The Medicin 211. KEEP BIRTH SPIRITUAL: Medical augmentation is robbing Mothers and babies of sacred, ecstatic births, with spiritual midwife, Lindsey Meehleis.
Contrary to the conventional, intervention heavy approach, birth is not a medicalized pathology. It's a spiritual portal. Every mother's body contains innate wisdom and magic necessary to transition from the maiden to the mother archetype. Unfortunately, many mothers don't describe their birth experiences as "magical." Our guest today takes us on a journey of remembering as we dive into her world of spiritual birth.
For the past 20 years, Lindsey Meehleis has worked in healthcare but found herself often in the shadows. In the shadows of the night helping women discover their own strength through psychedelic, transcendent experiences while they birth their babies in power at home. As well in the shadows of death as a Midwife who helps people cross the rainbow bridge. Her hands have touched the lives of many as they take their first and last breath. She has woven the stories of thousands of births throughout these 20 years. Trained traditionally and licensed through the Medical Board, she quickly learned that what is needed in the magic and mystery of birth and death can't be found in a book. She serves families from womb to tomb, like many medicine women have done throughout time, with a deep remembering that many of these witches were burned at the stake for their threat to the standard industrialized medical complex. She has witnessed a drastic shift in healthcare since 2020 and looks forward to co-creating a new future of what true medicine always was. She gets down to the nitty-gritty of LIFE and everything it brings and illustrates the power that we have within, showing that birth, life and death are pivotal rites of passage that deserve to be held in sacred deep reverence.
