What is “The Tao?”
In Tao there is no right or wrong, no good or bad, no more or less. There is only surrendering to what is, and the continuation of a journey.
You know the expression, “Go with the flow?”
It originated from a philosophy called The Tao.
Translated, The Tao means The Way.
Because birth is unpredictable, there isn’t a birth-plan for the nurses nor a conversation with your doctor to ensure the experience you imagine. And if that’s the case, if your labor takes a turn you hadn’t initially desired, you’ll walk The Way of Tao.
I created The Tao of Birthing® to ease any sense of disappointment or regret should challenging surprises arise during labor. In the aftermath, there’s no “woulda, coulda, shouldas.” Rather, there’s acceptance and peace. This is the way to establish a clear, deep and immediate bond with your newborn, and for that bond to deepen through your “4th trimester” and beyond!
With one small step, the journey is begun
