0:00.0 | So getting comfortable for relaxation. |
0:02.0 | Find a position that suits you. |
0:05.0 | This may be sitting up in a supportive position. |
0:08.0 | If you've got a bean bag and a bolster, place the bean bag at the wall, |
0:12.0 | and place the bolster against an angle that you can lean into. |
0:16.0 | You can also do this with your sofa cushions, etc. |
0:18.0 | You could sit at the end or the middle of the sofa and place the sofa cushions building a structure that you can lean into. Make sure your head |
0:26.6 | is supported. Also make sure that your legs are supported. You might put pillows underneath |

1:32.2 | closing your eyes and letting your body yield to gravity. Just allowing the whole of the pelvis to |
1:42.2 | settle. Front of the pelvis, back of the pelvis, sides of the pelvis. |
1:52.0 | And now just visualizing your little baby's head, nestling their little forehead in towards your sacrum. |
2:03.6 | Visualize their little spine, softening and leaning into your belly. |
2:11.6 | And visualizing their little arms snuggle gently into their own chest. |
