went into it as I would read the book so I could pass the information on to younger mothers since the topic was not relevant to me (I’m 43 and past my childbearing years). Yet I thoroughly enjoyed this book on so many different levels, from the art work, the colors of the pages, to the topics and content.
When going through the book the artwork of different women was just amazing to see their joy with not only their pregnancy but with their bodies. I think for many women who struggle with body image these pictures will be very empowering and uplifting. The pictures of nature brought to mind how the mother earth supports us and when women are with child there is that call to go back to the earth to feel supported as well as our role to support Mother Nature. There are books where you read where all cold, sterile white paper is used; this book used colored glossy pages which were just so comforting and visually calming. From a monetary stand point I do know that white paper would have been cheaper, yet I’m glad Anni splurged and printed her writing on thick, glossy and colored paper.
With my son being almost 19 years old I did not think the topics would be helpful to me since at this point there was nothing I could do about the thoughts I had before he was born. And I won’t say I was resentful for having this on my to do list yet it was not a high priority, since I could not go back in time. However, that soon changed for me as I got a few weeks into the book! I know at the beginning I did not think one could go back in time and I’ve even wrote that down but I was wrong. I did not have any journals and frankly I did not have that many memories of the time I was pregnant with Caleb due to the way my life at that time was. Yet reading this book I was amazed at the issues that came up for me and how more in depth my journal writing has been on these topics. Week 24 on having a boy sparked a great talk with my son over a nice dinner out for just the two of us. And with that I feel it has drawn us a little closer to each other.
I believe that with the beauty of the book (again woo hoo for the artwork and paper) more women will be drawn to this book and the Sacred Living Movement. Any woman can go to their local bookstore and find books on pregnancy and what happens week by week. Yet none of these books bring the spirit to the womb. Which is something this book does from page one to the very last. I believe that the more we can get this book and the Sacred Living Moment into the hands of women the more self-empowerment we can show other women that they have. Self love, self education and a return to their spirit will also come from this book and with that I believe that we can change lives of women for the better.
One more area I feel would improve with the spreading of this work is if we have informed, loving and empowered women I believe that we can then make some real and improved changes in how we view birth in this country. Pregnant women can change the way their doctors, hospitals and other family members think and how they see a woman with child.
Again I loved this book and what it brought to me so that bring this message to other women. Even with my being post childbearing age I will always keep this sacred work on my alter at home as well as the writings and feelings behind the words in my heart. I believe this book and the Sacred movement behind it will bring beauty, comfort and joy to women worldwide that only another woman can bring.
