1- It is Nature that governs the phenomenon of the evolution of life, we are here perpetuating its pulse. Connect with Nature.

2- Birth happens from within.

3- Be void of expectations. Also work with your anxieties, fixed ideas, prejudices and interests. Birth invites us to its innate and raw beauty.

4- Childbirth is a moment of being —To be. Breathe the present and give yourself.

5- Blurring of standards. Allow the mystery of life to manifest itself.

6- Roots. Establish this ancestral link, even if you have to seek far back to discover it. 

7- Immerse yourself in your memories, beliefs, and crush each collective, nuclear, and personal experience related to your sexuality. 

 8- Childbirth is about people

 9- Embody and be your inner microcosm. Be aware, you are two orbits slowly adjusting

 10- Live your connection to the Sacredness in Birth vertically, as it is intimate and individual, and happens beyond any understanding of time and space 

 11- Be in your erotic, impudent, and openness self through the body. To embrace this core idea of immaculate conception is to distort what childbirth is. 

 12- Do not give birth dressed, standards and conventions cover us; when we give birth naked, we give birth brightly 

 13- Remember that your body is in service. To give birth is to channel the force majeure

14 - There are no painkillers that plug the holes in the fear of pain. Study and work on your pains and fears before labour

 16- Vulnerability is key to ecstasy and open door for ego to dissipate 

 17- Nesting, "Uterizing", "Vulving”

 18- Live your choices, take them seriously: birth is very personal
