Birth does not have to be painful. It is only because of centuries of conditioning and medical 'intervention' that most women experience it as such. Most women now hold so much fear in their bodies that it constricts the muscles and creates resistance counterproductive to the expansion that occurs and is required during birthing. It is this underlying fear that causes pain.This book...* Gives you tools to release the fears, the limiting mindset and the conditions that keep you trapped in fear, whether it be birth-related or not.* Guides you - month by month - through each chakra, and provides powerful tools to raise your frequency in each.* Shares empowering birth stories that reinforce the natural way of birthing to assist you to re-condition your mind.* Gives you background on how and why we were moved away from natural birth into the highly interventionalist birthing practice.* Ultimately guides you to rebirth yourself, reclaiming your true inner Goddess Self, before birthing your child. This is a must-read manual for every woman, pregnant or not pregnant, to rebirth herself and birth her baby as the cosmic children that they are. "In the Womb of the Goddess takes you on a fascinating journey through the stages of pregnancy through an awakened lens, as well as giving an in-depth exploration of the making of blissful birth and what you need to know to connect to your inner power. Well worth the read." Katrina Zaslavsky, Author of A modern Woman's Guide to Natural Empowering Birth and Editor of the Empowering Birth Magazine. "Krystal presents a series of maps and metaphors as well as monthly reflective activities that enable the unveiling of a deeper odyssey. It is rich in suggestions for professionals."

Rediscover the lost ancient mystery teachings of the Cosmic Womb • 2017 Nautilus Silver Award • Explains how each of us has a holographic blueprint of the Womb of Creation, our spiritual Womb • Offers practices to help awaken your spiritual Womb, experience the Womb of God within, and activate the Womb’s sacred magic of creation and manifestation • Looks at the power of the moon and its connection to sacred Womb Consciousness • Explores how the lost Womb mystery teachings were encoded in folk and fairy tales, the legends of the Holy Grail, and the traditions of Mary Magdalene and Sophia • Includes access to three guided Womb Awakening audio journeys The Ancients lived by a feminine cosmology of creation, where everything was birthed and dissolved through a sacred universal Womb. Within each of us, whether female or male, lies a holographic blueprint of this Womb of Creation, connecting us to the Web of Life. By awakening your spiritual Womb, the holy of holies within the temple of your body, you can reconnect to the transformative energy of Womb Consciousness and reclaim your sacred powers of creation and love. Drawing on mythical and spiritual traditions from almost every culture, Dr. Azra and Seren Bertrand reconstruct the moon-based feminine mystery teachings of a lost global Womb religion, tracing the tradition all the way back to the Neanderthals and beyond. They explore how these teachings were encoded in the symbolism of folk and fairy tales; the legends of the Holy Grail; the traditions of Mary Magdalene and Sophia; the maiden, queen, and crone archetypes; and the teachings of alchemy and the chakras. They show how sages and shamans across the globe all secretly spoke of the Cosmic Womb and the sacred creative powers of Moon Blood. The authors look at the power of the Moon and its connection to sacred Womb Consciousness, offering meditations and practices to help awaken your spiritual Womb and activate its sacred magic of creation and manifestation. They explain how to activate the energetic gateways of the Womb and merge the heart and Womb to make sexual union the highest sacrament of love. Revealing how we must reconnect with the Divine Feminine to rebirth the Divine Masculine and restore balance to our world, they show how, as we reawaken the powerful ancient path of the Womb Mysteries, we help return our world to harmony with the wild, untamed creative flows and cyclical rhythms of the cosmos.

The experience of reproductive loss raises a series of profoundly theological questions: how can God have a plan for my life? Why didn’t God answer my prayers? How can I have hope after such an experience? Who am I after such a loss? Sadly, these are questions that, along with reproductive loss, have largely been ignored in theology. Karen O’Donnell tackles these questions head on, drawing on her own experiences of repeated reproductive loss as she re-conceives theology from the perspective of the miscarrying person. Offering a fresh, original, and creative approach to theology, O’Donnell explores the complexity of the miscarrying body and its potential for theological revelation. She offers a re-conception of theologies of providence, prayer, hope, and the body as she reimagines theology out of these messy origins. This book is for those who have experiences such losses and those who minister to them. But it is also for all those who want to encounter a creative and imaginative approach to theology and the life of faith in our messy, complex world.
