THE MBEREKO PHYLOSOPHY PRACTICALLY EMBRACED

I met this lady yesterday late afternoon when I taking a walk. She looked tired taking a walk.with her 2 year old at her back with a towel.
She was trying to get gim to sleep but the towel was making the baby heavy as he was moving way too low under her pelvis. So she couldn't take a long walk.
Because she felt her back now aching. She decided to go home way earlier before he slept.
I watched her moving slowly behind her.
I could tell that the toddler was feeling the mother struggling with the heaviness therefore didn't relax enough for him to relax too.
I then approached her. I offered if she would like to try out Mbereko. She said noon. I am rushing home to take him off. He is too old to be carried now.

"Unfortunate I tried to let him sleep and he doesn't want but he is tired and at home he keeps crying"

So I insisted. ( the most difficult moment mostly)
She agreed and waited for me to rush home and gmtake mbereko. We stripped the alone on her and whilst I was still doing this. She already was commenting about the comfort and the design.

We finished and started walking together. It didn't take 2 minutes and that child fell asleep.
She commented about the differences between Mbereko and Towel.
The bottom line is what I wrote in the book about
Firstly we take care of ourselves before others.

Which was proven yesterday. The mother started walking upright the toddler wasn't heavy anymore. Her belly was now tied properly and we walked quiet a distance until I started to feel tires after a long day market.
The woman decided to buy Mbereko. We went home and she chose her colour.
We are talking of a working mom who is trying to bond with her children during the weekend.
There is more to come.


P.s. I could have requested her to take a picture whilst she wore using a towel but then I was trying to help out quickly for the toddler to sleep.

MBEREKO AND EDUCATION

Mbereko Carrying Culture is a practice in our DNA as humans. Our ancestors carried each other for not only better ways of communicating and respecting one another. But import of all to maintain their natural posture. It not for nothing that old people of African descendants had a strong bone and stable hip and backbone

Bereka Handmade Shop updated their business hours.

Carrying culture

There come a time when people normalize the Carrying culture again. This is almost the time. What happens is you come across the fanatics in groups discussing, enjoying sharing their experience. Out there are mothers who are actually crying for help to be guided on how to correctly carry their babies.

Some parents think can manage because they once saw it in Africa. Believe me. There is a lot to learn about even for those African women who are now urbanised.
We are here for you to make an appointment with us after purchasing your Mbereko so that we can explain the background of carrying babies and toddlers.

SEPERATED FAMILIES. UNTIED FAMILY MEMBERS

The reason why people are in denial when someone else say the words they had preferred saying or what they had wished to practice and failed.
Is because not everyone has lived the same lifestyle as everyone else.
We should not forget that the words we speak have probably been spoken before by someone else. What we teach no matter how new they may sound into someone ears. They have been taught before.
Now there is this difference in why someone's words are powerful than another.
We have been brought up in different families, grew up in different forms and situations.
That mould us and make us who we are today.

Parents have the most important roles in life. A child who grows up with both parents whether they have issues or not is better off than someone who grows up without both parents.

⏩During slavery a lot of families were SEPERATED..

⏩Education which was provided SEPERATED families. Remember in my previous article where I broke down how families moved from villages to town or school. They never came back.

⏩ Created instabilities in so called non developed countries SEPERATED families. Wars. Etc

When families were SEPERATED everyone took his or her own direction. Money was now an intermediate factor that seemed to unite families yet even seperating them more.

A HUGE EXAMPLE IS LOBOLA. HOW LOBOLA OS BEING TREATED TODAY SEPERATED FAMILIES.

Have you noticed that even someone with a lot of money can commit su***de?
Loneliness but having everything necessary in your home.
So this created a lot of confusion within families to a global point.

Whether this will change or not that's not the point. Of Course life evolves but still we should look back at what was working before and try to RETRIEVE it. For instance, a family member taking back the role of whom we call Mai Ruwadzano or Baba Ruwadzano today is a MUST.
The whole reason being. A foreign member of the family may even believe your lies or even enter into your family tree disturbing spiritually without you noticing. Yet if it's a family member they already know the weaknesses and the strength of the family.

We had a strong family tied with

⏺️ TETE. ( sis vaBaba)

⏺️ MAIGURU (sisi vamai)

⏺️ Mainini ( sisi vaMai)

⏺️ Mbuya. ( Mai vaMai na Mai Vababa)

⏩ Sekuru ( baba vababa kana Mai. Hanzvadzi yamai

⏺️ Muzukuru ( chana chavaTete)

All these people have been SEPERATED through the love for money l. Whether people knew this or not it still is important to know where everything went wrong.

A united family solve issues easier and are there for each other. Which means a guided child will never commit certain crimes or have an awkward lifestyle nor will he or she disrespect people.

Going back to why some people may sound like their words or work even teachings are more powerful yet someone else tried to the same and failed. Imagine someone being called SVIKIRO or Mhondoro yet their sorroundings is suffering and the SVIKIRO.is earning money from people without anything because Svikiro is now solving issues of SEPERATED familie through seperating THEM even more.
Another example is a Mufundisi who is supposed to bring families together but is the one having prophets telling people to even run away from their families because it's then practicing which craft. Another form of separating families.
So whilst the above mentioned hold their positions in life. Do we realized that whether they use strong methods to teach. No answers may come from GOD through ancestors?
They continuously sin and its the difference between those who actually do not sin deliberately using others souls to become better.
