Hello again, and apologies for the long gap between blogs! I have been busy completing my pregnancy and baby gift sets and attended the recent Baby show at Eden Court in Inverness.
This is my latest offering and your comments and feedback are much appreciated. I will send a free CD to the first interesting comment received. Enjoy!
Why listen to a pregnancy hypnotherapy CD
More women are opting to use hypnobirthing techniques to help them relax during pregnancy and prepare for a natural birth. I am going to discuss what Hypnobirthing and pregnancy hypnotherapy is, and the key benefits of using a hypnosis CD to support your preparation during pregnancy.
What is pregnancy hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy has been used as a healing technique for centuries, and was coined from ‘Hypnos’ the Greek god of sleep. Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state similar to daydreaming, neither awake nor asleep. During hypnosis breathing slows, and muscles relax deeply whilst the mind remains alert to positive suggestions. Research has suggested that hypnotherapy may reduce pain, ease anxiety and significantly reduce the length of labour.
Hypnotherapy during pregnancy helps you to prepare physically, mentally and emotionally for a natural, calm pain free labour and birth. My pregnancy hypnotherapy CD uses a combination of techniques such as deep breathing, profound physical relaxation, visualizations and glove anaesthesia techniques.
Reasons to use a pregnancy hypnosis CD
1. Relaxation. Achieving deep physical and mental relaxation promotes the release of your own natural analgesia, (endorphins) and oxytocin the’ love hormone’ during labour and birthing
2. Eases morning sickness. Listening to positive suggestions and visualizations, hypnotherapy may help to reduce anxiety, sooth the digestive tract and promote feelings of physical and emotional wellbeing.
3. Bond with baby. Simple visualization techniques help you to bond with your baby during pregnancy
4. Helps you sleep. Many women find listening to a CD at night hugely beneficial as it encourage deep relaxation, physical comfort and promotes restful sleep, which may be more difficult as your bump gets bigger as pregnancy progresses.
5. Preparation for natural childbirth and parenting. Practicing techniques such as deep breathing, deep relaxation, visualizations and glove anaesthesia provide a wonderful toolbox for supporting labour, birth and early parenting.
6. Home comforts. Although a session with a hypnotherapist or attending a HypnoBirthing class brings the greatest benefits, many women cannot attend structured classes due to work commitments or other children. A pregnancy CD brings a hypnotherapy session to you in the comfort of your own home whenever you want.
