Spring Season
Honoring the shifting seasons allows us to receive the full medicine of change and creates room for prosperity as we detach from what no longer serves us when we are willing to transform alongside the earth.
Spring or Vernal Equinox. The day that equals night. Traditionally it is celebrated as a day of equilibrium and calling in balance between the waxing light and the fertile darkness. The importance of the spring season is that the daylight will start increasing, so we will experience more light, reminding us that the light will always return to earth. So…the equinox is the representation of new life and light, new beginnings, path, and seeds.
Spring is a season for considering our own metaphorical rebirth, as we shed our winter layers and find equilibrium between the shadows of colder months behind us and the blazing spirit of what is yet to come.
Growth Emerges from Darkness
Winter can be a difficult season, the days are short, trees and plants are barren, and overall the energy is one of hibernation. Spring reminds us there is potential hiding in the darkness, just waiting for the right moment to bloom. This lesson applies to our lives as well. There can be difficult seasons, times where we feel buried but there is always hope and we should never give up. “They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.”
You Can Always Start Over
Spring also shows us the beauty of fresh starts, and of letting go of what no longer serves us. No matter how harsh the winter season might have been, spring starts anew and that requires a certain amount of letting go of the parts that are dead. It is a season that surrounds us with growth and reminds us that we too are capable of growth.
So often we cling to what we know in life, whether it be people, habits, or vices. Even if we might be aware that these things are not supporting us, we feel drawn to them because they are familiar. Change can be scary and difficult but on the other side of that fear is some much possibility and potential. “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
It is Time to Plant the Seeds
Being that now is a time of growth, it is an excellent opportunity to plant seeds that can be sowed in the summer and fall months. The earth is fertile, and the time is now. Think about what you would like the summer and fall months to look like. What do you want to be doing? Where do you want to be? Begin to develop the habits now that will get you to where you want to be in the future.
As the day and the night are equal on the 20th of March, this equinox is also the representation of our needs for balance during this period. It will be the time of new beginnings, renewal, and growth. We can say that this equinox is definitely the best period of the year, in order to focus on some new projects, or get rid of something which doesn’t serve us anymore, and to find the balance we need in life.
Basically, the Spring Equinox is practically, physically, emotionally and spiritually a FABULOUS time of energetic opportunity.
