Smiling During Labor?

People ask when I work with clients, how do i notice the changes that occur in a pregnant mom, when she is ready for the birth of her baby.

Most moms are unaware how important their thoughts are in every moment of their life, and particularly in labor.

Most of the time I notice this slight change in her attitude, her behavior, her demeanor. When she begins her thinking from fear position, and continues into the questions and doubts, her face reflects that pain. She says that she wants to avoid the pain, but in fact, she behaves on the opposite.

Fear is natural and healthy when it allows a natural effective mechanism for normal survival. In labor time to be in fear is opposite to being effective.

Educating herself to know what happens during labor is important because it eliminates fear. Knowing the facts is power. Being empowered by knowledge gives the woman strength needed to complete laboring.

Showing the posture, position, breathing of the woman who is in peace and ready for the birth, she begins her labor and moves and breathes in a way that is relaxed and peaceful.

When she begins with a question: What do I want for this birth? the answer begins to emerge to show her what is possible.

Immediately, the possibilities are endless. She can begin to create her own peaceful world and move in it with an attitude that reflects her belief, that is emerged from her value system:

I am mother
My body knows what to do
My baby knows what to do
I trust my body

Affirming what she wants (as opposed to affirming what she does not want, what moms usually do unknowingly) she begins to sort for the signs in the environment confirming what begins to happen toward the birth that she wants.

She recognizes those signs and acknowledges them with a smile.

The baby reflectively moved down the birthing path in her womb, out of her womb, and out into the world, being healthy and feeling loved. And all the while she continues to smile.

HypnoBirthing is about Hypnotic Techniques Like Breathing for Birthing

Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention to the exclusion of everything else. Nothing else. Trust me. I have been teaching hypnotic techniques for over 10 year.

Once you concentrated your attention on some activity, like reading a book, or breathing,  you enter in a hypnotic trance.

Besides, setting you at ease, relaxing and developing your imagination, as in meditation, hypnotic trances are a very healthy state. Research shows that regular use of hypnosis, self-hypnosis or meditation improves immune system and other functions in our body.

Very few know this and most are deathly afraid if hypnosis. So let me tell you.

The top model Gisele chose natural birth in water. She insisted to get this right in the papers, as it is important to her to show that the birth that she had was NOT a medicated hospital birth.

She used breathing and relaxation. That's hypnosis.

One hypnotic exercise we teach in the HypnoBirthing class is Deep Breathing for labor.  A recent student mom in my HypnoBirthing class could not breathe deeply. All she could do is inhale on 3 - 1,2,3,  and exhale on the count of 2: 1, and 2. Blowing all the air out at once. She just could not do it. 

It took a little adjustment and relaxation before she could inhale on 4 and exhale on 6. Three weeks later she is doing so well as inhale on 8 and exhale on 10. 

What did she do in those three weeks?

Just practice. Practice breathing and practice with intention. 

Her intention was to have her baby a natural way, just as nature intended, peacefully, and comfortably, with no emergencies, somewhat like celebrities do. 

Two weeks from now she is due to have her baby. Wait for an update. 

Sabina (mom from a class two months ago) said I was tough on her. She could not find the time, she was a busy lady). I showed her a choice. I showed her a video of a birth that was quiet.  A real birth. Peaceful and quiet. She wanted that. That made her practice her breathing. Now she is happy to have birthed her first baby peacefully and with a feeling of comfort. Here is her testimonial:

"Morrin, you are a wonderful teacher. I am so glad I met you. (My husband) and I are thankful for your work with us so we could do what we did - had a peaceful birth. (Husband) was frantic at first and then I reminded him to be focused. He then as if flipped a switch. He stayed focused and guided me the entire time of labor. Your insisting on my practice my breathing was key to my success. Thank you for teaching us." Sabina, 38.

What birth do you want?

Miscarriage and Life the Life You Want

I received a letter in response to my previous post from someone who experienced extensive losses. For some reason the posting of that letter directly onto the blog did not work. I will respond to this letter through this blog now.

The author was alerting me that my post seemed upfront and "insensitive" to her in her grieving process.

Let me respond. There is no disrespect intended to anyone. Secondly, I realize that if you have any kind of a response you probably are still grieving, and experiencing inner resistance to my words.  I don't address this to any particular person in any particular case, all private work is done personally one-on-one. Whereas all of the audiences' concerns are actual and valid, my intent is to remind all of you that the power of your mind is enormous. "When you have the right conception you will conceive." Direct your thoughts and intentions forward toward what you want.  This is a discussion of the position you can choose to take, a choice you make and not an advice of any kind. This is all there is to say in a nutshell.

I am a hypnotherapist and I work with fertility issues, as well as safe, comfortable and intended birthing of that baby. I work with people who are wiling and able to put their discord behind them and want my help to bring their life to the next level, where they can experience the exquisite life of their intent, not just a mediocre existence. I have consistent success with conception. But this work is not for everyone. It is a very exclusive, intent work only for those who  indeed want to experience extraordinary.

My post was directed to some of my clients as well as for all who are interested. I am glad it stirs up the thinking. If an expression of my opinion, as well as the line of my work is interesting to you, let me know, and we can meet for further discussion. In no way these posts can be considered medical advice. I am  merely suggesting a consideration and change in thought.

Transformational change is the primary direction with my work. It may include shaking your beliefs and myths about yourself. I often emphasize that where you put your attention there you get results. Whereas I sympathyze with your losses, defeats and disappointments, judging from your post, you are a strong person, with determined character, and a will to succeed in having the life that you want. You know exactly what you want. I can see that. Here I am suggesting that you will be able to have what you want when you put your attention to it, all that from the position of opportunity not from the position of lack. Position of opportunity, not a position of lack. Then your life unfolds surprises, including divine timing and soul connection with your baby, lessons learned and peace found from it.

Last month I went overseas to teach spiritual classes to groups of people who lost their loved ones. We spoke on souls connection and lessons learned. Each individual then had a spiritual personal connection with their loved one, and in a state of higher consciousness received channeled answers from their loved ones contributing to learning their lessons. Spiritual soul connection and integration of lessons is tightly connected with loss of loved ones. The group then worked with the intent of creating the outcome for the group and for each individual so the future becomes present.

I believe that we are all connected. And when we realize this connection, learn about the past, and make decisions about the future, we begin to move forward, not backward. This is how the process of living the life is organized.  Each person takes as much time as needed for them to process what they feel is important to them. Grieving, coping can take years and become a habit.  All I do is just remind you of that natural process of life learning and moving on.

I will see that your thoughts get posted, as well as any replies to this message.

With Love and Light,

Morrin
