Postnatal Stress

One of the areas that young parents find most difficult is the lack of sleep after the baby is born. Not only do we face a lack of quantity, we also face a lack of quality. The constant waking up process means we rarely get to enjoy the really nourishing parts of the sleep cycle, such as REM and slow wave cycle sleep, meaning we feel even more deprived than usual. 

The unpredictability of such fragmented sleep means that we are also less able to switch off and allow the body’s metabolic rate to meaningfully rest, which compounds the situation.

Unsurprisingly a woman’s hormonal balance is also greatly challenged by the pregnancy, birthing and nursing process.

If we want to be able to love and care for other people it’s crucial we have a means of balancing and replenishing ourselves. 

Through the practice of Beeja meditation, we bypass the shallow layers of rest during sleep and immediately fall into the deepest zone, compensating massively for the deprivation we’re experiencing. 

In addition, one of the most successful aspects of Beeja meditation is its ability to restore balance to our hormonal make-up. Not only will that keep us more level generally, but it will also greatly reduce any possibility of developing postnatal depression. 

Extra bonus. Meditation takes no effort and can even be done whilst nursing!
