Number 3 miracle this morning. actually it’s number 4, but not all are for sharing. Cheryl wants to share this for all the other babies who’ve felt unsafe all their lives and thus struggled with feeling and being safe on a horse too. Have you read me talking about this before? If you FEEL unsafe when you ride, then that tension has disconnected your riding seat and you ARE unsafe. It’s one of the great joys of my life to help people to fix all the causes of that – both in and out of horses.
There’s been an extraordinary ripple effect from Lynda’s blog about undoing and releasing her twisted body caused during her birth by forceps. Person after person has come forward with a version of “me too!”, with joyful outcomes as they’ve released their birth trauma. One was a 4 pound premmie who was born dead and resuscitated. Another had a mother who suffered from gestational diabetes, was born too fast and broke her collar bone during the delivery.
And then we come to Cheryl, who’s stepped forward to share the joy with you.
We were talking about the ripple effects of Lynda’s sharing when Cheryl pipes up “I was a premmie too.”
Her Mum developed toxemia at 6 months, went into labor and delivered a 1 and a 1/2 lb baby girl that was Cheryl. Yes you read that right, that’s one and a half pounds. Doc went off fishing and said “don’t bother, that baby is going to die” but an incredibly dedicated nurse intervened and nursed that baby around the clock and saved her life.
Back in the old days (Cheryl’s only in her 60’s lol!) they called them “the cotton wool babies”. I googled that expression and when there was no incubator they would cover the babies in olive oil, wrap them in cotton wool and flannel to keep them warm. Cheryl’s mum only talked about her being wrapped in cotton wool. Whatever… surviving from 1 and a half pounds – far out…
As Cheryl applied her breath, her bubbly feeling of her smiliness and her being utterly present to being that baby, she went through a glorious sequence of releasing all kinds of restrictions in her body, culminating in a lightness of spirit and the physical safety of her tummy muscles and psoas lining up parallel for perfect and effortless strength in her riding position.
The effect of this releasing on the rest of her life is going to be extraordinary too. Just imagine that tiny wee baby and her struggle for life, trying for every breath, that tension imprinted into her mind body spirit, those beliefs of how difficult this world is that affected her whole life – now translated into who she really is – effortless strength and safety.
Interesting thought. What’s happening that’s prompted all these babies to come forwards? Are these re-births balancing the the world at the moment?
