Motherhood, Spirituality and Culture explores spiritual skills that
may assist women in changes, challenges and transformations
undergone through the transition to motherhood. This study
comprises rich, qualitative data gathered from interviews with 11
mothers. Results are analysed by constructing seven unique maternal
narratives that elucidate and give voice to the mothers in their
transition by in depth exploration of six themes emerging from the
analysis. Overall discussion ranges across such realities as: *
desires, expectations and illusions for mothering; * birth and
spiritual embodied experiences of mothering; * instinctual knowing;
identity and crisis, and connections of motherhood; * changes and
transformations undergone through motherhood. This study presents a
unique framework for qualitative studies of spirituality within
motherhood research; by weaving together transpersonal psychology,
humanistic psychology, spiritual intelligence and the spiritual
maternal literature.This book will appeal to all women who have
transitioned to motherhood. It willalso be of assistance to
professionals who wish to approach any aspect of maternity care and
support from a transpersonal perspective. It will also
provideunique insights for academics and postgraduate students in
the fields of anthropology, psychology, psychotherapy and feminism
studies.
