In the tender journey of motherhood, every heartbeat and breath is a silent hymn connecting two souls through an umbilical bond that transcends the physical.
Umbilically Yours by Manisha Kanoria Lohia is an intimate exploration of motherhood, deeply rooted in cultural wisdom, Montessori principles and spiritual insights. Drawing from the values instilled in her by her own parents and brothers, the author shares how long-held traditions, mindful parenting and holistic practices shape the profound experience of raising a child.
Divided into three heartfelt parts—Seeing, Becoming and Being—the book traces her journey from observing motherhood as a child to experiencing its transformative power first-hand. Through poetic reflections and deep spiritual wisdom, she highlights how a mother’s thoughts, beliefs and actions influence a child even before birth.
A celebration of maternal strength, intuition and devotion, Umbilically Yours is both an introspective memoir and a guiding light for mothers seeking to raise their children with consciousness, love and purpose.
