Meditation is used for a variety of reasons, each with incredible results. I found this article that talks about the Calm Birth Program, which uses reiki, meditation, and music to induce a state of calm that women enter into before beginning labor.
The technique helps in healing labor pain. What's beautiful about this development is that it can be used not just by pregnant women but by anyone who faces stress and hypertension.
Calm Birth Blends Centuries-Old Wisdom with Modern Medical Understanding
"Rachel DeMasi was eight months pregnant and had no desire to use any medication during the birthing process.
A few weeks before going into labor, DeMasi, 35, of South Amboy was introduced to the Calm Birth program by her obstetrician, Alissa Kaye, a physician at Overlook Hospital who took the classes during her own pregnancy last August.
"She just thought it would be really helpful," DeMasi said of Kaye's advice.
It turns out Calm Birth was just what the doctor ordered, as DeMasi successfully — and peacefully — gave birth to a son, Noah, about six weeks ago.
Kaye, who gave birth to a baby girl last August, said she tried Calm Birth because she thought it would be a good experience both as a doctor and as a patient.
