Affirmations are a powerful mindfulness tool to support you throughout pregnancy and birth.
They help shift your internal messaging,
Reinforcing positive thoughts when you need them the most.
Like the waterfall visual,
The more you practice these affirmations,
The more natural and instinctive they become,
And the wider the path of the waterfall.
A mantra is simply a phrase designed to free the mind.
In Sanskrit,
Man means mine and tra means freeing.
So by repeating affirmations or mantras,
You will begin to be centered,
Helping you stay calm,
Focused,
And confident.
For affirmations to be most effective,
They should resonate with you.
If I trust and tune into my body feels untrue,
Try I'm learning to trust and tune into my body.
Find affirmations that align with your strengths and repeat them daily.
Write them where you'll see them or say them aloud.
As we move into this guided meditation,
Listen for affirmations that empower you.
Find the ones that feel most supportive and allow them to become a part of your daily practice,
Knowing that they are always with you.
And when you are comfortable,
Close your eyes and notice your body begin to soften.
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,
Release any tension from the day.
Breathe in calm and exhale out any doubt or worry.
Breathing in three,
Two,
One,
And breathing out,
Let go,
Let go,
Let go.
And as you continue to breathe,
Receive these affirmations.
Allow them to fill your mind and to feel your body.
And feel free to repeat them out loud or silently in your mind as we begin and dive into them now.
Birth is natural,
Beautiful,
And safe.
My body was made to do this.
I am surrounded by love.
My body softens,
Expands,
And opens.
All I need is within me now.
Three,
Two,
One,
Let go,
Let go,
Let go.
I am strong.
I am centered.
I am doing this now.
I welcome each contraction as it brings me closer to meeting my baby.
Just as my baby is effortlessly developing,
They will effortlessly be born.
I trust my body to do what it was meant to do.
I can handle anything that comes my way.
I listen to my intuition and follow its wisdom.
My baby is healthy and safe.
I am calm.
I am confident.
I deeply accept and admire myself in this moment.
I am calm.
I am peaceful.
I am ready.
Breathe these messages in knowing that they are always within you.
Breathing in now,
Three,
Two,
One,
And breathing out,
Let go,
Let go,
Let go.
Your body has carried you through life and is now creating and carrying a new life.
How incredibly beautiful.
Now gently bring yourself back to the present and with a deep breath in,
Open your eyes,
Carrying this peace and confidence with you.
You are calm.
You are confident.
You are doing this now.
Thank you for the time today and may you breathe with ease,
Move with trust,
And thrive through all things life and labor.
