This Month, you are receiving: Skin - On - Skin from Module 17. Within this class, Victoria will share extremely valuable ways to protect your Skin-On-Skin & the Hours after birth, including ways when temporary separation may be necessary for MotherBaby. Enjoy listening to this class - take notes & truly absorb this wise transmission! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ The moments immediately after birth are unlike any other. They are not simply the beginning of life outside the womb; they are a profound biological, emotional, and spiritual transition. Mother and baby enter an exquisitely orchestrated window where the body knows exactly what to do when it is allowed to unfold without interruption. At the heart of this unfolding is one simple, ancient act: Skin-to-skin contact. This is far beyond a 'technique' ; It is baby's first homecoming. Your baby has spent months learning your heartbeat, your scent, your voice, your rhythm and your frequency. After birth, they are not looking for a warmer blanket or a brighter room. They are looking for you. From a more subtle perspective, birth is also a process of embodiment. Your baby's awareness is still incredibly open as they transition from the unseen into the physical world. Skin-to-skin offers an undisturbed bridge, allowing their whole being to settle gently into their body, held by the familiar rhythm they have known throughout pregnancy. There is no replacement for this. No bassinet, blanket or well-meaning caregiver can offer what Mamas body naturally provides. Whenever possible, protect the potency of these first hours.

August often greets us with clear blue skies, warm sunshine and gentle ocean breezes. While it still carries the fullness of summer, it also begins to invite us into preparing for the seasonal shift ahead. As the mornings become a little crisper, the evenings arrive a touch earlier and the sunlight takes on its familiar golden glow, nature gently reminds us that change is already underway. Many families may be preparing for the return of school rhythms, work routines or new chapters unfolding. From an Ayurvedic perspective, August is a beautiful bridge between the expansive warmth of summer and the cooler, drier months of autumn. As the landscape gradually loses moisture, our own bodies naturally begin to experience more dryness as well. This seasonal transition encourages the qualities of Vata dosha (dry, light, cool and mobile) to slowly increase. The care you offer yourself in August lays the foundation for how resilient you feel through the months ahead. A little intention now can help make the transition into autumn feel smooth and nourishing. Watch for signs that Vata may be increasing: Dry skin/lips, constipation, gas, bloating, difficulty sleeping, anxious or racing thoughts, feeling depleted or scattered, or recurring urinary discomfort. Dryness can also aggravate Pitta, sometimes showing up as itchy skin or irritated rashes — think of this combination much like a strong breeze fanning an existing fire. Top Suggestions to Stay Well Nourished Throughout August: 🌻Daily or Weekly Oil Massage (Abhyanga): a great way to incorporate self care, healthy fats and support gentle detoxification. Choose oils specific to your skin & constitution. Sesame, Almond or Jojoba oil are all great choices. Avoid coconut as it is extremely cooling. 🌻Begin winding down for bed earlier: the autumn and winter naturally are sleepier seasons - so embrace the cozy nature and cuddle up with an extra blanket & your sweet babe (whether they are earthside or still growing in your womb temple)
