I love combining deep inner healing with strategic systems and no-nonsense talk about what this season is really like . So grab whatever weird health beverage you're currently into and let's get into it . Welcome to a special episode of the Motherhood Mentor Podcast .

The following podcast is just going to be a short breath work that Julie led us in for reconnecting to our pelvic floor . She led this breath work with us in the previous podcast , so if you haven't listened to it , definitely go listen to it . But we wanted to create a special episode that you could just click on and use this as a time to reconnect to this part of you that you can just come back to over and over . So be sure to save and bookmark this episode so that you can use it whenever you need , as always , I recommend with a breath work session , with a meditative state type podcast . This is not ideal to do while you are driving . It's best to be practiced when you are . You can be at least a little bit focused and in a safe area . So I hope you enjoy and that this brings life and energy and focus back to an area that so many of us have disconnected from what I want you to do .

Speaker 2 1:45

Wherever you're listening to this , I want you to get in a comfortable position , whether that be sitting , standing or lying down . But if you are sitting , I want both feet equally on the ground , so don't cross your legs . And same thing lying down and standing , so have your feet equal wherever they are . Then what you're going to do is you're going to put one hand on your chest and one hand on your belly , and I want you to as you breathe in , I want you to breathe in into the hand on your belly , and the hand on your belly should rise up as you breathe in and it should lower down as you breathe out . So I want you to take a few breaths like that as you breathe out . So I want you to take a few breaths like that when you breathe in , have your hand rise up and then exhale , have your hand go down , and so the hand on your chest you shouldn't feel move very much , so it's mostly the hand on your belly that's moving . So now the next step is Right below the hand on your belly Should be your pelvic floor . So as you breathe in , now I want you to feel the breath go down into your vagina and then , as you exhale , I want you to feel a little lift in your vagina and then breathe in , have the breath go all the way down into your vagina and I want you to feel your vagina open and then , as you exhale , I want you to feel a little lift in your vagina , and so you're going to take a couple breaths like that .

Speaker 2 3:15

Now we're going to get a little bit more specific . So now I want you to move your hand so that it's on the top of your pubic bone , so from your stomach to the top of your pubic bone , so from your stomach to the top of your pubic bone . Now you're going to breathe into that hand . So you're going to breathe in and I want you to feel the breath go into your hand right there , that is , right above where your clitoris sits .

Speaker 2 3:39

So as you breathe in , you're going to breathe into that space right above your clitoris and then , as you breathe out , you should feel your pubic bone kind of move towards your tailbone , breathe in and feel it push out , and then exhale and feel it move towards your tailbone . So now I want you to actually visualize breathing down into your clitoris . So as you breathe in , you're going to feel your clitoris move and expand outward , and then , as you breathe out , you're going to feel your clitoris kind of do a little like nod and tuck in and then breathe in and expand outward and then exhale , nod , tuck in . So this is a drill that anyone can do anywhere . I definitely recommend doing it , just getting in a habit where you just do it before you fall asleep at night , and if it puts you to sleep , awesome , but it will just help you get more connected to your pelvic floor .
