A beautiful testimony on the power of Organic Ultrasound©:
I started my journey with Samatone by DPYP! in Jan' 12 and loved every hmmm-stretch & tone. Before I knew it, I was pregnant with my first child and had to practice in a different studio during my pregnancy (sans heat).
Along came December 18th, I was a week past my due date, and in the hospital to have an induced labor. For whatever reason, my body responded very fast and very strongly to the pitocin and I was soon in severe pain and full-on labor. I put aside my ego & asked for the epidural.
Awaiting the anesthesiologist, I hummed and toned through the pain- anything to keep my mind off it and my body relaxed. Soon the doctor came in with an 8-inch needle to go throughout spine- I was instructed to curl over and to stay PERFECTLY still.
I hummed as they injected the needle.
Afraid to move, and in a LOT of pain, I stopped humming for a quick second and the entire staff immediately said "No! Keep humming. Keep humming. Keep on with your humming."
Apparently my body seized-up as soon as I stopped. By humming through the injection- I was able to relax my body to ease-in the needle without complication and as little discomfort as possible.
Loooong story short- the toning & humming really helped RELAX my mind and body during the pain of my delivery. I now hmmmm sweet lullabies to my beautiful baby boy to calm him down to sleep.
So thank you sincerely for the lessons. I hope this may help other soon to be mommies- or anyone in need. I look forward to learning more.
