How you’ll feel
more present in your body and connected to yourself
Meditation Library
It is normal to feel disconnected from your body after loss. This 4-minute meditation can help you re-connect through gentle movement and centering. You are prompted to stand, but you can always adapt this meditation to a sitting position.
A common experience of life after pregnancy loss is wrestling with the concept of normalcy. Sometimes, we want to feel normal again, but don’t know how; other times, we balk at the assumption that things ever could, or should, return to normal. This 5-minute breathing and mantra meditation is here to remind you that you are learning what a new kind of normal means for you.
Emotions come in waves as we grieve and move through pregnancy loss — they can ebb and flow like the ocean shoreline or they can hit us like a tsunami. And it can feel impossible to process them when they are that overwhelming. This 9-minute meditation acts as a guide to help you engage with your emotions so that you can better understand what they — and you — need.
This gentle body scan meditation supports you by guiding your awareness through each part of the body with mindful presence. It helps you reconnect with yourself in a grounded and compassionate way, allowing space for both physical and emotional sensations to release.
FAQs
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of being present with and in your body, whether you’re sitting or standing, moving or still, alone or among other people. It allows you to sit with your emotions and thoughts without judgement. Mindfulness can help you re-regulate when you’re feeling overwhelmed or shut down — it can help you bring your mind and body back to a place of safety.
Do I need anything to practice mindfulness?
All you need is you. Mindfulness can be practiced wherever you are. Some of these exercises will include prompts (i.e. to sit or stand), but you can adapt them to whatever environment you’re in. We encourage you to make these your own and return to them whenever you need to!
I would like to personalize these mindfulness exercises. How do I work with you?

How can I use these exercises?
These mindfulness exercises are for whenever you need them — when you’re feeling overwhelmed and need a quick reset or when you’re looking to engage more deeply with the emotions you’re processing during and after loss. Mindfulness helps us build a consistent practice of being present and checking in with ourselves as we navigate this time.
I’m finding these really helpful and want more. How are the free and paid mediations different?
In our own experiences of pregnancy loss, we struggled to find meditations geared specifically towards miscarriage — the exercises included here are all part of a free resource. If you find them helpful and want to engage more deeply, we will soon offer longer mediations that will be available for purchase. These paid mediations incorporate more bodywork and help you to not only regulate in the moment, but better understand and navigate the emotions you’re feeling.
