Cultivating Mindfulness Techniques
for Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting
Mindfulness is about being fully awake, in the
present moment. When we practice mindfulness we can become more focused,
relaxed and calm. Life slows down and we begin to experience the vividness of
each moment. Learn and cultivate the Mindfulness Techniques as developed by Jon
Kabat Zinn at the Center for Mindfulness, University of Mass. Not only will
these techniques assist you in pregnancy and birth but will offer you a set of
skills to use as a parent and throughout all areas of your life. This
introductory workshop will include techniques for taming the stress response,
mindful breathing, body scan (mind/body connection), and introduction to seated
meditation. All of which will be useful tools for the labor process.
A
short mindful movement (yoga) session
will also be incorporated into this time. You will learn simple yoga postures
that will help ease pregnancy and be useful as labor positions.
