This journal will help you manifest the things you want to achieve. We all have dreams, aspirations, we have desires to achieve our dreams, to improve ourselves and be better people. This journal is a positive tool to manifest the things you want. The importance of visualizing our dreams: We visualize the image, impregnating it in the mind. We feel the emotions, just as if we are receiving it. Feel like you already have it. We already find the feeling of having it by remembering successes that we have already had, what were the moments of joy, for example, when we had our first car, house, vacations, the birth of a child, the day of our graduation. When we are in gratitude, love, happiness and in a state of harmony. At the beginning of your manifestation journal, write down your list of manifestations. These are the goals, dreams, and aspirations you want for yourself now and in the future, including the bad habits you want to go away. Be as specific as possible. This can easily take up several pages. Or assign a page to each item on your list. Draw pictures, add images, use stickers, or add anything else to make it more visual if you want.

This seated pregnant mama birth goddess sculpture is about 3 inches and colored with a beautiful green mica pigment. She is an abundant figure. My sculptures are based on my own experiences with pregnancy, birth, and motherhood and the role that birth art has played in my own preparations for giving birth. This figure represents the incorporation of the pregnant identity into your life. The figure was created in resin from a cast from my original clay sculpture. Small imperfections due to handcrafting, such as fingernail scratches. Sculptures are each finished for you when you order and demand is high, so please expect up to a week before shipping.

Our program gives you 15 minutes per day to use proven mind-body techniques to reduce stress and best balance and prepare your body throughout your entire pregnancy. Each session corresponds to the changes occurring during each week of the first trimester, and then monthly for the second and third trimesters. And we include a special FREE bonus program - a powerful 30 minute session to help you best prepare for labor and delivery. Are you newly pregnant, but still find yourself feeling so anxious and worried especially after trying to conceive for a lengthy period of time? And unfortunately, studies show a link between stress and various potential complications of pregnancy, so the general recommendation for pregnant women is to try to integrate relaxation techniques throughout pregnancy. But our programs offer MUCH more than just a daily way to reverse the negative effects of stress. Since this newly expanded pregnancy program offers a unique program for each week in your first trimester (and monthly thereafter), you can start to feel in greater control over your pregnancy immediately and especially during the somewhat tense first trimester. You will gain a deep understanding of what your body is undertaking during each step, and offers a wonderful way to connect with your baby as you use visualization exercises to see he or she's (or babies!) growth and development. And a HUGE bonus: we offer a specific program specifically designed for labor and delivery. quot;As everything is so very very new in week 5, I found at times to be anxious and a tad stressed. It was nice to hear that I can control my levels of stress which gave me a great feeling of control. I found it an enormous plus how you mention that your body knows exactly what to do to, which is hard to think that because everything is so new and your body has never gone through this before. However to hear these words was very reassuring.quot; ~ Courtney, one of our beta-testers Benefits Include: * Reduce stress, which has been shown to cause low birth-weight and premature labor, and effect your baby's temperament and neurobehavioral development. * Employ powerful mind-body exercises that corresponds to the specific requirements of each trimester. * Connect emotionally with your baby sooner. * Use your mind-body intelligence to potentially improve blood and oxygen flow, healthy growth of placenta, balance hormones, etc. * Feel in greater control through labor and delivery; and * Finding a few minutes each day for yourself to renew and rejuvenate, something every new mother should know how to do.
