  • Birth Magic: Hugo's Pain-Free, Pleasurable Freebirth with Tahnee and Mason Taylor

    Birth Magic: Hugo's Pain-Free, Pleasurable Freebirth with Tahnee and Mason Taylor
    Nov 19 2024
    Hi everyone! The Body of Wisdom podcast is back, this time for a very special episode! In this episode, I’m opening up about a journey that’s personal, raw, and life-affirming—our recent pain-free, pleasurable freebirth experience and the profound insights that came with it. Joined by my husband Mason, we’re diving into what it’s been like navigating (for the third time) pregnancy, birth, and the early days of postpartum, exploring not only the practical stuff but the deeper emotional and spiritual layers of birth, partnership, and parenthood. This episode is filled with reflections on love, growth, and the incredible capacities of the human body, oour true "body of wisdom," especially in those intense, transformative moments of birthing and nurturing life. I went into this birth with the quiet intention to experience a pain-free (possibly even pleasurable birth) and I got exactly that. It was the most beautiful, meditative, embodied experience. We also share about the conception, pregnancy and freebirth/pain-free birth prep process. Whether you’re preparing for your own birth, curious about the process of birth, or simply here for a heartwarming story, I hope this episode resonates with and supports you on your journey to fully embody your wisdom. In this episode we discuss: The Power of Inner Preparation and Birth as a Transformative Experience - Mason and I reflect on the mental, emotional, and spiritual preparation involved in birth. From introspection and letting go of preconceived notions, to reaching a state of calm and clarity, we explore how intentional preparation helped transform the birth experience into one of pleasure and immanence.Surrendering to the Process of Birth and Embracing Vulnerability - Both of us share moments of self-doubt and vulnerability, discussing how accepting fears and relinquishing control opened up space for an empowering, peaceful, pleasant birth experience. We talk about letting go of the “need to conquer” whether it's fear, or birth itself, and the process of finding ease in self-inquiry, trust, gratitude, communication, and presence.Understanding and Respecting the Partner’s Role in the Birth Space - We discuss how Mason found his role as a supportive presence—often without “doing” anything—and the delicate balance between stepping in and intruding in the 'birth magic' and holding space and bearing witness. The need for genuine, quiet presence over active assistance is highlighted as a way to honour the mother’s autonomy and experience.Birth as a Sacred Dance with Nature and Spirituality - Drawing from Taoist and yogic perspectives, we discuss the visceral, almost spiritual connection experienced in birth. The physical, emotional, and cosmic aspects intertwined, creating a unique experience akin to a spiritual awakening—one that’s grounding, powerful, and humbling.Healing, Recovery, and Early Postpartum Reflections - We share about the postpartum journey and adapting to a new family dynamic.Empowering Birth Choices and Recognising Inner Strength - This episode emphasises the strength in choosing a path that resonates personally—whether that’s freebirth, midwifery support, or hospital care. By examining our own narratives around birth, we share insights on rewriting limiting beliefs and finding empowerment in personal choices.Navigating the Integration of Family and Spiritual Growth - We close with reflections on how birth and parenting deepen spiritual growth and connection. The conversation touches on the unique spiritual and practical union of parenthood, especially in guiding each child through life with gentleness, respect, and resilience. I am so excited to share this with you, and hope our story has given you a glimpse into the beauty, messy magic of birth and parenting young kids. Whether it sparked a new perspective, a shared laugh, or a moment of self-reflection, I’m grateful to have shared this space with you. If you have any questions or just want to connect, don’t hesitate to reach out. I am so grateful for this wise body and all it has taught me.

    Aug 7 2024

    Welcome back to the Body of Wisdom podcast! In this episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by Sarina Stone, an internationally renowned Medical Chi Kung (Qigong) instructor, abdominal massage (chi nei tsang) expert, natural health advocate, and author of seven books (as well as the host of Mantak Chia's podcast!). Sarina shares her incredible journey from Renaissance fair performer to Taoist practitioner. Discover how a chance encounter with a cassette tape and a dedication to self-healing led Sarina to become a master teacher and healer. We dive into the power of the mind-body connection, the simplicity and effectiveness of Taoist practices, and the transformative impact of cultivating self-awareness and a connection with natural healing modalities.

    In this episdoe we cover:

    • How a cassette tape led to life-changing healing from scoliosis
    • Mantak Chia's advice to Sarina when he first saw her 'healing hands'
    • The simple yet effective Taoist practices that have changed Sarina's life
    • The principles of chi nei tsang (Taoist abdominal massage) and its benefits
    • The importance of knowing that we all have the power to heal ourselves and create our reality
    • The quantum nature of Taoist teachings
    • The importance of taking the practice out of the dojo and into the 'real world'
    • Predictions from Taoist masters as to humanity's future
    • The importance of raising healthy, conscious children
    • And so much more!

    I was fortunate enough to take a weekend course with Sarina in 2023 and she will be visiting Australia again in 2025 - I'd highly recommend studying with her if you're interested in learning more about chi nei tsang or Taoist healing techniques.

    So much gratitude to Sarina for this incredible episode and for her teachings.
