It
happens to be a holiday, so I am off work! Today I am contemplating
how to unprogram the cultural pictures I have about birth. I am
think that some meditation and energy work are in order. Stay tuned
...
As
to the physical, my goals for the day are to work on my “Labor
Comfort Kit.” I have some of the items, some parts to make, and
some to choose. Here is the plan:
A
hand-made
zippered pouch out of fabric that I love (probably from fabrics
that belonged to my mother, that way some of her energy will be
there), which will contain:
- Hand-made lavender eye pillow – stuffed with organic lavender and buckwheat hulls
- Bach Rescue Remedy diluted with water in a spray bottle
- Motherlove birth & baby oil – it contains apricot oil and lavender flower, and should work for aromatherapy and for massage
- Aloe and echinacea facial cleansing towelettes
- Crystals – I have yet to choose some of my favorite crystals for use as focal points during labor. I want to look into how the energy of different crystals affect labor and birth.
- iPod music and meditation selection
So,
here are the all the components for the zippered pouch and eye
pillow:
I
also want to do some more research about whether or not binaural beat
audio meditations can be effective during labor.
Off
to the creation room to work on the sewing projects!
An
hour or so later... I have a completed lavender eye pillow:
I basically followed the tutorial in the above link. In the tutorial the author states that getting the pillow into the cover was a little challenging, so I decided to just leave one end open and have it button. It works perfectly!
Once I have finished the zippered pouch I will post a picture.
