The layers of "Be the Mother"

This painting, titled "Be the Mother" was created as I led a client through a process of releasing old wounds, disempowering stories, and embodying the more authentic self without apologies. 

As you can see, the painting went through dramatic changes.  Similar to what we go through in life when we wake up and say: "It's enough!  There is more to life, to me than how I've been living.  Time to change some things!". 

In front of the canvas, we practice :

- Letting go of expectations,
- Dealing with the inner critic who can be relentless,
- Listening within for inspiration and guidance,
- Trusting the guidance even when we don't know where we are going,
- Being in the mystery, the unknown,
- Breathing through discomfort as fears and doubts arise,
- Being aware of our feelings, thoughts and beliefs that arise,
- Taking risks,
- Wondering what wants to happen next,
- Loving ourselves through it all!

Here is an excerpt of what "Be the Mother" shared with me.  Her message is for you as well:

Be the Mother you need.
Give birth to your new self again and again.
Love yourself unconditionally ... not matter what.
Take care of your needs ... all of them!

Be curious and wonder about yourself.
Acknowledge your gifts and talents.
Forgive yourself generously.
Nurture your dreams.

Give yourself some breaks to breathe and be.
Be compassionate and understanding.
Encourage yourself with empowering words and thoughts.
​Remember that you are unique and you matter.

Protect your energy and space.
Feel your feelings and comfort yourself.
And when it's time, be strong and push yourself out of the nest to fulfill your destiny.
Keep believing in yourself!

Know that you are worthy of love.
Know that you deserve love!
Know that you are loveable!
Know that you are deeply loved!
