Moon Cycles
This is a baby blessing I did today on @ballinconscious's cousin who is 5 months pregnant! This was a very special baby blessing to me as I love the momma and I was so happy when she asked me to do henna on her belly!
The design was a request by the momma, she wanted the moon cycles and I came up with the lotus. In the past I've done the moon cycles on her chest, and I think it's so much fun to create! The shading was made by thinning the henna out with water and applied with a make up brush!
For pregnancy henna it's MEGA important to use ONLY homemade, organic paste. This henna paste I applied on her I miexed myself using: organic henna powder from Rajasthan( India), water, sugar and lavender essential oil! π
I love doing baby blessings ! It's so much fun and the babies always like to move around and dance when they feel the henna action !
So cute:) God bless mom and a baby:)

@aftabkhan10 henna on the pregnant belly is a tradition that's been created & growing a lot in the United States as many mommas were already getting their bellies painted with body paint, and it's called "baby blessing". According to my studies on the history of henna, in many cultures the mother to be would get henna as a way to bless the baby and give good luck to the pregnancy, though the henna was applied in more traditional/ conservative areas like hands and feet. This type of baby blessing, is really beautiful to create with henna, as the henna paste usually relaxes the momma and the baby responds to the henna aplication with a sweet dance !
