Hello.
This meditation is designed to help you find peace to reduce stress during your pregnancy.
I invite you to find a comfortable seat wherever you are.
If you prefer to lay on your back,
Please do so.
Invite air to flow through the body.
Invite calmness to flow through the mind.
Begin to flutter the eyes closed or lower the gaze,
Setting your intention on the breath.
Slowly inhale through the nose and begin to slowly release the breath through the nose.
Begin breathing in this pattern on your own.
Growing a baby inside of you can bring so many emotions and sometimes stress.
Begin to identify these emotions noticing how you're feeling during these times.
Having high levels of stress can bring harm to the body and your body is already doing so much work to form the being inside of you.
Invite one hand to the belly and the other hand to the heart center.
When you feel stressed,
Emotional or fearful during any time on this journey,
Engage this cooling breath to help you calm the body,
Calm the mind and reduce stress.
On your next natural inhale,
Slowly engage the air through your nose.
On your next natural exhale,
Form a small little circle by parting your lips to allow the air to release.
As you inhale,
Allow the breath to flow nice and slow.
As you exhale,
Again gently part the lips,
Releasing the air nice and slow.
Let's do that again.
Inhale slowly,
Breathe in the air,
Feel the air flowing through your body.
As you exhale,
Cool the breath down by parting the lips and releasing the air nice and gently.
For the next few moments,
Take a few rounds of this cooling breath.
And as you're breathing in this motion,
Begin to release any pressure and tightness you are holding as you're cooling down,
As you're slowing down,
As you're calming down the body.
Continue to breathe,
Continue to cool down and continue to slowly release the stress with every breath.
With every inhale,
With every exhale,
Continue to cool the body down even further.
With every inhale,
With every exhale,
Release the stress out of the body.
Continue to use this breath when you're feeling overwhelmed,
When you're feeling stressed,
When you're feeling tired.
As you embark on your day,
Remember to always focus your attention on the breath.
