40 Day Blessing
The forty days after birth are significant for the mother and child, as they adjust their subtle, emotional and physical energies. Yogic tradition and numerous family-oriented cultures around the globe honor and nurture them both during these first six weeks. These sacred days set the tone for a comforting and caring relationship among the child and the family, and rejuvenate the mother for breastfeeding, and child care.
Recipe - Sautéed Almonds
Yogis recommend that women eat 8 to 10 sautéed almonds (unpeeled) before breakfast during the forty days after birthing or when they are menstruation.
“He was inside where he was warm, cozy, and well contained. He came out and now he needs that touch, that feeling, that oneness within the nine feet of your aura. You are a modern woman. You want to go to a movie theater. When a child is born, you must stick with him for forty days and for two years you and your husband must keep him near the, breast and the chest. That the most darling God born in innocence to two people who believed in love.”
- Yogi Bhajan
