1
Where your mind leads, your body follows.
2
You are preparing for the beautiful
3
and normal birth of your baby through connecting your mind to your body
4
and baby and leading them in the direction that you want them to go.
5
Fear stands in the way of leading your body towards a positive and fear-free birth.
6
Together let's tear down that fear as you visualize your positive,
7
empowering, and joy-filled birth.
8
Let's take three cleansing breaths together,
9
each one helping you push away the thoughts and events that came before this moment,
10
or that will come after,
11
and pulling you closer to your baby, body, heart, and mind.
12
Breathe in.
13
Breathe out.
14

19
I am connected to my baby.
20
I am connected to my body that holds and grows my baby within it and will one day birth my baby.
21
My mind feels strong and powerful.
22
I am using my thoughts to direct my body in the direction of a healthy,
23
happy and easy birth.
24
Birth is a natural and normal event.
25
For generations, women have been giving birth,
26
Our bodies have been built for birth.
27
My body is built for birth.
28
My birth will be so empowering and wonderful.
29
Even if I can't quite understand this now,
30
I know I will know when labor begins and I will trust in the age-old process.
31
Through each surge, I can see myself calmly and confidently managing my surges.
32
I see myself moving my body to find comfort and to help my baby move down and out to be born.
33
I will not rush the process,
34
but allow it to unfold in whatever way and time it needs to.
35
My baby and I will be working together.
36
I will listen to them and guide them out of my womb and into the world.
37
I will welcome the waves that build and intensify,
38
then recede and provide rest.
39
I know they are helping bring my baby to me.
40
Instead of tensing my body with the surge and fighting it,
41
I will surrender to the sensations and draw my strength and comfort from my steady breathing and relaxation.
42
Just as I am using my breath to draw me into relaxation now.

5.. four five six and as I continue breathing like this I am relaxing all the muscles in my face,
66
my forehead, my jaw, my tongue, my lips.
67
My mouth might even be slightly open.
68
This is how I will be as I birth my baby.
69
My mouth mirrors my cervix, vagina and pelvic floor.
70
When my lips, jaw and tongue are relaxed and open,
71
my cervix, vagina and pelvic floor will be open to allow easy passage for my baby to come through.
72
When I see myself in labor,
73
I see a peaceful environment,
74
dimmed lights, a quiet atmosphere and total peace surround me.
75
In labor to find peace and quiet,
76
all I will have to do is close my eyes
77
and focus on my breathing and relaxing my body as I am still doing even now.
78
I will have all the support I need close by me as I labor.
79
I trust my innate wisdom,
80
learned knowledge, and clear communication to help me make the best decisions for my birth.
81
I will confidently ask questions and seek support when I need it.
82
My birth team is working with and for me.
83
I will labor in positions and places that are most comfortable to me in each moment.
84
I will feel the freedom to be completely myself,
85
to move the way I want to,
86
vocalize how I need, and set up my birth space to encourage this freedom and confidence.
87
I will be surrounded by love and support.
88
If I ever feel afraid during labor,
89
I will simply return to these truths.
90
I am strong.
91
My baby is working with me to be born safely and healthily.
92
Every surge brings me and my baby closer to being together.
93
When I am relaxed, my body opens and my baby comes down and out.
94
My breath is my baby's breath.
95
I am leading my baby and body in the direction that I want them to go.
96
I am fearless.
97
I deserve to enjoy my birth.
98
I have a voice and a choice.
99
I am writing my birth story.
100
My baby is coming at their own pace.
101
There is no wrong or right time to be born.
102
Whenever they arrive will be a perfect time.
103
I hold my peace and calm within me.
104
I can access it whenever I need it.
105
Soon I will meet my baby.
106
I am built to birth.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
