Find a comfortable position,
Whether sitting or lying down,
And just allow your body to move or shift or wiggle in any way it needs so that you can settle more comfortably into stillness.
You might try placing your hands gently on your belly if that feels comfortable to you.
Begin to notice your breath.
Imagine that you could breathe with your entire body,
The breath gently moving through you and touching every cell of your being and that of your babies with prana.
Prana bringing with it energy and vitality,
Connecting you both in one rhythm of breath.
Allow your body to remain relaxed and soft,
Gently invite your breath down low into your belly,
Not forcing it but simply allowing your breath to move with ease and your belly to expand.
Establish your comfortably long breath and allow your mind to settle into the rhythm and the flow of your breathing.
If your mind becomes distracted by thoughts,
Just return to your breath.
Give yourself permission to be fully here in this moment.
You and your baby are easing into a new way of being.
Trust that you have the capacity to meet whatever arises together.
Let your shoulders relax,
Your neck soften.
There is no burden to be carried today and anything that has weighed you down can melt into the flow of ease.
Take some deep breaths now into the sides of your waist,
Feeling your ribs expand out into all four sides of your torso.
Breathe deeply and slowly,
Let it be effortless.
As your baby grows inside you,
You are growing into a new version of yourself.
Breathe deeply,
Filling your lungs and expanding your heart.
Soften any tension around your neck and shoulders and just let your heart be open.
Inhale confidence,
Knowing that everything you need to mother this baby already lives within you.
Inhale and expand your belly and feel your ribs widen.
Exhale with ease.
You are becoming your softest and strongest self.
Inhale deeply,
Breathe in strength,
Power,
Courage.
Exhale and allow your body to soften and surrender a little bit more.
You can be powerful and easeful at the same time.
As you draw closer to your baby's arrival,
Your capacity grows too.
Your power expands.
Today marks the beginning of a new chapter,
A chapter where you move through the world with both strength and softness.
Place your hands over your heart and belly and breathe into both.
Inhale confidence,
Exhale doubt.
Inhale trust,
Exhale worry.
Inhale ease,
Exhale stress.
Inhale acceptance,
Exhale judgment.
Shoulders soft,
Heart open.
You and your baby are coming a new way of being.
Inhale power and strength,
Exhale softness and surrender.
Take as much time as you'd like to here,
Just feeling into stability and strength and power.
Perfectly balanced with ease,
Softness and surrender.
And then come out when you're ready.
