What do you imagine your days will look like? What do you imagine yourself doing? Where do you spend time with? Where do you go? What challenges do you think you face in your day to day life with a baby? What support will you have in from home? What expectations do you have about life with a baby?

Let whatever images you have about motherhood play out in your head. Don’t try to control them. Simply explore the picture of motherhood that your mind creates. Let your inner knowing explore these images without judgment. simply observe.

Notice how these images feel in your body. Do they feel calm, settle, nurturing, or perhaps stressful, overwhelming and true. Explore the emotions surrounding your ideas of what motherhood will be like for you. Allow this calm, clear, subconscious mind of yours to explore these mental images and emotions. Try not to judge them. Try not to change them. You may be surprised by what comes up. You may try to judge that it’s too idealistic. Or perhaps start to see for the first time exactly how idealistic your ideas are. Try not to get involved in the thinking process about these images. simply observe.

Allow your unconscious beliefs and ideas around motherhood to surface allow them to reveal themselves to you without fear of judgment or interrogation. Allow your inner truth to reveal itself. Stay in this space of visualization for as long as you need.

When you’re ready to start returning to your conscious mind. Start by bringing your awareness back to the body. Breathe into the spaces that feel heavy and lethargic and watch as the energy returns with the breath. Take your own time to come fully back into the body to end this meditation. You may like to find a pen and paper now. Write down the images and ideas that were revealed to you about motherhood by your subconscious. Use these images to evaluate how you believe this will match up to your reality and how you can ensure those important people in your life are on the same page as you. You use these images to create the support network you need to have the motherhood journey that you imagine or evaluate which images and beliefs perhaps need changing in order to allow yourself to fully surrender into this motherhood journey.
