-
- Opvoeding
How can tuning into the natural rhythms of nature transform your journey through matrescence?
In this episode of the Slow Postpartum Podcast, we delve into the slow living concept of seasonal living and how it can be applied to the childbirth year. Drawing parallels between the natural seasons and the stages of conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I share insights on how aligning with these rhythms can lead to a more intentional and restful perinatal experience.
I also talk about the importance of recognizing the need for rest and rejuvenation in the postpartum season of ‘wintering’ as well as offering practical tips for incorporating these ideas into daily life.
In this episode:
Introduction to the concept of seasonal living through the lens of slow living.
The benefits of aligning our lives with the natural seasons.
The meaning of each season and what phase of matrescence it symbolises.
The significance of deep rest and recovery during your postpartum ‘wintering’.
How to tune into the menstrual cycle and lunar phases for energy management.
Practical tips for aligning your childbirth year into the seasons and incorporating slow living into the postpartum period
