Spring Equinox is here, and it is time to ponder the miraculous power of regeneration. Persephone has returned to the upper world and life re-awakens. Buds swell, birds sing, and trees burst into flower. There is joy and exuberance – despite the craziness, suffering and sorrow we witness every day.

At the Spring Equinox, light and dark hang in the balance. From now on, the sun gathers strength with every passing day. Mother Earth, violated and marred by war, yet again, dons her spring garment and gradually turns the land lush and green.

Spring Equinox – Focus on what matters most

The garden calls, and the soil eagerly receives the seeds. Are you tending your garden? What will you grow this season? Where is your energy going and what habits will you cultivate?

The garden is a physical space, as well as a metaphorical one. The inner ‘garden’ also needs attentive care, weeding, pruning and nurturing.

At home, it is time to clear out the winter dust. Spring-cleaning, painting, and decorating are on the agenda.

Likewise, the body also needs cleansing and care. Boost your energy and vital spirit with fresh vitamins and the nutrients of early spring herbs. When the body is strong, so is the mind!

 

Spring Equinox – Celebrate life

Get ready for the season, invite the sunshine in, and make the most of these fleeting joys! Life becomes infinitely rich when we walk mindfully and celebrate each flower or butterfly we meet along the way.

Focus on what matters most to you and make your intentions clear. Life is short and precious. The power to make your garden flourish lies in your hands. Use it.

The Spring Equinox is a time of new beginnings. Let’s celebrate the mysteries of rejuvenation and eternal return, tender yet charged with the energy of daring and boldness.

Happy Spring Equinox!

A new cycle is beginning – but what a strange beginning it is, with half the world in lock-down! The earth is waking from her winter retreat. Persephone is returning to the upper world and life is ready to burst forth again. At Spring Equinox, the forces of light and dark are hanging in the balance. But with every passing day, the sun is gaining strength now. Birds are returning and are singing their little hearts out to welcome the spring. Buds are bursting and Mother Earth has donned her cloak of early spring flowers as she turns the land verdant and fertile once again.

This is usually a joyful, busy time, full of expectation. This year is a little different. It feels cathartic, rather than light and joyful, the way it usually does. And still, the garden is calling, eager to receive the seeds as soon as the soil has warmed up. This is also a time of spring cleaning, purification, painting and decorating. It is a time to get ready, so everything is set on GO! These are things one can still do, locked down or not, in anticipation of the coming spring. 

Physically, that means boosting your energy with the fresh vitamins and nutrients of the early spring herbs. And this is especially true this year. Boost your immune system and don’t give that virus half a chance!

Mentally, this is a time to be strong and focused. Check on everything that you have planned for and make sure that the pathway for your intentions is clear.  The crisis will pass eventually and there is a light on the other side. Good planning prepares the way to success.

Spiritually, the Spring Equinox augurs new beginnings. We can turn a page and make a new start. It is also a time to celebrate the eternal life-force and the powers of self-renewal.
