Yoga And Pregnancy

Guided imagery

The expectant mother should always think positive thoughts. Positive imagery and visualization is needed. Women need to have positive images of childbirth to facilitate natural delivery. The positive images relax the mind and the muscles of the body. The baby is delivered in the natural way. Autosuggestions like, "I am going to experience something new and wonderful. I will be filled with joy," will help the mother to do away with negative thinking. The mother should imagine her child as healthy, happy and good in character.
Since energy follows thought, through visualization, this is made effective and real. Positive affirmations help in the formation of good character in the child and help the mother to experience natural childbirth

Listening to soothing music during pregnancy helps transform the atmosphere into one filled with relaxation and peace.
