I took a Mindfulness Birthing class during my first pregnancy. On the last day, our teacher guided us through a Metta Meditation, cultivating loving-kindness towards ourselves and our babies-to-be. Our teacher had us repeat intentions including, “May my baby be healthy,” “May my delivery be safe,” and “May my baby be happy.”
In the spirit of the New Year of 2011, I invite you to participate in a collective moment of compassionate meditation. Feel free to add sentences in the comments sections.
May my baby be healthy.
May my baby be safe.
May my baby be happy.
May my partner be healthy.
May my partner by safe.
May my partner be happy.
May I be healthy.
May I be safe.
May I be happy.
May I lead with my heart.
May I trust my intuition.
May I choose the generous thought.
May I forgive more and judge less.
May I be the humble receiver of grace.
Love,
Jessica
