There’s masses of information out there about what happens to you on a physical level, even down to the week-by-week changes. But do you know what’s happening to your body on an energetic level?

Different parts of our energy body become more important during pregnancy, and nourishing them is an important aspect to holistically taking care of ourselves while we’re pregnant.

Pregnancy involves all of us, not just our physiology. The energy systems of our body are also affected.

Understanding which parts of our energy are working the hardest means we can support ourselves on an energetic level as well as taking care of our physical and mental health.

We access and use our creative energy when we're pregnant, and that energy comes from our sacral chakra.

The sacral chakra also provides the energy for our reproductive organs, so the more energy we have in the sacral chakra, the more energy is available for our baby, which can support a stronger, healthier, more comfortable pregnancy.

Pregnancy is a very feminine experience when our bodies express themselves creatively, which is a feminine act.

Pregnancy demands us to step into the unknown, to yield and surrender, all feminine qualities.

Our bodies become rounder and softer, and we become a vessel for the divine feminine to move through us.

Our bodies use energy from different energetic centers for different purposes. To nourish and sustain a pregnancy, they use the energy in our kidneys.

Kidney energy is really important for our vitality. When we use a lot of it we can get depleted, and if we use too much of it in pregnancy we can easily feel exhausted, both during pregnancy and in postpartum.
