Welcome,
Beautiful mother.
This meditation is for calling in a new vision of yourself as a parent.
The energy that lies waiting,
Dormant within you.
The alternative way you will interact with your teenager or young adult now.
The higher,
Truer way.
The way that honors who they are.
The way that aligns with your true self,
Your own human journey,
And your deepest intentions in your role as a mother.
So let us begin with a breath,
Breathing in and out.
Breathing in nourishment.
Breathing out whatever needs to be let go right now.
Breathing in oxygen from the trees and plants,
And breathing out the carbon dioxide that they crave.
Breathing in relaxation.
Taking a moment to sense your body.
Maybe scanning from the top of your head,
Gradually down,
Noticing places that need a little loosening.
Maybe giving them a wiggle or taking a deep breath into that part of your body to give it a little more space.
And as you scan and relax,
Bring your attention more and more inward.
Soften your gaze or close your eyes if you haven't already done so.
And now invite your guides and gods,
Whomever your spiritual supporters are,
Your totem animal,
White Tara,
Your ancestors,
Your Qigong master,
Invite them to join us in this circle to lend their support and love as you explore inward.
Visualize them coming toward you,
Gently,
Peacefully.
Feel their presence there with you.
Breathe it in.
Now place your attention inside your body,
Your organs and muscles and fluids,
Your beautiful complex amazing core,
And slowly focus on your belly.
Focus on your belly and feel it rise and fall.
Rise and fall in unison with your breath,
In unison with the trees,
In unison with the earth.
Take your time.
As you focus on your belly,
Begin to become aware of a small soft white light there,
Like sunrise through the mist over a lake.
Sense this glow in your belly,
Mild and calm.
And as you continue breathing,
Allow your breath to expand this white light in your belly,
Just a little bit bigger,
And then a little more,
Not forced.
Just letting it be nourished by your breath.
Letting the light grow in its own way and its own time.
Focus on that white glow,
Soft and gentle,
And if your mind wanders off,
Return again to your breath,
The rise and fall of your belly.
This most natural rhythm,
This most natural rhythm of life.
Feeling that ancient wisdom there in your belly,
Tuning into it right now,
In this moment.
And into that beautiful white light,
Dear one,
You can place this question,
What else is possible for me as the parent of this teenager?
Place the question into the soft loving glow.
What else is possible for me as the parent of this teenager?
Don't try to think of the answer,
Dear one,
That's not what you're here for.
You are here for deeper wisdom.
So place the question in the soft glow of your belly and wait.
What else is possible for me as the parent of this teenager?
Peer into the mist and notice what comes.
If anything,
Maybe an image.
Let's move more into the mist,
Dear one,
It's so soft and serene.
Move in a little closer.
Take a breath here and prepare to breathe in another question.
How else can I be their mother?
Listen,
Receive,
And now prepare to breathe in a final question into that soft mist within you.
What's another way of giving my love?
What's another way of giving them my love?
And now I'll leave you with some silence to wait and listen for the wisdom that surely lives within you.
Let it take its time to bubble up to the surface,
This precious knowledge,
A treasure from within.
And trust whatever arises,
Dear one.
What else is possible for me as the parent of this teenager?
How else can I be their mother?
What's another way of giving my love?
Receiving,
Trusting whatever comes.
Now,
Dear one,
Take the wisdom that you've received about the parent you are becoming,
This precious glimpse of the direction you can head now,
Holding that image there on your horizon.
Capture what you've called in and lock it in your heart so that it will be there like a guiding star for you.
Place it in your heart and when it feels anchored there,
Anchored in you,
Accept the blessings that now rain down upon you,
Warm shimmering drops from your spirit guides.
Receive the blessing with gratitude and allow the drops to wash your skin.
Know that you are loved in this world and in the worlds beyond that are just love,
Pure love.
Feeling the drops on your skin,
Know that you are part of the vast mothering energy,
The nurturing,
The life-giving,
The deep,
Deep love for the next generation and their dreams.
You've already seen your part in this,
Right?
And now you're blessed with new information.
That is yours,
It's held within your heart and it will guide you.
You're ready and there's still lots of time.
You can begin gently,
Slowly to release your focus from your belly and you can begin to return.
Once again,
Feeling your breath.
Take your time and then wiggling your toes a little bit and touching your fingertips to your thumbs,
Taking in those gentle sensations.
Listening now to the sounds around you,
Moving a little bit more.
Maybe rolling your shoulders or combing your fingers through your hair and ever so slowly,
Ever so slowly,
Opening your eyes just a tiny bit.
Rub your hands together now,
Create a little warmth in your palms.
And then rub your face,
Starting from your chin up the sides of your nose,
Across your brows and back down the sides of your face in the shape of a heart.
And you are loved and you're an amazing mother.
A final breath and I wish you a beautiful rest of your day.
All is well.
