SO proud of her!

I was SO proud of Naomi. She really got back into it so quickly. We had an initial 'sleep breathing' session which we both did. Very relaxing and we got into it straight away (we both continue to use this from day to day... very useful to reduce your heart/breathing rate during a triathlon!)

Anyway, then it upped a level and it was soon up to me to guide Naomi through it... so essentially, to lead her into a trance-like state. I was nervous, but it worked a treat. It was pretty amazing when Kayte (our practitioner) was asking Naomi to open her eyes, and she couldn't (a good indicator that she's in the zone).

However... it's not all as freaky as it sounds. It's really just yoga-like breathing, and confidence in your body and that it knows what it needs to do. After our first birthing experience, we're even more confident in how well it will work this time.
