RISE SISTER RISE

How full is your inner well now? Is it empty,

half full, full, or overspilling?

What needs to happen for it to be overspilling and full?

What nourishes you? Write a list of

five things that nourish you.

HEALING THE MOTHER LINE

Until we are able to nurture and mother ourselves we won’t be able to receive the nurturing and mothering that we have been longing for ourselves. The more we look to other people, or the world around us, to fill us up, the longer we will feel undernourished, parched, and like we are running on empty. Are you mothering yourself?

As our planet, our great Mother Earth is starving and crying out for help, so too are we. We all need mothering. And so many of us (your mother included probably) have been starving for it. The planet as a whole when in balance has the capacity to nourish and nurture our every need. As each of us honors our feminine by nourishing and nurturing ourselves, we are able to do the same for others. However, if we stay here in a victim/blame mentality about all the ways our mother didn’t mother us or meet our standards of mothering we will never receive the nourishment that we so deeply crave.

If you didn’t receive the nurturing you needed from your mother, chances are she didn’t receive it from hers, and on and on it goes. Instead of listing all of the ways that she did not meet your needs, choose to meet your own. To treat yourself with the same compassion, love, devotion, and attention that you longed/long for. And while you do it, send some of it to your mother. Because if you need it, perhaps she does too.

The mother–daughter relationship has got to be the most complex of them all. Most women do all they can to resist the fate of ‘ending up like their mothers.’ But for most, the path is inevitable. We must stop blaming the woman who birthed us and instead celebrate that they did. No matter how brilliant or flawed, compassionate or cold, smothering or neglectful, it’s important for us to acknowledge that they were doing the best they could with the tools they had, the times and conditions they were living in, and the mothering that they received themselves.

If we are to heal Mother Earth, we must start with healing the relationship with our own mothers. To acknowledge her sacrifices, to recognize her journey and to open our minds to the possibility that there was a reason that we chose her to birth us into this world.
