In today’s solo show I discuss how breath awareness helps during labor, and really during any uncomfortable or painful experience. 

In the episode I go over: 

• The difference between pain and suffering
• A quote from Pam England’s book Ancient Map for Modern Birth
• What the “monkey mind” is
• What breath awareness is (hint: it does not teach you how to breath)
• The foundation for breath awareness
• An exercise to practice breath awareness 
• An exercise to deepen the breath awareness practice with an “ice contraction”
