ABOUT CALM BIRTH

The Calm Birth method is a set of three respected practices from meditation science. The practices work together to offer a new vision of a pregnant woman's body and potential.The Calm Birth method:

*Helps heal the nervous systems of mother and womb child in preparation for birth
*Builds women's ability to manage anxiety, fear, and pain during pregnancy and labor
*Strengthens the immune system of the mother and child
*Helps women discover their inherent healing nature
*Raises the quality of the childbirth experience.

The 'Calm' in Calm Birth does not mean silent of inexpressive; many Calm Birth's involve moving, sounding, and trusting what emerges from within. Calm Birth does mean labor characterized by inner strength, deep presence, and connection with our sacred nature of being.

The Calm Birth prenatal classes are focused primarily on the three practices: The Practice of Opening, Womb Breathing, and Giving and Receiving, centuries-old wisdom merged with current understandings of healing, the energy body, and quantum physics, and how they help women use innate ability that is most often not being used. It is integral and complementary medicine. Women are instructed in the methods to encourage natural childbirth as a primary option, but if medical interventions are used, the methods work with current childbirth medicine to raise the quality of the birth and heal the side effects of the medicine. The classes teach expanded childbirth anatomy, the inseparable energy body and physical body. Women learn to breathe with both bodies, all the way through labor and delivery. They learn healing and greater function in giving birth.

How the Brain Develops from Conception to Birth

An interesting article on the Embryological Development of the Brain by Dr. Arnold B. Scheibel found on the New Horizons website.

'In the following article, Dr. Scheibel tells the fascinating story of how the brain develops in human beings from conception to birth. He makes clear that this complex, rapidly developing process is affected continually by the environment in which it is taking place. What mothers eat, drink, and feel-- the environments which they themselves experience-- affect daily the neural development of their unborn child.'
