The Effect and Importance of Birth Affirmations: Creating a Positive Birth Experience
To promote a happier birth experience for both mother and newborn, you can use the power of the mind by repeating positive birth affirmations to help you get through the pain of labor, and make this naturally beautiful moment in your life more relaxing.
Birth Affirmations and The Power Of The Mind
If you’re expecting the arrival of a bundle of joy, you may be feeling nervous, anxious or scared about labor. This is completely natural, but there are ways to use the power of the mind to manifest a positive and calm birth experience. Birth affirmations are empowering and uplifting mantras that you can use to help focus your mind before, during and after labor. Use birth affirmations through the final stages of pregnancy, and enjoy the benefits of meditation and self-hypnosis.
As you probably already know, when a mother is stressed, her child will also feel this negative energy and this can cause a difficult and uncomfortable birth. To promote a happier birth experience for both mother and newborn, you can use the power of the mind by repeating positive birth affirmations to help you get through the pain of labor, and make this naturally beautiful moment in your life more relaxing.
How To Manifest A Positive Birth
Everything in the universe is made of energy, and we all have the power to manifest positive or negative energy. The law of attraction is backed by scientific research. If you feel anxious and stressed, this can cause your body’s sympathetic nervous system to suddenly releases hormones. Catecholamines which include adrenaline and noradrenaline can trigger a chain reaction in your body and cause your heart rate to increase, your blood pressure to rise and your breathing to become erratic. You will feel tense and you may even experience chest pain or breathlessness. If this happens during labor, due to stress and anxiety, this can have a negative impact on both baby and mom, but you have the power to manifest positive energy to prevent this from happening. Experiencing stress during the final stages of pregnancy can also cause premature labor, fetal distress and increased pain, so it’s important to be as relaxed and positive as you can, as you approach your due date.
There are also many studies that promote the effect of hypnosis and birth affirmations. The Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at the Institute of Neurology in London discovered that people who visualize a better future are more likely to be able to bring that future into existence. Vivid mental images of a positive labor experience will help manifest these thoughts and make them your reality. Women who practice labor affirmations before and during birth often experience less pain, fewer complications and don’t usually need medical intervention. Babies born when mothers are calm and relaxed often sleep better and experience less trauma.
Labor affirmations can help you to think positively and stop your mind from conjuring up your worst fears. You should practice labor affirmations on a regular basis to enjoy the true benefits of the power of the mind and a calm and happy birth.
Powerful Labor Affirmations
If you’re hoping for a holistic birth, without the need for pain relief or medical intervention, here are some powerful labor affirmations that you can practice to help strengthen the mind.
