Transcript

This is a meditation to help you feel calm and focused during your IVF egg retrieval.

Begin by finding a comfortable position in which to sit either on the floor or in a chair.

Close your eyes and take some deep breaths,

Allowing your mind and body to relax.

Follow the natural rhythm of your breath.

As you breathe in,

Imagine a ferris wheel and the smooth and consistent motion of the wheel.

Visualize yourself looking out onto an expansive landscape or beautiful sunset as you savor this moment of stillness.

As you exhale,

Imagine yourself lowering slowly down the wheel until you finally reach the bottom again.

With each inhale and exhale,

Feel yourself rising and descending on this imaginary ride,

Pushing away any thoughts or worries while allowing your body and mind to relax further and further with each breath.

Match the rhythm of your inhale with the rhythm of your exhale until you are in a mirrored and relaxing cadence.

Now bring your attention and your awareness to your body and notice the sensations that you are feeling.

Picture a brilliant white light surrounding you and all of those involved in the egg retrieval process.

This light being this light is like a shield that will protect you from any worry that could arise during this time.

It is an embodiment of love and positivity,

So it is important to focus on the power of this light each moment during the procedure.

As you breathe,

Inhale this bright white energy into your body and feel it comforting every part of your being.

Imagine that as you exhale,

This healing energy is released into your surroundings and is shared with everyone else in the room.

Allow yourself to settle into this peaceful state,

Feeling a sense of security and support from the light that surrounds you.

Allow yourself to feel calm.

Continue to be present in this moment,

Focusing on the beautiful energy of this white light and allowing it to embellish.

Feel how it comforts every part of you.

No space for anything other than love and positivity is when you're ready.

Grateful for the healing power of this brilliant white light,

The wonderful relaxation that you now feel and allow yourself to be present in this moment.

Take some time to write down any thoughts or feelings that may have arisen for further reflection at a later time.

May peace and courage fill your heart today as you go forward towards success.
