Ultimate Pregnancy Meditation

This pregnancy meditation inspires confidence in the body and gratitude for it, while promoting relaxation and feelings of safety, protection and support. It also reframes symptoms such as nausea and fatigue; and sets the stage for labor and delivery by enhancing the sense of connection with the baby within and with all the caring, protective, well-wishing ancestors who have come before.

To begin with,

See if you can take a moment to check your position,

Shifting your weight so that your body feels well supported,

Especially your back and your legs.

You may even want to have a pillow under your knees if you're lying down or behind your lower back if you're seated.

And gently allowing your eyelids to close,

Letting your hands rest comfortably on your body,

On your chest or midriff or abdomen,

So you can feel the rise of your body as you breathe in and the way it settles back down as you breathe out.

So more and more,

You can become attuned to the feel of your own breath moving in and out of your body.

Breathing in as fully as you comfortably can and breathing out completely and easily.

And with the next in-breath,

Imagining that you're sending the warm energy of your breath to any part of your body that's sore or tense or tight and releasing the tension with the exhale.

So you can feel your breath going to all the tight,

Cramped places,

Warming and loosening and softening them and breathing out the discomfort,

Lifting up and carrying out all the tension on the strong,

Wide back of the out-breath.

Breathing deeply into the heart of any fatigue,

Energizing your body with the power of the breath and exhaling weariness with each out-breath.

Breathing into any unwelcome thoughts or worries and breathing them out with the out-breath so that for just a moment,

The mind can be empty.

For just a split second,

It can be free and clear space and you're blessed with stillness.

Breathing into any emotions that may be rocking around inside,

Emotions that can rise and subside on waves of powerful hormones washing through you and releasing them with the out-breath.

So more and more,

You can become balanced and steady,

Your emotional self still and quiet like a lake with no ripples.

More and more aware of the healing action of your own breath as you inwardly affirm your intention to support and nourish this new life inside of you and knowing that your body has the built-in intelligence to do this,

To do whatever is needed,

That your body is your trustworthy,

Intelligent ally.

And you may have noticed how easily your attention is drawn inward,

A gentle preoccupation with the soft dark chambers of your interior where the sweet secrets of new life lay folded,

Tucked away,

All safe and cozy,

Your whole body smiling with the knowledge of how each beat of your heart surges nourishment and pulses strength,

Suffusing this new being with everything it needs.

Feeling the soft weight of your hands on your body,

The warmth from your hands soaking into layers of tissue,

Deeper and deeper,

Sending a greeting and a blessing inward.

Pleased to be joining the company of all the women who have come before you and all the women who will come after you.

And feeling their same sense of wonder and awe and gratitude for the impeccable intelligence of your body that sees to every detail,

Ensuring that an embryo alights and lodges in rich,

Soft,

Nourishing tissue,

Becoming firmly anchored so that a tiny cluster of cells can multiply with stunning speed,

A profusion of intense,

Perfectly orchestrated activity,

Each tiny element knowing exactly what to do,

What to become.

The wisdom of the body surrounding a delicate,

Budding embryo with a protective mucus coating so it won't be mistaken for alien tissue and accidentally expelled from the body.

And trusting that the body also knows when that is necessary,

When to let it all go and start anew.

The intelligence of the body supporting a whole new being and offering a gentle cushion of warm,

Welcoming fluid all around the tender,

Growing fetus to absorb jarring movements and harsh sounds and offer extra nourishment.

The genius of the body assisting creation by building a whole new organ,

The multi-talented placenta perfectly positioned between mother and child to guard against harm and keep out infection and toxicity.

But ingeniously allowing in sustenance,

A diligent,

Discriminating gatekeeper and protector.

And you might be becoming more and more aware of the flexibility of your skin and tissue,

Of your muscle and joints that can so generously accommodate this growing new life,

Able to expand to make as much room as is needed.

And knowing too that the body will just as ingeniously subside and contract,

Returning skin and tissue,

Muscle and joints to normal position and size when the time is right.

Understanding that the mouth of the uterus knows how to stay tightly sealed with the extra protection of its natural built-in mucus cork,

An ingenious device thick and tight to keep the baby extra safe,

Sealed off from sources of infection.

All the while,

Uterine muscles rehearsing and toning,

Warming up with occasional contractions so that when the time is right,

It can move into capable action with efficiency and ease.

And you can be confident in the knowledge that even the discomfort you might feel from time to time comes from the purposeful activity of your body,

Comes from new hormone levels,

Increased blood flow and all the new requirements for new life.

Every cell supporting the divine alchemy inside of you so your body can hold and nourish this precious new being.

Every fiber,

Every cell,

Every neuron,

Every biochemical message utterly committed to one overriding mission to keep mother and baby safe and strong.

And still feeling the soft weight of your hands on your body,

The warmth from your hands soaking into layers of tissue deeper and deeper,

Sending a greeting and a blessing to the baby inside.

And knowing that your heartbeat,

Your voice,

Your body heat,

Your gait,

Your touch,

Your laughter and your love can be felt at some level by this little being tucked away so safe and warm inside of you,

So connected to you and perhaps connected to other things as well,

To the cushion of energy surrounding the two of you,

Gently protecting and enclosing you both,

A cushion of sparkling,

Humming energy,

Dancing and pulsing all around you,

Drawing to it all the love and sweetness that has ever been felt for you by anyone at any time.

Every prayer and good wish,

Every smile and gesture of gratitude,

Every gentle,

Loving act,

Pulling it all in like a powerful magnet,

Calling every good wish home,

Enveloping you in protection and support.

And perhaps also sensing in this cushion the presence of smiling ancestors,

Leaning over and softly whispering this child's name,

Transferring to this baby their highest hopes and deepest intentions to pick up their banner and carry the best of what they stood for.

And perhaps sensing too the warm presence of other guardians and allies,

Sweet spirits,

Magical beings,

Teachers and guides,

Animal helpers,

Guardian angels,

Old and dear friends,

Crooning soft lullabies in low,

Loving voices and carrying gifts tenderly offered and offering visions and dreams and guidance,

Promises and blessings.

And you might even feel on your skin the warmth and magic of these helpers all around you,

Guarding your dreams and ensuring your safety.

And you know with your whole being in the deepest part of your heart that this new life is a gift,

Like no other,

Part of the great chain,

Necessary and perfect,

And will leave the world a better place for having been in it.

Knowing that this is your wish and your intention and your blessing.

And so you can once again feel your breath in your belly,

Strong and steady,

Sending nourishment and strength with each beat of your heart to the treasured life at your center,

In the great company of all the women who have come before you and all the women who will come after you,

And feeling the soft,

Lush fullness of your body,

Grateful for the beauty and intelligence of its perfect design and the absolute miracle of it.

And so,

Feeling your hands and your feet,

You can once again open your eyes and come back into the room,

Knowing in a deep place that you are better for this.

And so you are.

Thank you.
