Expectful

hello and welcome to launch day of the Expectful Pregnancy Meditation Journey! wow. when i tell you that my heart and spirit feel like they’re overflowing with abundance and gratitude as this meditation series extends to your hearts and your ears... please believe me. when i wrote this journey, it was so beautiful to reflect on my own pregnancy and my meditation journey. both experiences can be... intimidating, right? a ton of questio...ns go through your mind: can i actually sit still and do nothing? do i have the power to give birth? can meditation really help calm my mind and body? am i doing all that i can to ensure a healthy pregnancy for myself and my baby? what i’m hoping is that these meditations will allow you to extend ease, loving-kindness, grace and gratitude as you navigate through the remainder of your pregnancy, cultivate a meditation practice, and transition into motherhood. for the moments that we meditate together, i hope that this journey allows you to gain a deeper connection with yourself, your body, and your blossoming baby. let’s begin this journey together! the 10-day meditation journey is now live on the Expectful app. Start a free trial today at expectful.com/trial i look forward to meditating with you.

As a company, it is our mission to bring calm and confidence into the world, from the moment that life begins. Yet in this world, it is all too evident that not all lives are treated with equal reverence and respect. That many people are denied their fundamental right to a peaceful existence, from the moment they are born. This must change. We must create a world in which ALL lives are precious and worth saving. That is the world our children and children-to-be deserve to inh...abit. We must model for our children what it means to be an upstanding citizen of the world, compassionate and committed to social equality. Standing in solidarity, we are making donations to Black Mamas Matter, The Loveland Foundation, and Black Visions Collective. To any friends and allies who need calm and reassurance more than ever, but can not afford a subscription, please reach out to us: [email protected]. If you feel sad, or scared, and need a compassionate ear: reach out to us too. This is a time to take care of each other.https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5IVBJHY5U/?igshid=mlx2h6s2hdxt

Looking back over the past few months, a clear trend is emerging: creating daily mindfulness practices to nurture emotional wellbeing and support the health of their babies has helped families feel more resilient, prepared for their births, and given them new tools for postpartum peace of mind. https://expectful.com//emotional-wellbeing-during-pregnan/
