May 2021 - Love Note “Planting Seeds”
Divine Mother
All of creation is birthed and nurtured by the Divine Mother. Her energy is abundant, unlimited, ever present, and always flowing to each one of us. Like the Divine Mother, mothers love and support other beings -- humans, animals, and the whole earth. Mothers create and nurture new life. An integral part of mothering is waiting for life to unfold and for young to grow into their fullness. Mothering is the divine act of nurturing and holding space for new life to emerge and unfold.
Planting Seeds
May is springtime in the northern hemisphere. May is all about the fullness of springtime, a time to plant seeds and incubate eggs. And then wait! Waiting is an integral part of mothering. In the same way, we each plant seeds of new ideas and new endeavors. We nurture these and patiently await for the new endeavor to show itself.
What seeds would you like to plant in May? What would you like to manifest in your life in the coming months? Would you like to plant seeds of hope? Would you like to grow a new idea? Increased confidence? brighter self-worth? deeper faith?
Suggestion:
Connect with Mother Earth! When we connect with Mother Earth, we can more deeply tap into our Inner Self where our desires are stored. This is about listening to your heart.
Set the intention for your desires to show themselves.
Try This:
Heart-centered Meditation
You will need pen and paper.
Read through the steps first, then give it a try.
Find a quiet place to sit with Mother Nature, ideally outside by a tree, alongside water, in a park or even by a window (if you cannot get outside).
Sit comfortably and quiet yourself. Relax.
Focus on your breathing.
Allow your mind to wander. After a few minutes, try to see your mind’s thoughts as clouds or balloons floating by.
Once you feel a bit detached from your thoughts, bring your focus into your body. Notice any sensations in your body.
Place your hands over your heart.
Breathe deeply 3 to 4 times.
Notice the energy of your heart. Smile!
What feelings arise? What ideas pop in? Try to let this flow. Be aware that your mind might want to jump in and take over. If it does, focus on your breathing until the mind relaxes again.
Enjoy this time in your heart for as long as fits. When you are ready, gently bring yourself back into the present moment.
Write! Before any interruptions, write about the feelings, desires, and ideas that came to you. Let it flow!
Let these desires and ideas be the seeds you plant during May.
In closing, I want to remind you how deeply loved you are by the Divine Mother just simply because you are part of creation. You have the power within yourself to make positive joyful change in your life, to plant your seeds, and allow yourself the time and space to grow. Thank you for joining me on this journey to love, heal, and grow! I look forward to talking to you next week about Child’s Pose. If you have any questions or comments send them my way.

Always remember that you are loved beyond measure!
Lovingly,
Susan
