You don’t have to have a child to be embodying some version (healthy or unhealthy) of the Mother Archetype.
Perhaps you know her through your experience of…
- Mothering your man – taking care of him like someone you have been charged with caring for & fixing
- Martyring yourself – feeling like you’re the one with the weight of the world on your shoulders
- Seeking deeper connection with your own mother, receiving the love she is able to provide – but still feeling a longing for more connection & nurturing that doesn’t quite seem sated.
- Being the responsible one amongst your clients & friends
- Carrying the mothers guilt that (inevitably) comes with raising children
Every woman is living out her relationship with the Mother Archetype daily, in a million different ways.
Sometimes healthy, sometimes not.
The energy of Mother Archetypes includes her…
- Unconditional love
- Compassionate love
- Nurturing
- Support, encouragement & belief
(Who doesn’t want some of that?!)
Yet for so many of us… the promise of unconditional, compassionate love & encouragement is not met in our real world.
How many times have we wanted to open into deeper, more loving relationship – only to be hurt?
How many times have we tried to create something more whole – only to feel like we are ‘doing all the work’ ourselves (and no one else is interested in trying)?
Seeking unconditional, compassionate love & encouragement is hard-wired into every single cell of our body. It’s an essential human need.
And every time that need is not met – from within, or from a core relationship (like your relationship with your mother, your first blueprint for the Mother Archetype) – a story is created to protect us from the pain of its absence.
All too often that story (perhaps unconsciously) goes…
Something is wrong.
I’m not enough.
I’m not destined to have that.
It’s not possible for me.
And so we settle… for lives & relationships with LESS unconditional, compassionate love & encouragement that we deserve.
We settle.
And we suffer.
I’m not a woman who is willing to settle.
And I’m also not a woman who is waiting for someone else to give her the unconditional, compassionate love & encouragement that I need (although I do have a lot of people offering it to me in life #grateful).
I’ve come to see that it’s our job – as women – to mother ourselves first.
When we choose to be our own source of unconditional, compassionate love & encouragement – we access our own healthy inner Mother Archetype.
The freedom – and wholeness – this creates in our lives, is liberation.
The permission this creates – is unconditional.
Most importantly…
We know we can’t give away what we don’t have.
To our men, our children, our daughters, our clients, our community.
We have to hold the unconditional love & encouragement of the healthy Mother Archetype first – within ourselves, for ourselves – before we can give it away OR receive it from another person.
It’s your job to mother yourself first.
To embody the unconditional, compassionate love & support your birthright demands.
