Abstract
The practice of mindfulness meditation offers a variety of benefits. These benefits include stress and anxiety reduction, overwhelmed feelings, irritability, worry, and chronic pain. There have been many studies that support this practice and confirm this to be true. Dr. Adrienne Brown a clinical psychologist also confirms the benefits mindfulness meditation has on childbirth. Mindfulness is an insight into habitual thinking, and power to alleviate stress and suffering. There are numerous mindfulness techniques people use. During childbirth one of these techniques include Lamaze breathing. This is a natural labor and childbirth method that focuses on breathing and relaxation. The focus of mindfulness meditation and child labor is to limit stress, anxiety, fear, and labor pain during the birthing process.
