Himali -

Then take good care when you see the things you can do for yourself

in your handbook. Daily self massage, herbs, dietary factors etc.

We can also keep in touch with followup consult/s. The self-care can

make a tremendous difference! I also totally encourage you to sit

down now and make a quick list of your girlfriends with their phone

numbers. Remember it takes a village to raise a child, and this

starts now! Choose your closest friend/s to call and ask their help,

give them the list of others plus the sign-up sheet and cooking tips

for postpartum both of which you can copy from the " Keys " handbook.

 

And remember, this is not a personal issue, or asking for some

pampering. Motherhood is 24/7. It is unavoidably a surrender to

service, WHICH INCLUDES learning how to take care of ourselves to

maintain and enhance your ability to serve in love, health and

wisdom. OK? It is not a personal request, it is about taking care

of Mother Divine on the planet here. It is our responsibility to our

family and community to arrange for these things. Does this make

sense?

 

Remember also once you have looked over the book to open to the pages

for fathers, and ask your husband if he would kindly read it. I find

fathers are very grateful for this information, especially when asked

(ie not told) and the page is open on the table, real easy like (some

dads won't get the 'round tuit otherwise).

 

PS, please feel free to share with everyone your successes and

challenges with the personal recommendations we talked about as you

put them into action.

 

Many Blessings!
