Closing the Bones
A ritual to honor the transitions of life.
A traditional Mexican closing ritual using rebozo. Rebozo are scarves made by woman, for woman, to be used in offerings by women.
Traditionally this ritual is performed as of forty days after giving birth.
A Closing the Bones is not only for women that gave physical birth. Also for women that had to let go of their baby, had pregnancy loss, or underwent an emotional challenging time in their lives. The ritual is truly for closing a chapter in your life, and returning to a new energy.
A ritual to honor transitions.
Firstly we come together to set an intention, to give words or expression to how this experience was for you. After this I facilitate a pelvic steam for you with herbs specifically chosen for you, or alternatively an herbal foot bath.
After this follows an herbal oil massage, with warm oils. Supporting the nervous system, helping the physical and energetic body to come back to balance and harmony.
The holding, and the returning to.
After this you get clothed again and we continue with the rebozo massage. Seven rebozos are used in a rhythmic way, closing the body on the head, chest, belly, hips and legs. Women often describe this experience as being in a womb. Truly being held and cared for.
This ritual can be performed at your place or at mine. With or without your baby. With somebody loving there for you to help you with your baby while you receive this ritual. Whatever feels most nourishing for you during this time.
