This week, as winter turns to spring, we are inspired to shake ourselves loose from the long nights and to emerge with the blooming buds. The spring equinox is a brilliant portal of return and renew. Maybe your recent months have been spent planning your upcoming garden, dreaming a new idea or tending to the deeply rooted needs of your soul. Maybe you have made lists, set dates and envisioned goals for the sunshine filled days ahead. Now it is time to make room for the movement of fresh energy.
This week, you are invited to clear away the stagnant cold from the shelter that separates you from the flowering outdoors. If possible, wash the windows of your home, wipe down the front door and sweep clear all of the entrances. Pull back the curtains and (if you aren’t too impacted by seasonal pollen) open a few windows to welcome in a crisp breeze of the many awakenings. Make way for the light to flow through your sacred dwelling, illuminating the things that bring you joy and support your thriving for this season ahead.
And if all of this sounds like too much for your own journey this spring, honor your slow emergence. The next time it rains, give yourself the gift of sticking your head out the front door and welcoming a deep breath of the very Source that brings life to all that surrounds you.
How will you clear the way for what is here now?
