- Releasing tension through cherishing every inhalation and exhalation can not only reduce stress but also speed up labor and deliver a faster, easier birth.
- Training to recognize signs of tension or stress while pregnant, such as shallow breathing, and then consciously returning to deep breathing can help reduce these feelings and create an emotional connection between a mother-to-be and her baby.
- Visualizing a desired outcome while engaging in conscious breathing can allow birthing mothers to tap into their strengths and create a more positive mindset.
