EMPOWERED PREGNANCY AND BIRTH
Through Relaxation and Visualization
This CD is designed to honor this
journey as the powerful right of passage that it is.
Wonderfully relaxing, it enables you to connect deeply with your body and your baby, and alleviates anxiety and fear.
Regular use of this tape will:
- Reframe negative beliefs about pregnancy and birth and create new levels of awareness
- Encourage self-nurturing & self-reliance while enhancing trust in, and cooperation with, the intelligence of the body
- Enhance deep relaxation and decrease anxiety
- Help in lowering blood pressure
- Teach positive coping and stress reduction skills
- Encourage vaginal birth after a cesarean
Useful for all pregnant women and especially those that are extremely anxious, intending a vaginal birth after a c-section, being treated for complications such as hypertension or any condition requiring increased rest.
It is especially helpful for “post dates” and rupture of membranes when labor has not started.
Track 1 is for daily use during pregnancy. This will give you the time and space to create a beautiful daily ritual for yourself, when the busy-ness of life can prevent that from happening. The routine of using this CD as ritual is a powerful expression of your ability to care for yourself (and of course, of the amazing life growing inside of you).
Track 2 is to use at full term to prepare for birth and to aid in initiating labor. Do not listen to track 2 until you are ready to go into labor (at least two weeks before your due date).
Proceeds of this CD benefit the non-profit organization, Midwives for Midwives, an organization dedicated to improving women's health care through midwifery.
