• A mother is not a person to lean upon, but a person to make leaning unnecessary.  ~ Dorothy Canfield
• There is no influence so powerful as that of a mother. ~ Josepha Hale
• All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. ~Abraham Lincoln

Every one of us has a mother and each of us has a unique relationship with her.  Sometimes it is strong.  Sometimes it is weak.  Sometimes it is loving.  Sometimes it is less so.  No matter what, it is a special bond and it runs deep.

Many of us are mothers to children. Some of us are grandmothers, even great-grandmothers. Others of us know mothering in other ways and through our other relationships with people and pets.

Please take a moment to recall the qualities of mothering you admire and share them below in the comments.

I encourage you to practice a special quality that means something to you as a meditation and throughout the day.

Begin by quieting yourself.  Next, magnify the power of the mind-body connection with the following meditation by using the breath and an affirmation for as long as you like.

Breathing in.  I am .. (state the mothering quality)

Breathing out.  I am .. (state the mothering quality)

Infuse your day with this quality.

Be loving.

Be patient.

Be kind.

Be encouraging.
