"In my quest for answers beyond medical explanations, amidst the grief of my losses, somewhere deep within I knew there was so much more going on behind the scenes."

The classic magazine image of mother and baby, tenderly gazing into each other's eyes, evokes a sense of profound connection and love. But this image, while beautiful, can both inspire and trigger many emotions. 

 

Images such as these only capture a mere glimpse of motherhood and the depth of relationship between a mother and her baby. Whether cradling your baby in your arms, awaiting their arrival or grieving their loss, the connection lives on.

 

In this article my intention is to expand your thoughts on the connection between mother and baby that goes beyond this lifetime to before they have even arrived or after loss. 

 

My personal journey to motherhood, marked by multiple miscarriages and the heart-breaking choice to release my daughter Rosa due to medical complications, alongside the joy of raising two sons, propelled me into wanting to know more. 

 

Questions swirled; Why the unexplained losses? What had I done to ‘deserve’ this? Why did I feel a bond with my babies I’d never held? Why did they arrive, why didn’t they stay, were they ok? And why did my boys feel so familiar, as if I had known them before?

 

In my quest for answers beyond medical explanations, amidst the grief of my losses, somewhere deep within I knew there was so much more going on behind the scenes. 

 

Through my healing journey, I opened up to the world of life before life and life after life. I began to see the profound threads of connection we have with our babies across time and space. 

 

One message from spirit baby was: “For many of us, that is our role, to open you to the possibility that there are other realms.”

 

This is the opportunity our babies offer us. They ‘see’ you, they know you, who you are, all you are and your life purpose and potential. They lift and inspire us to remember this in ourselves. 

 

You’ve likely heard the saying – ‘our children are our greatest teachers’. They really are, pushing those buttons and unearthing buried emotions and wounds from our childhoods and relationship with our own mothers – how we experience ‘mother’.  And this is the same even if you’re not holding them in your arms.

 

But why is this the case?

"Because your relationship together is deeply connected to the aspect of Mother that has been devalued over generations, suppressed, made small, even divisive as to who is or who isn’t a mother in the physical sense."

What if there was more to this energy of mother and all that swirls around this? More to you, more to your babies and your time with them beyond the thoughts and beliefs of your mind that society has imposed. 

 

What if you expanded your sense of mother and acknowledged the primordial energy of Mother birthing all creation? Spirit babies remind us if you are preparing to be a mother, know you already are. You’ve carried this role across lifetimes, chosen by and for each other long before they arrive. Underneath the fears, is a pure connection with this creative life energy of mother.

 

You could journal on what the word mother brings up for you. Write until you feel complete and are at a point of love and connection with this energy. You’re writing away those hidden beliefs and imprints and finding your own, unique connection with the energy of mother.

 

You and your babies are healing these ancient wounds of how women have been seen and treated, to rise out of the hurts and beliefs of the past and find yourself, your truth of who you are as a woman and as a mother. 

 

Our babies have so much to offer to help lift us out of these layers of hurts and experiences that tell us the opposite.
