Keep your breathing slow and steady. Breathing in for three, two, one and out 432 and one we’re going to begin allowing some conscious thoughts to flow through the mind. Try not to get caught up in them. Simply allow one to float into your awareness and simply be conscious of it. These thoughts returned so slowly that you have time to re examine them to notice where they come from, and to feel the effect that they have on your body.

I want you to allow only thoughts about your pregnancy your baby, birth or motherhood, enter. When is the first thing that comes to mind in this space for you. Allow your focus mind to examine what fears you have around birth or pregnancy or motherhood. If nothing comes up, that’s perfectly fine. Just sit in the space with awareness. Some of us will have many fears that arise, others will at certain times. So if nothing comes up for you today, simply continue breathing deeply rather than getting caught up in the conscious thinking mind.

If you are beginning to focus on fears around your baby or birth, simply observe the fear at first. Give internal words to this fear. Name it. What is the fear about in particular? Notice where you feel this feeling or emotion in your body? does it create tension in a particular body part? What physical reaction Do you have to this thought or fear? Is it heavy or light? tight or difficult to catch? How does this feel make your body feel? Wherever you’re feeling this fear, thought or emotion. I want you to draw it into your heart space. Feel it deeply in your heart and acknowledge that this Fear is as real as any other.

And then give it your blessing to leave as you no longer need to hold on to this fear. Breathe in deeply for three, two, one and extend the exhale for as long as you can. Imagining the feeling of this fear in your heart space, leaving with the breath.
