“The mother wound is deep.” What does this mean to you?
During a meditation in February 2020 this phrase came to me over and over again. This is a wound that needs healing for so many of us.
The more I think about this phrase the more I think about the many ways it’s true.
It could be our own experience of motherhood. It could be the decision we make not to mother. It could be the relationship with our mother or even our parents relationship with their mothers.
There are so many aspects of the mother wound that have implications on us and our daily lives yet to think about them and how deep and complex they may be takes time and patience and compassion to ourselves and others.
The first solution is to learn to mother ourselves and honour who we are as women. How we mother ourselves, our animals, children, how we create with art, words, with food for example, by celebrating what we create and ourselves we begin to honour the Mother archetype.
The second thing we can do is be grateful for the planet we have. The wound to Mother Earth is deep, we need to recognise this and we need to connect back to the ancient mother. We have strayed so far from simplicity and the beauty and natural resources she has for us.
Acknowledge where the mother wound is right now in your life and start to do what is need to heal the wounds.
