Recently featured on our newsletter for the Mama Health section, “Journeying through Pregnancy and Birth” is a powerful, gentle, and beautifully prepared birth & pregnancy CD that will help you relax deeply and create space for a sacred and peaceful pregnancy and birth.
Jennifer Houston has been a midwife for over twenty years, and is a mother and grandmother. She’s a certified Hypnotherapist and an experienced Neuro-Linguistic Programmer. She is aware of the interaction between body and mind, and the power of language. The desire to support natural birth and her witnessing to thousands of births, inspired her to create this new CD that we recently added to our collection of must-haves for pregnancy and birth.
“I want to undo negative cultural messages, help women reconceptualize their experience, gain strength, wisdom and peace of mind.”
Relaxation Advice from Jenna (some excerpts & messages from the CD)
1) You are your best caretaker. One of the greatest gifts pregnancy can offer is connecting and nurturing yourself through relaxation.
2) Lie down or sit in any way that is best for your body to relax.
3) Focus on your breath. Place a hand below your ribcage and notice your belly rising and falling. Watch your breath deepen with each inhalation and exhalation. Exhale tension and all unnecessary things, letting go of anything you don’t need. Inhale oxygen, relaxation, everything you need.
4) Scan your body. Start from your face and head and work all the way down through all the parts of your body, releasing tension.
5) Connect with Mother Earth. The way your body and your baby is created is exactly like how Earth is made. Trust in the natural process.
6) Connect with your baby alive and moving within you. Feel your baby feeling you – your beating heart, your breath, your love and care. Imagine what it must feel like to be carried in the safe and cradling womb.
7) Connect with your partner if you have one, connect with your female allies and ancestors, visualizing and feeling their presence around you and their connection to you.
8) Reconnect with your body and your presence in the room by noticing your body touching your bed or couch, starting to move slowly.
