Holy Earth Mama
YOU are a vessel of light and love. You carry a hope, a promise, a heart and a soul.
As a mama myself I know that these 9 months are filled with every emotion, wish, fear,
thought, (hormone), and most physical sensations too. It's a powerful and beautiful time,
with every day we grow nearer to meeting a new being who will change our lives forever
and begin their journey into the wondrous world.
when my third baby was born into the water, powerfully, overwhelmingly and with magical force, I started Water Birth Israel so that other mamas could have the gift of a truly strong, supportive and professional birthing pool. Now I am watching her grow and as the days have passed I started to imagine and create and dream about what kinds of things a mama could use and benefit from during this amazing time.
organic oils to stimulate and soothe the senses . glowing candle light to dream, labour and rest . our favourite songs playing and dancing through our ears helping us move more naturally and breathe more rhythmically . mothers, sisters, grandmothers, aunts, cousins and of course, dear friends, offering words of love and wisdom, supportive arms and listening hearts . positive affirmations to empower . fairy lights to keep our senses calm in labour so that our deep inner knowledge, the wordless truth of our body, can speak out and lead us through to birthing . the beauty of a 'positive birthing circle' and how it lifts us as we travel the end few days and weeks of carrying our babies and transition into motherhood .

On Children
Kahlil Gibran
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
