Cancer New Moon – Dancing the Divine Feminine

.Reading time 8 minutes.

Try this – Send yourself back in time, to before you were born. See your mother as a young woman. See her just before you were a spark of existence. Send her that love-filled, joy-filled. See yourself giving your mother a hug, send her blessings, surround her with light and love and assure her that you are grateful for your life and that life is good. Imagine sending her encouraging words. Imagine your mother having everything she needs to feel loved, safe, and nurtured. Imagine your etheric self embracing your mother and sending her love safety and nourishment. Imagine sending yourself love, safety, and nourishment. Trust that all is well.
