Mysty's Experience

Mysty and John were young honey farmers. It was Mysty’s first pregnancy. They wanted a natural childbirth and connected with an OB doctor who was very supportive of the Calm Birth program. In preparing for the birth with the Calm Birth method, Mysty and John had meditation experiences that were fulfilling. They worked together closely as a birth team, using the Calm Birth practices throughout labor and delivery. The outcome was a calm boy, lively and alert.

EXCERPTS FROM POSTNATAL INTERVIEW WITH MYSTY AND JOHN

Mysty: We took the class and we learned a lot. I started using the cd, especially in the evening before I went to bed. And I actually had some really great meditation experiences, and that was really cool.

Mysty: I was meditating and I just felt real peaceful and kind of light, like luminous.

John: What I liked the most about the Calm Birth program is that before the baby is born you can communicate, bless and give it energy.

Mysty: I didn’t have to try to remember the Womb Breathing method. I just did it automatically. It’s like I knew to do it. I’d catch myself doing the breathing already. And John was doing it with me as I did the breathing.
