I am loving all this hypnosis! I can hardly wait for my next practice sessions, it’s so much fun. After years of meditation and putting myself into a relaxed trance state, I’m really enjoying leading my practice clients through the scripts and into hypnosis. Even my most stressed out family members tell me they feel good upon awakening. I’m realizing more and more just how much I am going to enjoy being a Hypnobabies childbirth instructor. I’m already a hypno-doula, qualified to support any mothers using hypnosis during childbirth. I can’t wait to add these childbirth classes to my list of services, and to help moms and families enjoy greater relaxation at their births using hypnosis.

Hypnosis for Childbirth: my journey continues
I’m continuing to work on my hypnosis class on my way to becoming a Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis Instructor.
My latest assignment was to try out some suggestibility tests – on myself first. It was a simple assignment and I did it easily in just a few minutes. But this simple task led to some complex thoughts. Taking the time to sit quietly, by myself, forgetting everything around me, reminded me of the years that I spent meditating. Every morning I spent 45 minutes in what was basically a hypnotic state. Because I did this faithfully every morning, it became second nature for me to enter that meditative state. All I had to do was sit down and I’d be there, feeling the energy running up my spine and letting my stress and worries take a break of their own for awhile. The most remarkable things happened in my life during those years that I was meditating, and I fully believe there is a connection. How did I let myself move away from this practice? It’s time to make time for this again. I know I will better be able to help my future Hypnobabies clients when I’ve been faithfully practicing my own self – hypnosis. Ooohhhhmmmmm!
