✨Closing of the bones ✨
I’ve recently come across the ‘closing of bones’ tradition and I thought what a beautiful way to support postpartum healing by physically closing
the body after pregnancy and birth.
During the ceremony the body is wrapped in shawls, using the shawls along with massage to release tension and encourage realignment. This also supports closing the pelvis which opens so much during pregnancy and birth.
The mother is given a much needed opportunity to feel nurtured and held in a space where she can thank
her body for all the wonderful work it has done, & release any unresolved emotions.
This ceremony is found in many cultures across the globe for postpartum women…. What a beautiful ceremony to heal & honour.
