The most spiritual practice I have ever experienced is π
.
MOTHERHOOD
.
The deepest π«
Transformation, surrender, pain, light, presence, purity & innocence, awareness & mindfulness, kindness & compassion, protection of energies, level of things / persons falling off that donβt truly serve or offer support in your life, openness, sacrifice, metamorphosis ( s ), softness inside & out, acceptance, intelligence & wisdom, instinct, love and practice.
.
Just my every moment practice of motherhood each day, is my spiritual practice. And I honestly donβt have any more space or time to do anything else, but this. So itβs all consuming within every space within and without. And to sit with that and do it every hour every day ~ ooof . It is not an easy task. It takes complete commitment & dedication.
.
I have to go within as exhausted & sleep deprived that I am, and find stability & calm. Even if I feel like I canβt keep my eyes open anymore, I stay alert and clear. Even if I have hunger, I am selfless and put her needs before mine. Not much room for ego, except survival and fierce maternal instinct.
.
Self love these days looks like, loving her so unconditionally that I am loving myself through that and feeling fulfilled. It is looking in the mirror every day with her at my breast, and saying, you are beautiful exactly as you are. You might look and feel different, but you are beautiful and your beautiful body created this life . You are powerful . You might feel tired and weak, but you are strong and carrying your baby in your arms day and night and are the only thing sustaining her entirely in every way. It is looking in the mirror at both her and I and back at each other, seeing our reflections and showing her what love and beauty looks like.
.
Choosing to be so intentional with every aspect of what I do every day and how it affects her. Only focused on - what my actions do to affect this other being. And what I can do better or to be the best version of myself & mother.
.
Motherhood is a spiritual path. In my experience β the most devoted, direct one.

I am so full ππͺπ
