Mindful Pregnancy & Birth: Nurturing Love and Awareness

Focusing on the entire journey; from pregnancy through to early parenthood, this guide to living mindfully for expectant mothers helps prepare you for birth and improve your wellbeing with an understanding of mindfulness practices. In pregnancy, our bodies are wrapped up in creating something new on a grand scale. But in the act of making space in ourselves through mindfulness, none of these things apply. Instead, we engage in an act of "not doing"—not changing, but simply being in the experience of ourselves. The author comes from a Vipassana meditation background.
