What is a Rebozo closing ceremony and why should do one
While during pregnancy our bodys and our minds are required to expand, during post-partum there is a need to close our physical bodies and re-define ourselves as this new entity that is being a mother.
The closing of the bones, allows the time and space to address the physical and the spiritual/psychological aspects of this journey.
Although, originally set to happen after the first 40 days postpartum, in reality, this ceremony can be used in any time of your life that you feel the need to carve some space to honor, reflect or come to terms with, and it is not uncommon that this ritual is also used when woman have a hysterectomy, come to the end of their breastfeeding journey, or at the end of a marriage, miscarriage or battling an illness, whatever the reason, you are worthy of honoring yourself this way.
