In this episode, I explore the concept of the 'Full-Body Yes' and its profound impact on decision-making, particularly in the context of childbirth. 

Key topics include:

Understanding the Full-Body Yes: Recognising when your entire being - mind, body, and spirit - is in complete alignment with a decision, leading to a deep sense of certainty and peace.

The Role of Intuition in Childbirth: Emphasising the importance of trusting one's instincts during pregnancy and labor, and how the Full-Body Yes can guide expectant mothers toward choices that resonate with their true desires.

Practical Steps to Cultivate the Full-Body Yes:

  • Mindfulness Practices: Engaging in activities that promote present-moment awareness to attune to your inner signals. 
  • Body Awareness Exercises: Learning to listen to physical sensations as indicators of alignment or misalignment with decisions.
  • Reflective Journaling: Writing to explore and clarify your values, desires, and feelings about various choices.

Overcoming External Pressures: Strategies to maintain personal integrity and confidence in your choices amidst societal expectations and external opinions.

Call to Action:

Reflect on your current decision-making processes. How can embracing the Full-Body Yes transform your approach to choices in childbirth and beyond?
