The Magic of Hypnosis

The Magic of Hypnosis for Birth

How helpful is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is an ancient form of healing dating back to the times of ancient India and Egypt.  Hypnosis is still widely used in modern China instead of anesthesia for many surgical procedures. “ it helps the person to stay relaxed and de-stressed,” says Joanne Marrow, PhD., professor emeritus at Cal State Sacramento.    The common side effects of therapeutic hypnosis are: improved self-image and confidence, and a profound sense of achievement and empowerment.

How Does It Work?

How you prepare you mind and body is the singular most important factor for the successful outcome of your birth.  Far too often our joy and excitement are over-shadowed by fear, uncertainty and questionable self-confidence. With the help of a professional Hypnotherapist you can reach and embrace your ability to change your state of fear, worry and stress into calm and self-confidence. When your mind, body, and soul are in harmony, you have essentially created the perfect balance for physical comfort, mental relaxation and emotional confidence. Relaxation, achieved through self-hypnosis techniques, releases the fear and tensions that cause long labor. Therefore, pain is lessened and in some cases even eliminated. This is not to say that you will not experience any sensations during labor and delivery, this is to say that hypnosis can redirect your experience of the intensity of labor from an unmanageable sensation, to something you can comfortably manage.  Fear creates tension and tension creates pain. Fear also makes the body release adrenalin, which contracts all muscles preparing for the ‘fight or flight’ reaction, and catecholamine which is a hormone which closes the cervix in response to fear.  In essence the body recognizes fear as a dangerous situation and tells the body to stop labor and flee.  Using hypnosis before labor to understand where the fears lay and during labor recalling how you have learned to achieve a state of total relaxation, labor can transform into a very pleasant and sacred experience. The negative cycle (OMG what is happening to me I cannot handle this) is replaced with confidence, calm, and comfort (my baby and I are working hard to bring a new life into this world.) Through hypnosis, a naturally induced state of relaxed concentration, suggestions are communicated to the subconscious mind.

Can you do it on your own?

Yes. With the help of self-hypnosis audio tapes or CDs, you can train yourself to reach a state of relaxation that can and will help you achieve the birthing experience you desire.  Of course the help of a professional before the birth and during it insures that you will stay on course.  But if you are willing to stay focus and use the techniques learned you can achieve a painless experience. Our subconscious mind directly influences what we think, how we feel, and the choices we make.

Where Do I Find These CDs?

The suggestions used in our Joy In Birthing Bundle technique assure that old beliefs about birthing are replaced by new empowering beliefs that return birthing to the beautiful, peaceful experience nature intended. You may purchase our CD here. Our goal is to help you embrace the miraculous and sacred rite of passage that birthing is for every woman.

Changing Behavior

Once ingrained in our childhood, most behavior becomes largely automatic; we experience a stimulus or trigger and react without conscious thought.  That is why trying to change behavior, emotions or improve physical performance by using only our self-will often fails.   It has nothing to do with our intentions, or our commitment to the change, or our will power: our minds just don’t work that way.  We need to uncover the roots of the behavior, discover how and when they trigger us in our conscious living, heal and rebirth a new behavior now rooted in self-love and self-acceptance working with a hypnotherapist can help you o just that.
In order to achieve our goals, we need to empower ourselves and be ready to change some aspects of our being to make room for another expression of G-d, or our individual notion of a power greater than ourselves.   Your comfort with your role as a mother often depends on what others have told you about who you are and what you should expect; the role your own mother played in your life; and the information you have gotten from friends, relatives, books and or your care provider.  It is up to you to decide: you can live by what others say you should be/do/ or think; or you can take full responsibility for your state – here and now. If your mental and spiritual programming is based upon fear and worry there is only so much you can do on your own to manage your state during labor and delivery.  The waves of labor will take over your conscious state and you unconscious will run wild with whatever information you have given it.

What would you give birth to if you felt safe, nurtured, confident, loved and lovable?

Discovering the womb and taking those first steps to clear, cleanse and open its infinite vastness is an essential piece of the healing journey for every woman, and every man in relationship with a woman.
Womb work doesn’t “do” anything, it “gives” you everything. It’s a discovering, an un-veiling and a re-membering. It’s the true orientation for a woman to be coming from, to be centered in. It gives us back our true house, our place of being so that we may rise up and into the heart with strong rooted foundations and a sense of Earthly reality. It’s the rock upon which we are built.

The Womb is the deep silence, the sound knowledge of truth and the loving embrace that holds us all together, as a life form within all life forms. The womb reveals to us true sight, deep feeling and a sense of support and belonging that is second to none. When all else fails in life, the womb remains as that pillar to lean against, that rock to hold onto and those arms to cry in.

The womb is a part of the soul embodied, here on Earth deep within the human form. Without a doubt it is a woman’s most reliable, trusted and safe home. During the beginning stages of Healing the Womb this will become her most precious and treasured discovery. It is the place that does not move, and you will discover a part of yourself that is eternal, ever-present and easily reached.
The difference between the Soul and the womb is that the womb is physical, located in the body and a part of the body that women know so well. The Soul at first is seemingly etheric, out of reach and non-physical. But they both merge in the human form through the womb.

The Womb leads us to the seed of our being, our first creative spark. It invites us to be re-born, regenerated and resurrected. It is a cave of pure creativity where we are the creator. The Womb is your inner council where you will discover your doctor, surgeon, adviser, confidant, sage, decision-maker and artist. Every face and facet of your being has roots into the womb, and the womb is the clearest domain to have that meeting.
Ultimately the womb leads us to Womb of all life, the beginning and the end of all known and unknown universes. It is the place upon which all of life simply must travel through to be created. When you realize this, you can begin to create within your own womb, placing projects and hearts desires within its field to be birthed into the world.
Transmuting with the womb is another “gift” of the womb. The womb has the facility to be able to contain and transmute negative or harming energies, stripping away the orientation of the negativity into a pure state of neutrality. This stage of working with the womb comes only after it has been cleared, and with the guidance and instruction of a womb teacher.


To live with your womb open brings you a gift and state of being that was previously unknown. You feel beautiful, gorgeous, rich and sensual without the “edge” of threat perceived from other women. You are non-threatening in your beauty and happiness within your body. You ooze nature, life, promise and pure joy.
There is a sense of belonging to nature, to the whole world and that belonging naturally extends to all other life. Again, I could even extend to say that living from the womb is a life lived without fear.
Duality dissolves, there is an inherent “rightness” about life and this ease of being is seen, felt, cherished and hopelessly given to all.

However, an open womb also comes with a self-responsibility as its magnificence is very attracting and will draw attention. During the beginning stages it is advised to place yourself within healthy and productive environments and situations. As you progress you can begin to turn around seemingly negative situations and places back into a non-harming co-existence with the rest of all life.
It is essential that a woman be taken to the fullness of her being. Living without the womb is like living without the Soul. Without the open womb, life will only exist, not be lived through. It simply has to be known, discovered and entered.

Its importance is transmuting, clear sight, creating fields of energy that regenerate yourself and your partner in love making, connection to the web of life and this foundation deep within your being.
The most important reason I saved for last. A clear and open womb is the channel for the next generations of humankind to come through. By giving birth to new souls here on earth is one of the surest ways to elevate the future of mankind. Birthing through the open and healed womb, nurturing and rearing with a mother with an open womb and growing up in an environment where your child sleeps and rests within the field of the womb, will and can be a life lived with only instinctive fears ever being experienced.
That being will grow into an adult faster than the rest of us, and be part of a new generation that herald in the New Humanity.

It is every man’s rightful place to know the power of the womb, and how an open womb holds the key to his own re-birth. By being with a woman either journeying into the open womb, or already established within one, a man has the invitation to become a Divine Man. In no uncertain terms, if a man is with a woman with an open womb he will surely have the chance to face his deepest fears in the sanctity of a loving depth that is steady, enduring and powerful. It won’t necessary be comfortable at all times, but it will bring him the key to his own transformation.

When making love with a woman with an open womb, the man will stand the chance of experiencing a deep trance like meditative state. It has to be known that this nurturing and completely trustworthy energy that is often only used to birth children is also readily available to adults through the open womb. All men, whether they know this or not is searching for this feeling once more. It is a driving force, which often gets distorted into searching for a mother figure. That is not it. That is not what he is searching for. But because of this knowledge being hidden, only now can men identity what it is they are looking for. After love making, together both the man and the woman will fall into or rather pour themselves into a very deep theta state, which is undeniable and vast. Upon completion of this deep journey into realms and dimensions that are countless. Both man and women will return back to the alpha state, fully restored, full of vital energy and in a sense, resurrected.

Throughout the ages in every civilization there has been a hidden pathway, a secret technology which enables the individual to reach the ultimate potential. That greatness is within every one of us. Deep within you, there is this voice waiting to arise … a voice that you know, but which has been buried. This voice is not outside you in gurus or masters. It is the Voice of your Womb.

The Womb is the key generator of tremendous creative potential, vitality, sensuality, heart power and manifestation. It not only births children, but projects, spiritual potential, personal healing and the depths of relating we all yearn for. It brings fullness, balance and loving power to your deepest relationships, and is the crucible for Sacred Union between man and woman, woman to woman, and even man to man. It is vital for men to know, understand and work with as the womb births the divine masculine.

The Womb is the foundation of a woman, the rich soil and immovable centre of silent power that allows the heart to bloom and open safely and fully. It has been covered by fear, betrayal, judgment, ignorance, sexual issues and the loss/ abuse of power. Its wisdom and power have been forgotten by most people, and deliberately hidden by others because it is the link to the Creator, found in every woman.

Conscious birthing, conscious pregnancy and conscious parenting are a big part of the new paradigm for both men and women, and Womb Wisdom is the key to this. Clearing and opening the womb allows the new children to be birthed in a new way at a high vibration. If the mother is clear, then a higher frequency child soul will come into her body. These new children are our future, the basis for an awakened human civilization.
What would you give birth to if you felt safe, nurtured, confident, loved and lovable? Close your eyes and imagine that you could wave a magic wand and suddenly feel completely safe, nurtured, confident loved and lovable. Imagine that you felt completely comfortable and at ease with your body. What would that look like, feel like? What keeps you from being there?

There are many ways to open the Womb. With them all combined, the Womb becomes a Vessel for Source.

Physical: through cleansing, diet, herbs, exercise, healing breath work and energy flow, salt baths, massage, touch, embraces.
Sexual : through Sacred Union
Creative:  Drawing, dancing, being in nature, returning back to natural timings, singing, writing.
Spiritual: meditation, prayers, connecting with the Creator or Higher Self or Higher Power, Mother Nature or whatever you like to call a power greater then yourself.
Mental: though hypnosis, recreating and redesigning past hurtful experiences.

PLACENTA UMBILICAL HEALING

The placenta is the first mother to each of us. It is our first connection and interface to the 3D world, and is our first nourisher, supporter, and companion. It feeds us, and is there for us, providing all we need to survive, to grow, and to be born. It is our sustainer and protector, our first love, the first experience of unconditional love we receive, and the twin with us in the womb.
The placenta is our first guardian, and protector. What consequences arise when we are separated from it? Could it be our first trauma, and separation? When our umbilical cord is prematurely cut, we are separated from our lifeforce and soul connection, still pulsing through the cord connecting us to our first mother. And this separation creates fear, borne out of disrespect, ignorance and contempt for the deeper connection between life, love, mother and child.

The loss, abandonment, and grief that we can experience in our unformed minds and bodies as we enter this world brutally and prematurely cut off from the nurturing, unconditionally loving envelope of the placenta in the womb is a huge conditioning and loss for us that can affect our lives. We actually experience these emotions for the first time in the body in this action of cutting off of placenta cords, for before this we, placenta, womb and mother were one. It is our first separation in this world.
The placenta also holds an aspect of our twin soul or divine double connection, for the first experience we have on the earth plane of our twin soul is the placenta in the womb that we first bonded with. When the trauma of this separation is healed, we can deeply relax and let go, as we find this connection within ourselves, and no longer feel so drawn to finding it outside. We feel our own source of nourishment and deep inner peace, comfort, and contentment that we may look outside for, in intimate relationship within us. We no longer feel the desperate need for another, to find ourselves in somebody outside of our own self. This allows us to engage in life with a new sense of freedom, peace, and balance found from healing your inner loss at this deep separation.

AMYGDALA HEALING

Located deep in the reptilian brain, the amygdala detects danger or emotion associated with past experiences from childhood and / or past lives that were stamped within the brain as being dangerous or emotionally significant. The amygdala, named similarly to Magdalene, handles our emotions and triggers in us the fight-or-flight response just as it did in caveman days.
Past traumas, emotional memories, and barriers to our deepest fulfillments and healings are stored in the amygdala, which keep playing out in vicious cycles of reaction. This needs healing. It affects the feminine part of your brain that holds memories and feelings of having separated from the masculine qualities of strength, courage, power, wisdom and will. It affects the masculine part of your brain that holds memories and feelings of having separated from the feminine qualities of love, nurturing, caring, compassion, empathy, tenderness and kindness.

The amygdala in conjunction with the hippocampus also contributes to the production of sexual feelings and dualities, as well as unusual and fearful phenomenon including out-of-body states, hallucinogenic and dream-like recollections, the experience of god, as well as demons and ghosts. It is the amygdala which enables us to experience emotions such as love and religious rapture, as well as the ecstasy associated with orgasm, and the dread associated with the unknown.
The amygdala is the heart chakra of the brain. When it opens, the whole brain starts to become healed, as the light and love radiates from the amygdala to the other brain centres. It governs heart wisdom, the love brain, and emotional intelligence. Thinking with the heart, responding and feeling with the brain. It is connected to expression in the present moment in a responsive way, to precisely what is occurring.
The amygdala is part of the portal to the feminine entrance to the third eye, found at the back of the brain. When it opens, the third eye starts to open up softly. Essential oils such as rose, amber, frankincense and myrrh help to stimulate and sooth the amygala, especially if done in an activation session.
What if we looked at the word and saw it as a verb? Womb: verb: to create and cultivate safety and healing both inside your body and in your life.

Create a safe foundation within and become more self-confident. A healthy womb is essential to your sexuality, self-worth and joy. Wombing gives you the support and freedom to be wild. Heal your relationship with the feminine. Claim your mothering gifts to nurture yourself. Gain access to your creative energy and fully experience your life. It’s time for you to give birth to you!

New Data Show Connection Between Childbirth and Spirituality

- Spiritual beliefs may have a place in the clinical assessment for women having babies -

WASHINGTON—While having a safe and healthy birth is typically a primary concern for pregnant women, new research shows that most women view childbirth as a spiritual experience as well. The just-published research shows that women across diverse cultures correlate having a baby with “growing closer to God.”
The study, published in the spring issue of the Journal of Perinatal Education, found that understanding the spiritual dimensions of childbirth is essential in clinical settings.  As such, authors of the study recommend clinicians include the question, “Do you have any spiritual beliefs that will help us better care for you?” during their clinical assessment.
“Childbirth and motherhood provide many women with an ideal context in which to recognize the spiritual aspect of their lives,” said Lynn Clark Callister, R.N., Ph.D., FAAN, a professor of nursing at the Brigham Young University College of Nursing and study co-author.  “Our research illustrates that for most women, childbirth is a deeply spiritual experience.  As healthcare providers, we need to recognize and support this evidence, and listen to women’s voices to guide their care.”
In their study titled “Spirituality in Childbearing Women,” authors Callister and Inaam Khalaf, R.N., Ph.D., dean and professor of nursing at the University of Jordan Faculty of Nursing, discovered five themes in a secondary analysis of the published and unpublished narrative data collected over the past 20 years from about 250 culturally diverse women.
“This study is both insightful and intuitive,” said Sharon Dalrymple, president of Lamaze International.  “It’s no surprise to see a woman’s spirituality is an important part of her well-being, but it’s interesting to consider how this information can be used by women and their healthcare professionals to enrich and further empower women when they are giving birth.”
The themes that emerged in the study included: childbirth as a time to grow closer to God, the use of religious beliefs and rituals as powerful coping mechanisms, childbirth as a time to make religiosity more meaningful, the significance of a Higher Power in influencing birth outcomes and childbirth as a spiritually transforming experience.
“At Lamaze, we understand childbirth is not just another day in a woman’s life, childbirth is a major life event and it can be a transformative experience that profoundly affects women and their families for generations to come,” continued Dalrymple.  “It is important to acknowledge the inherently spiritual nature of childbirth and create a birth environment that lets women give birth simply and safely.  A key component to creating this environment is avoiding unnecessary medical interventions.”
To support women in their efforts to have safe and healthy births, Lamaze International developed the Six Healthy Birth Practices based on recommendations by the World Health Organization and backed by extensive research that support a woman’s natural ability to give birth.  The Six Healthy Birth Practices are:

•Let labor begin on its own
•Walk, move around and change positions throughout labor
•Bring a loved one, friend or doula for continuous support
•Avoid interventions that are not medically necessary
•Avoid giving birth on your back and follow your body's urges to push
•Keep mother and baby together; it's best for mother, baby and breastfeeding
To learn more about Lamaze’s Six Healthy Birth Practices, please enroll in a Lamaze childbirth education class and visit http://www.lamaze.org/Default.aspx?tabid=251.
About Lamaze International
Lamaze International promotes a natural, healthy and safe approach to pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting practices.  Knowing that pregnancy and childbirth can be demanding on a woman’s body and mind, Lamaze serves as a resource for information about what to expect and what choices are available during the childbearing years.  Lamaze education and practices are based on the best and most current medical evidence available.  Working closely with their families, health care providers and Lamaze educators, millions of pregnant women have achieved their desired childbirth outcomes using Lamaze practices.  The best way to learn about Lamaze’s steps to a safe and healthy birth is to take a class with a Lamaze certified instructor.  To find classes in your area, or for more information visit www.lamaze.org.

Journal features provide practical resources and advice educators can use to enhance the quality and effectiveness of their teaching to prepare expectant parents for birth.

Infant Eczema

What is infant eczema?

Infant eczema is a topical skin rash, most frequently showing up any time after birth on the face, arms and legs but rarely in the diaper area. The rash can look like chapped, scaly skin or tiny red bumps that can blister or ooze, and are incredibly itchy. Eczema patches can be spread by scratching so it’s important to keep scratching to a minimum.
Anyone with a family history of eczema or respiratory illnesses has an increased likelihood of also getting infant eczema.

What causes infant eczema?

Infant Eczema is a hypersensitivity of the skin to irritants in the body, whether they be diet-related, respiratory (as in the case of asthma, allergies or hay fever), or a reaction to topical irritants such as chemicals in lotions, synthetic fabrics, or perfumes in laundry detergents, soaps or lotions.
Food sensitivities such as dairy can certainly be responsible for infant eczema, although only about one third of all babies and children have diet-related infant eczema.

Dairy – the #1 Food that can cause allergic reactions in a baby

Dairy is the single biggest culprit causing digestive problems in infants. In breastfed babies who exhibits rashes or stomach problems Moms should stay away from dairies for awhile to see if it may be the case of your baby’s fussiness, or discomfort. You may want to try to completely eliminate it for a period of two to four weeks to determine if it makes an impact in your baby’s comfort level. Kosher items labeled “Parve” are dairy-free. Be sure to read ingredient labels for hidden dairy and avoid the following items:

• Milk or milk fat
• Butter
• Cream
• Whey
• Whey protein
• Casein or caseinates
• Lactose
• Paneer

Sometimes your baby will not react to dairy in the form of yogurt or kefir but test with caution.
Other suspected causes are dust, dust mites, mold, pet dander or pollen. Once a baby develops infant eczema there are numerous triggers that cause recurrences such as sun exposure, heat, topical irritants and stress.

Treatments for infant eczema

Do:

• Keep your house a cool temperature with average humidity by using a humidifier or dehumidifier if necessary.
• Wash all bedding frequently and use a double rinse cycle on any of baby’s clothing or bedding items.
• Breastfeed your baby as much as possible to pass your anti-bodies onto your baby.
• If breastfeeding consider an elimination diet to see if any items in your diet are contributing to your baby’s eczema.
• Increase essential fatty acids in baby’s (if eating solids) or your diet. Fish oil, olive oil, avocado oil and flax seed oil are all good choices.
• Only dress your baby in well-ventilated natural fiber clothing.
• Consider seeing a naturopath if your baby is eating solids and seems to have no food sensitivities.

Avoid:

• Harsh chemicals
• Petroleum (can clog the pores)
• Scents or perfumes added to personal products or laundry detergents for both you and your baby.
• Synthetic fibers
• Overdressing your baby
• Over-stimulating situations and crying as much as possible.
• Sun exposure

Care for infant eczema

• Use only lukewarm water when bathing. You can add goat’s milk directly to the bath. For older babies, bathe daily to remove any irritants on skin like dirt, sweat or sun block (best not to use sun block at all.) Newborns don’t need bathing for cleaning purposes, but a warm bath can really sooth and tired and uncomfortable baby. Pouring grape seed oil in the bathtub water also keeps the skin moisturized.
• Use only a gentle, natural baby soap that doesn’t remove necessary skin oils or contain unnecessary scents or ingredients.
• Gently pat your baby’s skin mostly dry and then begin your moisturizing routine quickly to trap moisture from the bath in the skin.
• Instinctually you’d want to use something to alleviate the scaly skin, beware of products with fragrances, or worse cortisone, or steroids.
• Good moisturizers for eczema are Eucerin Aquaphore and Eucerin Plus Lotion. They soothe the infected skin. Another good remedy, that also works for cradle cap, is 100% food grade Grape Seed Oil, coconut oil/butter again food grade.  What I love about food grade oil is that if you can eat it probably is at its purest state.  For itching, you may use calamine lotion. Ask around or go to your health food store and see what they have. READ LABELS if it has fragrance or color stay away from it.

Are medications for infant eczema safe?

There is legitimate concern about medications marketed for eczema in babies. Dr. Greene’s excellent website has information on infant eczema treatment warnings. We believe that only natural products should ever touch a baby. What is deemed safe today by the FDA may turn into tomorrow’s recall once more testing is conducted.
Most pediatricians prescribe a 1% hydrocortisone cream, such as Locoid Lipocream, they say that one should take caution in African American babies with eczema because this cream bleaches the skin. But, think about it, if it can bleach the skin of an African American baby do you really want to put it on your baby?
The pediatrician should be contacted if the baby’s rashes do not improve with home remedies or if they worsen. Also, a pediatrician should be called if the baby gets a fever or infection or if blisters, redness, pain, oozing fluids or yellow crust occur.
