Is Your Motherhood Sacred?

What is sacred motherhood to you?

Or is it even sacred? 

Have you ever considered all the seemingly insignificant acts or puzzle pieces that had to come together in order for your child to come into being, let a known be birthed into this world?

Try to imagine all the interactions and connections that had to take place prior to you meeting the man that you would create life with?

Now imagine meeting the man and all the physiological processes, environments, hormones and actions that had to take place before that one single, expedient moment of conception?

Think of all the emotions, all the work, all the fights, all the love, all the understanding, all the conversations and build up that had to occur?

Not to mention, once conception has taken place all the processes, the proper nutrients and care and forming of actual bones and limbs and organs and cells that had to come together at just the right moments over and over and over again during pregnancy for your child to go from egg to fetus to Baby?

Then comes birth, the trust, the knowing, the guidance, the support, the patience, the physical exertion that has to take place for your Baby to simply exit your womb? And maybe I shouldn’t use it simply because it’s far from that.

I don’t even need to go into postpartum or breastfeeding and mothering or even the spiritual aspect of the Soul actually entering your womb and your child’s fetus in order for it to animate and come to life. Hopefully, by now, if you haven’t pondered it before, you are realizing the magnitude that is the ENTIRE journey into Motherhood.

Or did you just think it was something that happens and is a mundane everyday thing like peeing on the toilet multiple times a day?

Something to be taken for granted?

Something that always happens for everyone?

Something we don't value as much as we do a job or career or home or even marriage.

I mean we prepare for, study to become experts for the former but how do we hold space for the divine act of gestation, of creation, of birth, of Motherhood.

How long were you studying up on birth before getting pregnant? How many cleanses and detoxes did you do to ensure optimal pregnancy health? What inner healing did you undergo to vibrate at your highest possible frequency? How were you nourishing and moving your body?

What did you do when you found out?

Did you take the time to gently cleanse your physical and energetic being? Did you start the inner work of healing your mother and father wounds? Did you take the time to understand and alchemize your shadow Self? To raise your vibration? To set up boundaries and protect your peace? Did you do the hard work of self-healing to make sure your child was birthed in the highest physical and spiritual environment possible?

If you weren't able to answer any of the questions about preparing for the journey into motherhood, I would invite you to pause, process and ask yourself what is truly sacred to you? What do you ultimately value?

Too many times, in our western society, we value the very things that take away our quality of life, that take us away from feeling like we're living a life fulfilled. Speaking from experience, I was doing the same thing valuing material things that were cutting my life short.

But my daughter came and disrupted that. She forced me to stop and re-eVALUate what it means to be living, what I've been called to do and what I need to be fulfilled and she still is. But I would have completely missed out on this, if I weren't intentional about making my journey into Motherhood, transformative, life changing, spiritual...about making it a sacred rite of passage into the highest form of womanhood.

Something I have to continually choose to do each and every day.

Do I fall short and forget to? Abso-FREAKIN’-lutely.

But do I let mySelf continually forget and let my Motherhood, my daughter’s childhood become trivial and mundane? Abso-FREAKIN’-lutely NOT.

She chose me for a reason. I agreed to this for a reason, before we both came into this physical being. I will do everything in my power to never forget that and honor this divine blessing which is my daughter, which is mySelf, which is Motherhood. And it is my intention for every offering that is birthed through Naturealness Birth to aid you, Mama, in realizing the divine blessing, protection and gift that is Motherhood from conception through Motherhood.

That is why I am going to be launching two offerings in my birth month, one to aid you in doing so physically and one to aid you in doing so emotionally, mentally and energetically. All the while in community, in sisterhood, in Motherhood with other like minded, fellow Mamas.
