CLOSING OF THE BONES
An Innate Cross-Cultural, Postpartum Practice
Closing of the Bones is done with a woven hand-made natural fabric scarf, called Rebozo, meaning "an extension of loving hands". The ceremony originates from the old Mexican, Moroccan, and Slavic midwife traditions. These cultures acknowledged the altered state of consciousness the woman goes through during childbirth.
Childbirth is the most energetically charged place from which the relationship with your child is built. The woman opens up on a bodily and energetic level, to let the baby out and stays "open" after childbirth. She "splits," loses her integrity, and needs to be put back together again.
Rebozo massage is a gentle, and very effective technique based on rocking, vibration, twisting, light stretching, and compression. In the embrace of it, you will feel calm, safe, and warm, and your body and mind will relax. Applied in an atmosphere of a ceremony, you will be able to live the Birth again, accept and release the weight of it if you had unmet expectations and move into the Matriarch’s Rite of Passage.
Closing of the Bones is recommended to all women who have had traumatic experiences and fears related to pregnancy and childbirth, even if they were decades ago.
