Dispelling fear

http://www.wealth-prosperity.info/2008/08/happiness-series-step-9-replace-fear.html

This is a blog that found me actually, but I loved the steps it used here to dispel fear and thought they applied very nicely to labor, birth, and motherhood. Here's the steps they list:


1. Be aware of your body
2. Be in the present moment
3. Embrace silence through meditation
4. Relinquish the need for external approval
5. Get rid of negative emotions
6. Have total knowledge of yourself
7. Don't judge yourself and others
8. Remove toxins from your body and your environments

I might blog about some of these later and how they apply to the birthing process. I thought I'd just post them now for reference and thought.

I'll be blogging about these steps a little more at http://www.crazibeautiful.com/GirlfriendToGirlfriend/ExpertHome.aspx?id=49
