Please join us as we welcome Bhante Sujatha, an ordained Buddhist monk, to Belly Bliss on Friday, February 24, 2012 from 3-5pm. Pregnanacy is a special phase for any woman, and is especially a sacred time for the developing fetus. We at Belly Bliss receive many requests for classes that take a holistic approach to dealing with all the various aspects related to pregnancy and labor. Within the Buddhist community, pregnancy is also an auspicious time for both mom and developing baby, and Bhante Sujatha has graciously agreed to offer a meditation class that will teach a balance for the expecting mom, both physically and mentally. Through this class, please be prepared to learn the art of self love and breathing meditation. The first will develop the love for the mother, reducing her stress, and extending that love to the developing baby. The second meditation, or breath meditaion, will teach the mother to stay in tune with her breathing cycle, gaining awareness to what physical sensations and mental activity do to the breath. If you’ve ever wondered how to approach “pain management” during labor, this will be an excellent technique to learn as the breath is directly connected to the relaxation (or lack thereof) of the body. More importantly, Bhante will demonstrate how practicing meditation ensures reduction of stress of mother, positive development of the baby, and better immunity for both. It has also been proven that pregnant women, who meditate regulalrly, experience less pain during labor and are happier and healthier during gestation and delivery. Whether you are currently expecting or thinking of conceiving (or even if you’re just interested in meditation) please join us for this special occassion! Bhante Sujatha is an easy-going teacher, who’s presence is a joy to be around. Please wear comfortable, loose fitting clothes, and bring any questions you might have with you! This is your time to prepare, educate, and provide the positive love you wish for yourself and your almost new little bundle of joy!

*Class fee is $15. Please register ahead of time. Chairs are provided for those who can’t sit on the floor.
