120th Day of Pregnancy

Sending Love on the Eve of Mother’s Day 2011!

I hope this email finds each one of you healthy, at peace, and happy. I am writing with a request of some sort, if you can call it that.

Over the last few years as I have been learning more about Kundalini yoga and the Sikh traditions. I have been led to a path that involves more meditation, breath work and conscious living. It has been life changing and has brought me so much comfort, joy, grace and relief over the last couple years as a new mom. Something that I have learned as I have looked deeper into pregnancy, childbirth and connecting with my bab(ies) is that many different religions or spiritual paths believe that the soul enters into the body of the unborn baby around the 120th day of pregnancy, from the time of conception. People that honor this, spend those 120 days meditating on the soul of the baby that will join their family. I have been doing a meditation every (almost:))day to welcome in whatever soul is choosing to join hands and hearts with Spencer, Gavin and myself. On the 120th day, people usually gather somewhere to be with the pregnant woman to honor her as a mother and to meditate and welcome the soul that is entering the body. A blessingway of some sort to the soul and baby.

As much as I would have loved to have had a celebration on my 120th day with everyone together, that just won’t happen due to time and space. But I thought it would be special if on my 120th day of pregnancy, which happens to be Mother’s Day!!….. you would send some sort of a little (or big:) prayer or thought or meditation out to my baby and his or her soul? Whatever comes to mind for you….maybe you want to write or send out hopes and dreams, give a little welcome to this soul, say a prayer, or play a song.

You are an important part in my life if you are reading this. I’m sorry that I don’t have time to make each email personal. But please know that if you got this, you are so special to me and my family and I admire you in all sorts of ways. And it would be an honor to me and this soul/baby to receive a blessing from you.

Happy Mothers Day to each one of you….whether you have had a child or not- you are a mother in some way or form.

Much love and light, Emily
