Join the increasing number of women who listen to this safe and easy to use CD to prepare emotionally, physically and mentally for childbirth. By listening to the CD during pregnancy, you are effectively rehearsing the way you will act both physically as well as emotionally during the birthing process. The 35 minute audio CD takes you through a deep relaxation and breathing exercises followed by a detailed guided visualisation of the birthing process in your own home environment.
The suggestions on the CD put in place specific triggers so that when all the way through the birthing process, you remain calm, relaxed and feeling in control. The suggestions build in the sights and sounds of your home environment eg "....and being at home encourages you to sink even deeper into relaxation", "the familiar sights around you increase your confidence in your bodies ability to birth your baby".
Remember that pain in labour is predominantly the result of tension in your body, and tension is the result of fear. By rehearsing your birth over and over again in your mind, any fear of the birth becomes less and less as your mind and body become familiar with the instinctive process of birthing. So once you have taken away the fear, your body will be far more relaxed, so by removing the tension, you will naturally reduce the pain. Once you have listened to the CD many times (it is recommended that you listen to it at least 20 times), your mind and body become more and more comfortable with the concept of a calm birth at home. As the mind does not know the difference between imagination and reality, once labour actually starts your mind simply responds in the way it has rehearsed over and over again.
