Ecstatic Birth, Ecstatic Life with Sheila Kamara Hay

Are you ready to see birth and life in a completely new light? In this episode, we’re joined by Sheila Kamara Hay, founder of Ecstatic Birth, as she shares how her healing journey from a traumatic birth led her to reclaim pussy and pleasure—and ultimately share this transformative magic with others. We explore how P u s s y is a portal to the divine, the power of finding pleasure in the contractions of both birth and life, and how Sheila integrates Kundalini activation into her work.

While birth is often viewed as dangerous and painful, Sheila’s work shifts the narrative to one of empowerment, pleasure, and even ecstasy. Sheila and Jenny also discuss how pleasure is a tool we can access at any time, no matter what’s happening in our external world. Whether you’re curious about ecstatic birth, Kundalini energy, or reclaiming your sexual power, this episode is full of wisdom and inspiration to guide you on your journey.

Ecstatic Birth: Reclaiming Pleasure as a Holistic Birthing Tool

Ecstatic birth is more than just a vision of a joyful and blissful childbirth experience - it's a reclamation of pleasure as a holistic tool for birthing and life. In traditional narratives, birth is often framed as painful and dangerous, but ecstatic birth offers a paradigm shift, showing that birth can be an experience of profound pleasure, empowerment, and ecstasy.

Sheila Kamara Hay, founder of Ecstatic Birth, explains how birth uses the same body parts, hormones, and pathways as our sexual experiences. By understanding the connection between sexuality and birth, we can begin to embrace birth as a sacred and pleasurable process. Sheila’s own journey into ecstatic birth started after healing from a traumatic first birth experience. By tuning into the power of her body and sexual energy, she found that pleasure wasn’t just a possibility but a deeply healing and transformational tool during labor.

For over a decade, Sheila has been teaching women and practitioners how to tap into their body’s natural pleasure during birth. Her work shows that by connecting with our bodies, breathing through sensations, and embracing the power of pussy, birth can become a portal of bliss and ecstatic energy.

Orgasmic Birth: Expanding Pleasure in the Birthing Process

Orgasmic birth might sound like an unattainable myth, but it’s a very real possibility for those who are prepared to embrace the full range of sensations during childbirth. Just as we can experience a wide spectrum of pleasure in sex, we can also experience ecstasy during birth by learning to connect with our bodies in deeper ways.

Sheila’s second and third births became experiences of profound orgasmic sensation, allowing her to understand how pleasure can guide the birthing process. In her second birth, she felt the intense pleasure of her P u s s y expanding and contracting as she pushed, which led to her first orgasmic birth experience. By her third birth, Sheila had trained her body to respond to pleasure, allowing her to dance through contractions and pulse with ecstasy as she gave birth.

While orgasmic birth may not be every woman’s experience, the reminder that pleasure is an incredibly powerful tool for moving through the intensity of labor is powerful. By learning how to expand your capacity for sensation through:

• Breath
• Sound
• Movement
• Visualization
  
  

You can allow your body to flow with the intensity of birth, transforming what might otherwise feel overwhelming into an experience of deep connection, joy, and ecstasy. Even if you do not feel pleasure, feeling into your sensations invites you into the powerful teaching of birth. 

Kundalini Activation: Awakening Your Life Force Energy

Sheila’s work also incorporates the transformative power of Kundalini activation, a practice that awakens the dormant life force energy within the body. By blending her knowledge of ecstatic birth with Kundalini energy, Sheila guides women toward a deeper connection with themselves, their bodies, and the divine.

Kundalini activation involves awakening energy that lies at the base of the spine, and when activated, this energy rises through the body, creating sensations of bliss, ecstasy, and spiritual connection. Sheila describes Kundalini activation as a continuation of her birth work, helping women access their own life force and experience deeper healing. In this episode, she explains how Kundalini energy supports the birthing process, allowing women to surrender to the powerful forces within and around them.

During a Kundalini activation, participants often report sensations such as their cells vibrating, their body unwinding, or even spontaneous orgasms. The experience is personal and unique for everyone, meeting them exactly where they are in their own healing journey. Unlike psychedelic experiences, Kundalini activation is a gentle and safe process that allows the body to awaken at its own pace, making it accessible to anyone curious about deepening their connection to universal energy and their own inner power.

By awakening your Kundalini energy, you can access not only the pleasure available within your own body but also a profound connection to the universe. It’s a continuation of the ecstatic birth work, allowing us to see how the same energy that brings us pleasure in birth and sex is the energy that connects us to all of life.

Whether through ecstatic or orgasmic birth, or Kundalini activation, Sheila Kamara Hay’s work shows us that pleasure is a powerful force for healing, connection, and transformation. Reclaiming our P u s s y, our sexual energy, and our life force can lead us to experiences of profound ecstasy and bliss in both birth and daily life. By embracing the pleasure available to us, we can begin to live in deeper alignment with our true selves and the universe.
