Your Mother Archetype
Regardless of what mothering
you experienced in childhood, your inner Loving Mother brings warmth
and nurturance to encourage you on your way. Your Loving Mother
archetype draws out the best in you and helps you to succeed. She
teaches, guides, explains and gives you unconditional love. She
provides the intimacy that exists between a mother and her child
and she helps you to be intimate with others. In every situation,
she provides the healing unguent of wisdom and unconditional love
that soothes all distress.
The presence of Unloving Mother within you is the extreme opposite.
With Unloving Mother, you experience an abandoning and aloof energy
towards yourself and towards others. You may also compensate with
a self-indulgent and indulging spoiling mechanism (smother-mother.)
When this happens, you encourage yourself and the people around
you to pursue the "mommy" things of life inordinately—like
food, sex, drugs, money and shopping—to fill the inner void
that comes from the lack of true Loving Mother nurturance within.
The following questions can
help you assess the Loving Mother’s presence in your life:
Am I warm and personal?
Am I nurturing and caring?
Do I encourage and support myself and others?
Do I give counsel to others when they need it?
Can I love people no matter what mistakes they make?
Am I available when I am needed?
Do I recognize gifts and talents, be they mine or others?
Do I help myself and others deal with pain?
Do I respect independence for myself and my loved ones?
Do I nurture those who are ailing?
If you answered yes to most of these questions,
your Loving Mother is very present in your life. If not, these affirmations
can help you to expand her presence in your life.
