Öhrn Life Management

I go to the hospital and listen to my baby’s heart rate. I read in one book how many millimeters my baby is now. In the newsletter that I get every week from a baby site I learn that I no longer have 20 sets of nails – I have 40 of them! 20 outside and 20 inside my body.

Imagine this takes place inside of me! What happens physically during pregnancy is nothing short of a wonder.

Beyond the physical
But there is also other things that go on, beyond the gross physical level. Things that may be even more thrilling than the most obvious. In my yoga and meditation practice (and teaching) I try to nurture the connection to a more subtle dimension of pregnancy, beyond the physical.

You may choose to call it spiritual or energetic, internal or mental work. It doesn’t matter what name we give it.  Anyways, I aim to go beyond the most obvious. To have  a peek at what may lay beyond my bodily experience. – To encounter something bigger and more fascinating than a sore lower back.

A true wonder
There are so many benefits from this work, especially during these nine months of intense physical changes.  Through this I can find emence power to support me and keep me happy. Even when sleep deprived, forced to the toilet by my compressed bladder several times each night as I am.

By stilling my body and thoughts in meditation, a gateway opens up to an inner source of innate knowledge. And with it comes a trust in myself and that my body can go through even the most challenging times of pregnancy – and birth.  This is a true wonder!

Dear Child,
We can not be any closer than we are right now. You residing inside of me is as close as we will ever be. Physically. What goes on beyond this physical level is so much deeper though and even after you leave my body we will still be part of something bigger, that holds both you and I.
