Divine Mother Medicine
One thing that my work with clients & own inner work has taught me: being human is tough. We’re brave souls who’ve chosen to be here on Earth!
You come to Earth from Source - Divine LOVE. As a child, you’re anticipating perfect love from your mom, but eventually you become painfully aware that you won’t get it. (And not from your dad either…)
This creates a deep abandonment wound that leads you to abandon yourself. You decide that the way to acquire love is by being someone you’re not and by doing things to earn it.
You tell yourself: I have to look this way, act that way, get straight A’s, have the right job, marry the right person… But no matter what you do, it feels like there just isn’t enough love out there and you’re not worthy of it anyway.
Finding Peace with Your Mom
See what I mean?! What a painful set up to be born into.
Some of us literally bang our heads on the floor - raging that our mother didn’t love us the way we wanted. (I’ve seen this on my women’s retreats.)
Unfortunately, we’re never going to get perfect love from our moms - or dads. You can’t change that, but here’s what you can do:
Sit with the grief that you wanted something and never got it. Until you do, you’ll continue to project your desire and expectation for love onto others and experience the trauma of abandonment again.
Remember: your mom went through the same thing (and so on down the ancestral line). So forgive her. And thank your mom for what she COULD give you.
That releases you from the resentment and victim energy. But, wait, there’s more!
DIVINE MOTHER
While no human mother is perfect, when you access the Feminine Divine, there’s a deep sea of love waiting for you.
I know it’s not easy to connect with Her and receive her Love because she’s been denigrated and denied for thousands of years.
But it can be simple: Sit still. Open to receive. That’s it.
Your nervous system will say: Wait! Don’t I have to be doing something?!
Nope. Just sit. At home. In nature. Anywhere you want.
This isn’t necessarily meditation. Just intend to receive. Remind your body that Divine Mother’s love is available to nourish you completely. All of us have access to this field of infinite love. It’s your birthright. Please try it.
