Fear of pain has resulted in many women losing sight of birth as normal and natural, and of themselves as powerful and capable. Labor is an opportunity for women to learn about themselves and discover the strength and wisdom inherent in their bodies.

Nothing could be closer than the present, yet nothing slips away faster.

Self-awareness includes awareness of your body.

Put yourself in the hands of the universe-then you will have no need for control.

Your enemy is your own self in a different uniform.

How old are you? If your first reflex is to reply with your chronological age, the number on your birth certificate, you are only one-third correct. There are actually two additional, and more important, indicators of age. And the exciting news is that it is within your power to adjust both of these other "age indicators" and truly grow younger and live longer.

Base your happiness on being real, not on illusions and expectations.
