(This is a picture of my most important mother figures in my life. My grandmother, mother and my adopted GOD mother along with my daughter and myself.)
As Mothers Day approaches, for many including myself this can feel like a mix of emotions. Many of us have lost our mothers in the physical World and will feel and grieve them as Sunday approaches. Others may be disconnected from their mothers and grieving childhood wounds, which can bring up feelings. Many of my clients are blessed to have their mothers still, but are working with me in our coaching program to peel back the layers of wounds and grief. No matter where you are on this spectrum of Mothers day feelings it can be a lot to balance.
On one hand, its a day to celebrate and honor the mothers in our lives, but on the other hand, it can be a painful reminder of the ones who are no longer with us. Some of us may be doing this while being a mother and deserving to celebrate and feel sad. That is ok to feel your emotions and acknowledge before transmuting(shifting) the energy behind them.My own mother passed away two years ago and my grandmother, who was truly like a mother to me passed away over two decades ago.
Some were adopted and we all have woman who were mother like role models throughout our life, who may also be gone. I dont know about you but I looked up to many of the stay at home moms in childhood. Also my adopted god mother who taught me so many values of my character. Also helping me with my own child when my mother gave up and I had no other to help me with my child that I trusted.
Rest in Peace Sister Ann.
However, I am also a mother myself, and the unconditional love I have for my daughter is indescribable. I would walk into hell and flip the world upside down for her. One of our purposes in life as mothers is to love unconditionally, protect, guide and give our children a different experience than we had. Not materialistically, as thats nothing of value. It is our time, the person who constantly showed up for our children and the loving words of expression they will remember and be engraved into their minds and emotions.
My purpose as a mother is to raise Angelina to be a even more compassionate, caring, open minded and adventurous individual. To help her to see her value and become a even greater person than myself. I take pride in being a mother and cherish the special bond I share with my child, as many of us do.
Many of my clients are working through mother wounds, and with two of our main planets being in the sign of cancer,(the mother of the zodiac) this brings up a lot of questions and challenges. As a double cancer, my sun(our ego) & moon(our emotional body) sign being the mother of the zodiac and the rising(how others view us /personality) being my opposite in Capricorn, the father of the zodiac I find all my life I have helped people feel nurtured and also challenge people to grow as I can feel, trigger or bring up emotions within their own parental dynamics. All my life children have gravitated to me very easily. Which is an honor for those that need good motherly like models.
I want you to challenge yourself to do the same thing I had to many years ago with generations beyond my mother. To see your parents, grandparents and so on as spiritual beings having had a human experience. Key word is experience. They knew only so much. A lot of what they knew and programmed our own experiences with were based on their parents wounds and so on up the blood line. By looking at not only our pain which needs to be dealt with. But also viewing them as humans also this allows us to see them as a whole, and how that contributed to our whole experience.
Most people don't do this. Rather instead many of the older generations were taught to suppress, deny and hold back moving forward without truly healing. Which as a holistic nurse and healer, I want to let you know can lead to the symptoms you deal with daily, the disease of your body mind and spirit and diagnosis that you are experiencing. You see, at the root of all physical exterior level, which is the last step is a emotional root connection that needs to be dealt with. Felt, expressed, worked through with energy work, such as reiki, crystal light sound therapy and quantum healing. Massage, and activities that resonate with your soul.
I will share that both my grandmother and mother lived up to their emotional mapping. I have compassion for why that is, and use it to help me work through my very fresh grief of my own mother. Grief isn't linear, meaning it spirals back for a reason. To be acknowledged and peel back more layers. If we dealt with some of the deep experiences all at once it would be to much, overwhelming and over bearing to the mind, soul and body. Which is why so many people are truly sick in their own bodies.
While our mothers, grandmothers and woman role models may not be here with us physically, their love and influence live on in you and the way you raise your own children. They leave a legacy of love and nurturing, that you also can pass on to future generations. They also pass off torches of generational wounds from the negative side of their relationships with us, giving us a choice to undue and correct moving forward what they were unable to do in this life time. Making us receive generational blessings.
This Mothers Day, will include traditions of celebrating my daughter, who made me a mother. I love to gift her and thank her for choosing me as her mother. (We do, we choose our mother and family before incarnation to earth, for many specific lessons and reasons.) We will honor Adele, my mother and grammy Flo, my grandmother by looking at photos, telling stories and keeping them alive as they are. Energy transforms it never dies. I encourage you as well to create some new traditions and storytelling. It helps to deal with the hidden pain that your subconscious and chakras(energy body) store for a life time if not dealt with!
Being a mother is a gift and privelege. There are so many who dont get the opportunity who are dying to be mothers. It is a opportunity to shape the future an leave a positive impact on the world.No mother is perfect. We all mess up, some more then others, but we can do better. Integrating true change and evolution not repeating toxic cycles. We can choose better for ourselves and our children. I am proud of the person I became, and becoming. I am proud of the mother I have become and growing with my daughter to improve and be my best self for her. I am proud of you for the mother you are!
Before we become mothers, we have no idea what it does to us. How it changes us for the better. The feelings and emotions it brings and the connection that is eternal especially with our mothers. They are us, they are in us and will be celebrating with you on Sunday.
To all the mothers and mother figures out there, past, present and future, I wish you a Happy Mothers Day.
May your day be filled with LOVE, JOY and GRATITUDE. Cherish the memories of your loved ones no longer with us in person and keep their spirit alive through the love and care you give yourself and your own children.
I have three gifts for you this Mothers day.....
A tip that can help yourself to be a better parent and therapeutic for your children no matter how old they are. Especially if you do not have great communication with them. Ask and allow your child, to express one thing without feed back, punishment, judgment, excuses or reasons this: "What is one thing I did to you that you have never expressed how badly it hurt you." Follow it with I am sorry and I am going to think about this so I can make sure I never do this again. Hug, for a minute long if possible and get those happy hormones producing. Hugs, kisses and telling one another I love you is very overrated. But means so much to those who lacked it.
It is not to late to purchase your Mothers Day package, which includes 1hour psychic medium reading and 30 minute virtual reiki session. Apts are booked separately at your own convenience and do not expire. For more information click the link Mothers Day.
The biggest gift to you is if you are ready to dive into your own healing and personal development journey, I am here for you. You may have questions or want to know more. If this is resonating with you, universe and your angels may be talking to you through me as a tool to help spark and activate your own light. Book a complimentary (FREE) Wake Up Call.

For now, enJOY your day. Create your balance and flow in the present moment. For other services you can schedule those at: www.angelicloveandlight.org
