Shortly after this year’s inauguration I attended an IG Live hosted by a practitioner I really like and respect (from what I know of her).
We all usually engage on these calls, sort of like the BMM Patreon Meetings we have on this side of the internet 😃. But on this day in particular everybody was really feeling it. It being the overt hate this country has for its citizens and the (unsurprising—though still baffling) foolishness of another Trump presidency.
Protection was the name of the game for this call. Protecting our energy, honoring and implementing boundaries, taking care of ourselves and our families, not giving in or up, and also feeling our feelings.
Mothers also came up. Which, of course.
Why of course, Ran?
Because the type of mothers we have shape our subconscious—who we believe ourselves to be, what we think we are worthy and capable of, who we put up with, and how we take care of ourselves, and how much protection we have—all the greats talk about it and believe it to be true.
[See: Carl Jung]
. . All I know is, mothers matter. How we are mothered . . . matters. And right now in this extra spooky season of the temptation to succumb to doom—we all need our mamas. We all need protection.
But alas . . .here is my dilemma.
I don’t have a safe mother.
