MY WHY -
I cried at everything and not just pretty tears but big mascara running, lipstick draining tears.
I always thought there was no way I could do anything that involved weddings or babies so when the opportunity to work with expectant moms as their midwife came my way, I chose another career path. Soon after becoming a clinical hypnotherapist and clinical Professional counselor -Intern, I realized that showing emotions and how I managed them could be a good thing but still never understood why this emotion came so easily for me.
Now that I will soon become a HypnoBirthing educator, I found that as I watched the videos of the most amazing births I finally realized what it is that gets me so choked up, it’s the union, the bond, the love that is in the air. The way a mother looks upon her child, the way the child instinctively touches and latches with its mother, and the way the birth partner is in awe yet immediately transitions from the support of one to the guardian of them all. I don’t know if it’s more of a dance of life or a song of joy but it is and always will give me the goosebumps of amazement and the tears of elation and happiness.
I have never felt more blessed and grateful than I have been being a witness to the spiritual union of a newborn family.
