Living Our Life as Sacred. Nourishing Diversity within Wholeness of Family.

Diversity offers richness of natural strengths and skills, individual beauty, and individual purpose that serves to support the many different functions of a balanced, whole life. It is a fortunate family that chooses, creates, and crafts diversity within its wholeness; this family is rich, skilful, serves many as well as being with inner strength. But feeling fortunate is a choice of awareness, perspective, and attitude. Otherwise, diversity can be misused to create division, separation, exclusion, and harm causing us to feel like "the black sheep".

What Diversity Looks Like in Childhood

Not all parents appreciate diverse natures in their children, especially when their child's nature challenges existing beliefs and attitudes or triggers fears. Over and above physical features and health conditions, personality and natural tendencies of a child were not often appreciated or acknowledged. Feeling was something to ignore, guide, or mould rather than listen to as simple clarity for well-being. These days there is a trend to label what falls outside "normal" behaviour. But perhaps the immediate environment and lifestyle we choose is showing strain on our holistic well-being? In an effort to understand, perhaps we go to the other extreme these days by creating more boxes for people, and balance is yet to be cultivated. Our expressions of human Nature are vast and composite, naturally diverse. It is an outdated, unhelpful story to expect one nature to behave exactly like another - to be homogenous and hide individual radiance with natural qualities, beauty, and contribution - to be simply familiar with a known way of handling. It is also unkind to reduce people to labels that fall well-short of our wholeness, our full capacity and inner strength.

When difference steps into our family it is a time to learn, grow, evolve in our kindness. At this point, it is healing for a mother to feel in her heart that she is enough with her unconditional love; that she is joyfully expanding and fortunate to create and include another precious life within her own for a while. This tending with devotion is a sacred task of each and every new life. A mother needs to trust her inner stillness, her inner knowing, and embodied experiential wisdom to know what is needed for whole well-being. She has been a child once herself and she knows what is needed - her Nature knows what is needed.

When a family has strong existing life-principles and ways of being, challenge is inevitable. It is up to each family to value, include, and nourish each child's nature as part of the wealthy wholeness of their family. It is up to each parent to kindly protect, nourish, and actively encourage each child to flourish in their own nature while helping them feel rooted in their belonging, and uplifted within their own spirit, love, and purpose. Each child also has to learn to be our responsible half of the relationship and receive and give in balance with each parent as we mature.

Love, Trust, Acceptance

Love is our highest human creative and constructive power to engineer our inner and outer capacities and resources. Love is the unbreakable, insurmountable force and driver for Life's harmony and well-being.

Carey Twomey (Bharani) once said, 'trust is a feminine earthy quality'. Bringing spirit into form is the privileged role of a birth mother; to provide light the energy and breath in the tangible instrument of a human body to have a sensory experience of life on Earth. Trust is essential.

Acceptance is the ground upon which we take hold of reality and make long-term effort with courage and devotion to do all that we can towards flourishing. We understand and do what is needed while we let go, release, and transform any of our darkness into light; our grief and trauma towards blissful joy.

Creative Intelligence of Nature

It is a deep inner journey to feel at home in our whole sacred nature of spirit, love, and purpose; and to feel that we belong and are always part of our family and life-at-large. I have had to make this inner journey and so I support others in the same. I also try to reassure my husband and my three children that everything they need is always within them, and to trust their inner knowing and embodied wisdom.

'Nature is the source of all true knowledge.' (Leonardo Da Vinci)

It is joyful for me to notice, understand, and uphold the natural diversity within the wholeness of my family. Presence, attention, understanding, and involvement have been key ingredients for holistic well-being in our family. There have been many challenges along the way but therein lies a rich source of learning, growing, evolving for me as a mother, life-partner, and individual. My life is rich and flowing when I love, trust, accept the natures in my family just as they are. My role is to uphold wholeness and lead by example with inclusion and appreciation of all strengths and skills, no-one being greater or less than another. Of course, there are sacred principles and natural laws that we must all live within. First and always, I must value and appreciate my own sacred nature and life-opportunity and be self-responsible to lead, choose, create, and craft my personal experience of life as the best version of myself. My heart-mind space is my domain! My perspective, attitude, and level of joy are up to me! I do not allow another person or thing to hijack my happiness from within.

Healing Power of Sound

Sacred Vedic mantra is a healing vibrational force. I usually begin my client sessions by singing this Santipatha - Peace Invocation, Prayer for Harmony with Our Studies (click here to listen to the audio).

My ancestral lineages support me to live my life as sacred and uphold family. The Vedic healing system reconnects me with Nature's mystic wisdom and helps me nourish diversity within the wholeness of my family.
