<p>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&#39;s from increased fatigue, exhaustion, changing hormones, environment, etc, sometimes it feels like just all too much to handle. </p> <p>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&#39;s not fun. These three holds was just spontaneous decision. There are many holds to help yourself during anxiety/panic attacks. The holds we practice today help us to ground, allows for adaptation, encourages movement, and centers our soul, and stills our minds and bodies.</p> <p>Today, I start with finding a safe place, then accepting the feelings, then shifting thoughts, then realigning with thoughts more beneficial and positive. Watch a transformation from an anxiety attack to calm and ready for the next step in my day. </p> <p>I didn&#39;t purposely leave baby out of this episode (usually I reference or talk about growing baby during the episodes), however, I would have added near the end of the meditation something like this message to baby: &quot;I love you so much baby. This anxiety attack that you may have felt has nothing to do with you. Even if you think it is, even if I think it is, truly, it&#39;s not. These are my feelings and my emotions, and you, my sweet baby, don&#39;t need to worry about it or take these emotions on in any way.&quot;</p> <p>I considered not publishing this episode. Mostly because I wasn&#39;t sure about being so vulnerable. But, I&#39;m here to be real after all, so publishing this episode made sense even if it just helps one person!  I edited this episode heavily, and I would love all feedback, as it helps guide me to build and create episode by episode.</p> <p>Being pregnant is hard! I&#39;m so glad I have JSJ, meditation, and a whole bag of other tools to help me along the way. What an insane journey this is: the journey into motherhood. There are no words to describe the intense emotions I have felt and continue to feel during this time. I don&#39;t know how I might be acting and what would fill my thoughts during this transition time if I hadn&#39;t begun my healing journey long ago. </p> <p><strong>JSJ Combination Meditations Packages </strong><a href="Purchase JSJ Combination Meditations Packages: ⁠https://holdforhealing.com/shop-products">⁠⁠<strong>NOW AVAILABLE</strong>⁠⁠</a>: <a href="https://anchor.fm/pregnancyjsjmeditations/support">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p><a href="https://anchor.fm/pregnancyjsjmeditations/support">⁠⁠https://holdforhealing.com/shop-products⁠⁠</a></p> <p><strong>Donate to Hold for Healing </strong><a href="Purchase JSJ Combination Meditations Packages: ⁠https://holdforhealing.com/shop-products">⁠⁠<strong>HERE</strong>⁠⁠</a> 😊 </p> <p><a href="https://holdforhealing.com/donate⁠">⁠⁠https://holdforhealing.com/donate⁠⁠</a></p> <p>Always feel free to contact me at <a href="https://holdforhealing.com">⁠https://holdforhealing.com</a></p>
