In this spontaneous JSJ guided meditation, I practice what’s called the self-help 26 hold (giving yourself a hug). This hold, along with the emotional freedom techniques used during this episode, helps me detach from over-analyzing my thoughts and relieve mental stress when pregnant. On a physical level, this JSJ hold helps to relieve physical stress, depression, and anxiety. It also helps balance our endocrine system (think hormones and reproductive system!) which is such an important system to support when pregnant. This hold helps me relax into a state of “being” rather than “doing”. I can get so caught up in trying too hard to "do things", that I'm creating anxiety and emotional stress. So, I take a moment to “hug” myself, focus on truths, feel my breath, think about my baby. I let go for a time to help my mind and body relax. And invite my body and growing baby into my parasympathetic mode during this meditation rather than sympathetic mode. Using guided meditation during pregnancy can support your parasympathetic nervous system which promotes relaxation and healing, rather than the typical sympathetic mode which means fight or flight mode.
