Why Hypnosis Works
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, the choices we make, and can actually control and eliminate pain.
There is no magic to achieving success with self-hypnosis.
When birthing your baby with HypnoBirthing, what you will experience is control and awareness, similar to the “daydreaming” or “focusing” that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or staring at a fire. You will be conversant and in good spirits—totally relaxed, but fully in control. You will be aware of your body’s contractions (surges), but because of your state of deep relaxation, your muscles will work smoothly and in harmony, instead of against each other (creating pain) as when fear and tension are present. 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, involved, aware and thrilled!
