As you become more fully pregnant, heavier, more rooted to the earth you may be experiencing your body in a way different to ever before especially if this is your first pregnancy, your needs, desires for food and rest ect are becoming more instinctual more animal indeed humans are very close to animals, and no more so than babies.
At times during history religions have sought to disassociate from this simple truth that we are our body and more besides. Adam and Eve saw themselves as naked and were afraid, the Buddha is said to have practiced body denial through fasting for 6 years but only after this time saw enlightenment and the sons of the Greek Earth goddess Gaia are killed by Zeus and Apollo and so on and so on.
Massage gives us the chance to forget the day-to-day and sometimes noisy chatter of our minds and simply be in our bodies, it helps you find some quiet time to reflect on your pregnancy and birth to come. Massage as well as being deeply relaxing during pregnancy can help to alleviate back pains, water retention and sooth your and body after all that is who you are……..
