3.44 | June 2021 Oracle Forecast Featuring Lauren Gandharva

We expect our mothers to be infallible— all-knowing, all-caring superwomen who can solve every problem and care for us in every situation. Combined with the lack of connection to the divine feminine in society, we can feel an extreme lack in our lives and deeply crave this lost female influence.By healing our Mother wounds and tapping into the power of the Divine Feminine, we can click these pieces of the puzzle into place to help ourselves flourish rather than getting stuck in our never-ending 'lack' mentalities. Today I have the absolute pleasure of interviewing someone that you may know from Love and Light, Lauren Gandharva. She's the project manager and community manager for the Love and Light School so you may have seen her around in our Facebook student group popping in and answering comments online, or helping you with emails, but she's also an amazing tarot and oracle card expert. I just love the connection that I've made with Lauren over these past few years. So Lauren, thank you so much for being here with us today.Lauren Gandharva: Thanks for having me on Ashley. It's exciting to get to talk to you just about crystals for a while because we talk every day, obviously, but this is kind of fun to get together and chat.Ashley: Yeah. It's fun to just kind of switch things up and do it a little differently. I'm really happy to be talking to you about this topic for today, which is how to heal the Mother Wound using crystals. Can you tell us a little bit about the Mother Wound and how this got brought forward into our consciousness as something that we work through with healing? Lauren: Yeah, absolutely. So, it's a pretty complex thing and it's so amazing when you kind of get into it, because you can go so deep with this topic. But the Motherwound is this idea that there is a wound in our souls that we have. It seems on the surface that it might have something to do with our own mothers and the relationship that we have with them, which is such a sacred bond. They are the people who birthed us, or who raised us, so we can have a really interesting dynamic with our own mothers. When we look closer, we really see that the relationship we have with our mothers can be a reflection of the relationship that we have with the divine feminine in our society and the lack that we've had of that growing up. Especially here for us, we grew up without this presence, without knowing that this was something that's happening in our lives in so many different ways. It's important to look at both aspects: both our relationships with our mothers and with the divine feminine as a level of consciousness.Ashley: Do you have a few examples of what the Mother Wound might look like in terms of our relationship with our own mothers? How does it manifest in our lives?Lauren: I think for a lot of us, it kind of builds up as a little bit of resentment. That doesn't mean that we just hate our mothers and we are out to get them and we think that they've done terrible jobs with us. Instead, it's like, even if we have an amazing relationship with them, we feel that maybe they could have done things differently, or that we wished for this constant affection from them and this constant perfection in the way that they nurture us. That's obviously impossible for them to do, because they're also women who have been living in this society and they've been nurtured in different ways and had a lot of lacks in their lives as well. So, we kind of want this nurture so badly from them and we start to resent them in different ways when they can't give us everything that we need and all the support that we need in the different phases of our lives.Sometimes, we take it out on our mothers when really we should be focusing on connecting with the divine feminine as a whole to nourish that hole that's left in our souls.Ashley: That's such a good explanation. I do think that you're absolutely right.
