hey there welcome to this inspirational guided meditation this meditation can be done wherever
you are and no matter where you are in your pregnancy. Let's start by taking a big breath in
and a slow exhale
one more time big breath in and slow exhale
gently rest your hand on your belly and feel the changes that are happening within
your body no matter where you are in this pregnancy your body has changed it has grown
it has adapted in the way that it works there are changes you can witness and so many that are
unseen your body is going through a transition just as you are going through a transition
some of these changes have been more difficult than others some require so much of us mental
energy physical energy emotional energy but each day you get one step closer to meeting your baby
each day you show up for your baby each day your baby changes and grows your body is powerful
you are powerful you are perfectly suited to do the job of creating the person inside of
you and you are perfectly suited to do the job of birthing your baby the birth journey ahead of you
is unknown but no matter how it unfolds you will be able to handle it you have already done so much
you have evidence in your past challenges that you've faced and you've persevered
your body is strong you are strong there's a quote by Maya and Jon Kabat-Zinn that says in
giving birth to our babies may we find that we give birth to new possibilities within ourselves
this journey is like no other birthing a human will push you it will delight you
it will challenge you and it will surprise you and it will shape you into a parent
while you might not know the path ahead you are walking down that path
with strength and confidence inhale strength and exhale fear
your body knows how to do this if you feel doubt along the way remember how much you've
already done on the day that you birth your baby nearly 400 000 others will be doing the same
people from all over around the world from every shape and size living in a variety of locations
each one like you will be bringing forth life allow this thought to unfold in your mind you will
be part of a magnificent collective effort on the day that you give birth life will look different
at any time along this journey of pregnancy birth postpartum if you feel overwhelmed scared tired
anxious confused just remember how much you've done already inhale strength and exhale fear
your body is strong you are strong you are doing this you've got this
i'm so proud of you for taking time today for yourself for this guided inspirational meditation
and i'll see you next time
you
