Ala of the African Ibo tribe is the mother earth. She makes the seed in the womb grow into a child, and brings the living soul into the gestating body. She remains with the soul throughout its life, and when it leaves the body, she receives it back into herself, putting it in her pocket!
In this image, a woman stands near her daughter, pregnant with her second child. Listening deeply, she tunes into the spirit of Ala who is guiding the soul of the child into its body. This woman feels very supported by the loving energy which is spiraling down from the cosmic heart, through her own heart, to the earth. With this energy connection and with the help of Ala, she will nurture and support her child throughout his life.
