In this JSJ self-help guided meditation practice, you learn two sell-help holds that will encourage the stressors of the physical body to dissipate as well as relieve some of the fatigue many women can feel during pregnancy. The first step is a hold (SEL (safety energy lock) 11 and 15) which helps our supervisor energy flow, and the second is a self-help quick hold to help relieve fatigue (SEL 19s held together). With a JSJ practice, you will find that many times some other...

Practice falling asleep during pregnancy using this delightful JSJ energy flow. In Jin Shin Jyutsu, called the Spleen Function Energy Flow, this flow helps support our reproductive functions and helps relieve us of pregnancy insomnia (among other things as well). I use this flow all throughout pregnancy (both right and left flow) to help assist myself to sleep.  During pregnancy, we have to be very careful in what we consume for insomnia relief. Some women are used to consuming substances...

These self help holds also bring vitality to our lungs and entire chest area, open our hearts, and help calm and steady our heart. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pregnancyjsjmeditations/support

During pregnancy, supporting our hearts physically, mentally, and emotionally can offer huge benefits to you and your growing baby. No need to spend hours in visualization meditations if you're more word-based in your mental space like me. Connect with your inner soul, your heart space, and instantly feel connected with your own growing baby all the time. During these meditations where old emotions and possibly intense emotions may rise, I like to leave the baby out of communication in this...

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...

In this spontaneous JSJ guided meditation, I practice what is called the self-help 10 flow. These holds revitalize 10 out of our 12 organ function energy flows. These holds also increase our respiratory function which helps us breathe and brings harmony to our entire system. During pregnancy, our bodies work very hard to build and create life within us. This hold helps aid our bodies (organs in particular) back into a state of balance and harmony. Pregnant women suffer from many physical...

Practicing this simple JSJ self-care hold can be very beneficial during pregnancy.

Relax, and let go of stress and tension in this guided meditation created for pregnant women around the world.  It's amazing to me how we...

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...

In today's pregnancy JSJ meditation, I practice the JSJ flow called the stomach function energy flow. This is a JSJ flow that helps us digest all things both physically and emotionally. This meditation focuses on our breath and connects our breath with our baby belly in a unique visualization. Breath relaxation techniques can be so helpful during pregnancy. Release pregnancy anxiety, worry, and stress with this JSJ self-care hold. When we connect a full and complete exhalation with these...

This JSJ guided meditation helps rejuvenate our entire body and is the source of our life energy. This is a vital flow, and I practice this flow all the time whether pregnant or not. The main central vertical flow helps to generate all 144,000 functions of our bodies. I use this flow regularly, especially when I want to feel calm and connected to my inner spirit, breath, and baby. I find that this flow helps me relieve stress, tension, overwhelm, and anxiety. Practicing this flow on a regular...

During this JSJ guided meditation, you will learn a flow called the main central vertical flow. I spend more time on a hold during the middle of this flow because this hold is a specific one to relieve nausea. However, I would recommend practicing this entire flow at least a few times a week, and then you can use this specific nausea hold as a quickie during the remainder of the week. Dealing with nausea and vomiting during that first trimester of pregnancy can seem overwhelming and...

Preparing for labor and birth can be quite a journey. I believe practicing focusing on your breathing while experiencing uncomfortable sensations in our bodies, such as anxiousness, is an important first step in preparing for labor, delivery, and birth. If feelings of anxiety or other uncomfortable emotions during your pregnancy are overwhelming you right now, this might be the episode for you. *Disclaimer: emotions may rise to the surface during these JSJ meditations. This is because JSJ is...

In today’s meditation, we practice a very simple JSJ self-care hold to release all the  "trying to" and "efforting" of the day. Maybe we're trying too hard to please other people, or accomplish goals and to-do's. In this meditation, we simply let go of the mental chatter and feel enjoyment in the stillness and find peace in the present moment.  This particular attitude (or emotion) of "trying to" and "efforting" is overlooked in today's busy societies, because it is encouraged. But as my...

In today's pregnancy JSJ meditations, I practice a JSJ self-care hold that releases stress and tension that accumulates in our bodies during pregnancy. In general, this hold helps ground us and helps us feel the relief of mental and physical stress.

This simple position is a major "intersection" of many other JSJ flows and is a simple, yet powerful hold to practice during pregnancy....

In today’s episode, we practice a very simple JSJ self-care hold on both sides of the body. This meditation helps to calm our nervous system quickly, which also helps clear our minds and connect with our growing baby inside. During pregnancy, our bodies are going through so many changes and working so hard to grow our beautiful little baby. It’s important for us women to take time to stop, breathe, and just be still periodically during our busy days. Not only are you instantly helping your...

In today's pregnancy JSJ meditation, I practice the JSJ flow called the kidney function energy flow. This is a JSJ flow that helps increase the energy within us, release fears, and help create and transform our lives. This meditation dives deep into reprogramming our minds about the fear of labor and birth and shifting these difficult emotions. Starting with breath relaxation techniques, then accepting our fears, and then releasing and shifting emotions of fear into more positive ones like...

Ease frustrations and clear emotions of anger, annoyance, resentment, irritability in today’s pregnancy JSJ meditation. Practice a JSJ self-care hold, breath exhalation, and emotional freedom techniques that help you relax and melt these feelings away. I'm currently at 35 weeks of pregnancy, and this week people surrounding me just started to annoy and irritate me. This signaled to me that I needed my third depth balanced, which is what this meditation focuses on. During the final weeks of...

In today's pregnancy JSJ meditations, I practice a JSJ self-care flow and guided meditation to help us practice relaxing in our discomforts. This JSJ self-care flow helps us balance our physical and emotional bodies. Feeling discomforts during pregnancy can feel like a burden, but I believe the discomforts come and go with ease. We don't need to be stuck with any particular discomfort for a long duration of time. This flow is also very effective at relieving back pain, dissolving fears, and...

In today's pregnancy JSJ meditation, I practice two self-help JSJ acupressure holds that helps us physically to balance our hormones and harmonize our reproductive functions. These holds mentally help us let go and release mental stress (anxiety, frustration, overwhelm, etc...). I struggle with "trying-to-hard" to make things happen, to make everything go perfectly, which ultimately stresses me out, gives feelings of anxiety, or overwhelms me--every. time. So I continually practice letting go...

In today's pregnancy JSJ meditation, I explore two different self-care JSJ holds that reduce fatigue. I practice emotional freedom techniques that help alleviate feelings and emotions of fear surrounding pregnancy and your unborn baby. With JSJ holds and breathe awareness, we can easily shift our state of being both mentally and physically. I've always accidentally stuffed down emotions instead of just feeling and witnessing them in order for them to be released. In this pregnancy guided...

In today's pregnancy JSJ meditation, I explore a few different self-care holds in a series that will help alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety -- more specifically overwhelm and what I call feelings of "trying too hard" which disrupts our energetic systems. During the holiday season, we can get caught up in all the hustle and bustle and forget to care for ourselves and take time to clear our minds, take a break, and simply relax. Being pregnant during the holidays can be extra tough, and...

Pregnancy hormones got you feeling down? Disconnected? Depressed? Lonely? I like to call all these feelings simply feeling "stuck". I define my emotions so much differently than I used to, but I think depressed, bored, and down would be words I would have described this feeling in the past. In today's pregnancy JSJ guided meditation, I use the self-care JSJ hold for the 10 flow which helps bring movement into the body as well as help us feel a sense of abundance within. This flow helps us...
