Becoming a mother prompts a transformation so profound that it entails a shape shifting into a new state of being. The transmutation of self and the inherent alchemy that occurs during this passage is akin to a caterpillar dying to become a butterfly. A radical change in the experience of life occurs and it is one that deserves to be talked about, embraced and celebrated.
As we become mothers we become creatrices. The process of giving birth in itself opens us to become chalices for life to come through. Through this process we are transformed and reborn into a new state of being. Our inherent power becomes activated, as we are called to serve our children and our family.
As mothers we become the nurturers, the caretakers, and the ones that have the ability and responsibility to heal the past and create a new future for our children. Through our choices and our willingness to become more aware, we open to the possibility of healing and transmuting what has been with what can be.
Through the alchemizing passage of Motherhood, we give birth not only to our children, but also ourselves. We are reborn into our fullness as we uncover the innate strength and power that comes with being a woman.
Becoming a Mother is a great honor, for it’s a stepping into an ancient archetypal force and journey of discovery that our mothers and grandmothers and all women in all time have journeyed on.
It is major, it’s powerful, it’s beautiful, it’s challenging, it’s empowering, it’s heart opening and it’s all encompassing. There is no doubt the experience defines us.
Through it we learn to dance the cosmic dance. Balance and flow become our guides as we learn the importance of also nurturing our selves, as we navigate all the different aspects and responsibilities of our lives.
We must embrace this dance with the great mystery of life as it calls us to become a vessel of her love.
The path may not be an easy one but it’s one that activates our abilities to be the centers points between earth and sky, to be the channels of the divine feminine and to awaken to our full potential as creatices.

This article and website have become guides to the transitions of my life.
As a male human, I often thought I was just one side of an equation. However the past few years of spiritual transition, a child has been guided to mine and my husband’s life. These past few weeks I have had yet another heart shift which has changed my perception of this world and where I fit in. I have found the full flood of maternal energy shift within myself has balanced out the masculine energy already strengthening over the years.
This shift has been profound as I feel deep connection with mothers from eons past; this has come with a new type of strength built from love, compassion, harmony and creation. My humbleness to accept this true balance of energies comes with more respect for the mothers that have been and will always be. My heart opening now realizes we all have a balance to offer to ourselves so that we may help others. I pray more male energies out there awaken their heart to the feminine already present in their life and that the feminine energies balance their masculine and we may all shift together to a universal role of balanced energies able to create a future dream world where we thrive with love.
Thank you for the creation for this website, and thank you for posts such as these to help us all see and feel more clearly.
