Feng Shui Mommy

Impending motherhood is a confused cocktail of heroic strength and terrifying vulnerability. Our culture has seized on the "vulnerability" part of this experience and tends to reinforce a pregnant woman's insecurities and sense that they're out of their league or somehow "at risk" simply by virtue of being pregnant. Instead of being encouraged to embrace this most natural time and trust their bodies, their intuition, and their own mind, they're encouraged to seek guidance from the medical experts, who focus only on the physical aspects, or unsolicited advice from friends and family (even strangers) that is often ill-informed or just plain scary. But, what about the subtle (and not so subtle) shifts in emotions, spirit, and mental experience of being a new mother? Those are often left out of the conversation. Feng Shui Mommy is all about helping the pregnant woman build her own, individual epic journey to motherhood. It's about supporting her while she shores-up her mind-body-spirit alignment so she can best handle the cosmic kick in the uterus and juicy kiss on the soul she received when that sperm scored the sweet spot within her waiting egg. Adopting the principles and philosophy of Feng Shui, the Chinese philosophy of a connected inner and outer harmony, this book guides the reader to her balanced center and supports her in tapping into the primal energies brought forth by the birth experience. Bailey helps her cultivate a rock-steady, feminine, holistic sense of self, allowing her to explore the wonder of her pregnancy with the energy of true expectant joy, stepping into new motherhood with her vitality, health, and appetite for adventure intact.
