Visualizing Birth

The Crowning Rose – this image is used in the HypnoBirthing program to help expectant moms visualize their body opening easily and gently like a rose when their baby emerges.

Just found an absolutely COOL website – especially for any of your birth/symbol/art junkies!  This is just perfect.  The site is called Visualizing Birth.  It’s a collection of art and images relating to birth.  And includes articles about birth as they relate to the images.  The subconscious mind is the most powerful part of our mind and it’s also sometimes the most misunderstood.  It’s the repository of all our ideas and experiences and the beliefs that have arisen because of those experiences.  It’s like an inner road map to reality.  What do images have to do with all that?  Well the language of the subconscious is feeling, imagery and imagination.  Symbols, art and images fit right in with it.  That’s what makes visualization so powerful.

If you love it as much as me – let me know!

Have a great day,
