Closing of the bones
"Thanks To the ancient ones, those who have kept the wisdom of Sacred Cycles alive long enough for us to remember them once more..."
​Life has many cycles for women. Being pregnant and giving birth is one of the biggest ones. This year of conception, carrying, birthing and recuperating in the fourth trimester is one heck of a journey.
Closing those bones that have expanded so rapidly during the nine months that you were carrying your baby. Closing them physically, energetically and spiritually. And the allowing yourself to be reborn.​
And it doesn’t matter if you’re still young on your motherhood journey, it doesn’t matter if you didn’t get your period back yet, it doesn’t even matter how many years postpartum you are, gifting yourself a ceremony will be a huge healing present.
What to expect from the ceremony?
The core of each ceremony is the same, but the energy and unique gifts of the different women who come to support you will make it one of a kind.
The ceremony will work best with at least 3 other women coming to support and hold space for you.
​​
We welcome everyone to the space, collect gifts and food and build a small altar to honour you and your ancestor.
We gather special herbs, oils, bath salts and flowers that your space holders brought and put them all to the boil, while we ground, welcoming ourselves to the space, introducing ourselves, setting boundaries and listening to the mother telling her story.
We fill the bath and add our beautiful herbs and salts.
We let the mother soak in the bath, while we enter, one by one to wash her and give her words of wisdom and love.
​
You can stay with a top on, there is no need to be naked if you feel unconfortable.
We can even replace the bath with a foot bath.
After the bath we begin the massage. first on the tummy, giving energy while releasing any knots and tension.
I use a beautiful oil blend designed for healing, releasing and loving.
We always massage inwards, closing and bringing the energy back to you.
Massage on the belly will be done by the facilitator who has trained in doing it.
It is a deep tissue massage that will release all the neglected knots that stay in your belly after pregnancy or holding trauma.
After massaging we wrap. Wrapping is done in a traditional way. Before we wrap each section of the body, we move the energy with the scarf or the rebozo.
You are welcome to bring any fabrics that mean a lot to you.
Being wrapped and help like this is strong and meaningful. A lot of emotions and realisations might come up.
​
While the mother is wrapped, and according to her wishes, we can give energy, healing, cleanse, read out loud. It will all be received.
When the mother feels ready, we can welcome back babies and family members and feast together to nourish also our physical bodies.
For the mother to be in her best quiet mind, we tend to not have babies in the space. However, if the mother is breastfeeding or needs to have her baby close by for any other reason, we will work around it. Making sure both mother and baby are held.
