Hypnosis is one of the most beautiful states available to all people. It is a state of keen awareness, a state where the mind works so well and the law of self-preservation works so beautifully that nobody can take advantage of you when you are in the hypnotic state. You are able to recall your most distant memories when you are in a hypnotic trance. You are able to re-experience joy or sadness from your earlier years, to go back and rectify painful situations that continue to bother you and thereby increase the quality of your present.

The beautiful state of hypnosis is excellent for medical and dental procedures because it contains a natural powerful anesthesia free of dangerous side effects. Likewise, hypnosis is powerful in the aid of childbirth. The mother remains alert and oriented and she retains ability to focus on her baby’s progression as she emerges into this world.

Hypnosis for Birthing: HypnoBirthing

HypnoBirthing the Mongan Method re-teaches the mother the natural method for birthing her child. Most women instinctively know how to birth, but we have been taught over the centuries that birth is a dangerous medical situation, and that all children should be born in a hospital setting.

Physicians are trained to treat illness aggressively and to take extraordinary measures to ensure that their patients recover back to good health. This practice is excellent in the presence of pathology, but is utterly misplaced with a healthy mother and a healthy pregnancy.

How HypnoBirthing and Hypnosis Helps Mothers

HypnoBirthing teaches self-hypnosis to the mother, which enables her to reach a state of deep relaxation. As she relaxes more and more, deeper and deeper, she reaches a feeling of well-being and contentment, which makes it possible for her to benefit from the released endorphins.

Fear erects a barrier against reaching a relaxed hypnotic state. When a mother approaches labor with unresolved fear and stress her body is already on the defensive and the stressor hormone catecholamine is released. A baby born under those circumstances arrives tense because he is reacting to his mother’s state.

Babies deserve the very best we can offer them both for their own sake and for the future of our society. Natural birth, birth free of mechanical and chemical interventions, is the best we can offer our babies. Consequently, mothers need to return to the natural ways of birthing.
