Physical
preparation is merely the visible way of getting ready for
the pre-natal period. But there is another intimate and
hidden process that must be taken into account.
Mothers
know how to get in touch deeply with the baby they carry
inside provided they have the favourable chance. Thus, to
improve breathing, to widen circulation, to float and to
feel immersed allow the expecting mom to flow and share
intimately body, psyche and spirit with the baby being carried.
The
expecting mother closes her eyes to the external world in
order to look at her inside world. Besides, by learning
to exercise and control strength she will learn to control
anxiety and to keep her reserves for the key moment of delivery.
When
she is immersed in her internal world, she can fancy the
baby and feel like it who is immersed inside the intra-uterine
pool. If it is sweet to imagine, it will be sweeter to deliver
the child who has been so long awaited for.
Breathing
control always means emotion control, especially for the
conscious mother who nourishes, breathes and rests by two
(or more?). Being able to fancy, fantasize and feel as if
in the inside, like the baby still joined by the umbilical
chord, imagining also a delivery without anguish will contribute
to a smooth and sweet future reality when she will feel
the attachment through hugging and suckling the newly born
baby.
