Your relationship with your mother shapes who you are and how you react to situations even now.
She wasn't perfect.
She passed the patterns that were given to her by her mother onto you.
And so you stand at the end of a long line carrying the patterns passed on to you by her.
You now have a choice.
You can remain a victim of this programming and blame her for what she did to you and how your life has turned out.
Or you can take responsibility for this.
Forgive your mother and mother yourself.
In doing this you're accepting that you were born to her for a reason.
We're going to go on a journey to meet the Divine Mother,
The perfect mother who makes no mistakes,
Who embodies love,
Compassion,
Kindness,
Protection,
Nurturing and all the qualities needed in a perfect mother.
We will receive her blessings and become her,
Feel what it's like to be her and then mother our inner child perfectly as her.
One such embodiment of all these qualities is Tara.
We will use her mantra to connect to her energy and to the countless beings who have invoked her qualities over the centuries.
Please sing along.
And allow yourself to move around and feel the rhythm of the music and your connection to Tara.
I'd like you to imagine that you're walking along a beautiful path and actually do this,
Walk or dance along this beautiful path.
What does it look like to you?
What does it feel like to be on this wonderful,
Magical path?
This path to your inner temple.
What can you see?
What can you smell?
What can you hear?
In the distance you can see your temple.
What does it look like?
What does it feel like to be in its presence?
Stop for a moment and bow to the temple to learn to mother yourself and heal your inner child.
What does it feel like to be inside?
How does it look?
What can you see?
What can you smell?
This is the temple where the Divine Mother dwells.
Find the Divine Mother.
Find your representation of the Divine Mother in your temple.
What does she look like?
What's she wearing?
What does it feel like to be in her presence?
Bow and sing to her.
Beautiful flowers,
Incense and candles,
Whatever you feel.
And as we sing the mantra to her,
Let those blessings wash through you as a beautiful light clearing away all that is not you.
Now I'd like you to swap places with her.
What does it feel like to be her?
How do you meet her?
As the Divine Mother.
Feel her power surge through you.
Feel her compassion,
Her kindness.
Now imagine that in front of you is a child.
What do they look like?
How do they feel in your presence?
Introduce yourself.
Let them know who you are.
Let them know you love them unconditionally.
What can you tell them about themselves that they don't know?
What advice can you give them?
Perfect Mother,
How can you mother this child?
How do they respond?
Tell them you're here to protect them and give them what they need.
How do they react?
Ask them if they need something.
Now swap places and become the child.
What does it feel like?
Is there anything you'd like to ask the Divine Mother?
Is there anything you'd like to say to her?
Say it.
Now swap places and become the Divine Mother once more.
Can you respond to the child?
Send the child love and light with the mantra.
Hug the child and let them know you are always there for them.
Now imagine that standing in front of you is your own mother.
What does she look like?
What does it feel like to be in her presence?
Send her love with the mantra.
Thank her for what she gave to you.
For her kindness.
She wasn't perfect.
But that was perfect and gave you the lessons you needed.
See her filled with light and love.
See her mother and her mother and all the mothers behind her.
Send that light up the line.
Feeling grateful for what they all did.
Forgiving them where they were lacking.
All those mothers dissolve back into you.
All that collective wisdom is now yours.
Now imagine that standing in front of you is yourself.
Send yourself love.
Now swap places with yourself.
Feel what it feels like to receive all that love from the perfect mother,
The Divine Mother.
Now you are loved and know that she is always there for you.
And that you can always return to this place to feel that love.
So now it's time to leave.
Bow to her in deep gratitude.
And as you're walking with every step,
You bow.
And gently your eyes begin to open.
And you find yourself filled with love.
In your space.
