Closing of the Bones: A Traditional Yucatec Maya Postpartum Ceremony
Once postpartum, always postpartum.
If you have ever been pregnant, miscarried, or chosen abortion- you are postpartum! And if you haven’t yet had a Closing of the Bones ceremony- this post is for you!
*The magic and profound healing that takes place in a Closing of the Bones ceremony brings closure and healing to any pregnancy or birth event.
DURING LABOR, OUR SPIRIT TRAVELS TO THE EDGES OF THE UNIVERSE AND BACK TO RETRIEVE OUR BABY AND BIRTH THEM INTO THE WORLD.
From the moment of conception on, major spiritual, physical, emotional & mental shifts take place within us. No matter the outcome, these changes effect us and we need a formal ceremonial container to mark the closure of this process when it is complete.
Physically, our bones open to let our babies through. There is also a vast spiritual opening that happens during pregnancy and the birthing process. In sacred space, supported by our loved ones, this ceremony a potent way to close the portal and anchor in your new and current reality.
A Closing of the Bones Ceremony is not only beneficial after a full term labor, but also after abortion & miscarriage, and is profoundly healing even years later. *I have recently done multiple Closing of the Bones ceremonies for folks who are 7+ years postpartum!
You will especially benefit if you feel lingering energy that needs healing, tending, and closure. This ceremony is a powerful rite of passage that has expansive benefits for your life.
