This visualisation allows your body to relax deeply while the mind is able to connect with both inner strength and deep wisdom in preparation for birth. Repeating the following affirmations will allow the body, mind, and heart to open to the bliss and surrender of all birth experiences.

Transcript

Start by making yourself comfortable,

Either sitting or lying down.

Allow yourself to rest.

When you are ready,

Gently allow your eyes to close.

Let the eyelids soften.

Become aware of all the sounds around you and then gently turn your attention inside and bring your awareness to your breath.

Sensing and listening to the sound of each breath,

Noticing how your body moves,

How the chest rises and falls,

How the breath comes in and out,

Ebbs and flows in the body,

Just like the waves of the ocean as they come into the shore.

This time is for you,

For your health and happiness,

To connect with your inner self and to relax deeply,

To nourish,

Replenish and strengthen and to prepare consciously for the birth of your baby,

The birth of yourself as mother and father.

Begin to take a few deep yogic breaths in and out of your nose.

Listen to the sound of your breath through the back of the throat.

Feel the expansion of your belly,

Back and chest.

Notice the subtle effects of each breath in your body,

Mind.

These are the breaths you will take with each wave during the birth of your baby.

With each one you become more relaxed,

More centered,

More focused within.

Our breath is the true companion in life.

To breathe consciously is a gift we give to ourselves,

To life and to our babies.

And now gently allow your body to return to soft,

Gentle sleep breaths,

Where the body is hardly moving and only the lower chest is rising and falling.

In this state,

The perfect amount of oxygen and nourishment is being sent to every cell.

When the body is relaxed,

The breath becomes effortless.

When we allow our breath to be effortless,

Our bodies relax.

As I say,

The parts of your body simply allow your awareness to rest in those spaces.

There is nothing to do,

Just by sensing and being aware you can allow the body to relax,

To return to its natural blissful state in harmony with your baby.

Visualize and sense a golden light above the crown of your head and allow that light to flow down the body and into each space.

Moving gently down across your face,

Sensing your forehead,

Allowing it to soften,

To widen and expand.

Sense your cheeks,

Lips and jaw,

The throat and tongue,

Ears and scalp,

The back of your neck,

The front of your neck,

The whole head,

Neck,

Soft,

Warm,

Gently relaxed,

Filled with golden light.

Let your awareness move into your shoulders,

Down your upper arms,

Elbows,

Forearms,

To your palms and fingers resting in their natural curve.

Feeling your chest,

Softening the ribs,

The intercostal muscles in between the ribs,

Relaxing into the heart and lungs,

Moving and beating freely,

Relaxed and at ease in their natural rhythm.

Follow your awareness down your middle back and lower back,

Into your stomach,

All the internal organs,

Relaxing through and around the belly,

Your waist,

All the skin and muscles and ligaments around your baby resting in your womb.

Sense and relax into your hips,

From your sacrum down to your tailbone,

Around and through the pelvic floor muscles to the pubic bone.

Feel the whole of your pelvis and the whole of your belly softening and widening.

See inside your belly to your womb,

The uterus muscle remembering its three layers,

The outer layer gently squeezes,

The middle layer nourishes and replenishes,

The inner layer simply relaxes and opens.

See the cervix,

The neck and mouth of the womb.

If you are ready to birth then visualize the cervix softening,

Drawing up,

Becoming thinner and gently opening.

If that day of birth is a long way off then visualize your cervix sealed with the mucus plug supporting and protecting your baby.

Feel the tissues and fluids of the birth canal,

Your vaginas softening more and more with your awareness relaxing right through to the skin of the perineum,

From your crown to your fingers to your perineum filled with golden light.

Sense down the front thighs,

Back thighs,

Knees and shins,

Calves and heels,

Soles of the feet all the way to the toes,

Soft warm,

Gently relaxed.

Aware of your whole body,

Soft warm,

Gently relaxed,

Your whole body filled with golden light,

Continually pouring down gently out through the fingers and toes,

An infinite waterfall of golden light relaxing and washing through every cell in the body.

Connect for some time consciously with the miracle of life growing within your womb.

Wonder at how beautifully perfect and pure your child is,

How receptive,

Intelligent and peaceful.

So much has changed within you already by carrying this gift of life,

This consciousness that was created in love from your heart's longing,

Keep allowing changes to take place within your body,

Heart and mind,

Continue to embrace your child and your transformation into motherhood and fatherhood with ease and grace.

Imagine you are watching the ocean waves gently coming into the shore,

Lifting,

Curling and dissolving,

Building,

Peaking and disappearing,

Just like the surges of energy that move through your body during birth.

Imagine the vastness of the black night sky,

Its infinite beauty,

Feel the emptiness and openness of your mind,

See the sparkle of millions of stars and the fullness of a shining moon,

See and feel yourself holding your baby,

Feel the magic of this new life in your arms,

Watching their first breath,

Their clear eyes opening to meet you for the first time,

Allow yourself to see the joy,

To glimpse the beauty and to feel the bliss of having given birth to your baby.

Seeing now an open channel flowing through the core of your body,

From the top of your head to the opening of your yoni,

Connecting earth and sky,

As you watch your breath,

Feel your inhale gently flowing up through your body and your exhale gently washing back down,

Subtle and gentle up and down,

Energy continually moving through and around your body,

Softening,

Replenishing,

Gently expand your awareness around the whole of your body as though you are resting in a very large bubble of light,

A misty soft bubble of light,

Whatever color of light you see,

Feel every cell of the body inhaling and exhaling,

Opening and releasing,

Expanding and returning,

You are pure receptivity in harmony with life,

In harmony with your environment,

In birth and in life,

Watch the mind,

Thoughts,

Images,

Sensations,

Allow yourself to move beneath any destructive thoughts,

Any thoughts that no longer serve you,

Simply feel the relaxation and peace in the body,

Your mind can become an instrument of the body's wisdom,

The more we let go,

The more magical and wonderful life can be,

Allow your mind to move in harmony with the body's wisdom,

I am radiant,

I am open to the bliss of birth,

I trust my body,

I am completely calm and focused,

I move with the energy of birth when I feel,

I rest and sleep when I need,

I am rejuvenated and strong,

I breathe deeply,

I relax deeply,

I allow the ecstasy of birth to move in my body,

I trust nature and let go completely,

I am she,

Life is a mystery continually unfolding,

Birth is one part of your journey in life,

By letting go you are allowing life to move you,

The magic to unfold,

Gently draw your awareness back to your breath,

Breath is the bridge between body and mind,

The inner and the outer,

Feel yourself lying or sitting,

Knowing that you have everything you need to birth your baby inside of you,

Knowing that you can bring yourself back to this natural state anytime you choose,

Simply by closing your eyes and allowing your awareness to move back down through the body,

Gently sense from the soles of your feet up to the tip of your nose and take a deeper breath in and up through the body,

Lifting your energy with your breath,

Slowly moving into your fingertips and toes,

Aware of subtle sensations through the body,

Gently smile and stretch and come back when you are ready.

Thank you for this beautiful and wise body based meditation . I felt grounded and at the same time connected to the mystery of life. I will listen to this during labour.

Best birth meditation I’ve done so far! Thank you so much. Normally I don’t resonate with them as they feel quite unauthentic, but this was such a lovely and deeply relaxing experience that felt so genuine🙏
