demonstrating fantastic
organizational skills and
unparalleled multitasking
abilities. So why is there still
such a discrepancy? Women
are surging in their influence
and taking their rightful
place as government and
corporate leaders, pioneers in
the fields of medicine, science,
technology, law enforcement,
education, and every other
career under the sun, often
while raising families as well.
So why do we still not see
equal pay for equal work? The
differential speaks volumes
about the ongoing sexism here
in America, as well as abroad.
(And don’t even get me started
about the horrific treatment
of women in third world
countries!)
So often in my Constellation
healing practice I see the
subtle (and sometimes notso-subtle) ways in which
misogynistic attitudes are
passed down from one
generation to another. And
what’s even sadder is that
it’s not just the men who buy
into the old belief systems. All
too often women will feel a
sense of loyalty to their female
family lines, even if history
had denied those ancestors
their voice. In other words, on
an unconscious level, some
women may feel they are
betraying their family system
if they choose to do things
Mother
A mother resides at the heart of our core.
She nurtured and raised us to be so much more.
Even though she didn’t know what life had in store,
she gave us whatever we needed, plus lessons galore.
Mom is what I now call the “heart of my core”—
though her life has now passed, the lessons of love
she gave us mean so much more.
Now that I see that I am on my own, I’ve been given
the chance to use what was shown by our mother so
dear, as for her, my loves, she is no longer here. It is
up to me now to remain smart and clear.
Armed with the wisdom she left us for all of her
dears, I can almost hear her say “worry not, my love,
there’s nothing to fear.”
She may be in heaven now but she’s really still right
here. Nestled within my beating heart it’s a love I hold
so dear.
Yes, it is you, dear mother, I hold so close in my
memories year after year.
I know now you are the core of my heart of this life I
hold dear.
I will be with you when the time is right, and I know
there is nothing to fear.
A mother’s love comes from above but remains at the
heart of my core.
Now that she is gone, I must
carry on for the one that I’ll
always adore.
With every beat of my heart, she
was there from the start, and
I’ll miss her forevermore.
