When we align ourselves with the primary action of each season, we can harness the energy that permeates the natural world and, thus, facilitate our own healing.
As spring begins, we notice a quiet awakening within. The long days of winter are giving way to warmth, light and a vibrating energy. All our plans that may have lain dormant are coming to life. Spring is the season of hope and renewal when, encouraged by the increase of light and warmth, we find the energy to take the necessary action that can push a tentative new beginning into full awakening.
Spring is green, tender, and alive. As nature wakes from her winter slumber and you observe the first pale green leaves unfolding out of the buds, ask yourself, “What is it that is longing to be born?”
Sometimes simply noticing the change of seasons is enough to facilitate an inner change. Spring is here to help you learn this new skill. Just like the first crocuses that bravely show their heads even when the threat of winter is still near, you can find the courage to fulfill your intentions.
The early weeks of spring often bring a quality of restlessness. As hopeful and optimistic as this season is, there’s always an element of discomfort in the world of transitions. Said bluntly, change is hard, so even when the change is positive, there’s a tingling of the soul that occurs when the old self falls away and the new one hasn’t fully emerged. When we understand these natural cycles of death and renewal, we can make space for them in our inner lives and make sense of the process of change.
If winter was a season of silence, invite the birds of spring to bring song back into your life. Today, I am alive and for that I am grateful. Today, I see love manifest in the miracles of nature and I whisper a quiet but certain Thank You.
