For many, Mother’s Day is a challenging day as well as a day of beauty and remembrance. Mothering is the most complex task assigned to human beings because it requires a radical depth of strength and compassion as well as the heavy responsibilities of gestation and birth.
This Mother’s Day, I feel called to focus on our collective Gaia Cosmic Mother instead of our physical mothers. Since my mother is no longer with me on the physical plane, I’ve become more aware of her presence as part of the broader cosmos. It’s a reminder that we are always held, protected, and nurtured – and not just by our human partners and family in this particular lifetime. Join me in Honoring Our Gaia Cosmic Mother for Mother’s Day.
Who is the Gaia Cosmic Mother?
Across thousands of years and miles, the Gaia Cosmic Mother reigned supreme. She has shown up both in nature and in so many myths across different cultures throughout history. She is known by other names both familiar and obscure – Mother Mary, Isis, Demeter, Shekhinah, Danu, and many more. She’s the mother who will never let you down or disappoint you, and at the end of our lives, she receives each of us back again, in a ceaseless spiral of life, death, and rebirth.
However the Gaia Cosmic Mother manifests in your spiritual practice, we owe her many thanks for this life. She is the creator of every last thing we require for nourishment, wholeness, and happiness – from the air we breathe to the food we consume, to the stable ground upon which we walk and rest.
