I’m Deanna,
Eva daughter,
Daughter of La Serena,
Rozsa’s daughter,
Mother Earth’s daughter …

I’m Deanna,
Her mother,
Grandmother of life …

I’m here!

Thus begins one of my favorite rituals 🙂

In circles of women around the world I have observed how some participants were excited to cry with the simple but deep act of invoking their maternal lineage.

Honor our maternal lineage

Regardless of how the relationship with your biological mother is, of any difference that may be between you, or any painful memory you can have about your way of raising, the undisputed fact remains: your mother menstruated every month under the roof of your childhood’s house. Since the beginning of your adolescence, both have menstruated under that same roof, perhaps without talking about it, often without honoring the rule, and probably with some emotional or physical discomfort that was not recognized or shared …

The red thread of our monthly cycle unites us all women: Our mother, grandmothers, great -grandmothers and all the women of our ancestral line, until the most remote past in the mists of time.

Recognize this connection deeply nourishes our soulin the same way that feeling disconnected from our maternal lineage hurts us, in more aspects of which we can imagine.

The «Law Society» in which we live is based on the idea that everything begins with us! But, of course, there is little that is so.

We grow from deeply planted roots in the fertile field of our ancestors. We carry your genetic signature in our body, in our characteristics, even our features. Let’s embellish your legacy with our own uniqueness, transmitting a living heritage to our daughters and our sons.

This is an invitation to honor your maternal lineage as a living thread in the tapestry of who you are.

Reflect on the amazing fact that you and all your maternal ancestors have bleeding every month to give life. He acknowledges that without menstruation – none of you could have given birth. Celebrate the fact that you are a link in a chain of generations that began before time, and will continue long after you have gone. Honor the fact that we are all united through the deep and visceral connection of our moon time: our monthly menstruation.

If you have children, sit in silence with your son or daughter, and name your maternal lineage. Then invite him or she to name his, which will be the same as yours, and also include his name and yours as his mother.

Tell them of all endearing forms in which they can be like their grandmother or great -grandmother. What characteristics or features do you see in them that remind you of women in your maternal lineage? This will not only strengthen the link between you, but will also begin to create a deep sense of belonging in your son or daughter.

When we know where we come from, we can be clearer in where we are going … Sharing the names of the women of your maternal lineage with your children, remembering them all, and recognizing the tacit link between you, is an experience that deeply anchor to the earth. It brings continuity and awareness. It is a gift for you, for your children for the coming generations.
