Lotus Flower Mandala
by Rashel Tremblay
I visualized the Lotus Flower during birth, keeping my mouth loose and open, repeating to myself: “My womb is like the petals of a lotus flower … I am opening, each petal unfurling, I am open.” This is a helpful exercise when labour seems to be going slowly or is stalled, though in my case, my baby was born after only 3 hours!
