When we see and understand motherhood to be an accelerated spiritual awakening it provides comfort in what can sometimes be a hugely challenging journey.
The more I embrace and accept the reality - that motherhood was always and will always be a spiritual awakening (and spiritual awakenings ARE not usually peachy) - I feel better able to roll with the punches and show up for the work to be done.
The joy, the incredible heart opening, the avalanche of love mixed with the shadows, the childhood wounds, the daily triggers - this is what a spiritual awakening looks like. And to me, this is what motherhood is. A perfect platform for deep growth and soul expansion.
