Pregnancy -
Relaxation
Relaxation:
Hope you would have read in other sections about stress. Emotional and
physical stress triggers a cascade of steroidal hormones that damages our
body. Understand that this holds good for the pregnant mother who not only
damages her own body but also the kid's body. This is why ancient doctors
advice pregnant mothers should be in a relaxed environment. If the
pregnant mother is stressed the kid that is born will have the
same temperament. Every emotional surge the mother gets, she is exposing her
kid to steroidal hormones.
It is good for the mother to be relaxed and at least
before going to bed, should massage the stomach gently and express her
love for the baby. While relaxing, she should feel that the child is
healthy. Listening to good music and reading good books and spiritual books
are good for the baby. The mother can give self relaxing suggestions to the
baby or use guided relaxation methods. Priya while pregnant used to listen
every night the relaxation tapes to help herself and the kid to relax. We
now see the results in our son who reflects it.
Relaxation would also help the mother to have normal blood pressure, less
birth complications, avoid premie babies and easy labor. It is a well known
fact that during
labor the more the mother is relaxed better the contractions and
less the labor pain. A mother cannot relax all of a sudden
in the labor room. The best way is that she has to train herself well in
advance to be in a
relaxed pace not only during pregnancy but in fact even before that.
After the eighth month of pregnancy, the mother should give suggestions to
the child, asking the child to help in normal delivery. This may sound crazy
but when you try it, you will be surprised with the practical results. In
our experience this auto suggestions during pregnancy and during labor has
helped immensely many mothers.
Keeping the body and mind healthy, a mother should enjoy her
pregnancy so that the child when born, will have a positive outlook in life.
Ancient
approach
Though we give
information from ancient Indian practices, this holds good for any person
from any cultural background. Ancient people were really smart in incorporating
these valuable facts through rituals. Many people dislike rituals because
they do not understand the deep significance of it. In pregnancy care,
ancient Indian rituals were observed for the good health of the mother and
the child. It is a sad fact that over generations, mere performance of rituals
ignoring the deeper significance, has lead to insignificant
results. We will help you to discover how fabulous these rituals are to
lead a life devoid of suffering.
Whatever we
write will benefit anyone irrespective of their cultural or national
background. You can incorporate these facts into your own tradition and reap
the benefits.
