This weekend I threw a Blessingway (kind of like a spiritual baby shower) for my good friend and business partner! She is 34 weeks pregnant with her first child. Her close friends came over and we had a circle to give her our blessings and love for her journey into motherhood. It was really beautiful. Then a friend of mine who is a henna tattoo artist came over to tattoo mama’s belly. Isn’t this beautiful??!!
Then the ladies there had their hands done too. The henna paste comes off after ~a day and there is a stain from the henna that is left. The tattoos can last anywhere from 2-4 weeks, so now when we look at our hands we will stop for a second to send mama good birthing energy. Cool, eh?
beautiful!
Very beautiful! I envy her…
Beautifyl work and a wonderfully thoughtful time with friends.
Wow! That is a work of art!!!! I love it!
I’d love to get the contact info of that henna artist. That’s exquisite work!
Meh.
Oh that is so pretty. I love the design you choose. Is she having a boy? Her belly looks like she is carrying a boy.
Haha!! Yes, she is having a boy! How can you tell?
awesome
What effect does this have on the baby, i imagine it would be soothing? I know from my sisters pregnancy that when you played some music she would dance (the baby, and my sister!!). It is beautiful work, I am studying Fine Art in South Africa, I am from Scotland, and we are doing a project on tattoos. I did a search in google for spiritual tattoos and your came up, I really like it so I want to print it out and show my class, it wont be used for anything other than reference, i like te energy you are creating here so I hope me using that energy and sharing it is cool with you.
I hope all goes well with the baby, if he is born then I wish him well and to you all.
Keep smilin
