We have all heard about the physical benefits of breastfeeding on mother and child. Studies have shown that breastfeeding helps the new mother lose weight, is a natural firm of birth control, helps contract the uterus to pre pregnancy size, allows bonding with the baby. The advantages for the baby are getting the essential nutrients to build a better brain, the baby is also at a lower risk for developing allergies, colds,childhood illnesses, and childhood obesity amongst others.

But what about the metaphysical benefits of breastfeeding for mother and child? In my studies of the chakras,color therapy and other natural healing modalities. I have noticed that there are more benefits to breastfeeding than previously noted,and that the public is aware of. We all know where the breasts are on the woman. Between the breasts, is the area called the breast bone. The breastbone is one of the main energy centers of the human body, known as the heart chakra.
