Hi, I'm Siobhan Miller.
2
I'm the founder of The Positive Birth Company.
3
I'm a hypnobirthing teacher and a mum of three,
4
and I am on a mission to make hypnobirthing more accessible for everyone.
5
In hypnobirthing, when it comes to giving birth,
6
we think of two stages of labour.
7
The upstage, where the uterus muscles are drawing up and the cervix is softening and dilating and opening.
8
that's usually the longer stage of labour
9
and then the down stage where the uterus muscles move in the opposite direction
10
and push downwards helping your baby move down the birth canal
11
and into the world and right now i'm going to talk about the down stage of labour
12
and down breathing so we've talked about up breathing
13
and for the up stage of labour in a previous video
14
so this is down breathing for the down stage of labour
15
see what we did there up breathing for the upstage down
16
breathing for the downstage now it's very very similar to up breathing
17
but instead of doing a nice long inhale expand we do a quicker inhale
18
and then we focus on our out breath on our exhale
19
so whereas up breathing was all about relaxation although we still
20
want to be relaxed now this is a lot more active
21
because the down stage of labor is a lot more active your body is pushing your baby out.
22
You are actually birthing your baby.
23
So it's a very focused breath with a real purpose.
24
So I often liken it to blowing out a candle.
25
If you're blowing out a candle,
26
you wouldn't do a lovely soft exhale like...
27
because the candle wouldn't blow out.
28
You would go...
29
So you're not pushing or forcing anything,
30
but you're breathing out with intent.
31
You've got to focus, and that focus is to blow the candle out.
32
And when it comes to down breathing,
33
your focus is breathing your baby out, birthing your baby.
34
So you've got a focus and an intent.
35
So you're not pushing or forcing anything.
36
I want you to work with your body.
37
So think of helping rather than hindering and using your breath to do so.
38
Okay, so when you feel that surge come on and you feel your body starting to push,
39
I want you to take a breath in through your nose.
40
But instead of counting it's just a nice quick breath in
41
and then as you breathe out I want you to try
42
and channel that breath down through your body
43
so instead of breathing out gently as before with the up
44
breathing out into the air I want you to channel that breath down through your body so
45
and I'm putting my hands here on my ribs because
46
when you exhale you'll actually feel your ribs sort of move inwards
47
and down as all your muscles contract and move downwards
48
and you know that you're helping your body so instead of tensing
49
and bracing against the sensation and pulling everything up
50
which would make it very difficult for your baby to be born you're allowing everything to to soften
51
and open but also move downwards so you're working with your body so that's another reason why there's no counting here
52
it's less sort of prescribed and it's listening to your body
53
so when you feel your body push that's when you're going to use this breath a nice quick inhale and then
54
pushing with your breath using your breath to help your body
55
push your baby out not doing this like you see on the telly
56
and just hurting your neck and breaking blood vessels in your face
57
that's not what we want to do we want to work
58
with our body using our breath to work with our muscles
59
and helping ease our baby out so
60
that your birth is more gentle for you
61
and your baby reducing the risk of any damage or tearing so it's really really helpful effective and definitely recommended
62
the best place to practice down breathing
63
because to be honest you probably don't want to do this breathing
64
when you get into bed at night because it's not particularly relaxing.
65
Whereas up breathing, absolutely.
66
Practice up breathing when you get to bed and it will help you get to sleep.
67
but down breathing is a very particular place where it's very good to practice
68
and actually quite helpful and that's when you go for a poo so
69
when you go to the toilet perhaps on your bathroom door
70
on the back of your bathroom door put a little post-it
71
note saying down breathing no one else will know what it means
72
and then when you sit on the toilet
73
when you need a poo especially if you suffer with constipation which can happen in pregnancy
74
using the down breathing will actually help you go to the toilet
75
and causing yourself less pain and less damage and make it easier
76
and then you'll start to really believe in the power of down breathing
77
and when it comes to birth it will feel familiar
78
and you can just start using it so
79
when you feel your body push you use
80
that breathing in through your nose nice quick inhale
81
and then out through your mouth but channeling your breath downwards breathing out with intent that's down breathing.

为什么要通过这段视频练习口语？
通过观看并模仿这段视频，学习者可以在一个真实且富有情境的环境中提高英语口语能力。视频中提到的“down breathing”技巧不仅有助于理解生育过程中的身体变化，还能帮助学习者练习表达和沟通相关的技能。使用shadowspeak技术可以进一步增强发音训练，学习生动的词汇和短语，使口语练习更具互动性和实用性。通过看YouTube学英语，学习者在轻松的氛围中获得自然的语言输入，提升语言表达能力。
语法与表达在语境中的应用
- 句型1: "I want you to..." - 这个句型用于表达希望或要求，非常直接且清晰。
- 句型2: "You are actually birthing your baby." - 此句中的“actually”用得非常恰当，强调真实感，适合生活中的真实情境。
- 句型3: "Instead of..." - 这个短语可用于比较不同的做法，引导听者理解变化的必要性。
- 句型4: "Channel that breath down through your body." - 这里用“channel”动词生动地说明了怎样引导呼吸，非常生动且具象。
学习者可以通过上述句型加强对语法结构的理解与运用，提升口语表达的流畅度。使用shadow speech的方法，学习者能够在模仿时自然融入这些句型，从而更自信地使用英语。
常见的发音障碍
在视频中，有些单词和短语对于英语学习者来说可能比较棘手。比如，“breathe”和“breath”两个词常常混淆，注意发音的细微差别，有助于提高语言的准确性。此外，像“channel”这样的词汇，由于其音节较多，可能会让一些学习者在口语时出现发音错误。为了解决这一问题，建议反复练习并在真实对话中尝试使用。同时，利用提高英语发音的方法，学习者也可以提升自己的流利度和清晰度。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
