Overview:
Have your trusted partner or labour support guide you though
this meditation to promote a stronger connection to your pregnant body and the
baby you are going to give birth to. Find yourself a place of comfort and a
position you can stay in for at least half an hour. Make sure you are able to
stay awake, so don’t try this when you’re tired or restless. Cover yourself
with a warm blanket, or have one near by so that you don’t catch a chill. Place
your hands low on your belly so that you can feel the life growing within you.
Begin by relaxing slowly. From your toes and deep into the muscles of your
feet, let the tension drain out of you and away from you. Relax your calf
muscles, let your knees fall into a comfortable position. Feel your hip relax,
deep in their joints. Release muscle tension and pain… Relax your pelvis and
the muscles in your belly. The life within you is warm and secure and
protected. Relax your spine; relax your arms and your hands. Slip towards the
Earth Mother and feel the rhythmic pulse of warmth and energy that radiate from
your release of stress and negative emotions. Let all tension slip from your
shoulders, the back of your neck and the base of your head. Let your expression
become one of peace. Breathe slowly, deeply, in long even breaths.
(Pause)
Take slow, deep, even breaths. Take the air deeply into your body, and know that you are sharing it with the life that is growing inside of you. Deep within the core of your inner sight, visualize the powerful pulsing energy that is thriving within you. See white, pure, powerful energy well up from inside you to spread over you, to surround you. Become blanketed, cocooned in the beautiful peace and love of this energy. You are completely protected and safe here. Continue to take deep, even breaths while we walk this journey together.
Towards the time of the birth of your baby, you will become aware of the signs of your approaching labour. Your joints will loosen; the child in your belly will drop into a birthing position. In the last weeks and days of your pregnancy you will over see all of the details that are important to you and your baby. You will see where your baby will sleep, where you will bathe your baby… You will have everything ready for the arrival of your newest family member. There is peace and assurance in your preparations. There is calm in knowing the route of your birthing process.
When it is time for your baby to be brought into this world, you will know by the contractions of your muscles. There will be no stress or anxiety over these sensations; they are completely natural and safe. Breathe deeply, breathe evenly. Relax and sink into the rhythm of the Earth Mother, who is always aware of the cycle of Life. Take in the sensation of your muscles working under your skin. This rhythm is working on bringing your baby safely into your arms, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Let the tension seep out of your form, let the breaths of air you take expel any negative thoughts or worries. Trust in your body’s ability to do what comes naturally.
As the contractions begin to come closer together, feel the excitement and power within you. Your goals are about to be reached. Feel the muscles and joints in your hips widen as your baby slides lower into the birthing canal. With each ripple of effort, you are closer to holding your baby for the first time. Take deep, even breaths. See yourself comfortable and secure in the place where your baby is going to be born. See the faces of those that love and support you gathered around you. You are never alone, you are loved, and you are safe and warm. Everything is going perfectly.
Your pain is a release of tension, and through it you are stronger. Focus on the pain, see past it. Pain has no control or power over you. Your baby will be born through your strength and determination. With each breath you become stronger. Feel the constant beat of your heart, understand the pace and rhythm of all life.
Let time slow, stop and cease to exist. There is no pain here, only joy. Gather the power that is inside you, gather your energy, and push forth the brilliant life that you have helped create. See the moment of birth in your mind, hold your baby to you and know that you have accomplished exactly what you wanted to do. It has been your power that has made this all possible.
Slowly savour this vision within your own mind. There is power within what you will. You will make it so.
Breathe slowly in deep, even breaths. Bring back with you confidence, joy, and
assurance. You are safe, healthy, and whole. Gather your energy into you,
bring your brilliant white power back into your core, and keep it within you to
use as you will need it. This is the Life Force, and it is sacred. It will
give you the strength to work your will. Feel the Earth Mother’s rhythm. Feel
the beat as it brings you back… Slowly become awake and in the present time.
You are ready to bring New Life into this world. You are secure in your path,
and in your power. Be aware now, be free.
