Closing the Bones is a traditional postpartum ritual. It’s best known from its South American culture origins, but versions of it exist(ed) in every continent including in Europe and other parts of the world too. It holds space for the body, mind and spirit to come back into balance. Closing the Bones uses gentle rocking movements using scarves, wrapping, and symbolic ritual. In my version, I also use texts, songs, energy healing and sound, etc. Rooted in traditions from all over the world, this ritual has helped women through the changes of motherhood for centuries.
