Observations in the Medical centre

Firstly its not lost on me how honored and privilaged I ( naughty fairy, hippie me) am to be allowed to assist in this kind of place.
I walk around shadowing this diminutive purple swirling midwife, rubbing shoulders with nurses, doctors and medical secretaries, all manner of people who on paper and in the eyes of many are more qualifyed than me to be here. I know that I am always where I am supposed to be!
 Already today I have assisted with dietary advice, baby holding, IUD (coil) insertion , and vaginal growth removal ( a little purple pearl) I have cleaned up , re-stocked , remembered , observed and assisted.
 My abilities of calm quiet speach to relax tense people and my hands full of universal Reiki have been apprieciated and have made me feel at home and of use in these pretty alien medicalized surroundings.
 I find myself observing to gleen what is really neccessarry, which questions to ask , what dietary advice to give, the way that Love and cuddles create a bridge along which communication and compassion and Oxytocin can flow.
 I see herbal and industrial medicine used wisely hand in hand. I see clinical and artistic models merged in a way that creates calm in the easily concerned and confused.
 The path of the post-modern midwife is one of the artist and healer , artfully she mixes the pallette of medicines to create optimum health and happiness for all she serves.
 I like this reflection I see and wholeheartedly accept my role to be the successor of this woman and the many like her who have and will support women towards happy healthy natural births instead of leading women like lambs to the slaughter of industrialized birth.
  "Never doubt that a small group of people working together , can change the world. Indeed its the only thing that ever has" Margaret Mead
This patha nd calling is long and wide with many wolves and dark places. The joys will far outweigh the sadnesses but I will remember that all experience is just that, just another rich colour that creates the wonderful vibrant tapestry of our amazing lives.
 Sometimes I feel small and stupid, that there is too much to learn, too much to do , then I remember to hold my own hand and believe in the vibration of the Universe that guides us all. This life is for living and being and a place to really experience all that our phisical beings can experience. So to be called to the office of Midwife with all of the colours of experience that it holds is one I welcome ,always with eyes wide with awe and with a heart open and full of love .  Fairy love and kisses Laraxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
