This is your opportunity to prepare over the next few days or even the next few minutes for your cesarean,
Knowing that your baby will be in your arms very,
Very soon.
And as soon as this procedure is over,
You'll hold your baby in your arms.
As you listen to this audio,
You'll be preparing mind,
Body and soul to give birth in the most positive way.
So just for this moment,
Take some slow,
Deep breaths,
Closing your eyes as you begin the process of allowing your body to relax.
So concentrate on your breathing just for a moment,
Noticing how it feels to draw that air deep into your lungs now.
Noticing the feeling of exhalation.
And this is what you're going to do as you birth your child,
Allowing yourself to become completely and totally relaxed.
And it will be easy to cooperate with the team around you so that baby will be born healthy and well.
So relaxing now and counting to six as you breathe in and exhaling deeply and slowly.
And again,
Counting to six as you breathe in and exhaling slowly and deeply,
Sighing it out,
Breathing right down as you relax.
And noticing that you can go into a comfortable rhythm of breathing now,
Where the out-breath is just a little longer than the in-breath,
Allowing you to drop down ten times deeper.
And each time you do this,
You might find that your mind starts to wander.
And that's perfectly fine.
There's no special way to do this.
It's just about tuning into comfort.
And any sounds that you hear around you or outside just allow you to go inwards.
They won't distract you at all.
You'll be focused on your breath and how exciting it's going to feel to hold your baby in your arms.
And I wonder if it's possible now to imagine breathing in a beautiful,
Calming color.
One that will allow you to feel even more comfortable.
You might sense that you're breathing in a beautiful mist,
Noticing how that color feels as you breathe it deep into your lungs.
And with each slow in-breath,
That color flows to every part of you,
Filling your chest and your heart as you connect to your baby now.
And imagining that beautiful healing color as you even deeper,
As flowing to your baby as well.
And as you tune into your baby,
Sending them love and a feeling of safety.
And that beautiful color that you're breathing in,
I wonder if you could imagine it flowing out through the pores of your skin,
Creating a bubble of light and protection all around you.
It might be fun to imagine that bubble of light and protection is with you.
When you're going through the procedure,
That bubble of light is completely encircling you,
And your mind and body and soul are able to work and as you see yourself in hospital,
So that when you receive the anesthetic,
You'll automatically feel so relaxed and safe.
You'll automatically feel so comfortable as you allow the anesthetic to wash over you.
And to be as effective and efficient as it needs to be.
And you'll need very little anesthetic.
Your body will just take up the tiny bit it needs to completely surrender to this process.
Your baby's birthday.
You trust this process completely.
And your body is already getting ready to repair itself.
Your body is already preparing to heal itself effectively.
From the moment the procedure starts,
You'll start your healing process.
You may feel movement on the table.
It will just be the doctors preparing mind,
Body and soul for your baby to come out into the world.
You'll surrender and trust your team.
And your body knows it will heal perfectly and easily.
And I wonder if it's possible to imagine in the theatre,
As you feel safe and comfortable,
You can surrender now and go in deeper.
You are a mother who's preparing for her baby's birthday.
Feeling as you breathe in that healing light.
Knowing that you are protected and safe.
And your body knows how to do this.
Once you see or feel your baby being born,
Feel that love flowing into your heart.
You know that you will fall in love instantly.
The moment you see,
Feel,
Hear or sense that your baby is being born.
To love,
Nurture and breastfeed your baby,
If that is what you want to do.
Your body knows how to do this.
And we're setting the intention for it to work to perfection.
The team around you will support you through this journey of becoming a mother.
And when your baby has been born,
You'll lie there and allow the team to continue the process of preparing your body to leave the operating theatre.
The anaesthetic will work so effectively.
You'll be able to relax and feel safe and comfortable.
And you'll imagine your beautiful baby going to be with your partner or your chosen person.
Your support person.
And you'll lie there visualising your baby being alive in the world,
Resting and waiting to meet you.
You'll feel happy,
Safe and totally relaxed.
As your hormones work now preparing your breasts for breastfeeding and motherhood.
Your uterus is working to perfection.
Your placenta separates simply and easily.
And your body is healing already.
As you prepare to hold your baby.
You'll lie patiently in recovery.
And when it's time to leave recovery,
That first glimpse will allow you to fall completely in love.
Your journey into motherhood will be relaxing and blissful.
And when your baby is hungry,
You'll offer your breast and your colostrum will flow so easily and effortlessly.
It will feel so comforting as you hold your baby and allow it to attach easily as you breastfeed your child.
You're setting the intention to be a patient,
Loving mother.
It will be fun to notice how comfortable you can feel after the birth.
How quickly your body repairs,
Your energy levels return.
And how easy you can feed your baby.
You'll be able to move around your room,
Noticing how happy and connected you feel.
Your recovery will be rapid and you'll be up and about enjoying being a mother.
And when it's time to go home,
Feeling confident,
Excited.
You'll have learned all the things that you need to know in those first few hours and days as you connect and enjoy your child.
And you'll love this child unconditionally as you open your heart to its special personality.
You have all the tools you need to connect and be a competent,
Compassionate and loving mother.
And it will be fun over the next few days and weeks as you connect to your child and allow your intuition to flow.
Your patience will astonish you.
It will be vast.
And you'll feel refreshed even after a very short sleep.
You're going to feel so refreshed and so comfortable and so ready to be with your child.
So just relax now.
Deepen into the music and that music will be ready for you when you're ready to birth your child.
As soon as you hear the music,
You'll surrender,
Relax deeper and feel safe and comfortable.
And when your subconscious mind hears the music,
It will remember all these words,
All the words you've heard that are suitable for you.
From the moment you arrive in theatre,
You'll relax deeply,
Feeling safe and comfortable and prepared for birth.
You'll relax so that the procedure is comfortable and easy.
Your baby will come out into the world so easily.
Its little body will slide out and your baby will be born.
Deep inside you know you can relax and allow and trust that this procedure will be simple and easy.
By setting the intention now that your immune system will be boosted and will automatically work efficiently and effectively,
You will remain incredibly healthy and strong.
You'll recover so quickly from your caesarean.
You'll be relieved and delighted.
You'll know the correct questions to ask and ask for help when you need it.
You'll feel comfortable and safe saying no when you don't want to be comfortable during the birth of your child.
And it's safe to breathe in that healing colour of protection and relaxation whenever you need it.
And from the moment you go into hospital,
You'll be completely relaxed,
Focused and ready to be a mother.
Your subconscious mind will care for you and your conscious mind will just surrender and relax so that you can have a beautiful and blissful birth.
So drifting and dreaming,
Imagining what baby will feel like in your arms as you hold your baby for the first time,
Relaxing and drifting and enjoying this process of total trust.
Your body is incredible.
It knows exactly what to do.
And all parts of your body are working in harmony and unison.
You can come back to the present if you choose to or simply rest and deepen down into sleep.
Whatever is perfect for you.
