Magandhree Naidoo Baby Shower
We recently captured a baby shower with a difference for Magandhree in Midrand.
We had a first hand look into the traditions and practices of the Indian culture and we were fascinated.
Here are some extra facts on this momentous occasion:
The Blessing Way
The Blessing Way is a way for a pregnant woman and her close friends to mark and celebrate her transition into motherhood. Unlike a Baby Shower, which is more baby and gift focused, the Blessing Way is a sacred gathering centered upon the pregnant woman, giving her focused nourishing attention and support. Blessing Ways often include a sharing circle where participants bring small gifts and heart-felt wishes for the mum-to-be, a creative activity and a nurturing activity. It is a space where the mum-to-be can share her hopes, fears and dreams and feel supported and activated to go on into her birthing time.
The Blessing Way ritual is inspired by American Indian traditions, in which family and tribe bless any significant endeavor. The participants at a Blessing Way would pray for the help of spiritual forces to safely guide the recipient on their path, and would offer their prayers and symbolic gifts of power and meaning. This ritual was a way to ceremonially mark significant transitions in life, in a spiritual and meaningful way.
Enjoy the preview!
