However, in recent times, the beautiful ritual of holding a Blessingway has been adapted as an alternative to baby showers, where the focus is on the mother, her experience, and the sacred (ancient!) occasion of birthing.
Rumi was a mystic and Persian poet, theologian and a master of the spiritual world. His nondenominational teachings and revelations on love, and love's connection to soul and body are highly celebrated and revered by many today. The value and depth of his teachings is limitless.
