Spiritual Awakening: A Mother’s Love
As I turned to leave my mother, who is in ICU after suffering a heart attack she said I Love You. I could see that it hurt her just to talk. Over the last 3 years my mom has been through a lot from being diagnosed with non-operable metastatic lung cancer and beating that to yesterday( 6/28) having a heart attack. As I left I started to recall all the time my mother has been there for me and began to let go of some of the baggage that I held about times and circumstances that no longer serve me. As I unlocked my car with tears rolling down my face I felt a cleansing happening and my tears subsided as I realized how lucky I am to have my mother still of this earth and as I focused on her loving me and being grateful for that my day began to improve and my worries subsided. This gave me the inspiration to write this blog entry and to help others to appreciate their mother’s love and to help mother’s realize that we are always your kid and we will always love you. For those whose mother may not be of this earth anymore I remind you that you carry her love in your heart and can communicate with her anytime you wish just by opening up your heart and speaking to her as she is your angel.
Spiritual Awakening: A Mother’s Love Put Me On The Path
It was my mother who gave me my first spiritual book, Don Miguel Ruiz’s The FourAgreements. Shortly after that book came Richard Carlson’s Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff. My mother has always wanted the best for me and I thank her for that. As I reflect and then move forward I will begin to be more heart centered and grateful in dealing with my mom.
Today my mom and I speak about spirituality on a regular basis and much of her artwork reflects her spirit.
Spiritual Awakening: A Mother’s Love- Returning The Favor
As mom has shown me love the question now is how do I return the favor? Many of you may be asking the same question so here are a few tips to repay your mother:
1: Be there for her
2: Tell her how much you appreciate her through gratitude writings and other herat centered practices
3: If mom is no longer of this earth honor her by supporting a cause that resonated with her
4: Dedicate time to communicate every week
5: Show others the love mom has shown you
One of the miost revered mothersof all times is Mother Teresa, who empitomized and exemplified the ideal of love. May the love of your mother help you along your spiritual path. Don’t forget to cherish the moments with your mother.
****Since I wrote this my mom has passed. GOD called her home on July 5, 2012. Mom is now one of my angels in heaven.******
