So let's begin by settling into a comfortable position.
Maybe lying in bed.
Or resting softly on a cushion.
And let yourself feel supported by the surface beneath you.
Adjust your body in any way that invites comfort.
And when you're ready.
Softly close your eyes or just lower your gaze.
And bring your awareness to your breath.
Feel your breath arriving,
Then releasing.
And just flowing naturally.
There is no need to change anything.
Simply notice the breath as it nourishes you and your baby.
Slow and steady.
Let your shoulders soften and melt away from your ears.
Your jaw relax.
And your belly is softened with every inhale and each exhale.
And take one more full breath in.
And then let it all go.
We're now going to move into our affirmations.
So I'll guide you through each one slowly.
And after I speak the statement,
Just take a moment to say it gently to yourself out loud or silently in your mind.
Letting the words settle into your body and heart.
I honor the way my body has carried me through this day.
I give myself permission to rest completely tonight.
My body and baby are safe and nurtured throughout the night.
I let go of worry.
And let my mind be filled with calm thoughts.
Tonight,
I will be gentle with myself.
I deserve nourishment,
Softness and deep rest.
My baby and I are supported and protected in sleep.
I trust my body's wisdom.
I am enough,
Exactly as I am right now.
Tonight my baby and I rest peacefully together.
And together,
We'll take a slow,
Nourishing breath in.
And a long exhale out.
Resting here for a moment.
Feeling the quiet and support in your body and breath.
Just let the words settle.
Let the peace you have created stay with you through the night.
And then when you're ready.
Soften your awareness into stillness.
And carry this sense of calm and care with you into your rest tonight.
Good night,
And thank you for ending your day with me.
You're doing an incredible job.
