Meditations to Support a Healthy Pregnancy & Successful Childbirth - Powerful, Inspiring Guided Imagery for Carrying a Baby through Labor & Delivery
Product Description This meditation for pregnancy and childbirth offers powerful and effective guided imagery and affirmations on how to best prepare for carrying and delivering a baby. This is a natural, holistic, mind-body tool for anyone anticipating a pregnancy or expecting a baby, to help with the discomforts, anxieties and unwanted symptoms that can accompany this incomparable life experience. Guided imagery is an evidence-based, hypnotic technique that consists of positive words and images, set to soothing music, to achieve specific health or performance goals. Using this meditation during pregnancy sets up powerful pre-conditions for success. Repeated listening once or twice a day for 2-3 weeks ensures maximum impact. Written and narrated by guided imagery and holistic health expert Belleruth Naparstek and scored to the exquisitely soothing music of Steven Mark Kohn. The pregnancy meditation imagery inspires confidence in the body and gratitude for it, while promoting relaxation and feelings of safety, protection and support. It also reframes symptoms such as nausea and fatigue; and sets the stage for labor and delivery by enhancing the sense of connection with the baby within and with all the caring, protective, well-wishing ancestors who have come before. The guided imagery for preparing for childbirth offers breathing techniques for labor, providing hypnotic tools for easing discomfort, focusing the breath and working with contractions. It generates increased trust in the body s inherent wisdom and awe for the miraculous process of giving birth. Each track for pregnancy and childbirth has an accompanying set of positive affirmations, which provide briefer versions of the same empowering, reassuring images and ideas - especially suitable for those who prefer a shorter format to listen to while on the go or even while driving. This meditation is recommended for both mothers- and fathers-to-be, with the suggestion to sometimes listen together. Not generally recommended for those who have previously experienced a traumatic loss in pregnancy or childbirth, but sometimes helpful for those wishing to become pregnant. (120 minutes) Review This meditation was INVALUABLE to me during my pregnancy. I credit it with facilitating the healthy and successful childbirth of my first child. January 2012 --Ana Maria (reprinted from Health Journeys website)<br \><br \>I loved this! I also had a history of miscarriages, and this really helped relieve my anxiety and help me prepare for birth. I ended up with pre-eclampsia, and these cds helped me to stay calm during labor. I even managed to have a pain med-free birth despite being confined to my bed (notice I did not say pain-free!). Not the natural birth I had envisioned, but beautiful. And the nurses asked me what I was listening to I was so calm. October 2009 --Marie (reprinted from Health Journeys website)<br \><br \>I purchased this cd set for use in my childbirth classes I teach and I absolutely love them. I wish I had them for my deliveries. Everyone always asks where can they get them from. You, Belleruth are highly recommended by me.
