Most of us move through life on auto-pilot, which makes so much sense. The pace of everything is fast and requires so much of our attention.
It's easy to end up stressed, frazzled, burnt out and feel like our cups are only half full - especially when we're mothers or parents, caregivers in any capacity, healing arts practitioners, teachers or facilitators, or just living meaningful lives in any way.
Today's guest, founder and director of the Center for Sacred Window Studies, Christine Eck, shares guidelines she's developed to help herself (and her students) cultivate a healing presence and wellbeing in their lives and practices.
These Universal Mother Principles include:
- Intention
- Simplicity
- Flexibility
- Compassion
- Listening and Intuition
- Grounding
- Non-judgment
- Presence
In other words, a recipe for living a well nourished, meaningful, and generative life.
We chat about how these principles emerged for her, as well as what each of them means in context and some practical examples of ways you can incorporate them into your daily life or practice.
This is such a beautiful, inspiring conversation full of wisdom, relevant throughout all of our womb phases.
