Before You Were Born

"Before you were conceived I wanted you. Before you were born I loved you. Before you were here an hour I would give my life for you This is the miracle of life."

~ Maureen Hawkins

 

I love this quote, it is one of my favorites because it is so true. 

 

Whether you are expecting your first or your fourth, you can create an incredible bond with your baby, simply by intent. 

Take a moment each day to connect with your baby. Talk to your baby about how you are feeling, and the excitement you are feeling. Picture your baby (preferably in a head down, facing your back position...this is the best position for baby to be born in)

Take the time to create that bond. Sitting in quiet meditation, ask your baby what s/he needs. Being in-tune with your baby is one of the best ways to make sure you providing them with what they need. This bond will carry over into the birth process. You will be so connected that you will instinctively know the best positions to be in to birth your baby easily. 

Daily mother/child meditations are so peaceful and wonderful. During my first pregnancy, I found it to be some of the most relaxing times to just sit and BE with my baby. 

With my second, it had the added bonus of being some of the best quiet time I had all day. But I loved that I was able to really connect to the beautiful child I was growing within me. 

This week, spend a moment to either connect with a child, or connect with yourself. The benefits of such self connection will undoubtedly increase your awareness of your purpose for being here.
