Calm birth
Calm Birth: The New Potential of Childbirth
We can’t always wait for the chance to escape to a Himalayan cave to restore mental clarity, energy, and balance; we tend to need the gifts meditation brings more than ever during pregnancy, labor, and parenthood.
Calm Birth is a set of three respected practices from meditation science. Practice of these methods helps women tap their innate ability to birth from a place of calm awareness and strength. The practices can balance hormonal function, calm the mind, reduce stress, strengthen the immune system, heal the nervous system, enhance prenatal bonding with baby, and offer powerful tools for pain management in preparation for childbirth. The program also offers Calm Mother, an essential companion CD for the year after childbirth.
I offer group and private classes, both of which are accompanied by an audioguide CD of the meditations and the Calm Birth book.
Please see http://www.calmbirth.org for more detailed information on the practices. Those wishing to begin practice with the CD as soon as possible are welcome to purchase one on the Calm Birth web site or through me.
"Calm Birth is a sublime gift to all of us. It contains the blueprint for reconnecting with birth wisdom on all levels... doing the practices will transform the birth process and imprint a peaceful beginning in both mother and child. The positive impact of this on society can't be overestimated."
-- Christiane Northrup, M.D., author, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and Mother Daughter Wisdom
