This is it my lovelies - the last episode of the podcast series on Hypnobirthing!

In this episode, we're exploring the conscious and unconscious mind – two aspects of our thinking that can have a significant impact on our childbirth experience.

The conscious mind is the part of our thinking that is aware of our surroundings and makes rational decisions based on our current circumstances. The unconscious mind, on the other hand, operates beneath the surface of our awareness and can influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in profound ways. By understanding how these two aspects of our thinking work together, we can use Hypnobirthing techniques to tap into our body's natural birthing instincts and achieve a positive and comfortable birth experience.

In this episode, we'll cover:

What the conscious and unconscious mind are and how they work together

The impact of negative beliefs and emotions on our unconscious mind during childbirth

How Hypnobirthing techniques like relaxation, visualization, and positive affirmations can influence our unconscious mind and create a positive birthing experience

Techniques for releasing negative emotions and beliefs that may be affecting your unconscious mind during childbirth

Remember, by understanding the conscious and unconscious mind and using Hypnobirthing techniques to influence these aspects of our thinking, we can achieve a deep state of relaxation and tap into our body's natural birthing instincts.
