The Blissborn Method
Hypnosis for Birth
“Let Go,” that’s it, “Let Go.” That is the self-hypnosis trigger, which brings about instant relaxation with the Blissborn Birth Hypnosis method. This self-hypnosis discovery gives mom a great deal of relief when she realizes that this incredible self-empowering tool delivers freedom from believing she has to have will power, or that her only choice is to have an epidural. Instead, she trains herself to drift into the space within herself where all of the essential energy for this stage of pregnancy and birth are gathered, and she realizes she was built for a better birth.
Blissborn combines the best of the science, medical knowledge, mind body therapy and childbirth education. It presents simple but powerful techniques to manage the seemingly paradoxical relationship between staying in control and simply allowing birth to happen.
Classes concentrate on hypnosis. Many birth hypnosis classes available mention hypnosis but really they are relaxation classes. Because Blissborn educators are teaching what they are trained in, hypnosis and hypnotherapy, and totally concentrating on powerful hypnosis techniques, in every class you will experience hypnosis. In fact, much of your learning happens while in hypnosis.
Most moms come into the class with differing expectations, however, the one common question is, “Can I control the pain?” This is one of several fears that you will learn to face and release. You will learn to identify fears that could derail an otherwise perfect birth and transform them into calm and confidence. By facing fear before labor, learning how it affects the baby, and how it makes labor more painful, mom learns how to reprogram her old beliefs to make labor shorter and easier, think more clearly, keep mental focus and control and reduce baby’s stress and trauma. Mom learns to turn the fear-tension-pain cycle into the peace-relaxation-comfort cycle.
Working with the energy of birth is an essential tool to carry in your tool belt. You will learn the secrets of the mind that have allowed people to reduce and change sensations in their bodies and suffering in their minds for thousands of years by experimenting with both physical and philosophical pain. You will learn how to control the elements of pain signal transmission, and how you can control or stop pain through hypnosis. Through hypnosis, you will become more objective about sensations, allowing you the emotional distance to work with them and the clarity to choose new positive meanings for them; you will learn to think of contractions in terms of how much they accomplish instead of how they feel. You will learn to appreciate that your body is designed for birth and surrender to the energy of birth.
You will realize that, as each class has built on the last, you have learned the techniques to realize the birth that you and your partner envision. You will have learned to communicate with your baby regarding the birth journey. You will know how to change the way you experience time in labor. You will have expressed your choices during labor and birth as well as your choices after birth, and you will trust your body’s wisdom to do its best. You will emerge from a Blissborn class prepared to take hypnosis beyond birth and use your skills to achieve any goal, and will join past generations when you step into your power and embrace a new way of being.
