A Mother’s
Blessing
When a woman chooses to step onto the path of motherhood for the first, second or sixth time, a remarkable transition begins, weaving one chapter of life to the next. During this time it is important to create intentional ceremonies to honor this powerful shift: rituals that honor and support a woman's physical, emotional and spiritual growth alongside her growing child.
We will help guide you in planning your Mother’s Blessing.
You can hold your ceremony in a field, at a village hall, in someone’s lounge room, in your garden or here at Maternal Traditions. Almost any space will work, though ideally choose one that has good energy, is quiet, and has lots of natural light. You can even get everyone to bring a throw and cushion to make the space super cosy. You can also get everyone to bring an ‘offering’ like a flower or a crystal to create a mandala for the centre of the circle. Use your imagination and let’s get creative.
Mother’s Blessing focuses on honouring the mother and holding space for her as she embarks on this incredible life changing rite of passage and transitions from maiden to mother. The underlying intention is to fill her with love, strength, support and encouragement as she embarks on this special journey. We shall open the circle with a beautiful guided meditation to bring all our energy together. Encouraging everyone to open their heart and visualise sending you and your baby so much love. Guiding everyone and helping them to visualise love pouring out of their heart and into yours. We then use this beautiful energy for each member to add their herb, flower, crystal or intentions into your Epsom salts. The infused salt is then given to the mother to use after birth to soak in your blessings and heal. Creating the salts for your Mother’s Blessing is a beautiful ritual and a profound experience for all. The energy in salt in stored ready for you to bathe in after birth and heal you from the inside out.

How we mother and how we are treated during motherhood, pregnancy, birth and postpartum, ripples out into our future and the future life of our child. It sets the stage for whether our lives will be coloured by fear, stress and isolation, or calm, confidence and connection.
A Mother Blessing intentionally weaves a web of loving care around the pregnant woman, imbuing her with an energy that will carry her forward into her postpartum days. The mother blessing is distinct from a baby shower in that the focus is solely on the mother. The ceremony is held with pure intention: to honour the sanctity of life in motion. We all come from mother. We all return to mother earth. When we honour the mother, we honour everything that is.
