Transcript
Welcome to this moment right now where we will practice together,
Where you will practice with your baby.
Before we begin,
Let's set an intention for this practice.
Would you like to release tension,
To nurture yourself and your baby,
To increase your health and vitality?
It's okay to go with the first thing that pops into your mind.
Sometimes we have that inkling of,
Oh,
And then we suppress it thinking,
No,
I should choose this.
Go with that first inkling,
That thing that you really wanted to say.
Now once you have decided,
State it out loud or perhaps just in your head,
This is my time to.
.
.
And state your intention,
And everything else can wait.
Everything else can wait.
As you settle in to a comfortable position,
Moving and adjusting your body as needed.
Release your breathing and begin to feel your breath move through your body,
Feeling the sensations that let you know you are breathing.
And with each exhale,
Release whatever you no longer need,
Whatever may stand in your way from reaching your intention,
Creating more and more space within your body as you release now.
If you notice sensations or discomforts in your body,
Allow them to come to the forefront of your mind and hold them in your awareness and breathe into the sensations,
Allowing the in-breath to nourish that part of your body,
That part of you that is asking to be heard and soothed.
As you breathe in,
Breathe in whatever you need to release the discomfort and feel better now.
And breathing out all that you need to release.
Feeling to breathe in this way at your own pace,
Nourish,
Release.
Good.
And now noticing your whole body breathe and sensing the air moving all the way from your toes up through to the top of your head,
A flowing gentle movement,
Resting your body with each breath,
Nourishing your body with each breath,
Releasing with each exhale.
We tend to focus on that inhale,
Paying more attention to it.
See what changes within you when you focus on the exhale.
Living in the exhale,
Letting go,
Releasing each and every moment,
Which you no longer need.
And when you get to the bottom of the exhale,
Automatically you inhale everything you need.
As we continue to deepen our relaxation,
Your breathing will continue to slow to that just right pace for you to experience deep relaxation now.
Your heart rate will slow to the perfect resting heart rate.
As your blood pressure settles into the perfect level for health,
For your body and your baby,
Perhaps you are ready to go deeper into relaxation now.
So imagine that as you rest,
Perhaps the sensation of drifting and floating or floating and drifting or perhaps a sensation of sinking down deeper.
However you are experiencing relaxation,
Imagine this great orb above your head filled with a healing elixir or healing light.
Imagine that orb,
That beautiful orb above you is everything you need for health,
Wellness,
Balance and vitality.
Perhaps you even feel grateful to be able to receive all that you need in this moment.
Now imagining that a little hole opens in the bottom of that orb and a steady yet gentle stream,
A small stream comes right from that small hole right down into the top of your head.
And as it touches your head,
You feel a wave of relaxation as that gentle,
Nourishing elixir of life begins to flow down into your head,
Filling up the whole top of your head,
Nourishing each and every tissue,
Each and every bone,
Each and every fiber,
Nourishing right down into each and every cell.
And as it does so,
Releasing,
Relaxing and healing each part of your body.
So as it passes down through the top of your head,
Noticing your forehead relax more and more fully,
Smoothing out all of the lines in your forehead,
All of the muscles surrounding your skull,
Resting and nourishing your brain as it moves down further through your head,
Past your eyes,
Straight through to the back of your head,
All the way down past your nose,
Down over your jaw,
Releasing your jaw with deep relaxation as if your jaw is falling to the floor,
Releasing your tongue as it continues to flow downward,
Nourishing each and every tissue,
Each and every bone,
Each and every fiber,
Each and every cell filling up with that healing,
Nourishing elixir of life,
Spreading down into your neck,
Releasing your neck completely,
Every tissue,
Every bone,
Every fiber,
Every cell being nourished with this healing elixir as your neck releases completely,
Running down into your shoulders as your shoulders sink further down into your frame,
Further down into what you are resting on as your shoulders release completely.
And that elixir fills each and every fiber,
Each and every tissue,
Each and every bone,
Each and every cell getting nourished,
Healed with this magical elixir of life now flowing down your upper back,
Releasing and letting go,
All tension evaporates as this healing elixir of life fills up your upper back,
Down your middle back,
Down all the way to your lower back,
Filling each and every tissue,
Each and every bone,
Each and every fiber,
Each and every cell filling your whole back up with this nourishing elixir of life,
Allowing more of it to go where it is needed so that you can have perfect health and wellness and vitality now.
Now that nourishing elixir begins to flow down through your chest,
Filling your heart up with love and gratitude,
All the things that nourish our hearts,
Releasing any heavy burdens,
Allowing them to melt away as this healing elixir fills each and every tissue,
Each and every bone,
Each and every cell as it nourishes and heals your whole chest,
Flowing down into the abdomen now,
Filling up the whole abdomen completely,
Nourishing all of your internal organs,
Nourishing baby with all of these feel good hormones and health and wellness,
Nourishing your baby with everything your baby needs,
Nourishing your internal organs with everything your internal organs need,
Filling up your whole abdomen,
Each and every tissue,
Each and every bone,
Each and every fiber,
Each and every cell is filling up with this magical elixir of life,
Nourishing and healing your whole abdomen and baby for perfect health and vitality.
And now the magical elixir of life is flowing down through your head and neck and shoulders,
Chest and abdomen and it flows down from your shoulders,
Down through your arms,
All the way through your arms,
Right out through your hands as your arms are filled up completely,
With this healing,
Soothing,
Nourishing,
Magical elixir of life,
Each and every tissue,
Each and every bone,
Each and every fiber,
Each and every cell is filling up with this magical elixir of life as your arms are completely relaxed and nourished,
All the way through your hands are completely relaxed and nourished.
Now this magical elixir is flowing down through the top of our heads,
Spreading down through our heads and necks,
Cross our shoulders and down our upper,
Middle and lower back,
All the way down our chest and abdomen,
All the way down our arms,
All the way through to our hands and now it is flowing down across our hips and bottom,
Down through our whole pelvis as our pelvis is nourished with this healing,
Magical elixir of life that is filling up each and every tissue,
Each and every bone,
Each and every fiber,
Each and every cell is filling up with this magical elixir of life until your pelvis is completely relaxed,
Nourished in perfect balance and harmony right now,
As that magical elixir of life flows down through your legs,
Across your thighs,
Your hamstrings,
Down through your knees,
Down through your shins and calves,
All the way down through your ankle,
All the way out through your feet,
As this magical elixir of life nourishes and heals each and every tissue,
Each and every bone,
Each and every fiber,
Each and every cell is filling up with this nourishing,
Healing,
Magical elixir of life so that your legs and feet are completely relaxed,
Nourished,
Strong.
Now sensing this elixir coming down through your head,
Down through your whole entire body,
Out your hands and feet,
This continuous flow of all the elixir that you need,
It's limitless.
You always have all that you need for balance,
Wellness,
Health,
And vitality flowing through you as you relax more and more fully,
Taking this moment to fully achieve your intention and however you are experiencing that now is the right way to experience it now.
And it might not be what you expected,
But your body and mind working in harmony give you exactly what you need in this moment.
You are incredible.
You are strong.
You nourish your body,
Your mind,
And your spirit.
And as you do so,
You nourish and care for your baby in body,
Mind,
And spirit because you are two separate beings and yet connected as one.
And as you are taking care of yourself with nourishing foods,
Nourishing thoughts,
Nourishing actions,
And nourishing speech,
You are in the act of creation,
A being of light,
A being of pure radiant light,
Life,
And love.
Just taking a moment now to think of one thing you can do today,
Tomorrow,
In the coming days to care for yourself and your baby,
To make good choices because once we make healthy and nourishing choices,
We find that it was so much easier than we thought.
And the more healthy,
Nourishing things you do for yourself and your baby,
The more healthy and nourishing things you do.
So continue down your great path moving forward each and every day because you are so much more than you think.
Bringing you peace,
Love,
Joy,
And grace.
