At the end of each stage of life we must retreat to process and let go of the experiences and/or difficulties of this period. In these times we are surrounded by an energy characterized by the nurturing love of Mother Earth and the cosmic womb of the Goddess. When we are in this phase we need a huge amount of love, acceptance, compassion and care. Sometimes it’s hard to give it to ourselves, maybe we don’t know how to do it, so we can often feel unwanted, neglected, rejected or unloved. We may need tenderness, care and nurturing, taken from ourselves. Rest in the womb of Mother Earth is a possibility available to all, when we feel the need.
