Inner Work
Did you know that 95% of your reality remains hidden from view?
Said another way, only 5% of our experience is under conscious control.
The majority of our experience is governed by a subconscious script (under the level of conscious thought).
inner work is the path to outward transformation
What HypnoBirthing is truly about is about accessing those subconscious scripts, programs and fears about birth that are blocking you from achieving what you truly want.
A gentle, peaceful and more comfortable birth IS possible and there are two main steps to getting there.
step 1 - get clear on what you want.
Our conscious mind - that 5% of our reality - is our creative mind. This is what powers our thoughts, generates our ideas, allows us to analyze and dream up new possibilities. But it’s a small part of the equation. Because we can’t just ‘will’ something into creation. We have to work at changing the underlying script first.
The language of the conscious mind is words. Your positive birth story starts here.
step 2: get under the hood.
While knowing what you want first is a crucial first step, we have to go deeper to look at that 95%, because that is what influences action. Most of what influences our automatic and involuntary bodily systems involved in birthing happens under the hood. Being able to access that playbook and clear out what is getting in the way of what we want is truly where the magic happens.
The language of the subconscious is images & metaphors - that’s how we tap in. This is where the vision boards and affirmations play a key role. But it’s far more than wishful thinking. When you come from a place of wanting, often it’s masking a fear of not having…So, instead, you have to ‘be’ the reality you want to invite in.
You want a stress-free birth? You have to practice BEING in a stress-free state.
It sounds pretty simplistic when you break it down like this.
But is it easy?
Well, it depends on how you relate to inner work.
Inner work is what has the power to transform the outer experience
In my experience, no process of inner work is ever effortless and easy because we all have resistance. And that resistance is often experienced or manifested as fear, judgement, or limiting thoughts that hold us back from getting what we want. It’s what is under the hood, my Dears. But you totally CAN clear up that muck and start to SEE yourself differently. And when you can SEE yourself differently, you can start to ACT differently and EXPERIENCE life differently and in a positive way.
How I can help
My process as a HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator is to help you go into the places in your mind where you can build up more of the positive thoughts and knowledge and shed the negative influences blocking your path. The magic sauce of how to do that is relaxation. Relaxation is what facilitates the deepening of the inner focused work and what helps us solidify new patterns and outward expressions. It’s safe, it’s gentle and it’s worth it.
My promise to you is that I will show up from a place of believing in your strength and your capacity and I will hold space for you to transform at your own pace.
Once we are clear on the path, we can see the resistance that is blocking the way and we can have the courage to take our first step. It only gets easier from there.
I’d love to meet you.
