In Einstein theory of gravity the initial configuration of metric field and its time derivative are related to matter configuration by four equations called constraints. We use the method of conformal metrics (York Method) to solve constraints and find an analytic set of consistent initial data for linearized Einstein field equations in a perturbed constant curvature space-time. They are explicitly covariant and more compact than decomposition of quantities to scalar, vector and tensor. This method is independent of type and physics of matter fields and is extendable to higher-order perturbative calculations. As an application example, we apply this method to two commonly used matching conditions during a phase transition and compare and interpret the results.
