Help Ease Pain During Labor
If possible, try and find a wand or pendant that has these four stones in it: amethyst, clear quartz crystal, chrysoprase and aventurine. If you look online, there are pagan stores that will custom create items for you. If possible, hold or wear the item against your skin during delivery. Afterwards, give the item away, preferably to someone who is also expecting or trying to conceive. If you can not find someone to make you one, you can make a small pouch and put one of each stone into it. Hold or wear it during delivery to help ease pain and make the birth easier on both mom and her baby. Afterwards, the pouch should be taken apart, and the stones given away as gifts.
Birthing Sachet
Here is a birthing sachet I devised. It should be held during meditations of peaceful childbirth. You should also have it with you during the actual childbirth, so that the associations with a peaceful and easy childbirth are awakened in your sub-conscious. Take some leaves from a willow tree (for ease of birth), lavender (for peace) and clove (for protection). Place them in a small bowl and empower them. Do this by building up energy in your body and concentrating it out through the palms of your hands (which you should hold over or around the bowl). Visualize a peaceful and easy childbirth. Then, send all the energy out into the bowl in a final burst, while gently breathing onto the herbs (if you breath to heavily, the herbs will not be in the bowl anymore!). Now, place the mixture of herbs into a white bag or cloth and tie it up. You should immediately use the birthing sachet while meditating on a peaceful childbirth.
