Hypnobirthing, unit 3

My favorite Hypnobirthing session may be unit 3. In this unit we do a lot of deepenings. It’s like this session takes it up another level. The scripts are longer, there are more visualisations, more time to practice to go in and out of a deeply relaxed state.

The crowning rose is used as a visualisation for birth. Some choose to put this up in their birthing room.

We also speak about the how the body and the baby together get ready for birth. Medical induction and natural ways to start labour, or at least try. We talk about birth preferences, something that you know I am very passionate about since I have an e-book completely dedicated to this.

We watch two birth videos, as usual. I love hearing what the people in the group notice in the videos, it really varies from group to group. Something that one group can thing is not positive another group sees as very positive. It has been interesting to observe this over time.

This session ends with my favorite Hypnobithing script, Fear Release. I love this script because it has prep work that focuses on fears and worries connected to pregnancy and birth, and then the script focuses on realesing these worries. It ends with a part of reclaiming the power one has given away to others. This is powerful for me. And every time I read it I think to myself that I am reclaiming my own power as well. I end the session with not speaking after the Fear Release script. It leaves a powerful energy in the room and I hope the group carries this energy with them out into their life as they leave the space.
