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's the hard drive of our mind.
When having a baby with HypnoBirthing ®, what you will experience is similar to the daydreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a good book, or staring at a fire. You will be conversant and in good spirits - totally relaxed but fully in control. You will experience your birthing in an atmosphere of calm and relaxation, without the fear and tension that causes pain. Your body's natural anesthesia (endorphins) will replace the stress hormones that create pain. When it's time for your baby to be born, you will be fully awake and involved. You will have trained your mind and body to allow a most natural process to occur.
True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
