Mindful Pregnancy & Birth Book

Description

This beautiful book is in excellent condition and was very reassuring for me during my pregnancy. Currently £13 on amazon. Focusing on the entire journey; from pregnancy through to early parenthood​,​ this guide to living mindfully for expectant mothers helps prepare you for birth and improve your wellbeing with the ancient practice of mindfulness. When we talk about making something​,​ it usually refers to creating​,​ manipulating​,​ or forming a material. In pregnancy​,​ our bodies are wrapped up in doing all of these things at once​,​ and on a grand scale. But in the act of making space in ourselves through mindfulness​,​ none of these things apply. In Mindful Pregnancy & Birth we engage in an act of "not doing". Of not changing​,​ but of simply "being" in the experience of ourselves. Pregnancy is a phase in which to reconcile what has been​,​ with what will become. It is a process​,​ a time of change​,​ and even more so for a first-time mother. It is a recognition of our dreams for the future being in transit​,​ in gestation​,​ in the making.
