Exploring the power of hypnobirthing
“To access a woman’s physiological best during birth, I believe she must get into that “no-thinking zone” governed by the right brain. She must be in the present moment, not reminded of the past or strategising about the future. This is the state where natural endorphins are highest, and can help women to cope with birth pain.” - Dr Amali Lokugamage, The Heart in the Womb
Hypnobirthing is an approach to childbirth that emphasises relaxation, visualisation, and self-hypnosis techniques to promote a positive and calm birthing experience. Developed as a response to the traditional views of childbirth as a painful and stressful event, hypnobirthing aims to empower mothers and pregnant people to reduce anxiety associated with labour.
Central to hypnobirthing is the idea that fear and tension can create physical resistance, leading to increased discomfort during labour. The method encourages expectant women and people to release these fears through deep relaxation, controlled breathing, and mental imagery. Visualisation plays a key role, to envision a smooth and natural birth process.
