Often when I talk to new moms about benefits of meditation they, “I can’t do that, I can’t sit still. My mind is too busy with thoughts.” My advice is to close your eyes and say a mantra such as “My baby is beautiful and healthly”. On the inhale you say quietly to yourself “My baby is” and on the exhale “beautiful and healthy”. Repeat the breath and the mantra as long as you feel comfortable. Notice how much more relaxed and connected to your baby you feel after completing your meditation.
