Matrix Birth Reimprinting
What is Matrix Birth Reimprinting?
Matrix Birth Reimprinting is a therapy developed by Sharon King which combines guided visualisation techniques and EFT to clear any negative experiences at conception, in utero and at birth.
Through working with the subconscious mind and metaphor, Matrix Birth Reimprinting gently releases pregnancy and birth related stress and trauma bringing relief to present day emotional and physical symptoms and transforming limiting beliefs and unhelpful patterns.
It essentially offers an effective way of reshaping the narrative of our earliest experiences, including those of our children.
Experience Begins in the Womb
The experience of life and how life is perceived can begin in the womb and just after birth. Inside the womb, a baby is already learning whether the world is either a safe or an unsafe place to be. Babies have what’s known as implicit memory. This is memory that isn’t within consciousness, but which can be accessed later in life through the felt-sense of the body.
For example, if a baby is handled roughly at birth, it creates an imprint, an implicit memory, that perhaps the world isn’t safe, and which may then influence a range of fear-based beliefs. In fact, any issues that happen in utero, during and immediately after birth, and during the hours and days and weeks after being born may become precursor to emotional and physical issues later in life.
Matrix Birth Reimprinting in Practice
- We can work with your own birth, the births of your children or a current pregnancy to help prepare you for the birth. We can also work with loss.
- If we are working with a current pregnancy, it may also be helpful to clear the births of previous children and your own too. It may also be helpful to clear any fears you may have about being in hospital.
- Unless you have anecdotal stories, it is unlikely you will remember your own birth and therefore we will take what implicitly arises in your body as a cue and work with metaphor and visualisation.
- We will use the process of Matrix Reimprinting with EFT to firstly clear any distressing feelings and beliefs from the negative, traumatic event and create a new positive outcome of the original experience.
- Then, through a guided visualisation process, we will give back the birth you truly wanted for yourself or your children and which includes a bonding/attachment protocol between yourself and your chosen caregiver, or between yourself and your child. We use this process to prepare for a future birth too.
- This experience is then imprinted into the mind and body with EFT.
- With a pregnancy loss we will work very gently. We don’t have to go ‘back there,’ instead taking the wounded part of you to a ‘healing place’ within to do the work.
