Spiritual Pregnancy
Develop, Nurture & Embrace the Journey to Motherhood
Filled with unique insights into the spiritual nature of pregnancy, this compassionate guide takes you, the expectant mother, and your loved one's along the "hero's journey" of pregnancy. Each trimester correlates a stage of the epic journey where emotional, spiritual, and physical connections heighten your awareness of yourself and your unborn child. Through these stages, then mundane and everyday are elevated to the sublime and transformative.
With the extensive training and experience in allopathic wellness and integrative mind-body medicine, Shawn Tassone and Kathryn Landherr have created a book full of guided meditations, journalling exercises, and spiritual traditions from a variety of cultures. Spiritual Pregnancy also includes yoga postures created by popular doula and pregnant-fit yoga instructor Jennifer (Wolfe) More for specific times throughout pregnancy.
