Be whole in every little task you do.
Be present in every moment of your day.
Honour what your life is made of, the feelings of sadness together with the ones of joy - honour them.
Do not fear the boredom or the anger.
Know that no moment is empty, no gesture is unimportant.
Use all your tasks to your advantage and, living them fully, make it your meditation.
Like when you are traveling, you know? And every detail is worthy of a picture. Or when you are performing on stage, and every stare, step or word is carefully chosen and ritualistically executed, because it is so full of meaning.
And when you clean the house for instance, I mean, when you have small children and you clean the house try not to hurry this time, and don't get attached to a specific result, stuck with an expectation of getting things tidy, clean, under control...
Just clean, with all your heart, and try to enjoy it.
Have you heard of the colourful sand mandala meditation? There are Buddhist monks that dedicate their time to create amazing mandalas, with intricate patterns and elaborate colour compositions made only with sand! Yes, these are breathtaking works of art than can be so big they cover the whole of the temple floor. And do you know what happens when the work is finished? One of the monks comes and... Sweeps it... With just an ordinary broom...
Be open to accept this sacredness into your daily life as a mother...
Your home is that awesome palace you visited once, your family the Gods in those altars you saw (and maybe for a moment even worshiped).
Remember... Your life is made of small miracles... Sometimes happening so very fast.
Happy #meditationForMothers, #ommmmmmamma
