How to use the tracks

Here you will find seven MP3 tracks to help you navigate the first year of motherhood.

The first is a hypnosis track for boosting general confidence and helping to relax your body and mind. The second is a series of supportive affirmations, one from each chapter of the book, and the third is a relaxation track to help with calm breathing.

2.    Affirmations (MP3 download, 12.2MB)

Then there are four tracks that are specific to a chapter or experience.

5.    Forgiveness and Letting Go (MP3 download, 4.5MB)

7.    Honouring your Journey (MP3 download, 3.9MB)

All tracks can be listened to throughout your first year. When you listen to them you may feel as though you are falling asleep; this is fine, go with it. Listening to the tracks will relax you and build your belief in your capability to support your baby and yourself. The more you listen to them, the easier you will find it to let go and fully relax. As you may feel sleepy, please make sure you do not listen to them whilst driving or operating machinery.
