Welcome to this guided meditation for birth affirmations and manifestations.
You can do this meditation at any stage of pregnancy when you are beginning to prepare yourself for the birthing process.
A moment full of balancing opposites,
Vulnerability and resilience,
Surrender and empowerment.
What keeps this dance of opposites in perfect balance is nature,
Our nature,
The wisdom of all.
We sometimes think of nature as something external to us,
But nature is at the very core of our existence.
We are nature.
Through our veins runs nature.
The air we breathe is nature and the way the lungs absorb and process the oxygen is nature.
Our DNA,
Our hormones,
Pregnancy and the birthing process is all nature.
Trusting its wisdom is trusting our own body.
Let's begin this meditation by grounding in the present moment.
Please sit or lay down in whatever position is comfortable for you.
Close your eyes and if it feels good,
Place your hands on your belly.
Feel the energetic exchange that is happening between your baby and you.
Feel the power and strength,
Peace and calm that emanates from the two of you,
The two of you who are truly one.
Your strength is your baby's strength and their strength is yours.
Your calm is your baby's calm and their calm is yours.
Visualize their perfect little body,
Comfy and warm,
With their peaceful closed eyes,
Their cute little nose,
Their tiny little hands with their perfect little fingers.
Visualize the moment in which you'll see their face for the first time and their eyes will focus on your eyes and your heart will melt with love.
And just before that moment,
Visualize your body in the most ancient and natural process of birthing,
Birthing in power.
During the moment of labor,
Your body will get a hold of you,
Trust it,
Surrender to it,
Surrender to every sensation you feel.
Your body knows exactly what to do.
Every cell in your body has ancient knowledge imprinted on it.
Your mother birthed you just like this,
Just as your mother's mother birthed her and your grandmother's mother birthed your grandmother.
And just like that,
You're part of a chain of birthing mothers dating back millennia.
All the experiences and knowledge of thousands and even millions of mothers is stored in your DNA,
In your bloodstream.
When the moment comes,
Give yourself to them.
Picture now all of these mothers you have surrounding you,
Holding you.
They will guide you through every sensation and movement.
Every single one of them has given birth just like this and went through what you're going through.
Trust them.
Trust your body.
Trust nature.
Trust your sensations and surrender to them.
Melt into each one of them,
One at a time,
Until there are no more.
Now let's repeat a couple of birth affirmations.
I will say it first and then you can repeat it out loud or in your mind.
I surrender and trust in the wisdom of my body.
I am powerful.
My body is powerful.
My baby is powerful.
My body knows exactly what to do.
I release all resistance.
I breathe.
I open.
I allow.
I am safe.
I am held.
I am guided.
Birth flows through me as nature intended.
And now you can make up your own affirmation and repeat it to yourself.
Let's now bring back our mind and consciousness to the present moment.
Picture the position in which you are resting.
Let's inhale and exhale together to close this meditation.
Inhale full of presence,
Visualizing the life-giving oxygen filling every corner of your body and enveloping your baby.
And exhale full of surrender.
Release and let go to make space for your next breath.
Keep breathing at your own pace.
May the rest of the day and the rest of your pregnancy be filled with power and peace.
Thank you for meditating with me.
