Recently I have been finishing our breastfeeds with the blessing 'santosha'.
Santosha is a Sanskrit word that I understand to mean the completeness and satisfaction reached through deep spiritual practice and action.
I cite this mantra, silently or out loud, as we finish our feeds to provide a word that reflects the moment of a full cycle being completed in this breastfeeding meditation.
I say santosha with great respect for my daughter and the intention that she carry the gifts of my body with light and joy.
Santosha.
