Enjoy your pregnancy...

When a pregnant mum is properly prepared; mentally, physically and spiritually, she can experience the birth of her baby in a way that mirrors nature. The essence of achieving a calm and peaceful birth is letting go of fear and tension that produce pain in childbirth.

Meditation and self-hypnosis calm the body and mind, enabling the nervous system to function at an optimum, producing a healthy dose of natural 'pain-killers'. Chemicals such as endorphins counteract the adverse activity in our system, brought on by fear, tension stress and anxiety, the major cause of pain in labour. To read more about childbirth preparation see our separate page about Hypnobirthing childbirth education.

Scientific studies show that our brain waves also slow down during self-hypnosis and meditation, the predominance of Alpha and Theta waves signify a state of restfulness and deep relaxation, where the mind is alert but not strained or confused. These waves appear almost as soon as the body starts to relax, increasing in frequency as the process deepens, allowing clearer and more constructive inner focus.

Childbirth Meditation CDs are specifically designed to teach you how to relax and initiate a self-hypnotic state. Breathing instructions and bonding with your baby are essential ingredients of this CD series. Listening to these CDs regularly will help your body and mind to work in harmony as you prepare for the birth of your wonderful baby.

Regular meditation during pregnancy and after birth while nurturing your baby, encourages the body to increase secretions of particular mood-altering chemicals. One of these, serotonin, is a powerful hormone that is associated with feelings of happiness and contentment which may help many mums avoid pre-natal and post-natal depression. Recent medical research suggests that the release of 'feel good' hormones during relaxation are a contributing factor in having a calm and content baby after birth.
