HypnoBirthing
The HypnoBirthing
childbirth method is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for
achieving a a calm, gentle, stress-free birth.
HypnoBirthing
teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing
birth in a more comfortable manner that is closer to what nature intended.
You will learn how to call upon your body’s natural endorphins to lessen and even eliminate discomfort and the need
for medication.
You will be fascinated as you view
HypnoBirthing
films showing laboring mothers awake, alert and in good humor as they experience
the kind of gentle birth that you, too, can know.
This program teaches you to release all prior programming about birth and how to work with your body so there is minimal discomfort.
As part of the course, you will free yourself of harmful emotions that often lead to fear
and pain in childbirth.
With
HypnoBirthing
you will not be in a trance or a sleep state.
You will be aware and fully in control—but profoundly relaxed.
What is Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a naturally induced state of relaxed concentration—a state of mind and body in which we communicate suggestions to our subconscious mind.
This part of our mind influences what we think, how we feel, and the choices we make.
It can actually control pain.
There is no magic to achieving success with self-hypnosis.
Almost anyone who chooses to can reach deep relaxation and redirected focus.
When having your baby with
HypnoBirthing
what you will experience is similar to daydreaming or the focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or staring at a fire.
You will be conversant and in good spirits--—totally relaxed but fully in control.
You will be aware of your uterine contractions, but many
HypnoBirthing
mothers describe them as pressure rather than pain.
Your body’s natural pain killers (endorphins) replace the stress hormones that create pain.
When it’s time for your baby to be born, you won’t be exhausted from labor; you will be
fully awake and involved.
