Guided Visulization for Childbirth

A story of what it is like to have a baby, from the perspective of a mother, grandmother, healer and obstetric nurse for over 30 years. A meditation for listeners to create a comfortable, easy, natural birth for themselves. You can do it, millions of women have done it before you; your body knows what to do.

Tracks:

• 1 Complete guided visualization; includes music to relax and open energy field by Marsha Read with a background of ocean waves. (24:30)
• 2 Only ocean waves; to play during childbirth to activate relaxation or used during independent visualization. (16:56)
• 3 Voice with ocean waves; full length guided visualization. (24:09)
• 4 Voice with ocean waves; short guided visualization for when you are pressed for time. (12:03)

Tips for Use:

• You can listen to the audio anytime during your pregnancy to promote relaxation. After 36 weeks gestation, begin listening regularly a minimum of 4-5 times a week until the birth of your baby.
• Listen in a position that is comfortable. It works even if you fall asleep listening to the audio.
• The word “rush” has been used in stead of contraction making a positive association for the mind so you can imagine energy rushing or flowing through the body. Many women find childbirth to be a pleasurable experience.
• It is suggested to listen to the longer version as you begin to become associated with the entire visualization, then later use the short version if time is limited.
