Swaddling ceremony 🌹 is an incredible gift for our feminine psyche and body!! It is a blessing in the world of rushing, living in the head and sensory system overload 🙏
🧿 It starts with cacao we cook together (very easy, unique and delicious) and building Mandala of Life that gives expression to your hopes, dreams and frustrations at the moment. This process gives us an experience of being deeply seen and celebrated, as is. It puts you in touch with your truth and feelings in a very visceral way, unlocking the wisdom and guidance for the desired future
🌊 Then we float into the realm of water 🌊
Here at Encounterland, we have a wooden barrel sauna and a cold plunge filled with the water from rains and well. Soaking heat, having your body be warmed and petted with eucalyptus or rosemary bunches we grow here is absolutely incredible 🥰 it cleanses the physical, mental and emotional bodies, and prepares you for the final step - massage and swaddling
🧖♀️ So here you are, drifting out from few hours of feeling deeply heard and taken care of with so much love. Soul and body smile. This is when full body massage takes place. You choose your essential oil, rebozos for swaddling are ready underneath the blanket. After the massage you will be wrapped.
🛌 It is often a big surprise for my clients how soothing being swaddled is. Often people fall asleep 😴 and sometimes stay in for an hour - yes, yes... back in the womb, now with conscious choice of when to come out. The rule is - when you wish to be unwrapped (yes, like a prescious gift 🤗🎀) you just tell me. What do I do when you are in? I sit in meditation and prayer for your dreams to come true, soul and body to feel renewed.
I do not know how long it will take for this ancient practice to be researched, but for centuries medicine women and midwives have used this healing art form for a deep regulation of nervous system and release of traumatic experiences from the body.
I wish every person on the planet to experience swaddling 🙏❤️
