Those of us who listen to our bodies as we give birth, who follow the dictates of flesh and muscle, who rock and moan, sway and sing, do not generally find that our bodies will tell us, "Lie down, put your feet in stirrups, tighten the monitor belt, and push!" Rather, the voice of the body says, "Walk around, grunt and breathe, breathe deep into the depths of your belly, of your soul. Feel yourself, be yourself, live this moment,this holy time of birth. Reach down, feel the warm wet head of your child about to be born. Reach up, hold on to the people who will support you. Plunge deep into yourself as you flow with the powerful contractions. Give birth to yourself, to your own embodied power, even as you give birth to your child." Gentle Birth Choices, p xiv
