Hypnosis in Summary

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 and the choices we make. It can actually control pain.

There is no magic to achieving success with self-hypnosis. Almost anyone who chooses to can reach deep relaxation and redirected focus.

When having your baby with HypnoBirthing® what you will experience is similar to day-dreaming or the focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or staring at a fire. You will be conversant and in good spirits and totally relaxed but fully in control.

You will be aware of your uterine contractiions, but HypnoBirthing® mothers describe them as "pressure" rather than pain.

Your body’s natural pain killers (endorphins) replace the stress hormones that create pain. When it’s time for your baby to be born, you will not be exhausted but fully awake and involved.
