Keep going on your own a few more times.
At whatever pace feels best for you.
Returning now to a normal breath.
We're continuing with whatever breath feels most supportive to you right now.
Allowing ourselves to relax.
Loosening our shoulders or face.
Unclenching our hands relaxing our neck letting everything melt and centering yourself.
Before we begin.
You are embarking.
On one of the most sacred journeys the female body can take.
And we're going to focus on bringing our mind to a sacred space now to match.
Preparing ourselves for the journey ahead.
This meditation is meant to be done in a quiet place where you can truly focus.
It can be used throughout pregnancy to calm the nervous system.
And create a safe energetic space for you and your baby or it can be repeated throughout labor.
To create a safe space during this special moment in time So let's begin.
Start by gently closing your eyes,
If they're not already.
And tune into your breath.
With every wandering thought or surge you feel throughout this meditation.
Pictured simply as riding a wave.
Knowing there is always a beginning,
Middle,
And end.
Knowing that you are not the wave.
But the water itself.
Returning to a state of calm.
After each crest moving now into the heart of the meditation will begin to create your protection space.
As you enter this sacred space.
We're going to seal a circle of protection.
Around you and your baby.
Giving you a container to birth in that is safe,
Protected.
And calm.
In this sacred space.
You begin to see the distillation of warm golden sparkles of light dancing around you.
Each crystalline fractal of light… beginning to form into a protector who is here just for you.
This can be ancestors you love,
Who have come to this very room just for you.
Holding your hands to let you know they will channel all their powers to hold this sacred container for you now This could be your light guides.
Drawn to you throughout space and time.
Coalescing to adorn your feet,
Your hands,
Your belly,
Your crown.
With protective ointments,
Amulets,
And spells.
Star beings,
Amazonian female warriors.
Beach magical creatures.
Forces from the strong winds the Grand Tetons to give you strength.
The sparkling waters of Icelandic fjords to give you courage.
The coolness of deep space to help bring your baby down from the stars and straight to you.
This could be your favorite book or movie or TV show characters to encourage you,
Cheer you on.
And give you a bit of their magical essence.
I see each one of these ancestors,
Like guides and characters joining forces now as one.
One by one they come into this room.
Offering you something unique to support your journey.
And joining hands together.
With everyone around you.
To form this protective circle that begins to glow and pulsate with light.
Feel the connection these incredible guides are creating around you.
Surrounding you with everything you need for this moment in time.
A circle of endless support and protection.
That nothing bad can penetrate.
You are safe.
You are held.
You are protected.
Staying here for as long as you need.
Feel free to pause the meditation if you wish to see this protection coalesce around you hear from each of your guides and flow in this supportive container When you're ready,
Now that we are in this safe container,
We're going to continue our journey.
Remembering to picture every wandering thought or search simply as a wave to ride.
With a beginning,
Middle,
And end You are not the wave but the water itself.
Vast,
Limitless,
And calm.
Returning to stillness after every crest.
If it's easier to picture.
Every surge or wandering thought.
Is simply a cloud passing through.
And you are the sky.
Letting the storm pass.
And the sky become clear again.
We now are going to continue our journey.
Acknowledging that this moment you're in can be challenging.
Perhaps a little scary,
Intimidating,
Or you may be feeling fear begin to creep in.
This is totally normal.
Your body is meant to do exactly what it is doing now.
And we are going to continue our adventure.
To help you find your deepest wells.
Of courage and bravery.
See a portal open before you now,
Within your circle of protection.
The portal sparks silver all around you.
And as you step through.
You enter into a walkway suspended in the sky.
Stars glitter in all colors around you.
And the walkway pulsates in streams of rainbow light.
As you take a step forward on this walkway.
You feel it giving you feedback.
Nourishing you as the energy moves up through your feet illuminating your body in rainbow light.
Each step forward is becoming more confident.
Changing you on the outside to show the shifts happening within.
Your hair lengthens and strengthens,
Adorned in starlight.
And just as it sways behind you,
So do you find the strength to sway with whatever this journey brings your way.
A cape shot through with purple and silver wraps around you.
Emboldening you.
Showing you the superhero within.
As the cape billows with each step.
You remember just how brave you are.
Feeling like you can fly.
The crown comes to sit at your head.
Made of stardust.
Making you feel confident.
Powerful.
And brave.
Finally.
A walkway comes to an end.
As you stand at the edge of this space.
Around you is so quiet and still.
And you stand tall,
Keep billowing.
Crown adorning your head.
And stars braiding through your hair.
Strong and unstoppable.
You realize you have reached deep space.
In an immensely restorative place.
That calls every ounce of strength and stamina to you.
See a silver cup appear in your hand.
With a silvery liquid that awaits you to drink it.
You know intuitively that this drink will restore you,
Strengthen you,
And infuse every cell of your body with courage and bravery.
As you tilt the cup.
You feel the liquid lighting up every cell.
Becoming what you always knew inside you could be.
Hero in heart,
Strength and bravery,
Stamina and courage.
Finding wells of determination,
Power and energy you didn't know you had.
Feel yourselves waking up.
Feel the strength pulsing through your body stepping into your power here.
Watching your inner transformation as deep space begins to reflect this change all around you bringing shooting stars to you,
The sky lighting up in technicolor.
You are the power of all the women who birthed before you.
And all the women still to come.
You are courage itself.
Embodied in every cell of your being.
You are strong.
You are powerful.
You are limitless.
Stay here for as long as you need,
Drinking from the cup Feeling the energy of deep space around you and within you,
Until you have gathered all the courage and bravery you need.
Feel free to pause the meditation here until you're ready to move to our next adventure.
When you're ready.
You turn and walk back on the walkway.
Feeling so much stronger.
More fearless and brave.
At the end of the walkway.
You see another portal opening.
This one is spinning green with vines that branch out from its inner world.
You feel a warmth beckoning you,
And step through.
Ready for the next step of this journey.
As you enter this new land.
The quiet of deep space is replaced with the chorus of sounds of the forest.
Gigantic trees surround you,
Vines twisting every which way.
Forest animals swinging from the trees and moving all around you.
Two panthers stay close by.
Protection for you,
You know intuitively.
As you put your hands on the earth.
It vibrates its energy back to you.
And you realize this is no normal forest.
You've stepped into a truly magical one.
This is ancient forest energy.
One that has been growing this land and enriching it for centuries it holds magic you can feel it in your hands green fresh and pure energy that is a light with fierce potency As you ground,
You begin to see signs and etchings lighting up on the trees,
The leaves,
The earth before you.
It's in a language you don't know.
Yet inherently understand.
The language is rich and soulful.
A map to find new wells of energy within yourself.
Through the power of this forest.
Feel the energy of nature around you.
Developing you filling your spirit with aliveness.
Energizing your hands,
Your feet,
Your arms,
Your legs.
Your whole body with this rich vitality.
Feel your muscles waking up.
Your mind sharpening.
Every ounce of exhaustion you have had up until this point drains into the earth beneath you.
As all the roots around you meet their mission.

Powering you up with an energetic potency that is unmatched.
You feel energized.
A light with a vibrancy and spirit that cannot be broken.

And become unstoppable.
Staying here as long as you want as the forest rises up to meet you with this ancient woodland magic Feel free to pause this meditation here.
Until you're ready for the next stop on our adventure.
When you're ready to continue on.
A blue portal begins to swirl in front of you.
Spraying little salty droplets on your skin.
You can feel the warmth of the sunshine as you step through.
And arrive on the most stunning,
Tranquil beach.
This beach is peaceful and bright.
The ocean waves lap gently on the shore.
And as you look toward the horizon.
The water blends into the sky like watercolors.
You blink to see if what's in front of you is truly real.
Walking along the shoreline,
Candles dotting your path.
You feel the sensations of your toes in the sand.
And the water cooling your feet.
Slowly coalescing around you into sparkles that build and build… You can sense the magic of this place,
Of these waters.
And as the sparkles grow brighter.
Dotting each wave with hints of something ancient and wise.
You see someone begin to come into view.
Out of the waves,
An ocean goddess emerges.
She is wearing a crown.
Shell necklaces adorn her body.
And she looks at you with aqua eyes that are piercing clear and bright.
She is filled with power from waters across the globe having collected the tranquility and ancient magic of Icelandic fjords.
The wisdom and abundance of life in the Fiji native tides.
The clarity of tropical Caribbean waves that carry the secret powers of the ocean deep.
You know intuitively that she is here to impart all of this upon you.
To transfer her powers to you.
Pouring into you with all she has.
You know that this incredible beach will provide you with relaxation with flow.
With allowing every moment to pass.
Like a wave returning to the ocean reminding you that you are not the wave.
But the ocean itself.
You know that she will provide you.
With all the wisdom,
Clarity,
And flow.
Of the oceans across the world.
As you walk along the sandy shores with her.
Feeling the warmth of the sun and her power radiate out to you.
You gently let the cool water lap at your toes.
And pick up shells along the path.
Each unique.
Each beautiful.
She gives you a piece of string to put the shells on.
Each one infusing you with extra power.
As you build a necklace that is filled with magic.
The fur shell is striped with pink,
Brought from the Caribbean clear seas.
As you string it on your necklace,
You feel the clarity of these tropical waters.
Feel yourself becoming more grounded.
More clear-headed.
Able to see the reality and subtle energies too.
Connected to yourself.
Your baby.
And the world around you.
The second shell is circular.
Its cone shape brought to you from the indigenous waters of Fiji.
And brings with it deep indigenous knowledge and magic.
As you string this onto your necklace.
You begin to feel the interconnectedness to yourself.
Your baby.
And the world around you.
You are in harmony with all the women birthing beside you around the world.
You are connected deeply to nature.
Each breath mirroring the waves you hear… as you walk alongside the waters on this stunning,
Tranquil beach.
The next shell is almost as smooth as stone.
And you know intuitively that this comes from the Icelandic fjords.
Fjords are shaped by the towering glacial mountains.
And this shell gives you that sky-high perspective,
Feeling as tranquil as the fjord itself.
Able to have perspective.
Zoom out.
And see this as just one of many meaningful moments in your life.
This shell is cooling.
And makes you feel tranquil.
Quiet and serene.
The ocean goddess hands you the final shell to put on your necklace.
As the sun begins to set over the horizon.
And the candles around you glow brighter.
This shell is blue.
And you can feel the magic pulsating.
As she puts it in your hand and closes both her hands around yours.
This shell gives you a complete sense of peace.
And you exhale as she pours all her peaceful energy and calm into you.
Infusing every breath.
Every atom of your body.
With calm.
Relaxation.
And perspective.
As she puts the necklace on you.
Your body flows with this water magic.
And you feel the rush of water showering over you.
From the top of your head to your shoulders.
Your fingers,
Your stomach,
Your legs,
Your toes.
You are calm.
You are at peace.
You are a water goddess.
Who is at one with yourself?
The waves?
And this experience.
As you get ready to leave this space.
You thank the Goddess for this time.
And a portal begins to open again.
Bringing you into a new space.
In this space.
You allow for everything to come together.
Everything from each part of your journey.
To coalesce into one place.
Every reality.
Every power here for you.
Allow yourself to simply be here.
Breathe here.
In this protected space full of light.
Energy.
Peace.
And tranquility.
Now it's time.
To really bring every element of this portal into fruition.
Bringing in your circle of protection,
Of people you trust,
Admire,
And who love and support you.

With safety,
Shelter,
Love,
And light.
The light of their protection shines upon your face,
Your being.
Bathing you in a loving protective glow.
The bravery and courage that alights in crystalline fractals around and on your crown,
Coming from deep space,
Giving you the power boldness,
Fearlessness.
And courage of the stars themselves.
The grounded energy of the forest.
The Panthers beside you will provide you with strength.
The ancient wisdom pulsating through you.
Your being allowing you to feel so connected to the energy of this moment.
Blooming vines and flowers that adorn your body with this grounded energy.
And the flow of the ocean tides.
The shells lighting up the necklace you wear,
Giving you perspective,
Tranquility and peace in this moment.
All of these deep,
Magical,
Ancient elements.
Bringing you exactly what you need to meet the moment.
You are here.
Adorned with all you need to embrace and get through this experience with love with light with groundedness,
Bravery,
Energy,

And utter tranquility.
Let yourself marinate here as long as you need soaking in all these forces.

When you're ready.
Take a deep inhale in.
And exhale.
Sealing in all of this incredible energy.
And knowing any and all of these spaces are here for you to return to anytime you need.
Slowly leaving the portal and bringing yourself back into the room you're in.
Eyes still closed.
Wiggling fingers and toes.
Giving yourself a gentle stretch.
You are embarking on one of the most profound adventures and experiences any human can take.
And you are ready to meet it.
With the utmost protection,
Courage.
Fearlessness.
Infinite energy.
And calm.
You are surrounded by love and light.
