Welcome to Michelle's Meditation Sanctuary.
You are listening to Pregnancy Meditation and Calming Affirmations for Expecting Mothers.
I'm Michelle and I'm so glad you're here.
This time is for you to nurture yourself and embrace a positive mindset as you journey through your pregnancy.
While you listen,
You can think of me as a gentle guide and supportive friend during this time of transformation.
I'm here to offer encouragement and positive affirmations to nurture your spirit as you connect with the incredible life growing within.
You may elect to listen to this during the day or use it before bedtime if you wish to set the tone for a night of sleep.
This meditation is fluid and easy to adapt to what works best for you.
You are experiencing a profound transformation,
A beautiful and sometimes challenging shift.
Your body is changing,
Moment to moment,
Breath to breath,
And these changes may sometimes feel intense and overwhelming.
Know that it is perfectly common to feel a wide range of emotions,
But your experience is still very much unique to you,
And you know yourself better than anyone.
So trust that inner voice that tells you all will be okay.
Trust my voice as I tell you,
You've got this.
Even when you question if you do.
Now it's a time to mother yourself,
So let's hold the space for you and all your feelings and needs.
The more you take care of yourself throughout this lifelong relationship between you and your child,
The better life will be for both of you.
This meditation is a sanctuary you can return to whenever things feel difficult or whenever you want to center yourself.
And imagine the best for you and your baby.
Now more than ever,
You need and deserve these gentle pauses to tend to yourself.
Let us now take a moment to settle and breathe.
Find a position that helps you get as comfortable as you can right now,
Whether you are seated,
Lying down,
Or nestled amongst pillows.
Know that you are safe and held here.
Be kind to yourself.
Be patient with your body.
Gently close your eyes if you haven't already.
As you do,
Imagine a warm,
Rose-gold light surrounding you,
A beacon of peace.
Within this sanctuary,
Feel this light infuse you with warmth and calm,
Representing the strength and love you carry within.
A radiant glow that connects you with your baby.
You may visualize this light whenever you wish to feel at peace and reconnected with what matters most,
Your state of mind and health.
Take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Let out a sigh of gratitude for this moment just for you.
Continue to inhale and exhale slowly,
Savoring each breath of life as your awareness shifts to your body with so many changes coming so fast.
Parts of your body may be carrying more tension.
Your body is working harder than ever before,
Supporting the life of another.
So give it the space and time to let everything go.
Feel your forehead soften,
Your jaw unclench,
Your shoulders relax,
Heavy and warm.
Sinking effortlessly away from your ears,
With each breath,
The tension melts from your arms,
Your hands,
Your fingers.
Your chest rises and falls in a steady,
Easy rhythm,
Mirroring the gentle flow of each conscious breath.
Your legs grow heavier,
Your feet resting fully,
Surrendering to the support beneath you.
You may place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly,
Once more feeling this vital connection of love.
Surrounded in these gentle,
Rose-gold waves of undulating light,
Feel yourself becoming lighter.
As you journey through motherhood,
You get a special opportunity to pay attention to all the softness you will share.
The softness of a baby blanket freshly laundered,
The soft skin of a newborn,
The soft melody of a lullaby,
And the soft gaze of your baby's eyes.
The delicate,
Soft touch of tiny fingers,
The soft coos of contentment,
And the soft embrace when you hold your little one.
Even when hard moments arise,
Softness is there,
A gentle reminder of the love that surrounds you.
You deserve the softness,
And as you embrace it,
You find yourself opening to all the gentle wonders of your pregnancy.
In the state of tenderness,
Your heart opens,
And you discover a wellspring of inner strength to further empower this strength.
Let's move into a series of positive affirmations,
Repeating each one silently after me.
Feel them flow through you,
And let your mind catch and hold onto the ones that work best for you right now.
I am filled with a love that is boundless and balanced for myself and my baby.
I am worthy of the same gentle care and love that I give my baby.
I honor my body,
Recognizing its strength and wisdom in this life-changing journey.
My womb is a peaceful and nurturing safe haven.
I trust my maternal instincts,
Knowing they guide me.
With clarity and love,
I am a powerful creator,
Bringing forth new life with love and hope.
I release any fear or doubt,
Replacing them with trust and confidence.
I see myself as a radiant mother,
Glowing with strength and compassion.
I prioritize my peace and share the serenity with my baby.
I surrender to this miraculous process with awe and gratitude.
I am enough for my baby,
And my love is boundless.
I trust my intuition and listen to my inner voice,
Knowing it comes from deep wisdom.
I feel the bond between me and my child.
My baby and I are connected,
And each day I allow myself moments to cherish the beauty of this connection.
I nourish myself and my baby with love and care.
I am growing new life,
And with it comes personal growth that enriches my life.
I embrace motherhood,
Learning as I go with self-compassion.
My body is a safe and nurturing sanctuary for my growing baby.
I trust my body's innate wisdom to guide this remarkable journey.
My pregnant body is beautiful.
I allow myself to slow down and fully enjoy the heartwarming moments that will continue to unfold.
I welcome softness and slow down when needed.
I deserve peace and deep rest.
I deserve time for myself.
I surrender to this experience with trust and hope.
I envision a safe and healthy delivery.
I appreciate my body for all it has done and trust all that it will continue to do.
Take a deep inhale here and linger in your exhale.
Notice any subtle shifts in your body and in your mind.
Perhaps you feel a deeper sense of calm,
A gentle peace radiating from within.
As you continue to breathe,
Invite some gentle movement into your fingers and toes,
A soft awakening.
And slowly,
If you feel ready,
You may open your eyes.
Carry this sense of peace and strength with you throughout your pregnancy.
Remember,
You are supported,
You are strong,
And you are doing an incredible job.
You are creating the safe haven for yourself that your baby will cherish and gravitate towards throughout a lifetime.
Your child is so lucky to have you.
May the sanctuary of calm and connection stay with you,
Dear mama,
And may you remember your vitality,
That you are loved,
And you are doing your very best and doing it well.
Once again,
This is Michelle and I thank you for letting me be part of your day.
