Are you ready to ditch the fear of labour and birth?
What if I told you that Hypnobirthing can help you with this? That the fearless birth goddess you seek is already right there inside of you? and that Hypnobirthing is not woo-woo or hocus-pocus?
What it is, is a complete preparation for labour and birth, and it gives you the knowledge and confidence to navigate maternity systems. The science behind it is really solid and it's something that everyone should know about. Hypnobirthing gives you the tools to change the way you feel about your baby’s birth. These tools are for EVERY birth, even if it goes in a different direction than the one you had hoped for.
In spite of the fact that women's bodies know what they should do when giving birth, after all, we have been giving birth for millions of years, our overthinking minds can interfere. Overthinking can make birth more difficult and uncomfortable. Hypnobirthing gives you the tools to free yourself of overthinking and fear; you build trust in your amazing body, allowing you to relax allowing for a more pleasant birth experience.
So, here comes the science…. The mind is similar to an iceberg. When you see an iceberg, you only see a small portion. When you look under the surface, you will find a huge chunk of ice beneath, a chunk that is far larger than the one above. Our minds are similar in many ways. The smallest part is our conscious mind, which is the logical part that we are aware of and which we use to make decisions.
The biggest part is our subconscious mind, with the main function being our survival instincts, it fights, protecting us from anything that gets in the way of our survival. Our emotions are controlled by this part of the brain. Do you remember a time when you felt really anxious for no apparent reason? The subconscious mind detects something that it believes threatens your survival and communicates that through your emotions and the hormones it releases.
Almost everyone will picture the man on stage dancing like a chicken or some other person acting completely out of character when they think of hypnosis. When we hear the word 'mind control,' we automatically think of self-hypnosis. However, self-hypnosis is not mind control, as you are in full control and it is completely your choice.
Hypnosis is a natural state of consciousness. It's that moment just before you are about to fall asleep. In a naturally relaxed state of consciousness, you are able to tune out the everyday sounds around you, such as your husband snoring or traffic outside. Practising this state of mind and then applying it to your birth, being able to zone out from noise and distractions around you, is POWERFUL. It's like creating a lovely birth bubble, allowing your body to relax and do its thing as you zone out from the sensations in your body and your surroundings.
