Rocking Through the Thunder Storms!

As a child my mother used to rock me in the big rocker in front of the big picture window, watching the lightening flash and listening to the thunder pound. She did this with me and my brothers because we were terrified of the storms.  

In time I grew to love thunder and lightening storms...because they were a time of great closeness with my mother.   This nurturing and comforting place was not something my mother shared much as I was growing up.  But when thunder and lightening visited, she became the most soothing and cuddling mother!

We all need cuddling from time to time.

For some of us, we can no longer just go to our mother for this kind of support.  For some of us, Mom is no longer in the physical.  For others, it is just not feasible or we feel too vulnerable about our neediness.  Or, maybe we didn't have a mother that was able to nurture at all.

I have discovered that I have my own "Inner Mother" inside of me.  I have found that I can "go within," in a meditation state, and with my intention being to nurture me and love me, just as my mom once did with me.  In this way, I become my own parent and I parent myself!

What a discovery to find that this is possible!  

I am grateful!

Become the mother that you lost or that you never had or that is not available to you when you need her.

  

Nurture and take care of you!

Do the best job possible for you!  You deserve it!

Feel the closeness and KNOW beyond any doubt that you are held and you are perfectly safe and loved--any time that you need it or want it! 

Most importantly, let it be Okay that you need it or want it!  And then, work to allow yourself to receive it!  It is WONDERFUL!  And it is so worth the spiritual work to learn to allow ourselves to receive the good things in life!!

Happy Self-Nurturing!
