Cabin Fever… it is driving me insane. As I sit here in my office at work, writing this entry, I desire to be outside, running around, on this beautiful, warm day in
New England.
For those of us who have been living in New England, we have experienced one of the strangest winters that I can remember in my 31 years. Not too much snow, and tons of freezing cold. I don’t know about you, but for me… the freezing cold is not worth it, unless there is tons of snow to go along with it. It is for that reason alone I have chosen to stay in
New England. However, warmer climates are looking good right now if I cannot have my snow!!!
But I di-gress, the importance of this entry is to talk about the Spring Equinox this time around. And even though the Equinox has already passed us a few days ago… it is not to late to take advantage of the moving energies at this time. What does all this mean? What can you do to step into the fresh air feeling that comes with Spring? One of the first things I do on a beautiful and warm spring day is open all the windows to my apartment and let the fresh air come in and liven the energy in my place. Do the same to your soul. Open all the doors and windows to your soul and let the freshness clear away the cob webs that have developed this summer. Let the fresh air fill your soul on all levels, “freshening up” all the energy around you. This is as easy as taking a moment in the sun, close your eyes, spread your arms wide, and breathe deep. As you do this, imagine the wind whipping around you and taking away all the gunk from your auric body.
This will help you to start off with a new fresh feeling all around. Like the stale energy in our house our bodies can also become stale with energy if you do not move. As an energy worker, I sometimes call a friend I feel may be in need of healing and offer to do a session on them… Only because sometimes I have not moved energy in so long, my chakra’s and other energy centers begin to feel clogged. So volunteering to help someone, also helps me to exercise this movement. The same goes for all of you. People begin to get more active this time if year… not only because it is warm and we want to be outside, but also because your body, life vehicle, needs to reconnect with nature to refuel, recharge and help to get the spring back into your step.
Other things we begin to do is, clean the house. As a physical exercise, we pull out all stops. “Spring Cleaning” is a BIG deal. Move the furniture, rearrange things, take down all the drapes and wash them… when places get locked up for months at a time, a lot of dust can collect and it is time to get rid of it all. My grandmother would even change the colors in the house to more light and vibrant colors, as opposed to the darker variations that she would use in the fall and winter. Likewise, I invite you again to “Spring Clean” the soul. Take some time to meditate over the year so far. You may have had some dreams and visions of things you would like to see happen this year. Take some time to assess your place so far. How close are you to making these things happen? How many have you not even started yet? And maybe, for the super go getters, you have some goals to cross off your list. This is a good time to organize, rearrange and get rid of the goals and visions that you are working on. Clean them up and reevaluate where your energy now needs to go…
The moment to 2007 is only going upward. Time now will never get slower again, we are only going to be moving faster. Be willing to let go of dreams that are just not feasible yet, and work towards the one that are. Doors will open to other dreams when it is their time. So no dreams ever go unforgotten by spirit. Your time now if valuable, and even more so… take time out these next few months for friends and family. And like this is not getting repetitive enough… take care of you. A client once asked me the other day, “Why are “they”(spirit) always asking me to take care of myself. I hear this in every reading or healing session I go to… when am I even going to have taken enough care of myself”
The answer: “Never, you can never take to much care of yourself, and you will always be hearing spirit to keep telling you to do more.” Maybe if we all took this time out for ourselves… we would be in a much better space overall.
And as always, I ask that you take a moment today to think about the earth, Gaia. Take a moment in everyday to do something wonderful for her. Even if that means you stop to selflessly pick up a piece of trash on your way into work. Or your surround her with healing light in prayer. There is no one on this earth who needs healing more than she does. For centuries, we have dug into her, tapped her veins for blood to keep us warm, torn her children from the earth to make paper and products for our survival… the least we can do is send her some love. Enjoy your Spring Cleaning Rainbow Blessings
