Hormones are mentioned in quite a flippant way. They are not regarded as having any power. Hormones however, have a great affect on the physical and mental realm of the female. Seeing the hormones as instruments in an orchestra, do they have a 'tone'?  

We are 'a feeling soul'. We function on feelings. To many it is seen as 'hocus pocus'. There are 10 hormonal phases to the female. We affect our environment in the way we feel.  Let's look into this further. This is a time of self discovery. 

In this episode we focus on the untapped inner power and strength of the female, not so much her physical strength, but her unique mental strength. There is a power within the female that has to be harnessed in such a way that you understand how you function. Knowing how you function you slowly get to know yourself. And by knowing yourself, once conception is a reality you know how to shape the being in your womb.

In this episode we chat with Tracy Awere, an experienced hypnobirthing teacher and founder of Sankofa Hynobirthing. Tracy discusses hypnobirthing and how it serves as a complete birth preparation programme for pregnant women and their birth partners; how she used her own pregnancy over 10 years ago as the catalyst toward developing her own hypnobirthing philosophy and the inspiration for her work today and how she has found great success in her holistic mind, body, and soul approach while using evidence-based self-hypnosis and deep relaxation techniques in helping expectant parents to release anxieties and relax in any situation.

Continuing on from Mindfulness in Pregnancy (part 1).  You will now be going to the core of you. 

Did you know:

- that your thoughts and feelings can have an affect on the development of your baby and be the foundation to your baby's development?

- that you can be aware of how you think and feel and get to the root of it?

- that You are the Environment of your baby? You can be negative or positive, it is your choice.

It's time to think about how you are when pregnant. And how to connect to give baby the best of you. Realising that once you know you have conceived, you start creating a relationship with your baby. We don't have to wait until the first scan or that first flutter. 

In this episode I will be sharing how Mindfulness plays an important role in pregnancy and the benefits of it to mums-to-be, knowing how to recognize negative and positive environments and how to be and create your perfect environment for your pregnancy.  

This episode continues the journey of being First Time Parents. Helping you to understand the heaviness of your thoughts, and how they can be lightened. How to see through those months by empowering you to accept the different stages of growth. Accepting the physical and psychological development at each stage in a balanced way.  That the outside elements, such as work, hospital appointments and getting a bigger place, are inevitable and should not be overwhelming, as they are part of the change.  

Becoming first-time parents causes lots of mixed feelings. In this episode, the first in my series on Relationships, I will be exploring the natural fears and anxieties that first-time parents experience and why it's important to find the right balance early on.
