Self Hypnosis Techniques

O buoy i am confused that what is it?
i do that chakra balancing meditation in which u feel rotating colored chakras on diff points of ur spine,,but then i experiment using triangles black in color revolving,,so wats the point of having color,,im sure there is a certain deception involved and its a kind of self hypnosis..also meditation is just a breathing exercise and no energy flows from universe as they deceive u to feel,,i knw its good to have positive deceptions but im not for any kind of deception right now,,also what is TANTRA,,is it pure voodoo and black magic,,i knw its an art but somehow it attracts me,,and i hate myself that i think bou it all the time even when i beleive in science than 10000 year old philosophies and self deception techniques..

1.why did you choose natural labor?
2.how did you prepare?
3.what relaxation techniques did you use?
4.did you use a chant/mantra to help you cope with contractions?
5.what do you think of hypnobirthing?
6.did you do it in a hospital or at home?

Im 30 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. I believe a womans body was designed to give birth naturally and i’d really like to experience a natural delivery. Im practicing self hypnosis and ive been researching many positions, ive also read some mantras but havent chosen one yet. Hopefully i’ll get to stay home as long as possible during labor, me and my midwife are delivering in a hospital though. I do not plan on having an i.v. as it isnt necessary and my midwife supports me in my decision.
Id love to hear your experiences and advice

I’ve had chronic neck and back pain for three years. I heard that self hypnosis can temporarily relieve the pain. Plus when I meditate I have a hard time breaking free from the thoughts about the pain.

I was wondering if you guys had any tips on how to self hypno the pain away? Any techniques? Thanks
