ORION WOMEN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

I am currently expecting bub number 3 and have been reading up on natural birthing techniques. One of the main ones that comes through is "Above, so below". In this technique it is important to keep the throat and lips open and soft during labour and contractions and this has a similar effect on the lower sphincters - Ina May Gaskin who is a great American midwife calls this Sphincter law. It turns out that it works just as well for people having number 2 problems as it does for labour. She learnt this through observations over a good 30 years.

When I described this to my Yoga teacher she told me that the throat and root chakras are linked energetically and so from an energy perspective it makes perfect sense that if you are tight up top, you'll be tight down bottom! I imagine it works backwards as well but it is somewhat easier to control mouth and throat rather than cervix and bowel.

I have been practicing "horse lips" and open throat singing in preparation and have also found this to release very old childhood fear energy from my body as well. I would highly recommend a "top and tail" opening practice for anyone who has physical bowel or uterine/vaginal dis-ease, or childhood anxiety energies that they wish to "let go"!

LOL!
