Pregnancy can be filled with a mixture of emotion. You might move from excited to anxious to hopeful and terrified; all in the space of a few minutes. If you’ve previously had negative experiences of pregnancy, lost a baby, or it’s taken a really long time to get here - you might be feeling even more overwhelmed by the rollercoaster of emotions.
This guided meditation uses affirmations and mantra to help you feel more grounded in your body. We set the intention to rewire those internal thoughts from “I’m scared” to “I’m safe” and allow the emotions to follow. As I say the affirmations you might like to repeat them silently to yourself or just let the sound resonate in your body.
Towards the end of this meditation we’ll repeat the sanskrit mantra “Om Namay Shivaya” which means “I bow down to Shiva” or “I bow down to the spirit within myself”. This mantra is about knowing and understanding our inner or higher self. Through practicing this mantra we work to shift those
negative thoughts and lean into trusting the strength of our inner knowing.
Again, you can repeat the mantra with me or just let the sound vibrate in your body.

Meditation Script -
Start by making yourself comfortable in either a seated of lying position. Support your body with pillows or blankets so that you can fully relax and allow your focus to shift from awareness of the physical body to an awareness of the emotional, mental and energetic bodies.
Notice how your body feels. Can you make yourself 10% more comfortable. Let yourself have another little wriggle, take a deep breath and then let yourself sink into this position. Feel your limbs become heavy and sinking into the floor and the supports beneath you.
Bring awareness to your breath. First by just following the natural rhythm. Notice as you breathe in. And notice as you breathe out. In and out. In and out.
Start extending the breath now. Can you breathe in for a few seconds longer. Can you lengthen your exhale a little bit more. Notice where the breath moves in your body as you breathe deeply with me.
Breathing in. And breathing out. Breathing in and breathing out.
Let the rocking of your breath soothe you into a state of deep relaxation. Feel your muscles sighing with relief as you rest and breathe.
Let your body remain at rest as you listen to the affirmations and mantra now. Let your awareness shift effortlessly to these words as I say them.
Allow yourself to feel the vibrations of these words and perhaps any emotions that rise as you hear them. There is no right or wrong way to experience this meditation.
Just allow yourself to be present as you listen.
