- 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.
