REBOZO CEREMONY
A powerful way to close the intense physical and emotional upheaval of pregnancy and birth in a woman’s body.
This intimate wrap ritual is traditionally performed on mothers to close the 40 days postpartum period. The Rebozo ceremony is also often referred to as ‘Closing the bones ritual’. As the name reveals already it is a literal way to seal the bones that have become wider and more flexible, especially in the hips, during pregnancy and birth.
Which not only creates a less toned pelvic floor, it also has an influence on your emotional state which is often more sensitive and quickly influenced by your environment.
This ritual reconnects you to your core, it strengthens your alignment and gives you back your sense of Self.
This ceremony calls upon the 4 elements, water, earth, air and fire. A postpartum woman should stay warm at all times so that the healing property of heat can be integrated.
