Hypnosis for Childbirth?
 Hypnosis is used in medical and dental hypnosis with great success by patients who have life-threatening allergies to anesthetics, allowing them to undergo surgeries with no drugs and no pain. We know therefore that the mind can be trained to experience discomfort as only pressure, and that is what is achieved in childbirth hypnosis as well. In addition, with labor, the more relaxation the mother experiences, the more comfort she will have, and the depth of relaxation necessary can easily be achieved with hypnosis, as physical relaxation is learned and practiced daily in preparation for birth using guided visualizations followed by positive hypnotic suggestions. When the critical conscious mind is by- passed with hypnosis, the inner mind can literally be reprogrammed to believe that birth will be comfortable, easy and joyous. Software for your mind!
Fear and Expectation
In other cultures, childbirth is regarded as a natural, normal event in a woman's life. The birthing women are given support from other women, and children are often present to witness the event. In this way, birth is celebrated and honored. Young girls then grow up with the belief system that birth is a positive event and their expectations of childbirth reflect this attitude. As a result, their births are similar to their predecessors; without pain and fear. They have a positive expectation of childbirth. In our culture, it is very much the opposite. For many generations we have been told that delivering a baby is many hours of painfully agonizing work, to be faced with fear and trepidation. We have heard stories from well-meaning friends and family that send shivers up our spines, and so the legacy continues. We experience pain in childbirth, in part because we very much expect to!
When learning about how the mind controls the body, the expectant couple is taught to surround themselves with only positive people and messages, to create a positive view of childbirth and the expectation that their birthing with be the beautiful, peaceful experience that they want. Fear Clearing Sessions are integral to this process, as they allow each person to address fears they have, work through possible solutions and then release them. Fear in labor can create tension, which creates pain, then more fear, and the cycle continues. Fear and anxiety can also create adrenaline production in the body, causing the labor to become dysfunctional, a common reason for Cesarean Section surgery. Freedom from fear can make a huge difference in the birthing experience.
Hypnosis for childbirth teaches a woman how to enter into self-hypnosis instantly, and create her own natural anesthesia whenever and wherever she needs it. This is important as any drugs taken by a laboring woman can be dangerous for her, and especially her baby. She has total control over her body, and is an active participant in her birth process. As labor progresses, she relaxes even more, goes deeper inside herself, trusting in her body's natural ability to give birth with ease and comfort. Her mind is programmed to give her exactly what she needs.
Too good to be true?
Can women give birth without experiencing pain? They can, but there are many variables in labor and birth that can affect the outcome, and couples need to have a positive but realistic view of hypnosis for childbirth. Each pregnant woman and her partner must take responsibility for the choices they make while in labor and how they can affect the dynamics and outcome. Many a wonderful birth has been thwarted by not realizing how to make positive, informed choices, and yet these issues are easily addressed and learned in a good consumer oriented childbirth class, or by doing research.
Without a doubt, women using hypnosis are much calmer and more relaxed during labor, which automatically creates more comfort, as well as having *powerful* post-hypnotic suggestions to actually eliminate pain and fear.
How effective is this?
Statistics will vary by the program and method chosen, depending on the length and number of hypnosis sessions, the materials used in each, and the skill of the hypnotherapist or teacher, as well as the dedication and compliance to the program of each birthing couple. Ideally, hypnosis for childbirth instructors will have backgrounds in both hypnotherapy and childbirth education, and be able to address each woman's personal needs. With adequate preparation and trust in the natural process of birth, most women can have much more relaxed and comfortable births, with many actually free of pain.
Benefits of using hypnosis for childbirth:
- Fewer drugs or no drugs at all means less risk of side effects on mother and baby.
- Shorter labors - resistance of the birthing muscles as a response to pain is minimized or eliminated.
- An awake, energized mother, due to total relaxation throughout the birthing process.
- A calm, peaceful birthing environment.
- Breech and posterior babies can be turned using hypnosis.
- Fewer interventions and complications during labor.
- Babies who are better sleepers and nursers due to fewer drugs in their systems.
Is it Time?
* Is your heart saying it's time to meet your own needs for a change?
* Do you want something so badly you can taste it?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions, it is time to create a change. Right now, you're in the change activation stage, where the desire meets momentum. If you have the desire, your work with Robin will help you supply the momentum.

Robin believes that the only reason we don't fully live the life of our dreams is because we don't really believe it is possible to do so. And, deep down, we don't believe we truly deserve it. Ring true? She also believes the main reason we don't get what we want in life is because we spend time thinking about what we don't want.

Quit Smoking NOW!!
The Benefits of Quitting
 It's no secret that tobacco use is bad for your health — even low-tar and low-nicotine cigarettes. In fact, smoking harms nearly every organ of your body and causes a long list of diseases including cancer, heart disease and lung disease. It even harms the health of unborn babies. Let's think about what you'll get when you quit;
- 11 minutes back for every cigarette you don't smoke
- 4 hours back for every pack you don't smoke
- 2 days back for every carton you don't smoke
Quitting rapidly lowers your risk for many health problems, including:
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Chronic Bronchitis
- Emphysema
- Many kinds of cancer (including lung, pancreas, throat, mouth, & cervical)
Some people feel they have smoked too long to benefit from quitting. Others feel they haven't smoked enough to be at risk.
No matter how long you have smoked, you will be healthier when you quit.
- Within 12 hours, your pulse, blood pressure and carbon monoxide levels return to normal.
- Within 48 to 72 hours, the nicotine is gone from your body.
- Within a few weeks, your blood circulation begins to improve and breathing becomes easier.
- Within a year, your risk of coronary heart disease is cut in half.
- Within 10 years your lung cancer death rate is cut in half.
- Within 15 years your risk of coronary heart disease is back to that of a nonsmoker's.
Besides reducing your risk factors for these diseases, quitting tobacco will help you enjoy improved circulation, have fewer breathing problems, and feel less winded when climbing stairs. You'll have more energy, fresher breath, and a better sense of smell and taste.
When you quit, not only will you be a great role model, your actions will benefit the health of your family and friends. If that isn't enough, your budget will benefit too. Think of all the money you'll save by not buying cigarettes, if you smoke one pack a day, you can save well over $1,700 a year.
STOP SMOKING
Have the courage to break old patterns and habits.
This unique session builds your ego and enhances your spirit. You will reach success by reprogramming your mind to think of yourself as a nonsmoker. Stop smoking without gaining weight through engaging the part of your subconscious mind that controls your habits, by giving it direct suggestions. Eliminate any inner conflict that you may experience when you stop smoking.

Stop Smoking and Deduct the Costs
Those of you who have finally decided to take care of yourself and get healthy, the Internal Revenue Service offers a little incentive. Any stop smoking program or prescription drug that you use to treat nicotine withdrawal can now be included as a medical expense on your income taxes.
So, not only do you recoup your good health and vitality, not to mention all the money you used to spend buying tobacco, you get a bonus back from the IRS as well.
Hypnotherapy is one of the most successful stop smoking programs, used alone or in combination with other modalities like acupuncture, herbs, etc. Call me for more information or to set up an appointment to get your government perk on this years taxes.

A Cup of Tea
A Japanese master received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. The master served tea. He poured the professor's cup full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he could no longer restrain himself. "It's over-full! No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," said the master, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"
This tale illustrates to me the importance of never thinking you know it all. Sometimes, we have to take the back seat and let somebody instruct us. Sometimes, we have to stop comparing everything with what we KNOW and look at things anew--with a fresh and clean palate. How else can we grow?
Clear your mind and look at the things around you. Take nothing for granted. Empty your cup!
