Celebrating the Mother Within You
As we navigate the complexities of Mother’s Day, let us take this opportunity to celebrate the mother in each of us. Whether you are a biological mother, an expectant mother, a woman who yearns for motherhood, or someone who embodies the nurturing spirit in other ways, your presence and love are cherished and valued.
Today, let us take a moment to honor and celebrate all women, for in each of us lies the spirit of motherhood. Whether you are a mother, or yearning to be one; whether you’re expecting, or maybe experience challenges in conceiving; whether you’re longing to be a mother but it just didn’t happen yet or grieving the loss of a child; whether you’re nurturing projects and businesses into existence, adopting, caring for animals, or simply embodying the nurturing essence of motherhood in your daily life, your presence and love are cherished.
It’s crucial to recognize that for many, Mother’s Day can be a bittersweet occasion. Not everyone shares a harmonious relationship with their mothers, and for some, the day may evoke feelings of sadness or longing. If that is you,I want you to know that you’re not alone. And you don’t have to play a role today. It’s okay to not reach out to your mother if that is what is important to you on your healing journey.
However, amidst these complexities, let us not forget to celebrate the universal motherhood that resides within each of us.
Beyond the traditional notion of motherhood, there exists an inner mother—a source of boundless love, compassion, and nurturing energy.
Personally, I love to envision the unconditional love of Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Quan Yin circulating through my body, filling myself up with that divine love, connecting with my Inner Mother to plant seeds of more compassion for myself.
This inner mother I’m talking about is a beacon of strength and solace; she offers you unwavering support and infuses your life with healing energy, especially on the days when external sources of nurture may feel scarce.
So, regardless of your relationship with your own mother or mother figure, take this opportunity to celebrate the mother within you today and for the rest of your life.
There’s love and tenderness that flows from your soul, and that is a testament to the profound capacity for nurturing that exists within every woman.
Let’s extend this energy to all women on this planet – humans and animals – and to Mother Earth at large.
This Mother’s Day, let us unite in honoring the diverse expressions of motherhood within us and every woman.
Let’s light a candle as a symbol of unity.
Maybe bring fresh flowers to your altar today and hum or sing a melody that comes to your heart; maybe you’d like to write a letter to the women collective of this planet, acknowledging the resilience and beauty that lies within each of us.
Or maybe take a bath and let yourself get soaked while you let yourself be nurtured by the warm water.
Whatever it is, whatever you feel called to be today, follow it. And don’t forget to give yourself a smile.
I celebrate the mother in you, in me, and in every woman around the world.
And if you’re reading or listening to this on any other day:
Take this day to honor the love, compassion, and strength that reside within you, recognizing the profound impact of your nurturing presence in the world. Embrace the full spectrum of emotions that accompany Mother’s Day, knowing that it’s okay to feel joy, sadness, or a mix of both. And above all, remember to extend kindness, empathy, and support to yourself and to others who may be navigating their own journey of motherhood.
