As it is linked to the Crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. Amethyst has a gently sedative energy that can promote peacefulness, happiness, and contentment. Jade is a balancing stone, promoting love, peace and wisdom, healing and stability. It is known for relieving anxiety and calming the mind. Turtle symbolizes fertility, longevity and good fortune. Makes a wonderful gift for someone wishing for a baby, pregnant, breastfeeding, or working in the birth-related occupation. Perfect as a thank-you gift for a midwife, a doula, or an obstetrician. Can be used in a Red Tent or a Croning ceremony as well. Mother’s Blessing (or Blessingway, or Blessing Way) refers to honouring a pregnant mama. Whereas a baby shower focuses on the baby and on giving gifts to the baby, the Blessingway is held to shower the mother with love and understanding from other women. One of the most well-known Blessingway traditions is making a necklace for the mama. As part of the ceremony, each woman brings with her a bead and strings it on a cord, while sharing words of wisdom and love with the mama-to-be. Together the Blessingway beads make a necklace from which the pregnant mama can draw strength throughout the last weeks of her pregnancy and in labour.
