Mother's Day

The Transformative Power of Love – 28 Days of Rumi

A Celebration of Mothers and a Foundation of Love.

Mothers are usually our first Love Lesson teachers. Mother energy is essential to our understanding of nurturing, love, connection, and sacrifice. And so, we are celebrating Mother’s Day this year with a 28-day inspirational focus on Rumi, love, and the soul.

Rumi is one of the greatest poets when it comes to love and mystical spirituality.  His writing, when used as a point of focus in meditation, takes us beyond the trivialities of love. He re-orients us to the deeper transformation of love and it’s source, the soul. Through Rumi, we can dive deeper into the profound power of love, connection, and relationship.

As part of your Mother’s Day celebrations, try focusing on the details of what mother in your life has brought you. This focus can be on your own mother, an important mother figure, or someone you experience as mothering energy. You might even try to consider it from the perspective of your own role as mother.

The exercise will take you most deeply when you are able to be specific. Be detailed. How have you felt loved?  How were you taught to hold on? How were you taught to let go? How were you nurtured? Protected? How do you experience mother energy? Does this energy connect you to mother Earth?

Here are few ideas to get you started:

  • Mother for the time that you sacrificed by…
  • Thank you, mother for the time that you taught me about trust by…
  • Mother, for the love and support while I went through the difficult time of…
  • Thank you, mother for seeing and supporting my gifts of….
  • Mother, for holding me through….

Strive throughout the day to see and to understand the impact that the mothers ahead of us on the path have made on the lives of those that they support and care for in the world. Use the beautiful words of Rumi over the next weeks to explore the power of love, spirit, and transformation in your own life.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Soul Bridging!
