Welcome to Awakening Moon guided meditation series.
I'm Julianne Blue,
Your meditation guide.
Today's meditation is going to be focused on letting go of fear and anxiety during pregnancy.
Find a comfortable place to lie down,
Taking care that your body is fully supported and comfortable.
And once you start to settle in,
Just take some deep breaths,
Relaxing your toes and your legs,
And just letting go of the tension in your hips,
Letting your spine adjust and align itself,
Just letting that breath into your belly,
Expanding your rib cage,
Bringing it all the way up into your chest and into your shoulders,
Relaxing your arms and your hands and your neck muscles.
And now just breathing up into your throat and feeling that passageway relax and open wide,
Letting your jaw relax in your ears,
In your nose,
In your eyes,
Loosening your forehead,
Letting go of the tension in the top of your head and your hair.
And just taking a few deep breaths here,
Feeling the movement,
Feeling that relaxation.
And now just being conscious of pulling that breath up through your feet and exiting it out through the top of your head.
And really just imagining your feet being planted like a tree into the earth and letting the roots just go down into the ground.
And imagining that those roots are connecting into this core source of love and light and that life force energy is just pulling up through that root system into your legs,
Into your pelvis,
Into your belly.
And just feeling the expansion there and the relaxation there.
And pulling that life force up into your gut and into your heart chakra and into your throat and into your third eye and letting that just exit through the top of your head through that crown chakra.
And now we're just going to take a minute to acknowledge whatever feelings are coming up for you today,
Whatever emotions are presenting.
And we're just going to take a look within and acknowledge those things without judgment,
But with self-compassion,
Self-acceptance and love.
Taking special attention around the things concerning your pregnancy,
The things relating to this journey of motherhood.
What are the fears that come to the surface for you around this pregnancy?
Maybe this is a new role for you as a first-time mother.
Maybe you're adding to your motherhood with another child.
What are the fears around your capacity and your space to provide for this child financially,
Emotionally,
Spiritually?
What are your anxieties over not having enough or not being enough for yourself,
For your family,
For your partner,
For this baby?
Maybe you're carrying multiple pregnancies.
What are the fears around not being enough and not having enough?
And again,
Just gently becoming aware of those,
Seeing those needs,
Seeing those fears,
And just mothering them,
Holding them,
And letting your love,
And letting this light and this life force energy that's flowing up through you wash over them,
Soothe them,
Comfort them,
And wash them away.
Just speaking those things into awareness and feeling those ocean waves coming up into your belly,
Into your pelvis,
Into your heart.
And just ebbing and flowing,
Letting the love and light come in and nourish with its abundance,
With its reassurance,
With its comfort.
And just letting go by acknowledging the ways that we fall short,
Acknowledging our humanity,
Acknowledging our own brokenness,
Acknowledging our hurts,
Where we feel we might be lacking,
Lacking in our own motherhood.
The ways we feel we may not measure up to expectations.
From society,
From others,
From ourselves.
And now just taking a moment to acknowledge the strength and ability of our bodies,
To create life,
To grow seeds,
To be cultivated,
Acknowledging your fertility,
Your ability to conceive.
And just sitting in gratitude and in awe,
Of the mystery of your own body,
Of its ability to knit things together in the darkness,
Of its ability to take a spark,
A seed,
An intention,
A tiny fragment of love and hope,
To plant it deep down within you,
To hold it there,
To feed it and nurture it,
To protect it,
To embrace it,
To embody it,
To become one with it,
To see it growing,
To develop it with yourself,
To pour your own blood,
Your own essence into it,
To feed and water it daily,
To carry the weight of it,
To endure the work of it,
To feel your own determination within it,
Your own strength and courage within it,
To stand by it,
To stick with it,
To see it becoming and growing,
Taking shape,
Developing into beauty,
Taking on a mysterious life of its own,
Becoming its own vessel,
Its own partnership with this life force.
And just breathing in the gift of that knowing,
Of that awareness,
Of that awareness,
And breathing in that honor,
That sacred peace and worship for this temple that is birthing your best intention,
A dream you had,
An expression of yourself,
Of your love,
And feeling the abundance of this contribution of love to you and back into the world.
And just holding that gift and feeling the movement and making of it within you,
And just filling,
Filling,
Filling your heart with hope and trust that you will always have everything you need along your journey of motherhood.
You will always have what you need to mother yourself and to mother those that are put in your path.
There is an unending supply of this life force energy inside your fingertips,
It's under your feet,
It's in the light around you,
It's in the trees,
And just feeling your ability to tap into those things,
To find that source of energy when you need it,
Knowing that it's always there for you,
That you can take this time to be still whenever you need it,
That the time will always be there and given to you when you ask,
When you acknowledge it.
And now just taking another couple of deep breaths and bringing all of that energy,
This time taking it from your crown above your head and just bringing it down and pushing it all the way through your body and out through your feet,
Back out through that root system,
And coming back into your legs,
Back into your hips,
Back into your belly and into your heart and just wiggling your shoulders and your arms,
Taking your hand,
Just putting it on your heart,
Just putting it on your heart,
And now just say these words,
I love you,
I believe in you,
I love you,
You will always have everything you need.
