“There is a simple but powerful African prayer that can be recited to remind you of this: Let us take care of our children, for they have a long way to go. Let us take care of our elders, for they have come a long way. Let us take care of those”
Yana Cortlund, Mother Rising: The Blessingway Journey into Motherhood

“By investing some time in the powerful and positive visions of birth as a “blessed event,” the reality of it being marvelous begins to grow into being. Cultural habits are strong, so it takes time for new patterns and pathways to emerge. As more women work to create a new vision of birth, one in which we are fully present, the cultural habits around pregnancy and childbirth will eventually shift with us and new traditions will be made.”
Yana Cortlund, Mother Rising: The Blessingway Journey into Motherhood

“A mother-to-be is often bombarded with tales of horror throughout her pregnancy, so make a concerted effort not to bring them into your sacred space.”
Yana Cortlund, Mother Rising: The Blessingway Journey into Motherhood
