Birth differences as expressions of the collective unconscious
One of the biggest questions you might have a someone born with a birth difference or a parent or family member, is 'why?' And you or your parents may have done everything right during pregnancy but still have (a child with) a birth difference. So what does this mean? Well, if we look at things only through a rational lens, it makes no sense. It might even seem like a random mishap of sorts where you feel punished for something you don't understand.
In fact it is not uncommon for family members and the person born with a birth difference to feel spiritually abandoned. This is when for many people, they might lose hope or faith. Birth differences can be grouped together with other 'seemingly random' events or circumstances in which 'bad things happen to good people.'
Personally, I think this also has largely to do with how we view birth differences, and use the word 'defect' and 'disorder.' With these words, of course we are going to consider them negative. It's a genetic mutation, there's something wrong with my genes! We might even generalise this further to say, "there's something wrong with me." But what if you realised that the birth difference was part of something much larger and more meaningful?
As someone who has lived with a rare birth difference, I have an embodied understanding that each birth difference has so much wisdom and love to share with you, that it is awe-inspiring. The suffering is not random and it is not meaningless. It is meant for us to work through.
I offer private, online sessions, self-paced learning, and group sessions to help you repair 'birth differences' trauma, which is also collective trauma, as an individual or as a family, and reignite your sacred spark of vitality, so that your true magnificence begins to shine through.

Angel S. Buster, MA, MSc
I am the founder of The Nested Womb, a conscious education community with four interrelated goals:
1) entering into dialogue with today's leadership and businesses to co-create a more eco-embodied dialogical approach to our global challenges
2) offering hands-on learning in permaculture, agroforestry, and indigenous wisdom at our centre in Dordogne, France
3) raising awareness of the origins of our collective trauma and how its 'disembodied' state is continuously being reinforced in society and;
4) helping repair and restore the connection to each other and our hearts through a variety of programs, community events, and workshops
I was born with Bladder Exstrophy Epispadias Complex, a rare congenital disorder (1 in 100,000) in which the bladder is born outside of the body, and sex is ambiguous. Through my own healing journey, I have arrived (and am still arriving!) at an embodied understanding of both its scientific and spiritual perspectives which has allowed me to understand the underlying factors in the formation of birth differences. My background as a leadership author, speaker, and consultant, a creative entrepreneur, trauma therapist, and prenatal and perinatal psychology educator, has allowed me to weave together a variety of perspectives and to develop an integral vision for societal transformation, which must be seen as a mirror of our inner transformation.

Birth differences are collective memories and symbols manifested into physical form. They remind us what we have tried to ignore or have forgotten. They are opportunities to bring the unconscious to light.
