In this JSJ self-help guided meditation practice, you learn two sell-help holds that will encourage the stressors of the physical body to dissipate as well as relieve some of the fatigue many women can feel during pregnancy. The first step is a hold (SEL (safety energy lock) 11 and 15) which helps our supervisor energy flow, and the second is a self-help quick hold to help relieve fatigue (SEL 19s held together). With a JSJ practice, you will find that many times some other symptoms/conditions m...

Practice falling asleep during pregnancy using this delightful JSJ energy flow. In Jin Shin Jyutsu, called the Spleen Function Energy Flow, this flow helps support our reproductive functions and helps relieve us of pregnancy insomnia (among other things as well). I use this flow all throughout pregnancy (both right and left flow) to help assist myself to sleep. During pregnancy, we have to be very careful in what we consume for insomnia relief. Some women are used to consuming substances that th...

During pregnancy, supporting our hearts physically, mentally, and emotionally can offer huge benefits to you and your growing baby.

During these meditations where old emotions and possibly intense emotions may rise, I like to leave the baby out of communication in this proc...

In this spontaneous JSJ guided meditation, I practice 3 self-help holds to assist me out of an anxiety attack. When pregnant, anxiety and anxiety attacks can feel debilitating; whether it's from increased fatigue, exhaustion, changing hormones, environment, etc, sometimes it feels like just all too much to handle. Although infrequent, I still have an occasional anxiety attack, and most of the time, I am able to process and shift out of it easily even though it's not fun. These three holds was ju...

In this spontaneous JSJ guided meditation, I practice what is called the self-help 10 flow. These holds revitalize 10 out of our 12 organ function energy flows.

This hold helps aid our bodies (organs in particular) back into a state of balance and harmony. Pregnant women suffer from many physical ailment...

During this JSJ guided meditation, you will learn a flow called the main central vertical flow. I spend more time on a hold during the middle of this flow because this hold is a specific one to relieve nausea. However, I would recommend practicing this entire flow at least a few times a week, and then you can use this specific nausea hold as a quickie during the remainder of the week. Dealing with nausea and vomiting during that first trimester of pregnancy can seem overwhelming and completely d...

Preparing for labor and birth can be quite a journey. I believe practicing focusing on your breathing while experiencing uncomfortable sensations in our bodies, such as anxiousness, is an important first step in preparing for labor, delivery, and birth. If feelings of anxiety or other uncomfortable emotions during your pregnancy are overwhelming you right now, this might be the episode for you. *Disclaimer: emotions may rise to the surface during these JSJ meditations. This is because JSJ is a h...

In today’s meditation, we practice a very simple JSJ self-care hold to release all the "trying to" and "efforting" of the day. Maybe we're trying too hard to please other people or accomplish goals and to-dos. In this meditation, we simply let go of the mental chatter and feel enjoyment in the stillness and find peace in the present moment. This particular attitude (or emotion) of "trying to" and "efforting" is overlooked in today's busy societies, because it is encouraged. But as my mentor remi...

In today's pregnancy JSJ meditation, I practice two self-help JSJ acupressure holds that helps us physically to balance our hormones and harmonize our reproductive functions. These holds mentally help us let go and release mental stress (anxiety, frustration, overwhelm, etc...).

So I continually practice letting go of...

In today's pregnancy JSJ meditation, I explore a few different self-care holds in a series that will help alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety -- more specifically overwhelm and what I call feelings of "trying too hard" which disrupts our energetic systems.

Being pregnant during the holidays can be extra tough, and I k...

Pregnancy hormones got you feeling down? Bored? Disconnected? Depressed? Lonely? I like to call all these feelings simply feeling "stuck". I define my emotions so much differently than I used to, but I think depressed, bored, and down would be words I would have described this feeling in the past. In today's pregnancy JSJ guided meditation, I use the self-care JSJ hold for the 10 flow which helps bring movement into the body as well as help us feel a sense of abundance within. This flow helps us...

In today’s pregnancy JSJ guided meditation, I practice the front supervisor self-care holds on the left and right side of the body. These JSJ holds are amazing at releasing back pain, back tension, hip pain, and hip tension during pregnancy (and really anyone experiencing this type of pain)! But during pregnancy, these areas can become quite uncomfortable as our bodies are physically shifting down in these areas. These two self-care JSJ supervisor holds are beneficial for not only lower back and...
