My Mothering Patchwork Quilt

The mothering I received growing up was patchy to say the least. And just plain not enough for who I was and what I needed.

For many years I was extremely sad, sometimes even bitter or angry about it. And my heart was often cold.

Eventually I decided that I was a more pleasant person when I was happy so I decided to forgive. That took care of the angry bitterness but it did not keep my heart warm.

An Australian friend told me of a tradition where mothers sew a patchwork quilt for their child out of that child's favorite clothes, for years, adding the items one at a time. And the quilt grows with the child.

I started imagining the love my mother had given me as being a baby blanket that is the center piece of my patchwork quilt. Clearly that center piece was much too small for who I was as an adult so every time I met a woman that I felt was a good mother or who mothered me for a while, or gave wonderful hugs,

I imagined adding a patch of their loving mothering energy to my quilt.

I was creating my Mothering Patchwork Quilt,

not only in my mind but as a real energy of love around me.

My mothering patchwork quilt is quite big now. And very colorful. It is soft, comfortable. It keeps my heart and my whole energetic body warm, wrapped up in a comfy blanky of wonderful mothering love!

It has got so big that I can even share it with my kids, friends and clients.

If the mothering you received was insufficient, you can add to it any time, starting today, till you receive what your heart desires! En-JOY!!

Creation in Motion

What desire drives you? Is it the desire to love more? The desire to BE love? To love the Divine and be at one with it? To experience Love on Earth?

If it is, then let Love carry you. Again. And again. Into compassion.

The day you die, how much of Love will you have become? How much of you will be Love? How much love will you have created and will you be taking back to the Creator when you merge back into Source?

Speak your love softly and watch life create itself.

What does the Divine desire? What do YOU create when you desire?

Let Love carry you. Again. And again. Into compassion.

The emotion of Love creates the motion of life.

When you experience Love you experience creation.

When you are Love you experience the Divine unfolding, creating itself from its mystery, into eternity.

Awareness is Love. Gratitude is Love. Trust is Love. From which we create more Love.

What is YOUR driving desire?

Being With the Kids IS the Spiritual Workshop

Of course family comes first and children' s needs come first.

I know: I am a Mom to 3 and a step mom to 2.

I was pregnant, breastfeeding or homeschooling for over 16 years, non-stop: that's kids 24/7 !!
During that time: I was earning an income from home. I became a Reiki Master, a kinesiologist and a Quantum Healer . I moved my family across continents 3 times. Unfortunately I was a single mom for about half of that time. I am still smiling and happy. So are my kids. They are healthy, popular, compassionate, respectful and well adjusted contributing members of their community. Of course they are Indigo and Crystal children so that helped!

Do you know how I did it?

By turning what I did everyday with and for my family into my core spiritual practice.

By applying all the spiritual precepts and energy tools I was studying in books right here and now in my family life. By using all the healing tools I was learning to keep my kids healthy and emotionally and spiritually balanced: to keep fevers down, to strengthen immune systems, to help with sleep, to transmute jealousy, anger, sadness, to create joy, cooperation and sharing. We are a Reiki family and a Quantum Healing family.

And family gives you plenty of opportunities to be Loving, which is being spiritual. Through loving each other, we love the Divine and create more divine experience.

Your family is creation in motion. Your family is everyday spiritual practice.

U have everything u need right there: your children are your teachers and you are given plenty of opportunities every day to practice patience, compassion, love, self-love, service, forgiveness. Sounds to me like rigorous spiritual training!

Nowadays I attune whole families to Reiki. I support children and parents in keeping balanced and healthy. I am passionate about supporting parents and creating loving cooperation through everyday spiritual awareness.

You do not need to go to the temple, the monastery or the top of the mountain. YOUR home is the new sacred place, the new spiritual workshop.
