Pregnancy is a whirlwind of emotions: excitement — fear — hope — anxiety — worry — and back to excitement.

I can’t wait to have a baby in my arms!
Is this really going to happen?
Will the baby be healthy?
Will I miscarry?
Is this normal?
Everything is wonderful!

Pregnancy is also a whirlwind of changing physical symptoms:

Nausea, Heartburn, Indigestion
First Kicks
Shifting and Building Hormones
Insomnia
Glowing One Minute, Crabby and Tired the Next

Add your own personal story:

First time pregnancy, infertility, history of loss, previous pregnancy or labor and birth experience, pregnancy complications

… and you have the conditions for widely varying experiences and emotions, sometimes all in one day, and sometimes even one hour!

Anji, Inc. Gives You Tools to Help

• Even out the emotions surrounding pregnancy and upcoming parenting and motherhood.
• Stop the cycle of fear and worry.
• Give you a chance to connect even more deeply with your baby.
• Partner with you for each phase of your pregnancy — even if you need support at 2:00 AM.
• Give you a specific time of the day when you know with confidence that all really is well with this pregnancy and your baby.

Anji, Inc. Tools

Guided imagery and meditation CDs from Anji make use of the relaxation response — a physiological response in the body.  Regular use of this response stops the cycle of fear and worry, which can exacerbate the physical symptoms of pregnancy.  Regular use of this response also physiologically changes how you react to the stressors in your life, making your day-to-day experience of pregnancy much more positive.

The Journey of the Heart series contains a specific CD for each Trimester of your pregnancy.

Each CD contains a track for each month of your pregnancy.  Each month’s track follows the same basic structure:

• General relaxation.
• Imagery detailing how the baby is growing and changing this month.
• Imagery detailing how YOUR body is growing and changing the month.
• A chance to check in with how you are feeling physically and emotionally.
• Short meditation around an issue that is specific to this month of pregnancy.

Testimonial

I have nothing to say but wonderful things about everything you have done or provided. The CDs have been exceptional during pregnancy and especially with bed rest. I found it difficult to sleep several times during this pregnancy and your CDs were the only thing that actually helped me relax enough to fall asleep. My sister who has a custom made CD for multiples and is now on hospital bed rest also raves about the wonderful imagery that you provide in them. Several nurses have asked her about the CDs, as well, and are quite impressed with them.
I also wanted to let you know my cousin in Milwaukee, WI found some relaxation imagery for women on bed rest you designed and without her knowledge, that I already knew of you, passed your information to me. I just think this is so great you are touching and helping women everywhere. Thank you so much from all my family and especially this little one inside me!
Please continue to do such wonderful work!
