Connecting, Calming, Protecting: Third Trimester Prep ✨🌿
The third trimester is a transformative time—a bridge between pregnancy and the sacred experience of childbirth. As I prepare for labor, I’m embracing tools and practices that foster connection, calm, and protection. Here’s a look into my personal third-trimester practice and how these elements help me feel grounded and empowered.
Unakite Bracelet: Balance and Connection
Unakite is one of my go-to stones during pregnancy. Known for its nurturing energy, this crystal promotes harmony, emotional resilience, and self-love—all essential as I prepare for birth. By wearing Unakite consistently for two weeks, I allow my energy to align with its properties, making its benefits even more potent. It creates a calming, supportive environment as I navigate these final weeks and prepare to meet my baby.
🐻 Intention Teddy Essentials: Protection and Intuition
My Intention Teddy is a comforting tool that I personalize with supportive elements and sleep with at night:
- Black Tourmaline: This grounding stone protects against negative energy, creating a safe, stable space for emotional and physical preparation.
- Amethyst: Known for enhancing intuition and promoting tranquility, it helps me tune into my inner wisdom and stay centered.
- Lavender Essential Oil: Its soothing, relaxing properties make it ideal for connecting with my breath and finding moments of peace.
🖋️ Intention Setting
Writing intentions has been one of the most grounding practices for me. It’s a way to align my energy with my goals and focus on what truly matters. I generally set intentions at the New Moon and then follow up at the full moon. During these last few weeks I am just focusing on one:
"I am in touch with the Divine within me."
👑 The Crown Chakra: Opening to Intuition
The crown chakra, located at the top of the head, is the seat of divine connection and spiritual awareness. Focusing on opening the crown chakra in the third trimester helps me tap into my intuition and trust in the process of labor. This openness fosters a sense of surrender and allows energy to flow where it’s needed most during childbirth, helping me stay aligned and empowered. My intention and working with Amethyst is meant to support this.
✨ Finding Balance in the Third Trimester
Whether you’re preparing for labor or seeking emotional balance in pregnancy, practices like these can guide you into a space of calm and connection. The combination of Unakite, protective crystals, essential oils, and intention-setting has been invaluable for me, and I hope it inspires you to explore what feels right for your journey.
