Mothering
Mothering is characteristic of a woman’s feminine instinctive energy that displays nurturing, caring, creating beauty, love, kindness, and protection. Normally this is portrayed by a mother towards her children and family. Mothering can also refer to a woman who is not the biological mother if she fulfils the main role of mothering a child and others.
Mothering can also be displayed towards yourself, family members, spouses, parents and grandparents, friends, pets and animals, your home, work, the environment, and various groups or interests.
Usually, the skills and displays of Mothering are passed on with each new generation from grandmother, to mother, to daughter.
Men can also display this attribute, without being labelled feminine; but the instinct of mothering is not as characteristic in men as it is in women. Also, most men are hormonally wired differently and programmed for warfare instead of peace and love.
In Nature, everything has a balance of both feminine and masculine energy. Yet, this beautiful and vital characteristic of Mothering is rarely if ever outwardly displayed, valued, or respected by most Western cultures, especially in today’s modern world. Considering the value of mothers, motherhood, and Mothering, this void creates a massive imbalance in all aspects of life with long-term consequences.
Unfortunately, many cultures display and promote a dominance of masculine energy, which adds to this imbalance; and when there is an imbalance, there is violence, discord, and warfare at a high cost. This plays a big part in why there are so many never-ending wars, domestic violence, broken families, physical and mental illnesses, and blow out Budgets. War and warfare are among the worst detriments to Mothering.
