Free Guided Meditation for New Mothers - to Rest, Restore & Come Back to Yourself
This one’s for you, mama.
This beautiful guided meditation was created by Nicola Unite, someone who truly understands what it takes to restore a tired, overstretched nervous system and she made it especially for the NAO mamas.
Because we know what this season is like. We know how much you are giving, how little you are sleeping, and how somewhere between the feeds and the washing and the trying-to-keep-it-all-together, you have quietly stopped looking after yourself.
Here’s what we want you to hear: taking twelve minutes for yourself is not selfish. It is actually one of the most loving things you can do. For you, yes, but also for your baby, your partner and everyone lucky enough to be around you. When you fill your cup even a little, everyone feels it.
It’s just twelve minutes. Gentle, warm, and made to hold you, whether this is your first baby or your fourth, whether you’re thriving or just surviving today.
Make yourself a tea, find a quiet spot and let yourself be held for a moment.
Twelve minutes, just for you.
Listen in the parked car, while nursing, having a bath or wherever you can steal a quiet moment.
