In this spontaneous JSJ guided meditation, I practice 3 self-help holds to assist me out of an anxiety attack. When pregnant, anxiety and anxiety attacks can feel debilitating; whether it's from increased fatigue, exhaustion, changing hormones, environment, etc, sometimes it feels like just all too much to handle.
Although infrequent, I still have an occasional anxiety attack, and most of the time, I am able to process and shift out of it easily even though it's not fun. These three holds was just spontaneous decision. There are many holds to help yourself during anxiety/panic attacks. The holds we practice today help us to ground, allows for adaptation, encourages movement, and centers our soul, and stills our minds and bodies.
Today, I start with finding a safe place, then accepting the feelings, then shifting thoughts, then realigning with thoughts more beneficial and positive. Watch a transformation from an anxiety attack to calm and ready for the next step in my day.
I didn't purposely leave baby out of this episode (usually I reference or talk about growing baby during the episodes), however, I would have added near the end of the meditation something like this message to baby: "I love you so much baby. This anxiety attack that you may have felt has nothing to do with you. Even if you think it is, even if I think it is, truly, it's not. These are my feelings and my emotions, and you, my sweet baby, don't need to worry about it or take these emotions on in any way."
I considered not publishing this episode. Mostly because I wasn't sure about being so vulnerable. But, I'm here to be real after all, so publishing this episode made sense even if it just helps one person! I edited this episode heavily, and I would love all feedback, as it helps guide me to build and create episode by episode.
Being pregnant is hard! I'm so glad I have JSJ, meditation, and a whole bag of other tools to help me along the way. What an insane journey this is: the journey into motherhood. There are no words to describe the intense emotions I have felt and continue to feel during this time. I don't know how I might be acting and what would fill my thoughts during this transition time if I hadn't begun my healing journey long ago.
