Are You Connecting?

It's never too late to start connecting with yourself and your unborn baby. Start this practice now; it's great for pregnancy, birth and beyond!

There is a lot going on. Time to just be still probably seems non-existent, especially if you already have other children demanding your attention or you are still working and putting your energy into making sure you are still delivering at work.

But as important as it is to be there for everyone else and to keep up your work commitments, it is just as (if not more) important to take time out for YOU. You and your baby growing inside of you.

When you put life on pause and zone out the noise of everyday tasks you begin to connect with yourself and your baby on another level. Did you know you can ask your subconscious questions? if you have questions or concerns take the time to sit with yourself and simply ask your subconscious to show you the answers. When you are truly connected with your inner being you can find a power and strength you did not know you had. But we all have it, the problem is we do not give ourselves the time and grace to be at one with our thoughts.

We give our time and energy to everyone but ourselves why is that?

Your baby hears when you speak and feels what you feel. Why not take some time to send an abundance of positive energy to your baby, speak beautiful words of life and love. Spend some time feeling your baby’s every movement. This is a feeling only you can truly feel. Cherish it, tune in to it. Everything else can wait there is nothing more important than this moment right now.

If you do not like the thought of complete silence then go ahead and put on some gentle music in the background but don’t get too distracted, your baby is enjoying connecting with you.

What thoughts come to mind when you embrace this moment?

Write it down in a journal, like a snapshot of the things a camera can’t see.

As part of the Black Mamas Birth Village membership, I send a printed pregnancy journal to every mama that joins so they can reflect on special moments of connection with themselves and their unborn babies.
