' for you and your baby/family.

✨Matrescence is a journey, birth is a passage along the way
= birth is not the final destination! Make sure you are prepared to continue the journey when you reach the other side of the pass.
= of course there are things you need to do to move through this sacred passage, but there is a before and an after, don't neglect them.

If you haven't got the memo yet: Yoga is Social Justice

✨Practising yoga means being committed to sovereignty, to the ideal of self-governance.

✨And the reality is that no one can be truly in a state of self-governance when other beings in the world around them are not.

This year's World Day of Social Justice Theme is:
✨Strengthening a Just Transition for a Sustainable Future✨
"Decarbonization and economic transformation should go hand in hand with policies that fight poverty, reduce inequality, and open up opportunities for all"

It's a hugely complex issue, and can seem overwhelming. It's easy to say: "What can I, as a busy parent, do about all this?" and just leave it in the too hard basket.

But the point is, it's the little steps that all add up. Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Where you spend your dollar matters. What you tell your children matters. Who you support in your community matters.

Ideas for the busy parent:
✨educate yourself for an informed vote in the upcoming election
✨share with your children about the current global crises - social, political and environmental - in an age-appropriate way
✨do what you can to reduce your own carbon footprint
✨speak up when you see inequality and encourage your children to do the same
✨find a cause that you care about to donate to or volunteer for (include your kids if they are old enough)

It's all yoga! And it's far more impactful than any time you might spend stretching on a mat.
