A healthy pregnancy and healthy baby is what I desire but these things are beyond my reach at this point. I was introduced to this simple yet powerful visualization exercise (which I received through the grapevine but I think originated with Martha Beck) and it is one way to experience in the present moment some measure of what I am longing for.
Allowing yourself about 10 minutes so that you can take your time, settle in and close your eyes. Now imagine a telescope that has been specially designed for you; notice what it looks like. Climb up to your telescope so that you can look through it. It’s a special telescope that shows you the future. See the future that you desire in all its fullness. What sensations, colours, smells do you notice? What’s happening, within you and around you? How does it feel? Take it all in. This exercise elicits some of the positive feelings that I wish to experience but often don’t seem accessible to me right now, in the waiting and not knowing how the journey will unfold. While it’s true that I still have to wait for a pregnancy or to parent a child - and I can’t guarantee that these things will ever happen for me – it’s also true that I can access the feeling state of what I desire in the here and now. I don’t have to wait to feel those warm and content feelings. And the more I can tap into this positive feeling state and stay in a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity, the easier it will be to make good decisions and proceed in the best possible way.
