Healing the Wounds between Mother & Child
Happy Mother’s Day! In the US, this is the day we celebrate and honor our Mothers. For some it’s a day of joy, and it can also be a day of pain.
Our mothers are our greatest joy and strongest connection to love. Yet when we do not experience the love and protection we expect from our mothers, they can also represent the greatest disappointment – the loneliness of feeling separated from love, the pain of being abandoned by love, the grief of missing the love we expect to find.
In one sense we can tell ourselves we are all characters in each other’s plays. Together we are playing out the purposes and lessons of life. Our mothers are playing out their roles in our lives, and they have purposes and lessons of their own – they too are perfectly imperfect souls traveling their own paths.
Metaphysically and spiritually, mothers have a very special role. We come into this world through the womb of our mothers. The womb is the bridge between the worlds. The womb is the passageway which brings forth life from the realm of Infinite Compassion.
Listen to the podcast here:
It is through this passageway we enter this world. When the umbilical cord is cut, we separate from our source of connection, compassion, love and nourishment. We are dependent beings with a desire to individuate and find our autonomy. We want to separate, yet we do not want to lose the love – not in the material realm nor in the Divine realms.
The relationship we have with our mothers is a mirror of the relationship of our souls with Divine Love and Compassion. It can be a slippery slope to navigate for mothers and children, who are both on parallel pathways, each for their own lessons and purpose. By design we are here to separate and experience the pain of separation. Eventually it is the pain that calls us back to love.
Our mothers are our greatest joy and strongest connection to love. Yet when we do not experience the love and protection we expect, they can also represent pain. Share on X
