Rhythmic risings – Throughout the writings on and in your classes, you have heard about “contractions.” Because of the negative connotations associated with this word, it may be helpful to think of these movements of the uterus as “rhythmic risings.” Your uterus is working to birth a baby, and you can call this work a rush or a rising or a rhythmic rising. Hypnobirthing and other Leclaire mindfulness techniques alter the way the brain perceives and interprets the intensity of the contractions, or rhythmic risings of the uterus, and activates the body’s own comfort mechanism. If you say the words very slowly, the sound of the words themselves can help to synchronize your mind with the work of your uterus. Saying the words “I’m having a rhythmic rising” can even make you smile or laugh. This creates a completely different atmosphere around your birth.
Are there other words used during your fertility, pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum that create either comfort or fear for you?
