Meditations and Affirmations
Affirmations-an affirmation is a technique to
manifest desires in your life. You repeat them
as often as you can. Even if you aren't feeling
good that day, to tell yourself you are feeling
good will help bring you into the state you desire.
It helps to say them out loud. Here are some that
I find helpful:
- I am feeling stronger everyday.
- My child will be raised to be a happy
and well-adjusted adult
- I am more than capable of succesfully raising
my child without the father
Meditation-
is an excellent way to clear your mind of clutter.
It can help you make important decisions, as well as
calm your nerves. It's important to try and meditate
every day. 10 minutes is all you need. There are many
different methods of meditation. I find this one the
easiest for me.
- Find yourself a quiet place if you can. Shut the
door and light a candle if you'd like.
- Sit in silence on a chair with your feet
planted firmly on the ground and your hands in
your lap, palms facing up. You may also try sitting
on a pillow on the floor. Just get comfortable.
- Start by breathing
- Inhale slowly through your nose and let your chest
fill up with air
- Exhale slowly though your mouth
- Concentrate on your breath
- If something distracts you, acknowlege it's there
then continue you're breathing
- Since you are pregnant, If you become uncomfortable,
take a moment to readjust
- Continue with your slow breaths
- If your mind wanders (which it will) just go back
to thinking of your breaths
- imagine yourself surrounded with white light
- Continue your slow breaths
- Imagine the white light as healing light- imagine
yourself filled with the starting from the top of
your head to the tips of your toes
- Continue your slow breaths
- Sit for as long as you can concentrating on
your breath
- When you are finished, say a silent prayer if
you wish - I like to offer peacy
help to buy a guided meditation tape. These are
very useful and VERY relaxing.
