natural ultimate high that is supposed to be our ‘basic setting’. If it was missing at the moment of ‘programming’ at birth, we are bound to long for it for the rest of our lives, never finding it. When a woman’s body is able to do
its work without interference from her own anxieties or medical interference, she is capable of experiencing a total state of bliss during delivery. Then the corresponding hormones in her system ‘dialogue’ with the baby’s hormone production – thus ‘wiring’ the baby’s ‘settings’ onto a deep sense of well-being and fearless attitude towards being alive, present in the body, and melded in deep connection with the mother, who is felt by the baby, in this case, as an enormous protective, nurturing, loving source of existence. That is the most basic sensation every one of us has the right to experience, because that is how a female procreational neurobiology and hormonal landscape is supposed to function. Unfortunately, so far, it is only the privilege of so few. Because if a woman was not born well herself, her body doesn’t know how to produce enough oxytocin during delivery. The good news – it’s possible to re-train our nervous system to the sufficient production of it, without medication. There are many ways of doing it; for more info go to www.
birthintobeing.com. We have to learn to be kind to ourselves. It’s, in most cases, harder than to learn to walk or speak – being truly kind to ourselves, without enabling addictions. It is sometimes the biggest taboo in our nervous system, if it was ‘trained’ on suffering from the very beginning of times. This is exactly why the journey from the head to the heart is a long one. The only journey that is longer than that, is the one from our
genitalia to our hearts. If our nervous system is disconnected from our body from the start, due to high stress levels during our formative period, we don’t have a reference point of what it is supposed to feel like – to be safe, loved, welcomed. Even if our parents loved us, it doesn’t mean that they knew how to express their love in a way that we could actually feel loved, because they, themselves, probably did not have a good role model to feel loved by their own parents. In my estimation, there are about 2-5%
of people on our planet, who can say: “I felt loved as a child”... Maybe about 15% who can say: “I felt emotionally safe with my parents”. Now, the logical, responsible thing to do in our society is to put birth into the context of life; so women don’t feel helpless when it comes to pushing the baby out and don’t look for somebody else to give their power away to (whether that be a midwife, a girlfriend, a partner, or some expert in an outfit of authority, who thinks he knows about birth just because he went to school). Any female cat knows how to give birth. Any male, of any species, doesn’t. It’s not a mental activity! A man has too many body parts missing when it comes to understanding birth. It’s as if one is trying to understand a very long and complicated plot of a psychological drama watching it on TV with muted sound – can see it, but can’t relate. There is so much more to giving birth
than the eye can see! It’s a deeply mystical, shamanic experience. That’s why initiation into motherhood in indigenous cultures has a rank of rite of passage in spite of its also being a normal anatomical function. A woman goes through a complete metamorphosis, through the end-of-the-

world-as-she-knew-it, through surrender to her own mortality and then emerges on the other end victorious, activated to the power she never knew she possessed... or she misses the whole ordeal and gets the drug and the surgery. The main reason for complications at
birth is the mother’s own birth trauma; her fear – of birth, of life, of her own potential – and of course, her inability to relax in the midst of intensity of her sensations. This is where introducing the consciousness into the approach to people- making comes in. To consciously create a new human being is to be aware of all the complexities and responsibilities of such a huge task and prepare for it properly. Giving birth is an ultimate activation of the Divine Feminine in a woman. Afterwards, her creativity, her grasp of life’s mysteries, is available to her if she chooses to pay attention. It’s such a waste to miss this amazing opportunity and just opt for an elective C-section! Of course, if there is a real medical
indication, we are very grateful that the professional help is available in the hospital! But, still, in the normal society, C-section should not be over 10-12%, speaking very conservatively – it’s a dangerous major abdominal surgery with huge psychological side-effects for the child, and what we have in some countries now, is C-section rates are up to 85-95%! I believe that it’s very unprofessional that doctors who are pushing for C-section are not going to the trouble of educating themselves about the consequences of this procedure on the emotional aspect of the new person’s life. The staggering stats are available from the last 15-20 years and none of it is in the medical textbooks; none of the research of prenatal psychologists is in the mandatory curriculum.
We don’t have a moment to lose to wait for changes in their policies. It’s really in women’s hands to educate themselves and know what they want and what they don’t want. Babies are being born every moment! We can sit and point fingers or we can just wake up and do what’s right. One of the main aspects of the
Conscious Procreation Model is Conscious Connection with the spirit of the unborn child before conception. With it comes in so much emotional support, and oxytocin floods the body! Afterwards, breastfeeding is a purely shamanic act, too – a woman’s body produces the most nurturing substance in the world. She calls it forth on demand. It brings an enormous oxytocin production for both, mother and babe. A Conscious Pro-Creation movement is marching the world! I travel a lot with my seminars and can testify that there are very few places on Earth where women are still in deep slumber. Mostly, we are on the rise, ladies! The answer to all problems of our civilisation, not only destructive addictions, but all fear-based, violent or simply stupid messes that we’ve created – is to raise a new generation of humans not programmed on pain and suffering, free from guilt and shame from the start, and free to live by the law of commonsense and simple compassion towards each other, which is our natural state of being. We can claim the Eden back and bring Heaven to Earth in one generation!
Elena directed the groundbreaking film, “Birth As We Know It” (2006) aimed at illuminating future parents on the impacts of conscious conception, pregnancy and birth. She
will be visiting Melbourne in March 2012 to host a Limbic Imprint Re-Coding workshop.
