Meditation for Moms

New moms, there is still a way for you to include meditation in your life!

Pre-baby, it was hard enough to get to the meditation cushion. Now, when your priorities have shifted to the care and feeding of your child (or children), those few discretionary moments may seem to be gone forever. They aren’t! All that is needed is a little support.

Please join Open Heart Project Meditation Guide, writer, nutrition therapist, and new mom Jenna Hollenstein for a free conference call to discuss:

• The top 5 benefits of meditation for new mommies;
• The most common reasons for putting it off; and,
• 5 ways to put it all together without guilt or stress

All of this will be discussed on a special, moms-only, free hour-long conference call on June 14 at 3:00 p.m. EDT.

We will also share information on our new weekly gathering, the Mommy Sangha.

The call will be recorded and a link sent to all registered participants. To secure your spot, please register here.

Having trouble submitting via the form? Please email Michele and she’ll add you to the list.

What New Moms in the Mommy Sangha are saying:

As a new mama, finding the time to practice and having the motivation to do so (in competition with so many other things on my to-do list) is an everyday challenge. I can’t always join the group live, but the option to watch the recorded videos and add to forum discussion at my own pace has made my stillness practice more practical and, thus, easier to do. The added support, accountability and ideas that come from this gentle community help me evolve into a better parent as my sweet little girl grows. Kelly, Washington, D.C. and Paris, mom to Sage, age 21 months

What I love about this community is the feeling that we all come from a place of “not knowing” and there is no trying to hide your “stuff” to appear in a certain way. I feel welcome with all my mess. We are all in the same boat…with a longing to give ourselves a bit of space to practice. And it is easier to find the motivation/energy/time for practice when you don’t have to do it alone. Aurelie, Brussels, mom to Mila, age 1 year

They say “it takes a village…” and mommy sangha is part of that village. As a new mom, I was having a difficult time carving out time for my meditation practice. Joining the mommy sangha was a commitment to myself to create the space that I needed to take care of myself. It’s been a great experience connecting with other moms across the developmental span of motherhood (and across the globe!) and learning from everyone’s experience. Alexis, New York City, mom to Roberta, age 11 months
