Welcome to the Motherhood Mentor Podcast. I'm Becca, a somatic healing practitioner and a holistic life coach for moms, and this podcast is for you. You can expect honest conversations and incredible guests that speak to health, healing and growth in every area of our lives. This isn't just strategy for what we do. It's support for who we are. I believe we can be wildly ambitious while still holding all of our soft and hard humanity as holy. 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.
Speaker 1: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: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: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: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.
