Mother Thyself and Rest in Abundance

Rest now, in the Truth of what vast abundance there is. So much sadness in the world. Too much to bear. So much fear, people forget to Love themselves and choose to be loved. Rest, receive and integrate. Nourish yourself deeply. Turn down and off and away from whatever is draining you.
Being informed begins deep, deep within. Never forget that. Be wary of what would rob you of consistent self-Mothering.
A couple weeks after my mother died, I was walking near a frozen pond on a cold, grey Winter’s day. The mood of my surroundings— and the sweeping silence— fully echoed my inner landscape. I just stood there, somehow soothed by this mirroring. And I heard a great and mythic voice resonate across the frozen water and deep in my heart… She said the most counter-intuitive and wholly wise thing:
”You will never be un-Mothered again. You will never be under-Mothered again…”
A few moments later, this echoey, disembodied voice added: “Unless you so choose.”
Unless you so choose.
This was a profound gift from The Mother, from My Mother, from all ancestral Mothers the world over. It was a message and a blessing and a warning:
Mother yourself first, and let yourself be mothered by the world — 𝒸𝒽ℴℴ𝓈ℯ to be nourished, be cared for and be loved, and you will be.
In the northern hemisphere, we are in the time-between-time now known as Harvest. It’s a deeply Motherly time, precisely because the world is dripping with nourishment and sustenance and abundance and hope, even as it all begins to die—
No one can help you find sweet, ripening wisdom and warmth amongst loss and sadness like a MamaBear. We all have a wild and warm and wisened inner-Mother who knows how worthy of love we are, who knows exactly what we need. And that is a notion worth holding close, and being fed by… if you so choose.
Spend ten minutes reconnecting with your breath and as you relax, begin to call up the most deeply loving, nurturing, exquisitely wise, forgiving and generous-hearted Mother within you. Tell her what troubles you. And then, gently step aside, and let. Her. speak.
