NOT ONLY FOR BIRTHING HUMAN BABIESâ¦. GOOD FOR SPIRIT BABIES.
One becomes two and two becomes one, each one serving as the root for the other. It contains the meaning of husband and wife. Therefore at the time of zi the first Yang launches and it stirs true water upward to interact with heart. – IChing or book of changesOne does not need to birth a human child to be a new mother. Your journey may be a birth of your inner child. Learning to parent your inner baby is similar in concept to giving birth to a physical baby. In any case, carries the same principles of the gateway. Stated by the author, â A threshold between one world and another. The concept of a pause between chapters may seem strange and foreign. ..it is as natural and needed as the inhale and exhale.â The conscious intention of growing and birthing a new being, like a baby, within yourself takes on many forms. The authorâs core activities of Retreat, Warmth,Support,Rest, Ritual. So important to nourish you in a time of transition. To have a human child, like anything else, requires intention. When the change occurs, it is the ritual that is so important to honor.This book has been a fantastic visual reminder to ritualize my journey of giving birth to a âspirit babyâ. Spirit momâs need care as well. I keep it in a top drawer of the kitchen for quick access when I am feeling the stress of change. It reminds to have tea and reflectâ¦â¦ not be so hard on myselfâ¦.. love my inner child instead of punishing itSo tailor it to your situation. Perhaps every weekend for the next forty days or once a month, you will practice these activities during your 4th trimester â¦. It gives you the opportunity to âwear the babyâ, to Cherish your inner child and outer self. Take time to cook these wonderful nourishing meals to strengthen your earth element and share love with those around you. Maybe it is about getting ready for the arrival of your inner child. Play is so important!The ritual of Chinese medicine is so timeless and very lacking in a society that does not see merit in balance. This book is an indispensable tool for me. This spirit mommy uses her copy often.We all have an inner spirit baby that needs love and attentionâ¦.acknowledging and nourishing is the key to healing and transforming. The arrival of this baby and helping it to flourish starts with you remembering how to be a mother. Mothering ourselves requires the same effort as mothering a human baby. This book builds your center It grounds you. It makes moving this energy upward towards the heavens easier. It is magicwhen you give it a chance.

A beautiful guide for new moms (and those supporting her)
I found this book invaluable for my time postpartum, particularly the recipes. My favorites were specifically the smoothie recipes, I had my husband make me one everyday for the first month after birth. I also appreciated the wisdom of what many cultures do during the first 40 days after birth and what an important and incredible time this is for mothers to nourish themselves, be nourished and heal. I have bought copies for every pregnant friend since reading this. Highly recommend!

Excellent Resource!
I put off reading this book because the reviews were so bad, but Iâm so glad I finally read it! It was such a warming, comforting, honest book. All of the recipes are simple and she tells you where to source everything. Thereâs some specialty ingredients that need to be sourced online or at an Asian grocery store (I grew up visiting those stores with my mother and always find one in each new town I move to), but she makes it very clear that they can be left out of the recipes if you canât find them or donât have them on hand.The authors address womanhood and mothering in a beautiful, empowering way and provide so many ways that you can care for yourself postpartum no matter what your family unit or maternity leave looks like. Theyâve done their best to create an inclusive and affirming book to help you nourish yourself and recover completely, and itâs a favorite reference book of mine now. I highly recommend it and will be handing it to my husband when the time comes!

Beautiful book & much needed for every new mother
I purchased this book before I had my twins as I loved everything it represented. Nourishing the new mother and taking that time to recover is so important! This book dove into other cultures and how they care for new mothers, unlike the US when mothers are expected to be back to normal and running the next day. I am obsessed with all things nutrition, rituals and cooking. This book encased everything I am passionate about and it made me so happy. I have gifted this book to every new mother to be I know. I also make the Gooey Chocolate Brownies & Vanilla Coconut Haystacks for every mother after birth.The book is beautiful and even though my kids are now 4, I keep it on my shelf displayed proudly. I still use some recipes and just appreciate all of the information I find myself still checking it for things. My sister just had a baby a few weeks ago and I read it again as well as gifted her a copy. I showed up with a basket of goodies from the book and the knowledge of how to support her. The first 45 days can be such a beautiful and magic time… this book just makes sure you are intentional.

Good book for natural moms
I didn’t get this book until I had my son and was kindof bummed I didn’t get it sooner. It has a lot of information about your body and such before you go into labor. I love the natural sciences and reading her personal story as well.I will say if you’re in the middle of nowhere like us (northeast Indiana out in the country) some of the ingredients are hard if not impossible to get… I did end up only making one or two recipes from the book but it was a very informative read and if you have someone to get the ingredients for you some of the recipes seemed to be very nourishing
