Pregnancy Meditation Techniques
·
Deep belly meditation
To perform this meditation practice, you need to place your hands on
your belly. Then, you need to observe the sensations under your hands. See how
do you feel? Try to breathe slowly in and out. If you have any thoughts, then
let them float away.
Try to do this practice for five minutes each day, then you should
gradually try to add more time each week.
- The
mantra of your life!
Be aware that your words have much power in them. When you utter
something, you trust in it. It tends to have a significant impact on the
consciousness and nervous system. Practice some positive and strong
affirmations to help you through these difficult times.
Meditation Techniques for Labor
- Visualization
of a “wave.”
Visualizing yourself as a wave can actually lower down the intensity of
pain. Visualization is meditation which is combined with mental imagery, which
is a useful tool to have when in labor.
You should try to see each contraction you experience as a wave in the
ocean. See it going on the peak and low points.
- “Blossoming
Lotus” technique
The Lotus flower symbolizes piousness and spirituality. You should
visualize your cervix as a blossoming lotus flower. And chant “open, open,
open.”
- Focus
on “Third eye.”
You should become aware of the third eye between the spaces of your
brows. This third eye affects the regulation of wake-sleep patterns and the
energy levels you have. So during your labor time, relax your muscles by
focusing on this eye.
Meditation Affirmations for Daily Life
- Ups
and downs: Ups and downs are part of pregnancy.
Sometimes you will conquer all the lows beautifully. Other times you would
feel like giving up. So the journey of pregnancy is nothing less than
stepping into the ocean. So while you experience all these ups and downs,
utter this mantra.
Affirmation: I can very well go with the
flow.
- Let’s
create a miracle:
Pregnancy is actually a wonderful experience when you realize that
every part of your child- like lungs, heart, fingers, eyelashes develop inside

is essential too!

in your pregnancy journey.

without compromising my friendship.

advice
