Creative Healing Course Syllabus

Self-hypnosis and Visualisation is the basis of the Mental Preparation part of 'The Jeyarani Way' Gentle Birth Method. If you would like to understand the philosophy and reasoning behind the classes and tapes please click here»

What is Self-hypnosis and Visualisation?

Self-hypnosis teaches you to mentally switch off from your immediate surroundings and enter a dream world that is safe and calm.  You are awake, but not really aware of what is happening around you – it feels like day-dreaming.  While you are relaxed, suggestions are given to your mind, to subconsciously prepare you for a confident birth.

Visualisation will teach you to mentally “see” and affect structures within your body e.g. your muscles, your cervix, your hormones.  You will also be taught how to communicate with your baby with your womb.

The aim of 'The Jeyarani Way' Gentle Birth Method Self-hypnosis and Visualisation programme is to increase confidence, deepen bonding between mother, father and baby, and remove fear of the birth process.

When should I start?

As early as possible in your pregnancy.

How can I learn it?

There are two ways to learn Self-hypnosis and Visualisation 'The Jeyarani Way':

• Classes

We run a course of four classes, once a week. Top-up classes can then be attended as needed. Both partners are encouraged to attend the classes. Classes are held in St. Johns Wood, London at 5.00 p.m. All classes have limited numbers and are booked in advance. The cost is £240. Current dates in 2008: 16 June and 14 July. Future dates to be confirmed.

• Audio-tape or CD

Especially good for those mothers who are unable to attend classes.  However, Gowri recommends that ALL mothers listen to this tape everyday to prepare them fully for birth – it also means that the mother is forced to RELAX during the day! 

For more information on the audio-tape/cd and self-hypnosis please click on the tapes title in the product list. Products »

What will I learn?

The four week course includes the following points and more:

• You will learn self-hypnosis
• How to access instant deep muscle relaxation throughout pregnancy and labour.
• Special visualisation exercises to connect with your body and baby.
• Increase confidence by learning to manage contractions.
• Learn how to induce varying degrees of anaesthesia within your body.
• Feel emotionally and physically in control during the whole birth process.
• How to maintain self-hypnosis in various positions i.e. kneeling, sitting, standing or walking about.
• Partners are taught hypnotic birth techniques, creative healing massage and reflexology to help the mother during pregnancy and birth.
• Each class includes a hypnotic birth rehearsal.  So by the time it comes to the actual birth of your baby, your mind will have already visualised going through the whole birth process smoothly a number of times.

 The speed and emphasis of the class will be determined by the needs of the participants.                      mind preparation »
