Blessingway
Mothering as a rite of passage
Traditionally a Navajo ritual created to spiritually support and empower the new mother for her journey of birthing and motherhood, this beautiful ritual has been adapted as an alternative to baby showers, where the focus tends to be more on the gifts and the baby, rather than on the mother and her experience. Some women choose to have both a baby shower and a Blessingway since the celebrations are so different from each other. A Blessingway will often include sharing positive birth stories, inspiring poems for the mothers journey ahead, henna art on the pregnant mamas belly and on guests hands, pampering the guest of honor with foot baths, massages and loys of blessings, songs and prayers.
