Meditation: Mothers United

As you breastfeed your baby, gently bring your attention to other mothers. Think of the mother across the street who may be breastfeeding her baby just now. The mother across the state or across the other side of the world, who breastfeeds her baby with such tenderness.

Think of your own mother, and her mother, and all the way back through your foremothers. Even if your mother or grandmother did not breastfeed, think of how gently she bottle fed her babies. You are here today because each mother cared for her baby, giving him or her all the nourishment that they needed.

As we breastfeed, we are all connected. We are united, giving to our babies from our bodies and souls.

Namaste.
