Mother's Love

In Australia we celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday, and it started to make me think more deeply about mothers, what they bring to us and what they mean in the physical sense and in the spiritual capacity. I love my physical mother very much, she has been one of my greatest teachers in many ways, helping me to grow and transform to become a better person and servant. My love and appreciation for her grows too, and since being introduced to Master Sha’s teachings our relationship has become much more loving, compassionate and forgiving, which I am eternally grateful to Master Sha, the Divine and to all the heavenly beings for. 

I have been thinking a lot about having a mother, and not only in this lifetime but the mothers I would have had in all of my lifetimes and how many that could end up being. I also began to think about how many lifetimes I myself may have been a mother and how I may have served in that role. 
Not only do we have mothers in the physical sense but, we also have spiritual mothers. Many people around the world have deep love and affiliations with female saints and holy beings such as Mother Mary and Guan Yin which traditionally stem from their backgrounds and cultures. I have had a deep love for Guan Yin from a young age, as growing up we had a statue or two of her in our house (despite my family not coming from a Buddhist background). What she represented, that being of pure compassion (as she is known for in Buddhist traditions) and unconditional service to all who ask for her help, to me she is this and much more. There are countless spiritual mothers in Heaven, and on Mother Earth who are offering their unconditional service and love to us, continuing to love and bless us, whether we know it, appreciate it or feel it. The qualities of a mother are so beautiful to connect with and to embody, as they radiate out the qualities that make up the very essence of inner beauty such as love, kindness, compassion, purity, selflessness, forgiveness, humility, generosity and much more.

Dear Mother Earth gives herself to us fully everyday despite how we may treat her. She is a beautiful example of an unconditional universal servant and possesses these motherly qualities. She continues to love, nourish us and gives us life and such beauty, yet asks for so little in return. We can learn a lot from Mother Earth and return some of that love by showing our gratitude, our love and appreciation by taking better care of her and service by chanting to help her transform to restore her beauty. 

In this lifetime, as in all our past lifetimes our soul chooses our mothers in Heaven before we are born. Who they want to be connected to, the lessons we may need to learn from and with them, and who will help us grow and transform best on our soul journey. Whoever or whatever mother you have or have had, she has been a blessing for your life. Connecting to them through soul communication is a great tool to further learn why we are connected to certain people in our lives, especially our mothers who are so influential to and for us in different ways. I am grateful to all the love, care, compassion, forgiveness, kindness and nurturing I’ve received from all my mothers in all my lifetimes. I learn this more everyday through the love I receive from them and their advice, and also through my friends and loved ones who are mothers. Thank you for all the mothers around the world and in Heaven, thank you for your service, your love, you have taught me so much.

I offer my greatest love to all of you, happy Mother’s Day for today, yesterday and for everyday.
