Sit in a comfortable position with your eyes closed. Then hold on to your stomach and take a deep breath slowly, then throw your mouth slowly. Do this soothing thing for five to ten minutes. Guaranteed thoughts of the mother will be more light than usual.
In addition to sitting, you can also try this meditation while lying with the position of the hand on the abdomen or on the left-right side of the body.
Second, muscle relaxation.
If you often have difficulty sleeping during pregnancy, this one technique you can do regularly. It may take days or weeks (or even more) to learn and master it. This meditation technique proves to be more useful during your pregnancy.
Lie down on the floor in a comfortable position. Make sure the spine and back are well supported, and use a pillow if you feel the need. Feel what parts of the body feel tense, then slowly focus your mind on the body area, and swing slowly.
Suppose your feet are feeling tense. You can lift your feet slowly while asking for help husband to lift it. Then lower the leg, and raise it back-until you feel the legs are relaxed enough.
This muscle relaxation technique is usually also known as progressive relaxation teknin in which you relax your body parts so that the muscles are not tense which can result in cramps.
Third, focus your mind on one object.
This one meditation technique can help you to focus on the positive. Most of the functionality of this technique is to relax your mind and train your brain to think more positively, happily, and fun.
Sit comfortably, then think about the image of the object you want to focus on your mind (eg the ocean view). Focus on the object you choose and note details such as color, sound, touch, feel, noise, and smell.
Remember, whatever you think should bring peace to your mind.
Usually, pregnant women will imagine the baby's face when born later. But you should think of something more universal like a sight or holiday with your husband.
