What Is Meditation?
Meditation is an activity that allows you to focus on an
object, word, or image to control and calm your mind. Meditation is a part of
yoga and can be called "Dhyana" in Sanskrit. This activity will help
you to balance your body and mind.
Meditation during pregnancy can be as easy as taking a few
deep breaths and slowly exhaling. You can also do it at home or outdoors in an
upright sitting position so that it will be easier for you to get a calm mind.

The following are some of the most effective meditation techniques during pregnancy:
- Deep Breath Meditation
As the name implies, this meditation focuses on the breath
and its rhythm. With this meditation, your muscles' pressure will decrease and
make your heart rate calmer and help you sleep faster and soundly.
Lie down with your feet shoulder-width apart. Breathe gently
through your nose and shut your mouth. Your stomach will rise as air enters
your lungs and diaphragm. Hold it briefly then exhale through your nose. From
the second trimester or when you start to feel uncomfortable lying on the back,
you can change your position to lie on your side and with a pillow between your
legs.
- Deeply Belly Meditation
You have to put your hands on your stomach, then feel the
warm sensation that appears on your palms. Inhale and exhale slowly regularly.
When something comes up in your mind, let it pass. Do this movement for about
five minutes each day and increase the duration over time.
- "Third Eye" Meditation
The area in the middle of your eyebrows is called the
"third eye". Behind this gland is the pineal gland, which regulates
sleep patterns and is very sensitive to light. The pineal gland also produces
serotonin known to evoke feelings of happiness.
Meditation is done regularly along with a balanced diet, proper nutrition during pregnancy, and moderate exercise. It is not impossible that you will always be healthy and strong during pregnancy.
