Suggestion and Unborn Baby

This interesting article addresses some of the key issues on suggestion and unborn Baby. A careful reading of this material could make a big difference in how you think about this topic.

The information about Suggestion and Unborn Baby presented here will do one of two things: either it will reinforce what you know about suggestion and unborn baby or it will teach you something new. Both are good outcomes.

According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia, suggestion is the name given to the psychological process by which one person may guide the thoughts, feelings or behaviour of another.

The power of suggestion is an amazing tool to help you achieve something that you want. Our subconscious mind is controlled by the power of suggestion. This method is most effective when carried out just before you go to sleep because your conscious mind is then less active.

During my third pregnancy, I was bleeding in the 5th week. While doing the examination, the doctor discovered the shape of the water-bag was irregular and had many angles. In addition, the doctor told me that he had not been able to get the heartbeat of my baby.

I started to be concerned about my medical condition. I calmed myself down and suggested to my third child, "Baby, I need your help. Can you heal yourself? Your water-bag is getting round and smooth. You are strong and healthy. Your heartbeat is normal and strong." I suggested to my baby about 3 times a day which included one just before I went to sleep.

Within one and a half weeks, the shape of the water-bag was getting rounder and smoother. The doctor was able to find the heartbeat of baby in 6.5 weeks. I was simply overjoyed with the progress and expressed my gratitude to my third child.

In addition, I used suggestion to tell my unborn baby about wake up and sleep cycle. I told him daily before I went to bed,"Felix (name of my unborn baby), you shall sleep at 9:00 p.m. and wake up at 7:00a.m. Good night. I love you. Please wake me up with a gentle kick at 7:00 a.m." With practice for a week's time, he could wake me up at 7:00p.m. His sleeping and waking up times synchronize with my sleeping and waking up times. This example shows that unborn baby is responsive to our suggestion.

I found that applying the art of suggestion was helpful and powerful for the healing of my third child. The response from my unborn baby was remarkable.

So now you know a little bit about suggestion and unborn baby. Even if you don't know everything, you've done something worthwhile: you've expanded your knowledge.

Support Children Cope With Pain

Would you like to find out more about support children cope with pain? The information in the article below comes straight from my working experience with children suffering from chronic or life-threatening illnesses. The more information about this topic you know, the more likely you are able to support children cope with pain.

Imagine that we are at the doctor’s clinic. You see a child crying and yelling because of pain inflicted by injection and medical treatment. How do you feel? Are you anxious or worried when you bring your child to see a doctor? It is normal to have this reaction. Since it is painful to see your child suffering in pain, I shall suggest ways to help the children to cope with pain and medical treatment.

Ways to help children

1. Tell them the details of the medical appointment

You can tell the children about the date, time, place and reason for the medical appointment. You can describe the environment and person of a clinic or a hospital. Is there any toy corner, toy house or reading books for the children in the clinic or hospital? Who are the doctor and the nurse? What will they do for your children? Why do you bring your children to see doctor? What will be the treatment of the illness?

For example, the parent tells his son, ”Today, I will bring you to see Dr. Lee at 9:00 a.m. at Clinic H because you have fever. Don’t worry. The doctor and nurse are helpful and they will check your body and give you medicine so you will recover soon.”

2. Role-play at Home

Role-play is a good way of learning for the children to experience a real-life situation. Sometimes, you play the role of a doctor, nurse, and patient at home. Your children will have experience of different roles through acting.

In my experience, children usually like to act as a doctor or a nurse. They will develop a sense of mastery or control over the situation. Through the change of roles, the children will experience different roles and become more familiarised with the physical and social environments of a clinic or a hospital. You can buy a doctor kit in a toyshop to play with your children. A doctor kit includes stethoscope, thermometer, plasters, and blood pressure measuring equipment and so on. The choice of toy is according to the age and preference of the children. The role-playing game is good psychological and mental preparation for your children.

Preparing your children for the medical treatment is very important. Tell them about the medical treatment and the role-playing game at home can prepare them to see a doctor psychologically.

We hope the sections above have contributed to your understanding of support children cope with pain. Share your new understanding about support children cope with pain with others so that more children will be benefited from it.

Three Principles Of Communication With Unborn Baby


You should be able to find several indispensable facts about principles of communication with unborn baby in the following paragraphs. If there's at least one fact you didn't know before, imagine the difference it might make. In my experience, the principles of strong belief, intention and communication help me to communicate with my unborn babies at the earliest moment.

Strong belief

The most important is the strong belief in communication with the unborn baby. When you believe strongly in communication, you will try your best to find ways to reach the unborn baby. However, when you are not certain about your belief, you may miss the opportunity to communicate with the foetus.

I had a strong belief in communication with my unborn baby from the earliest stage as I had practised with my first and second children previously. At six weeks of my third pregnancy, I asked my third child 3 times, “If you are a girl, you can make a movement to tell me.” However, there was no response from him. I asked my third child, “If you are a boy, you make a movement to show your answer.” Surprisingly, I felt him moving three times after I asked him the question. Then, I reassured my baby that I would accept him for whom he was unconditionally. I could feel a sense of relief and somehow I sensed even my baby felt the same way. On the 20th week of my pregnancy, I could not believe it when my doctor confirmed that my third child was a boy. I felt a sense of joy that I had been able to communicate with my third child so much earlier.

Intention

One of the secrets I found which make communication with the unborn possible, is to first have a deep and intense desire and yearning to communicate and bond with your baby during pregnancy.

Prenatal communication needs the intention of the mother to want to communicate with her unborn baby. I had a strong need and yearning to communicate with my third child. I started to communicate with my third child when he was about 5 weeks old in my womb. Then, I was bleeding. I rested and I kept talking and asking my baby to heal himself and to be healthy again. I believed in him, that he had the capacity to heal himself. And it was like a miracle when one day later, the bleeding stopped. I was so relieved and happy because he had responded to my message.

Commitment

Commitment is to put your belief into action. Many people may admit belief but do not go with it with real conviction by their actions. Mother should develop a vision of the unborn child. She must have a strong determination to communicate and reach out to the unborn baby.

With strong belief, intention and daily practice, you will be able to communicate with the foetus inside you. You are the closest person to him or her. Whatever you are thinking or feeling will pass on to the unborn child. Through dialogue, meditation, music, imagination, tapping, sending positive and loving messages and so on, mothers can communicate with their unborn babies.

You can't predict when knowing something extra about principles with communication with unborn baby will come in handy. If you learned anything new about communication with unborn baby in this article, you should put your learning into practice and share your experience with others.

My Interest And Experience In Prenatal Training

My interest in prenatal training stemmed from my own early experience in my mother's womb. Later, I found that I was able to benefit from its use with my own children during my pregnancy.

My mother related to me that while I was still in her womb, my father used to talk to me as if I was already a person of my own right. He would update me on things like, "Daddy is back home. How are you? I love you." Those were crucial moments for me. I believe it helped to build the very strong bond I have with my parents today.

I remember my mother telling me that she wanted to give birth to me in the evening when my father was around. I recall her saying that the reason is because she needed my father to support her. True enough, intuitively, I waited for my father to return home and it was only then that my mother started to have labour pains. This was my prenatal experience.

My experience with my children also proved that a connection with your child can actually begin even before the child is born. When I was expecting my first child, I sang a particular nursery rhyme and talked to my son as often as I could. Interestingly, after he was born he remembered the nursery rhyme that I had sung for him while he was in my womb. I could sense and observe that he always felt comfortable, secure and a feeling of warmth whenever he listened to it. It was the major link that helped me to make a deep connection with him. The familiarity made the bonding easier to establish.

While I was pregnant with my second child, I encountered a lot of challenges as I was experiencing the possibility of losing the child. The doctor had informed me that I had a low placenta and I even suffered gestational diabetes. This was when I began to attend the prenatal training course which used the Right Brain Training approach conducted by my teacher, May Ng, who not only guided me with her knowledge and skills, but constantly supported and reassured me with her heart. The training I received helped me greatly in facing, and in the end, overcoming all the challenges from a very positive approach. I became calm to face whatever challenges during my pregnancy. My unborn baby became more relaxed.
