Mothers Day without her

As Mother’s Day approaches across parts of the world, for those who dread the day…I hope this helps x

MOTHER’S DAY WITHOUT HER

For many, Mother’s Day is one to be avoided, to dread, to rage at.

But consider this.

If you have a mother in heaven, who you miss so much that this day burns like fire, then you have been blessed.

So many do not know this.

So many do not understand a love so deeply bonding, that the grief is beyond comprehension.

And consider this also.

If your mother is no longer with you on this mortal coil, do not, for a moment, believe that she is gone.

That you are without her.

For that is not possible.

She beats with your every heartbeat.

She breathes with your every gasp.

She is coded into your every cell.

That cannot be undone.

Perhaps, perhaps, you could begin to celebrate, on Mother’s Day, and every day, that you were gifted a mother like yours.

And instead of avoiding this day, perhaps, perhaps, you could embrace it again and invite her to be with you, again.

Remembering, as you did on earth, how blessed you were.

Perhaps, perhaps, this day could become a sweet one once more, as you do all the things you know she loved on earth. For her.

For many, Mother’s Day is one to be avoided but I wonder if maybe that could change.

I wonder if she is waiting for that.

Perhaps she is waiting for that.

Grandmother’s womb

“All the eggs a woman will ever carry form in her ovaries while she is a four-month-old fetus in the womb of her mother.

This means our cellular life as an egg begins

in the womb of our grandmother.

Each of us spent five months in our

grandmother’s womb, and she in turn

formed in the womb of her grandmother.

We vibrate to the rhythm of our mother’s blood before she herself is born, and this pulse is the thread of blood that runs all the way back through the grandmothers to the first mother.”

Sun & Ancestors

“My ancestors experienced the Spirit through their contact with the sun.

Like all natural phenomena you have to catch it just right. Not too intense.

A healing moment when the sun touches your skin, with such warmth, it seems the sun has gone inside you. You are warm from the inside out. My ancestors knew that is what being with the Spirit feels like.”

Breaking the Cycle: How I Overcame Intergenerational Trauma to Become a Peer Advocate

By Angela Colón-Rentas

You may wonder: How did that young Puerto Rican girl who very much disliked seeing a therapist when locked up in the juvenile system end up working in the mental health field as an adult? Simple answer: I wanted to help youth in crisis. And it was meant to be.

Be silent & Listen to Elders

SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR …

Positivity changes a mind,

A kind word lifts many burdens,

A good deed makes a heart heal,

A gentle voice lifts many broken hearts,

Always say something nice,

Always say something with care,

Always say something in kindness,

Always say something genuine concern,

Always say something with compassion,

Always lift someone up,

Always give what you’ve got,

Always extend an out reached hand,

Always try to patch, mend broken hearts,

Always do something to heal shattered souls,

What goes around,

Eventually comes full circle,

What’s unleashed is delivered,

Someday,

You might be needing,

To hear echoes of yourself …

Wounded Child -Ancestors

Our wounded child is not only us; he or she may represent several generations of ancestors.

Our parents and ancestors may have suffered all their lives without knowing how to look after the wounded child in themselves, so they transmitted that child to us.

So when we’re embracing the wounded child inside us, we’re embracing all the wounded children of past generations.

This practice doesn’t just benefit us; it liberates numberless generations of ancestors and descendants. This practice can break the cycle.

-Thich Nhat Hanh The Art of Communicating

We all have generational shadows. These shadows are handed down like waves of deep conscious pain travelling through the human condition like a virus.

When I find myself experiencing the crashing wave of generational shadow, I find strength in knowing I am doing the work for all of my ancestors, all of my descendants, along with myself. And yes, the rest of the world as well. We are all just walking each other home.

Having to explain why you can’t have sex : new born & Mom

A man out of balance in a distortion that is primal and it sure does demean the person who dare .

Sadly I had the experience of force , 6 days after giving birth and it was I believe primal ; marking of property and jealously of his own child .

Wounded Child

With practice, we can see that our wounded child is not only us.

Our wounded child may represent several generations.

Our mother may have suffered throughout her life.

Our father may have suffered.

Perhaps our parents weren’t able to look after the wounded child in themselves.

So when we’re embracing the wounded child in us, we are embracing all the wounded child in our past generations.

This practice is not a practice for ourselves alone, but for numberless generations of ancestors and descendants.
