I think one of the most misconceptions is that you have to do a lot of it. You don't. You can do one thing. I haven't sat in a long time. I could feel it. It you know so the gateway to the inner world and the access to intuition is there just one time you know but if they're interested if they're curious and they they're looking into it um trust their intuition they need that anyway to be a mama you know to find their way through their pregnancy ceremony and find their way through their birth ceremony into motherhood, that they need to be able to trust themselves and trust their intuition.
Imagine childbirth as a journey not just of the body, but of the mind and spirit. In this episode of MINDBEND, host Matthew Dunehoo sits down with Haize Hawke, a doula and student midwife, to uncover the fascinating parallels between the experience of giving birth and psychedelic ceremonies. Haize, who also wears many hats as a meditation teacher and life coach, brings a wealth of knowledge about the transformative power of these deeply personal journeys.
She shares her insights on how doulas and midwives play a crucial role in supporting families through the birth process, ensuring that mothers feel safe, informed, and empowered. The conversation dives into how time perception shifts during childbirth, much like it does in psychedelic experiences. Haize passionately advocates for holistic support for mothers, emphasizing the importance of informed consent and agency over their bodies.
This episode isn't just about birth or psychedelics; it's about destigmatizing mental wellness and creating supportive environments for transformative experiences. Whether you're curious about alternative therapies or deeply interested in mental health, this episode offers a rich tapestry of insights that will leave you thinking long after it ends.
