In this last episode of Michelle's series on the Calm Birth meditation program, Naima Bond shares with Michelle what brought her to Calm Birth and her journey to becoming a Calm Birth Teacher Trainer. Together they discuss the extreme value and flexibility of Calm Birth's Calm Parents meditations for postpartum and beyond. These meditations consist of Calm Parent, Calm with Baby, Breathfeeding, Energy Breathing, and Practice of Healing.  Naima also stresses the importance of parents creating a plan for the postpartum period after the birth.*As a note, the breathfeeding meditation will soon be available in four different audio guides depending upon a parent's needs &amp;/or preferences: breastfeeding, pumping milk, bottle feeding, and chestfeeding. "If you saw benefits while you were pregnant of using the Calm Birth meditations and through labor, then let's make this a part of how you are raising children. Like how beneficial do you think that will be as the children get older to understand and be able to utilize this practice? Especially again, you know, post COVID we have no idea what that world's gonna look like.”—Naima BondAbout Naima Bond:Naima Bond, M.Ed. has been serving children and families for over 25 years in the area of early childhood and disabilities.

080 Calm Parents with Naima Bond

Adrienne Bergthold

In Michelle's series on the Calm Birth meditation program, Michelle chats again with Calm Birth Teacher-Trainer Adrienne Bergthold from last week's episode on breath, Naima Bond Teacher-Trainer, and Anna Humphreys the Director of Calm Birth. Together they share the long-established history of Calm Birth, the medical science behind it, and what the practice has brought to each of them and the families they serve. "Meditation is just a practice of being able to recognize when our minds are wandering away, when they're not serving us, when they're not being productive, and to return to this space of awareness where we are connected and centered and where we can see our inner truth and our intuition, if you will."—Anna Humphreys"I feel like people, especially if you are birthing, are trying to seek something that will restore that calm, will help them focus on their breath, help them keep themselves together, for lack of a better word, just because things are so different. ...People are seeking those tools now more than ever. And I'm just so grateful that I can offer something that can assist them and support them in that way."—Naima Bond"That's the whole point, right? Is to let our children know we see them. 'Cause we all, at some level, wanna be seen. We wanna be heard, and this is bringing awareness. Every time we breathe into the womb. Every time we have a moment of awareness, our kids are energetically synced into that."—Adrienne Bergthold Connect with Calm Birth: Website: http://www.calmbirth.org/Instagram: @calm.birthFacebook:  Calm Birth  Connect with Anna Humphries: Website:   http://www.calmbirth.org/the-calm-birth-team-1LinkedIn:   Anna Humphreys Connect with Naima Bond:Website:  http://www.oyabirthandwellnesss.com/Instagram:  @Naimadanita Connect with Adrienne Bergthold: Email:   adriennebergthold@verizon.netWebsite:    http://www.baltimorebirthandmassage.com/ Connect with Michelle Smith:Website:  BirthEaseServices.comFacebook:   Birth Ease,   The Birth Ease Podcast,  Birth Ease Baby Loss SupportInstagram:    @birtheasemichellesmith,  @birtheaselossssupportYouTube:    Birth EaseLinkedIn:  Birth Ease Michelle Smith
