Water Meditation.

This meditation is taken from the book  Pagan Pregnancy.

Using the elements to interact with and meditate on to help create balance in at a time when everything is in the air and I can say it really is a time when things are all out and it can be difficult to create the right head space. I am going to try all the meditations and then re use the ones that I think that I need the most.

 I have found the Water meditation brillient for me personaly because I have found that my emotions are all over the place and that is proberbly due to the hormones but this is a nice meditation to A) relax to and b) to stop all the massive internal dialogue that has hit me since becoming pregnant.

Water is also associated with emotions and I think that this is why I have found that since using this meditation particually in the evening I have found that I am far more calm about things and there is far less emotional swinging from one feeling to another which was getting worse as I progress towards the third trimester I think I was getting quite anxious.

I will be trying the Alternative water meditation also.

Water meditation from Pagan pregnancy

You will need:
A blanket 
your journal and pen

Prepare your space as you usally do for meditation. Have your journal on hand with a pen or pencil.

lying down is acceptable for this meditation, it it not usally recomended if you would prefer to sit then feel free to do so, in a comfey possition.

Center and Ground

Close your eyes and breath calmly and regularly. As you exhale, allow your body to relax. With every exhalation, feel yourself relaxing more and more.

Visualize your surroundings slowly changing to a warm and safe body of water. Feel the flow of water below and around you. Feel the movement of the waves and the surface gently crading you and dipping you soothingly up and down. Sense the energy of the water as it flows around and beneath you.

Then allow the energy of the water to merge with your own energy. Feel the calming, cleansing energy of the water: allow it to purify your fears and doubts.

Stay like this for as long as you desire.

When you are ready to end the meditation, imagine the water cradling you slowly fading, to be replaced by your physical environment once again.

Center and ground again.

Take three deep breaths, then open your eyes.

Stretch carefully and sit up. In your journal, write down your experiences and the things that you felt.
