When I was pregnant with my daughter I took a hypnobirthing class. I remembered seeing hypnobirthing videos when I was in my doula training studies several years ago.

I was amazed to see how hypnosis shifted the way birthing mom’s related to their contractions. Many of the women would describe the sensations they were feeling but they were not interpreting them as painful. I remember thinking WOW if that’s possible for them, maybe that could be possible for me.

I believe that using hypnosis really supported me in relaxing, trusting my body and having a quick and peaceful labor and delivery. Even though I had such a gentle birth experience I am listening to my hypnobirthing cd to prepare for my new arrival in March.

Listening to these affirmations and visualizations reminds me how critical it is to condition your mind for the best outcome in all areas of your life. This mental conditioning prepares you to receive the thing you want but it also prepares you to be flexible and open to other possibilities.

How do you prepare yourself to receive your heart’s desire?

After having a baby in 2014, I was starting to feel like we were outgrowing our cozy 2 bdrm apartment in LA. I was feeling like I wanted us to be in a house with more space and a backyard in a residential neighborhood

I was also thinking about wanting to be closer to my parents so that they could be an active part of my daughter’s life. They lived in Northern CA, which seemed like a costly move and the energy of moving felt overwhelming, especially with a new baby.

When we came to visit my parents for the holidays last year, I was checking out listings online even though we had no official plans to move and saw a cute place not far from them. I came to see it, just to get an idea of what we might be looking for and low and behold this sweet house had our name on it. Needless to say, I saved the number as Our New House in my phone.

There was someone else who was the first candidate and they ended up saying no. We went back and forth about whether we should accept the place and if now was the right time to move. We applied for this place December 31, 2014 and moved the family to the Bay Area on January 28, 2015.

It’s amazing how your mind can have you convinced that something you want is going to take a long time to have. Or that you have to have all your ducks in a row before you can take action. This is something that felt like it would be challenging to create. Yet, life keeps me proving that when I move in the direction of what I want and what is meant for me, things can happen in Godspeed.

What’s something you are telling yourself that you cannot have now and how can you take action towards its manifestation anyway?
