666. Birth Trauma, Soul Contracts, & Raising Kids Outside the Matrix w/ Eyla Cuenca

Most birth conversations stop in the delivery room. This one goes far beyond it.Eyla Cuenca has attended around 300 births over the past 15 years, training doulas and helping women process birth trauma that often stretches back generations. In this episode, Eyla shares what changed after she birthed her own daughter, the grief that surfaced during labor, and why she stepped away from the polarity between hospital birth and free birth.We also dive into postpartum phone addiction, Edward Tronick’s still-face experiment, and Eyla’s perspective on when the soul fully anchors into the body.From there, the conversation expands into reincarnation, soul fractals, the Akashic record, and a deeply personal story about how a mushroom ceremony reshaped my relationship to past abortions and circumcision.We close on the legal side of birth: birth certificates, hospital paperwork, and what really happens to the placenta once it’s classified as “birth waste.”To enroll in the Sacred Postpartum Doula Training, visit lukestorey.com/doulatraining and use code LUKE10 for 10% off.For the Uncovering Birth Method Educator Training and Certification, visit uncoveringbirth.com/birth-educator-certificationFor the When Birth Heals the Mother Masterclass, visit uncoveringbirth.com/when-birth-heals-the-motherTo generate your free birth plan, visit uncoveringbirth.com/birth-plan-with-uncovering-birthYou’ll learn:[00:00] Introduction[19:14] Why boredom might be the most underrated thing you can give a child[35:12] How far the natural birth movement has actually come[43:22] What it really takes to commit to a home birth[1:03:12] Did your soul choose this birth?[1:11:12] What I learned about time, past lives, and having nowhere to hide[1:37:05] The strange energy that surrounds the moment of birth and death[1:50:00] The ceremony that changed how I felt about becoming a father[1:59:05] What the hospital actually owns the moment your baby is born[2:20:03] What most doula training gets completely wrongResources Mentioned:Read: A Horse Named Lonesome: Tales and Teachings to Reclaim Connection, Transcend Separation, and Discover the Divine Within by Luke Storey | BookEdward Tronick | WikipediaFreedom | WebsiteQuanta Academy | WebsiteFamily Constellations | WikipediaBert Hellinger | WebsiteMorphogenetic Field | WikipediaYour Sovereign Baby | WebsiteViktor Frankl | WebsiteAndrew Kaufman | WebsiteFull shownotes at lukestorey.com/birthkeeper2Related The Life Stylist Episodes:Birth Keeper: A Doula's Guide to Natural Child Bearing w/ Eyla Cuenca (Men Are Welcome!) |<a href="https://www.lukestorey.
