Sadhana of Pregnancy
A Soma Shakti Journey through the Sacred Trimesters of Motherhood
Welcome to the Sadhana of Pregnancy, a sacred offering from Soma Shakti that honors the profound spiritual and physical transformation of becoming a mother. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and infused with divine feminine reverence, this educational journey is crafted to support your pregnancy with clarity, nourishment, and sacred remembrance.
Through the lens of Ayurveda, we explore each trimester as a unique phase of preparation and blossoming. Guided by Daniela, founder of Soma Shakti, you are invited into a devotional space of embodied wisdom, where pregnancy becomes a portal of remembrance and a rite of passage into the archetype of the Divine Mother.
Each Trimester features 6 interactive lessons and wisdom to guide you towards a balanced and nourished pregnancy. Learn about herbs, get recipes, meditations and unlock teachings from ayurveda that will elevate your spirit in this sacred time.
Sadhana of Pregnancy is not merely a course
— it is a sanctuary, a sacred return to the ancient feminine temple where the mysteries of life gestate in rhythm with the cosmos. Rooted in the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda, this journey is a devotional unfolding through the sacred trimesters of pregnancy, offering spiritual, emotional, and physical nourishment for the mother-to-be and the luminous soul she carries.
Each trimester is explored as a unique sadhana — a spiritual practice — informed by Ayurvedic teachings on meditation, nutrition, herbal support, breathwork, and lifestyle. You will discover how to align with the deeper rhythms of your body and baby, while nurturing the subtle energies of heart, ojas (vital essence), and spiritual presence.
The First Trimester: Sacred Stillness & Spiritual Anchoring
This is a time to soften, slow down, and turn inward. The air and water elements are heightened, and your body becomes a sacred chamber of adjustment — a portal welcoming life.
As apana vayu (the downward-moving energy) shifts to hold the soul within, many women experience nausea or emotional waves. From a spiritual perspective, this is the body's vibrational recalibration to meet the soul of the baby. In this delicate phase, we offer tools to honor the sensitivity of this time:
Gentle guidance to eat simply: warm, plain foods like rice and steamed vegetables
Tips to stabilize blood sugar with small, frequent meals
Herbal and natural remedies to ease nausea, including cumin, cardamom, ginger, and Ayurvedic salts
Hydration practices, light broths, and homemade electrolyte drinks to support rasa dhatu (the body’s plasma and fluid essence)
Gentle meditation and mantra practices to harmonize mother and child
Emotional space to feel, rest, and welcome the soul with loving awareness
This trimester is a sacred cocoon — a place of stillness, anchoring, and preparation.
The Second Trimester: The Double Heart
Known in Ayurveda as the time of the double heart, this phase invites joy, nourishment, and emotional alchemy. As your energy returns and you feel the first movements of your baby, the bond between mother and child deepens. Emotionally, the baby communicates through the mother’s heart, offering an opportunity to clear samskaras (past life impressions) through devotion and conscious presence.
Highlights of this phase include:
Building with wholesome, nutrient-rich foods for mother and baby
Honoring cravings as soulful communications
Gentle movement, walks, swimming, and Surya Namaskar
Deepening into devotional practice, mantra, beauty, and joy
Taking a baby moon or simply immersing in sacred pleasure
This is the season of nourishment — a blossoming of your inner and outer world.
The Third Trimester: The Temple of Ojas
As birth draws near, the focus turns to ojas — the vital nectar of immunity, strength, and deep inner stability. Ayurveda teaches that in the eighth month, ojas flows between mother and baby, creating alternating states of vibrancy and fatigue. This sacred exchange is why deep nourishment, rest, and simplicity are so vital now.
In this phase, you will learn to:
Fortify ojas through grounding rituals, restorative herbs, and conscious rest
Eat ojas-building foods: almonds, dates, ghee, saffron, warm milk, and more
Sip healing teas and hydrating elixirs to keep the fluids and emotions flowing
Tune into the body's innate wisdom with mantra, meditation, and breathwork
Rest deeply to support your final metamorphosis before birth
This is not a linear curriculum. It is a sacred weaving of teachings, meditations, recipes, rituals, and reflections.
You are invited to move through it cyclically — with reverence, with presence, and with the knowing that this path is one of profound becoming.
Whether you are walking this path for the first time or returning as a seasoned mother, this course is a celebration of the divine feminine force within you — the Shakti that births galaxies and whispers life into form.
