If you've been followin this blog, you'd already know by now that my doula-to-Maya, Irina Otmakhova of Conscious Birth Manila and I have been organizing Sacred Pregnancy Conscious Birth and Sacred Postpartum Workshops and Retreats. I always look forward to these because it is a chance to reconnect and regain the feminine power, to practice healing rituals and feel the vibrational energies of positive like-minded women doing some magic to each other!
My most favorite ritual (so far) is the Rebozo Sealing Ceremony which is done during the Sacred Post-Partum workshop.
First, the mother is given a heated oil massage by her kindred sisters to help release any tension. See this lucky mom getting a once-in-lifetime experience of 10 hands massage.
And then, Irina supports and lifts and binds different parts using the Rebozo to help seal the energy and physical body. See the rice sacks outside the mother's arms? This is also heated in the rice cooker so that mother can really feel right and secure with the binds and sacks by her side. It's really a wonderful feeling being there tucked with organs being encouraged to come back into place after carrying your baby for 10 moons and birthing your baby!
After minutes of silence or being struck a few inches above the body with the singing bowl for vibrational healing, we slowly open the binds and give the mother words of encouragement on her path to wholeness ❤️
If you would like to experience this for yourself in a group or private setting, please get in touch with Irina at consciousbirthmanila@gmail.com
