Dancing Mother Reals Library
Follow your Yes & Dance into your Joy
This portal is emerging. This is a beginning.
Here I am sharing a collection of sacred videos, many of them from my birthing-time moments. This sanctuary is offered in support of mothers who are in all stages of their birthing and fertility labors. You are invited to dance along with me, as it nourishes your Yes and your Joy. Thank you for witnessing my moments and my stories. More offerings are softly and slowly being rediscovered from my 15+ years of documented birthing labors and being added to this library.
Sitting with possibilities, 2 days before birthing Wonder | Mother Mother feels the spirit and dances to one of her favorite jams of all time, Feels Good by Tony Toni Tone. A befuddled, soon-to-be big brother Bloom watches Mommy in amazement.

Sitting with possibilities, 18 days before birthing Revelation | Feeling a series of intense contractions over the last hour, Mother Mother is convinced this baby is ready to come TONIGHT! She is energized and excited and decides to help baby along by dancing to some of her favorite soca tunes. She practices dancing in all the positions she will use during labor.
Sitting with possibilities, 14 days before birthing Revelation | Mother Mother imagines the sensations of birthing time as waves in the ocean. The more she dances, the more she becomes the ocean itself, riding each wave gracefully. Engaging the power of gravity, and the momentum of the water, she is able to make more and more space for baby to find its way out as softly as possible. She practices breathing through the contractions that come, and conditioning herself to embrace each contraction as a chance to soften and open.
Sitting with possibilities, 5 days before birthing Revelation | Mother Mother moves gently through subtle hip circles and booty rolls, breathing into her pelvic floor and dancing with the warmup contractions that have been steadily increasing. She practices breathing and moving through the contractions in whichever positions feel good, and so she can shape her muscle memory for birthing time.
Sitting with possibilities, 5 days before birthing Revelation | Mother Mother wants to rest and practices softening movements and breathing techniques that she can do while in the bed. Practicing now with the warmup contractions will help her remember to stay soft and open at birthing time.
Soundtrack | Issa Bagayogo Filaw (Soft Rocks Remix)
Mother Mother is feeling good as she eases into a lovely new day. The energy rises as she feels for the Yes in her body. What are you creating today? Where are you pouring out your Yes?

On a day when Mother Mother wakes up not feeling so great, she gradually lifts her spirits inside the movements, with the help of some of her go-to soca dance music vibrations.
