Mothers Leading By Example

Our heart has only one agenda and that is to keep beating and keep us alive! We can trust its inner inspiration and vital purpose, to be steadfast in expressing our light with love through our life.

What does "light" mean? In practical terms, it is our core vitality and natural creative intelligence that empowers our life through the function of our physical heart. In sacred terms, it is the creative seed-intelligence and solar warmth that provides steadfast security and purpose from within our metaphoric heart. Some call it "Spirit" or "Soul". We nourish and protect our heart through the feeling aspect of our mind (our inspiration for creating beauty and receptive capacity for love). Our feeling capacity relates to our physical pericardium, lungs, and chest. Our embodied human nature is a finely-calibrated instrument with vital internal connections, both dense and subtle, that enable us to be alive and have a sensory experience of our Earth for a while. We use our body with its essential nature - our life-long instrument for living - to express our personal light with our personal reflection of love. It is up to us to take care of these things and lead our life from within, rather than for someone else's purpose.

Listening to our heart's inspiration is vital, and sharing our light with love rather than causing harm. We must be quietly present with our self to feel what beauty and purpose mean to us personally. Then choose and take daily action or inaction to create an outcome within our daily-life-time.

As mothers, we lead our families from the heart, protecting and nourishing each life to flourish in its own nature, no matter the circumstance. We can only do this through daily self-trust and diligent, essential self-care. If we want our children to take care of their body, mind, and spirit, we must show how this is done. It is big work that we choose; to grow and nourish the next generation of people. We must be in partnership and cooperation with fathers to put our egos aside and nourish each child as a life in their own right; with their own beauty and purpose to contribute with their light and love. And we must continue to lead in natural beauty and purpose, and contribute our light with love throughout our life.

Essentially, we must all be motivated towards well-being and be diligent to tend to our inner harmony so we can add to our collective harmony. This refers to cultivating harmony between our life, light, and love. Our children become leaders of their own life as they grow. But parents lead first, by example, every day, both mothers and fathers. Our children watch what we do, not listen to what we say. We show what is possible!

It is a simple matter to remember that we are born whole and part of the wholeness, and value our heart's purpose and natural abilities enough to use them in a way that creates harmony for self and others. But it does require willingness, acceptance, and devotion.

At Blue Sparrow Ayurveda, we work together on inner harmony and life-focus, supporting parents and individuals to lead their nourishing life of purpose and empower their families to do the same. We lead by daily example using food-as-medicine and behavioural practice, supported by the greater rhythms and movement of Life and Nature (that we all belong to, are always connected to, reliant upon, and affecting every day).
