Happy Spring!
With the warmer weather and longer days, I’ve definitely noticed a shift in my energy! It’s so lovely to see the sunlight shining outside while I’m making dinner. Not only do I feel lighter, but my days are more joyful - it’s amazing what sunshine can do! They say laughter is the best medicine, and I totally agree, but the combination of both definitely improves my mental and emotional health!
What does spring mean to you? I love spring! It’s a time for rebirth, regrowth, vibrant colors, and the promise of warmer weather. Spring means BBQ season has arrived, the camping season is near, and summer will soon be knocking on the door.
But, what does spring mean spiritually to us humans? I think, as humans, that every season affects our energy and causes a significant shift. In the winter, we go within and become more introspective. In the spring, we experience a rebirth – physically, spiritually, and emotionally. We are more outwardly focused. Spring is the perfect time for an energetic reboot!
Many of us experience the winter blues - I’m one of them. For those that struggle with this, I encourage you to use the spring energy as an opportunity to upgrade and expand our consciousness.
There are different ways we can work with this energy. Spring is an excellent time to start something new. We can start with spring cleaning, which may lead us to a home refresh. Perhaps you want to start a new hobby!
It’s a beautiful time to enjoy nature and meditate. Meditating in nature helps us connect with this energy and boosts our mood - not to mention it’s a great way to connect with the earth.
Plants and gardening have a magical effect on our energy! Spending time in the garden, nurturing plants through the season, transplanting existing plants, and eating fresh local produce can foster the sense of a fresh start.
As spring is coming alive, the same thing is happening with you! Our spirits are coming alive with hopeful energy. We feel inspired, have fresh ideas, are excited to try new things. It’s important to choose what ideas you want to focus on during this season because spring brings clarity. What do you want to see grow in your life?
Use this season to just have fun! Approach your new ideas and dreams with a light-heartedness and if it calls to you, go for it! And then, look closely at what seeds you want to plant and decide what you want to harvest in the months ahead!
Until next time…spring is in the air!
