The practice of celebrating pregnancy and the birth of a new mother
transcends almost all human cultures. Different than a baby shower
which focuses on the baby, a Blessingway ceremony helps a woman
prepare mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for labor, birth, and
motherhood.
During a Blessingway the mother-to-be is surrounded by the most
important women in her life who help to create a sacred space where
she gains a sense of her feminine power and confidence. The
Blessingway ceremony allows the woman to open to her instinctive
abilities which will guide her through childbirth and her new role as
Mother.
Blessingways can be personalized based on your beliefs and spiritual
practice. They can be elaborate including many components or
simple including just a few. During the ceremony the mother can be
pampered with a massage, honored with a belly cast, or decorated
with a henna design on her beautiful belly. Guests can participate in
telling inspiring stories, making a special bracelet for mother or
baby, or presenting her with special gifts. The ceremony can be
performed indoors or outdoors.
To assist you in planning this special celebration, I offer you a step
by step guide with ideas and suggestions to help you personalize the
event. I can also facilitate or co-facilitate the ceremony if you so
desire.
