Meditation is an essential component of Yoga practices
in pregnancy.
Meditation can be done in Sukhasana (Crossed Leg) or Vajrasana. It is the
heart of yoga. It is the flowering of the mind and soul, and with it comes
peace, clarity, harmony, and energy.

Inhale slowly and completely to fill the lungs. -
While exhaling chant 'A-U-M' in a low pitch. -
Feel the sound resonance throughout the body. -
Repeat nine times. Note -
Different sounds like A, U, M & A-U-M are produced loudly so that they generate a fine resonance all over the body. Resonance will occur only when the frequency of the generated sound matches with the natural frequency of your body. -
These resonant sounds act as stimulations and the post-resonance silence deepens the awareness and releases even very subtle tensions. -
Therefore, while producing different sounds (A, U, M & A-U-M) try to adjust the pitch in such a way that a fine resonance is achieved. |
