Transcript

This is a short meditation to connect with the baby growing in your body.

Before beginning,

We set a clear intention for this connection.

Not having expectations on how it looks or how it feels,

But whatever intention comes to your heart right now when you think about connecting with this soul.

Whatever your intention is,

Taking a few breaths in whatever way feels good right now.

You might want to get settled laying down on your side,

Sitting up,

Or absolutely whatever feels right in your body right now.

First,

Noticing,

Just having awareness around what you feel in your body.

Pregnancy can bring so many changes,

So many new sensations.

Just noticing if you feel tightness,

Openness,

Places that are bothering you,

Places that feel really good and relaxed in your body.

Just doing a quick body scan while you're breathing.

Simply bringing attention to whatever needs attention,

Allowing for emotions,

Feelings to surface as well as they often do in pregnancy.

Noticing where or how you feel these things arising.

Without judgment,

Just taking note,

How do you feel in your body right now?

We're going to settle in first.

We've settled into our space and now taking some more intentional breaths.

Noticing where your breath might begin,

Where it is right now.

Often we breathe into our chest,

But bringing the breath,

Especially when pregnant,

Down,

Down into our solar plexus and an even deeper breath if possible into our bellies,

Into our womb space where the baby resides.

Noticing if it feels different or unusual or maybe familiar to breathe into this space and to fill up your womb with this breath.

We bring our breath and our awareness into our wombs and even deeper,

Even lower into the earth and out the other side as if we are growing roots.

And feeling this breath,

Feeling our grounded,

Stable energy rooting us into the earth,

Feeling close to her,

Feeling this stillness,

Feeling this connection with the earth,

Bringing our awareness once again to this beautiful womb space.

Noticing how the breath feels,

Where it moves,

How it flows,

What the texture of the breath is in this space.

And seeing with our mind's eye whatever comes forward,

Colors,

Textures,

Vibrations,

This expansive womb space that is now filled with life.

We notice that there is a beautiful placenta attached to this uterus.

And we bring our focus there and our breath to this amazing vital organ that we have created.

And it is so vibrant.

It is full of light and life,

Beautiful blood flow,

Amazing red,

Ruby color.

And as we bring our breath there,

We notice that the placenta receives even more love,

Even more oxygen from our breath and from our attention there.

Attached to this beautiful placenta is an amazing umbilical cord.

There is a vibrant,

Bountiful blood flow from this placenta into the cord.

You can see its amazing bluish color pulsing through the white.

And this beautiful blood flow is pumping from the placenta,

From your womb,

Through the cord in all its glory,

Pumping life and love into this beautiful baby.

You see your little one in whatever detail you're able.

Her heart is beating,

Her lungs are pumping,

Her lungs are pumping,

Her lungs are pumping.

You see her in whatever detail you're able.

Perhaps you see a face.

Perhaps you see the outline of this little body,

Lines with light,

Maybe of a specific color.

And you feel and see the pulsation of life coming from this placenta with life.

You might notice that there's a heart beating.

You might notice that this baby is wiggling or moving.

You are aware of images,

Colors,

Thoughts,

Phrases,

Ideas,

Any communication that seems to come while you simply watch.

You watch your body feed this beautiful baby you have grown.

The entire ecosystem perfect,

Pulsing with life and vitality and health.

And you feel the warmness and the beauty of this in your womb.

You continue to bring breath and love and attention to this baby,

To your placenta.

And you simply listen.

Notice what you're feeling.

Notice what you see.

What does this baby have to say?

What message does your womb or your placenta or your baby or all three have for you today?

Take your attention for a moment into your heart space now.

So bringing the breath into your lungs and imagining your beautiful heart of whatever color,

Of whatever texture and vibration,

Just a brilliant,

Shining heart.

Breathe into the space where you need to.

Perhaps this is more in your back.

Perhaps there needs to be more space in the front or under or above your heart.

Just simply take a moment and feel into this heart space and what you need to do to expand,

Remaining connected to your womb.

Feel the love in your heart.

Feel your excitement and maybe your nervousness,

Your devotion,

Your desire to connect to this baby.

And feel these feelings swell in your heart,

Making it even more full and more full and more expansive and bringing that love,

Bringing that heart force,

That heart force that we know as mothers,

That breath now down into your womb space,

Reacquainting yourself again with this beautiful baby,

With everything that flows there,

With gratitude for the connections that have already been made and simply infusing this space with even more love and more light.

And as you bring this breath down into your womb,

Notice once again where you can expand,

What it feels like,

What visions or words or sensations come as you infuse your womb with even more love and devotion.

Noticing how you feel,

Noticing what response,

If any,

Your baby gives you.

And simply sitting in the bliss of this amazing connection,

Soul to soul,

That you have.

Knowing that at any time,

At any time you'd love to connect,

At any time you would like a message,

At any time you want to check on your baby,

This is the way in.

There is no external tool,

Technology or force that can know more than you know in these moments.

Feeling this connection that cannot be broken,

Knowing that this connection can be strengthened if you wish and if you would like that,

Simply with intention and practice.

Feeling your baby in this way,

Knowing that you can connect with your baby in many ways and that it is all available to you right here.

Last,

Giving gratitude not only for this little human growing within,

Not only for this beautiful placenta and cord and blood flow which keeps this baby alive,

But connecting with your baby alive.

The gratitude for your soul that has called this baby in.

Gratitude for your body,

Which knows how to do this every step of the way without a manual.

Gratitude for the miracle that is life within.

And feeling this gratitude and love in your heart and womb,

You may slowly come back as it feels right and in your own time,

Taking your time to wiggle your fingers and toes to remain quiet and reflective and maybe take a nap for as long as you need to.

Blessed be.
