Description:
Rhythm of Birth presents their "Birthing in Awareness" and Pain Coping Workshop on Saturday, May 2nd at the Pioneer Birth and Family Care Center in Max Meadows, VA.

This workshop is perfect as a refresher course or to compliment a child birth preparation course for first time parents preparing for the birth of their baby.

Your mind and body are intimately connected. During the labor process, what is happening in your mind can directly effect what is happening in your body. Developing a pain coping mindset takes practice and courage to retrain your mind to change your "normal" or default responses as you encounter pain, whether it be labor pain, mental pain, or other physical pain in your life. Partners are encouraged to learn and practice these techniques as they will be experiencing a form of mental pain as they observe you experiencing the intensity of labor. They may feel the urge to rescue or help in times when that may not be helpful to you as the laboring mother. Also, it is important for partners to get a taste of the mental determination you practice and need to cope with the intensity of labor.

In this workshop, you will learn some practices and ways of coping with the intensity of the birth experience. The foundation of the practices you will learn is "Breath Awareness," which is a mindfulness practice to deepen focus and enhance endurance. As you both learn and practice, your confidence and determination increases.

You will learn several mindfulness pain coping practices and experience "image making" processes, so you finish the workshop not with "tools," but rather with a mindset of resilience, determination, and focus, in order to cope with the intensity of the birth experience.
