In this episode, we explore postpartum care through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and the deeply nourishing concept known as the “sacred window.” Joining me is Christine Eck, founder and director of the Center for Sacred Window Studies, an educational resource dedicated to Conscious Postpartum Care rooted in Ayurvedic tradition.Christine breaks down what Ayurveda is and how it views the postpartum period as a critical time for healing, restoration, and long-term well-being. We dive into the meaning of the first 42 days postpartum, why this window is considered sacred, and how intentional practices during this time can support a mother’s physical recovery, emotional balance, and spiritual integration after birth.We also discuss the essential role of food, rest, daily rhythms, and ritual in postpartum healing, along with practical, accessible ways modern moms can bring Ayurvedic principles into their own recovery—even without formal support or traditional care. This conversation is a grounding reminder that postpartum isn’t something to “bounce back” from, but a time to be held, nourished, and honored.Whether you’re newly postpartum, expecting, or supporting new mothers, this episode offers a compassionate and holistic perspective on caring for the birthing body and spirit.Connect with Christine Eck:Official Website: https://sacredwindowstudies.com/postpartum care ayurveda, ayurvedic postpartum traditions, sacred window postpartum, postpartum healing ayurveda, 42 days postpartum ayurveda, conscious postpartum care, ayurvedic postpartum practices, holistic postpartum recovery, postpartum rituals after birth, traditional postpartum care practices, postpartum healing rituals, ayurvedic care after childbirth, postpartum care traditions around the world, how to heal postpartum naturally, ayurveda for new moms, postpartum rest and nourishment, sacred postpartum traditions, emotional healing after birth, postpartum support for moms, fourth trimester care, holistic motherhood, natural postpartum recovery, maternal wellness postpartumwww.NewMomTalk.comBuy Me A CoffeeIG: @NewMomTalk.PodcastYouTube: @[email protected] in being a guest?
