From my own experiences I have noticed that motherhood changes everything. Our routines, our priorities, our bodies and often, our nervous systems.
Many mums I speak to aren’t looking for perfection or productivity hacks. They’re looking for calm, patience, and a way to show up more present for their children, especially on the hard days.
That’s why I was drawn to Unity Meditations, a weekly live group meditation that focuses not just on inner peace, but on creating positive change that ripples into family life and parenting.
At Healthy Mum and Bub, I believe caring for mums is one of the most powerful ways we care for children.
When a mum feels grounded and emotionally supported, it shows up in how she responds, how she listens, and how she connects.
Why Meditation Matters So Much for Mums
Parenting places constant demands on our attention and emotions. Over time, this can lead to chronic stress, reactivity, and burnout, even when we love our children deeply.
Meditation helps by:
Regulating the nervous system Reducing stress and emotional overload Creating space between trigger and response Supporting patience and emotional resilience
When mums feel calmer, they’re more able to respond gently instead of reacting automatically. That shift alone can change the tone of an entire household.
The Power of Group Meditation
What makes Unity Meditations special is the collective element.
In 1993, a well-known study in Washington D.C. observed that when around 4,000 people meditated together, the city experienced a 23% reduction in violent crime. This research is often referred to as the Maharishi Effect, suggesting that collective meditation can influence social behaviour and harmony.
For mums, this idea is incredibly empowering. It reframes self-care from something that feels “selfish” into something deeply generational.
When we care for our inner world, we influence the emotional environment our children grow up in.
What Unity Meditations Looks Like in Real Life
Unity Meditations hosts weekly live guided sessions on Zoom, making it easy to join from home, during nap time, school hours, or after bedtime.
Each session centres on a nurturing theme such as:
- Compassion
- Gratitude
- Unity
- World Peace
You don’t need prior meditation experience. The sessions are gentle, guided, and welcoming, which makes them especially supportive for mums who feel overwhelmed or “out of practice.”
I also love the sliding-scale pricing ($2–$10), which makes it accessible for families and aligns beautifully with the inclusive values many mums care about.
How This Supports Parenting
When mums meditate regularly — especially in a supportive group setting — many notice:
- More emotional regulation during challenging moments
- Greater patience with their children
- Less guilt around taking time for themselves
- A deeper sense of purpose and connection
Children don’t need perfect parents. They need regulated, present, emotionally available ones. Practices like Unity Meditations support exactly that.
A Gentle Invitation for Mums
If you’ve been craving a way to feel calmer, more centred, and more connected — both within yourself and in your parenting — Unity Meditations is a beautiful place to start.
