Written By Amanda Gorman

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”

I would love to hear your feedback about the breath exercise, please reach out:
