Find a comfortable position,
Sitting or lying,
And wherever you are,
Just allow yourself to settle into the position that you have chosen.
Take a deep breath in,
Feel that breath expanding your chest,
And then just let it go and sink even further into wherever you are.
And you may like to take another deep breath in now,
Fill up your lungs,
And then just let that breath completely go,
Like a sigh leave in your body.
And then you can just allow yourself now to fall into a comfortable breathing pattern,
Seeing each inhalation as an expansion,
And each exhalation as a letting go.
And you can just feel that relaxation now spread down your body,
From the crown of your head to the very tips of your toes.
Just let yourself be supported by the chair or the bed beneath you,
As your whole body relaxes and develops that drifting,
Floating feeling.
And now that you are so relaxed,
I want you just to take a moment and ask yourself,
How do I want to feel as I navigate through this journey to bring my baby into the world?
How do I want to feel?
Perhaps there is an experience or time or memory that you have felt this way,
When you have felt these feelings.
Allow yourself to sink into those memories now,
And really drop into the feelings you felt at this time.
And remember you don't have to moderate or shrink your feelings here.
Allow yourself to feel that feeling to the very greatest of its potential.
Allow it to expand and fill every inch of your body.
You can just let your mind wander here,
And create pictures of experiences and memories that represent how you want to feel.
Feel those feelings these pictures create.
And now you can bring these feelings with you,
As your mind is now drawn to images of you carrying those feelings,
As you navigate these next steps towards motherhood.
Whatever those steps may be,
Whether you are trying to conceive,
Whether you are undergoing fertility treatment,
Perhaps you are pregnant and preparing for birth,
Wherever you are in your journey,
Allow yourself to feel those feelings as you take these next steps.
See yourself being the person you want to be.
See yourself doing what you want to be doing.
See yourself surrounded by the people you want to be with.
And most importantly,
Feel yourself feeling how you want to feel.
Just calm,
Optimistic,
Hopeful,
Excited,
Full of anticipation.
Whatever it is that you want to feel,
Just feel those feelings,
Feel them in your body.
And so as you take these next steps to bring your baby into the world,
You carry these feelings with you,
Because everything is working in harmony to bring you your baby.
Every part of your body and mind is receptive and welcoming of this baby.
You invite them into your life.
You tell yourself all the time how ready you are to take this next step towards motherhood.
How excited you are to meet your baby.
How thankful you are that they are coming to you,
And that they have chosen you.
Because you have created a place in your heart for them.
You have created a place in your life for them.
You invite your baby into your life,
And you welcome them home.
Because you are your baby's home,
And this is where they are meant to be with you.
And you are so ready for this.
Everything you have been through has brought you to this moment.
And so you can take a few moments now,
And really allow yourself to drop into how you want to feel.
Feel those feelings within you,
And allow them to fill every inch of your mind and body.
See yourself taking these next steps,
Feeling the way you want to feel.
And so if you are listening to this before bed,
You will simply let my voice tail off now as you drift off into a restful and healing night's sleep.
And you will wake up when you need to,
Feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead.
But otherwise you can just take a lovely deep breath in,
Let it fill up your lungs,
And then just let it go.
And as you let go,
You may like to wiggle your fingers and toes as you drop back into your body now,
And come back to full awareness.
And remember to carry these feelings with you now as you move through the rest of your day.
