My name is Jeanne Engle and I'm the Director and Co-Founder of the Imagery Birthing Center.  It is my pleasure to present to you our wonderful and effective Imagery Birthing Program.  The Imagery Birthing Program has become the most requested Natural Childbirth program for two specific reasons:

(1) Because of mothers-to-be and the professional childbirth educators that have elected to make Imagery Birthing the primary Mind to Body supportive method and (2) because of its effectiveness and simplicity in learning.

What is Imagery?
Imagery is fundamental to our basic learning process and is directly related to any one, any combination, or all of our five senses... meaning, "Imagery is everything that we see, hear, taste, touch and smell... and its through these interactive images, that we create [the ultimate] images... that reside within our mind."  We are as we See, We are as we Believe, and... We are as we Live!

The essence of Imagery is, "it is how we interact and mange these [mind] images, that will have a direct affect on our lives... and ultimately with respect to Imagery Birthing... it is how you establish and develop your mind to body relationship (with you and your baby) to work in relaxed harmony for an optimum birthing experience."

BONDING

"Bonding" (one of our 8-primary Audio Relaxation CDs) teaches you how to interact with the beautiful and complete "energy-connection" which exists within your body and also with your newly developing baby throughout your pregnancy, labor and delivery.

Bonding is simply the most incredible and unique experience and creation the mother and baby can develop and mutually enjoy... it's for the moment... it's for the labor & delivery (birthing experience), and it's for life!  You will easily see, feel and understand how to communicate and interact with your baby as clearly during your pregnancy, as you do with any person in your daily life... it only requires a little patience, exciting practice and a belief that fully develops through performance.  Bonding will create the perfect "balance and harmony" between you and your baby for the most enjoyable birthing experience possible.  It's simply a matter of communication (interaction) and the sharing of your loving motherly energy!  It works so basically and beautifully... after all, it is "YOU" that creates this miracle of life!

 Through Imagery Birthing You Will Learn:

  • A new approach to how we think and how our thoughts affect our lives.

  • How stress, fear and emotions affect the birthing experience.

  • How to create your own endorphins to ease discomfort and produce you own natural epidural.

  • How to experience the beautiful sexuality of your birth.

  • How color and aroma can stimulate our senses and assist in enhancing relaxation.

  • How to prepare the physical body through gentle stretching.

  • How to develop a positive emotional environment for you and your baby throughout your pregnancy, labor & delivery and beyond... throughout your wonderful life!

Positive vs. Negative Words

Here are a few examples of intrusive words and phrases that many of us have encountered in our lives - and that the Imagery Program can and will reverse, change and alter while providing you with and unmatched level of self-confidence and self-empowerment! 

Have you heard the following?

  • Oh Congratulations, I hear you going to have a baby . . . boy, I sure don't envy you, that labor is going to be so painful!

  • Have you ever been told, "You weren't good enough" to accomplish something?

  • Have you heard, "You can't do that" by someone you either respected or looked up to?

  • Have you ever experienced deep emotional pain or discomfort through words or expressed-thoughts made by others?

  • Have you ever felt such intense physical pain or discomfort that you have actually thought or said, "This hurts so bad that I almost wish I were dead?"

These and many other [negative phrases] are far too common to us on a daily basis.  It seems that all we hear is "how something can't be done... or why it won't work!"  

  • Wouldn't it be nice to know how to interact with such words and phrases in a totally positive and structured way?

  • Wouldn't it be nice to know how to transcend a negative situation into a positive experience?  

  • Wouldn't it also be nice to positively know that it doesn't have to be painful to have a Natural Childbirth?

Of course it would, and it would also be nice to know that you [can] learn how to have a positive and pleasant Natural Childbirth experience.

 

The Imagery Birthing Program is designed to instruct, support, and assist the Mother-to-be, to have a better understanding of herself, her pregnancy, her personal power, and above all... the Mother-to-be will learn how to create the Natural Childbirth that she desires and deserves to have.

CD-#1 24-Track "Audio Instruction Manual"

Your perfect (take me anywhere) companion is the Imagery Birthing Instructional Manual.

Produced with 24 Audio tracks which enables you to instantly click and return to your last study location!  We respect your time, and that's why we placed our entire instructional manual on CD. 

You can listen and study anytime you choose.  Simply put on a set of your most comfortable headphones, and you're good to go..! You'll have all the right tools to create the perfect natural birthing experience you desire and deserve! And... there's much more..!

CD-#2 BONDING:  Your journey will begin as you follow the gentle instructions… you will release all stress and tension.  The relaxation will assist your mind in a gentle flow of releasing any other thoughts that may be passing through.  You will be asked to imagine a very special place - one that makes you feel calm and happy.  This may be a beautiful beach, a quaint cabin, a mountain with a stream or any other comfortable setting.

The key is to just think of a place that is enjoyable… for You!  You will have a moment of quiet time to allow this beautiful image to develop in your mind.  You will then have a moment of quiet time to allow this beautiful image to develop in your mind.  You will then be presented an opportunity to begin sending loving thoughts to your baby, allowing the bonding process to begin.  You will direct these loving thoughts- communicating through your mind /body to the mind/body of your beautiful unborn child.  Positive thoughts will flow through you, creating a solid foundation of love to your baby.

CD-#3 RELEASING EMOTIONS:

Far too often, locked deep in our memory are the negative thoughts and fears of how unpleasant the birthing experience will occur. Many of these feelings stem from conversations with others or a prior, not so perfect, birth experience.

By learning how to release these negative thoughts and replace them with positive information, you will build your own self-

confidence and begin to create the comforting birth you choose to experience. Your body will achieve what you truly believe!            

           

CD-#4 THERMOMETER:  The thermometer creates the image of a large clear thermometer inside your body that slowly fills with silvery anesthesia from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. You will follow the numbers down from the number 40 to the number 1…

With each number that is counted down, your body begins to fill with the silvery liquid anesthesia.

The anesthesia flows down into your body all the way to the tips of your toes and your body feels numb and tingly throughout…for as long as your body requires for comfort.

CD-#5 CONTROL ROOM:  This tape takes you through a tour of your subconscious mind where there are many switches and dials that can be turned on or off, depending on the desired outcome. You will learn to turn off your fear and turn on your self-confidence and your own numb and tingly anesthesia, for as long as your body needs.

 

CD-#6 COLOR ANESTHESIA:  Color reflects our moods and enhances our physical and emotional well-being. Colors permeate our culture, language and health.

Color can be stimulating or depressing, repelling or attractive. Color can be very healing and we are normally drawn to the colors that reflect our needs each day. Color anesthesia allows us to use colors to create an anesthetic effect of numbing coolness

throughout your body.

Because color uses our visual sense, it is easy and effective to imagine. Through the beauty of color in your life, you will float freely on a cloud of color, creating the color anesthesia necessary to bring on deep comfort and numbing coolness throughout your body.

 

CD-#7 TIME DISTORTION:  Time distortion provides such full relaxation that “TIME” becomes non-important or irrelevant with respect to the progression of labor time. Your relaxation deepens and time flows by quickly. This time distortion or time change allows you, your body and your baby to conserve the energy needed for the final stage of pushing at birth.

CD-#8 OPENING FLOWER:  This tape’s imagery is symbolic of the anatomical process of your cervix opening naturally wider and wider — allowing your baby to pass through without restriction.

You will imagine a very beautiful flower that is coming into full bloom. Because your mind and imagination relate to the beauty of a flower in bloom — your body will also expand and open to accommodate your baby’s birth passage.

This tape is especially helpful during your second stage of labor, as it continues to focus your mind to body attention on your need and desire to open comfortably and appropriately for the beautiful birth of your baby. This will tape will work with your body best when it is played during your labor and birth.

CD-#9 IMAGERY AFFIRMATIONS:  Affirmations are an essential, important and a very instrumental part of the Imagery process.

Affirmations provide your mind with information that causes the mind to affirm the reality of what you are saying or thinking and ultimately imagining.

Affirmations are statements that when used consistently through choice… can and will

become your foundational belief structure and reality! Positive affirmations will [always] produce positive results… if you choose to practice and believe in them!
You have control of the thoughts that [you] choose to place into your mind. Your body will respond according to the thoughts that you choose. Positive or Negative the mind does not care or distinguish… the mind only reacts and responds to what [YOU] have chosen to put there! It is simply… that basic!

CD-#10 SERENITY RELAXATION:  Through our working relationship with Serenity Music, we are very pleased to extend this complimentary Imagery relaxation music CD.

You will interact with your own intimate thoughts simply and easily by the familiar relaxing melody.  This is the #1 general relaxation audio background music that we've successfully used since 1995!
