About HypnoBirthing®
What is Hypnosis?
There is no magic to achieving success with self-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. Anyone who
so chooses can reach a state of deep relaxation and redirected focus.
When having your baby with HypnoBirthing, what you experience will
be similar to daydreaming or the focusing that occurs when you are
engrossed in a book, your favorite movie, or staring at a fire. In
that state you are conversant and in good spirits – totally
relaxed and completely in control. When preparing for birth, you
will be aware of your body's contractions but will be able to determine
the extent to which you feel the surge. You will experience your
birthing in an atmosphere of calm and relaxation, without the fear
and tension that cause pain. Your body's natural anesthesia (endorphins)
will replace the stress hormones that create pain. You are always
aware of your environment and have power over every situation.![]()
