Holding light & dark
As we approach Mother’s Day this Sunday and a Scorpio Full Moon on Monday, we may experience some unsettling energy. Relationships with our mothers are ideally loving and supportive, yet that is not always the case. Societal expectations often prevent us from acknowledging for ourselves and validating for others that the mother-child relationship experienced may not have met our needs. I truly believe that all mothers do the best they can in the moment and I also truly believe that it often not enough or far off the mark. This Scorpio Full Moon invites us to open to both the light and the dark in our lives and relationships. Holding it, exploring it, honoring it all with equanimity, remembering that the dark does not negate the light and the light is what keeps us moving forward. We will never be this particular version of ourselves again. Let us embrace all of who we are with love and compassion as we move through each day with gratitude and grace.

I look forward to seeing you online at Saturday Morning Yoga this week to connect, listen to our bodies, and care for them with lovingkindness. Sign up for next Saturday’s (May 17th) Full Moon Sound Bath to soothe your body, mind and spirit.
