Last night we had a nice little party at our house, in honor of the Winter Solstice and the 120th day of pregnancy for my friend, Har Kaur. In yogic tradition, it is believed that around the 120th day is when the soul enters its body in the mother's womb. It is a time to gather and surround the mother with love, blessings, and support as she is the creative vessel for new life.
The Guest of Honor and her son, big brother-to-be, Ananda
Mediterranean potluck feast
The Henna Table - decorating body parts with plant-based dye that lasts a week or so
I got to decorate the pregnant belly!
The children, of course, wanted to paint with henna too. Nirmal gave her feet to the cause. Yeah...it was pretty gross. But the kids got to paint big, smeary blobs and had fun.
