Sankalpa

In sanskrit, "sankalpa" means "will, purpose, or determination."  To create a Sankalpa is to set an intention.  Set a sankalpa for your pregnancy/birth.  Say it to yourself every night before you go to sleep.  Repeat it every morning before your feet touch the floor.  Let it be your mantra.  Use it in your prayers or meditation practice, let it flow through your thoughts when you are unloading your groceries, brushing your teeth, tying your shoes (assuming you can still bend over far enough to tie them).   I will have a healthy pregnancy.  My birth will be beautiful, safe, and normal.  I will have a VBAC.
