Sacred Seasons: Spring Renewal

Spring is a time for clearing out what no longer serves you while inviting what you want for yourself going forward. It’s a time of creation and preparation. Learn to connect with your natural rhythms, listen to your heart and be renewed by Spring’s vital energy.

Springtime energy is full of delight, rebirth, growth and emergence. It’s a time of bursting forth, cleansing, releasing the old, and inviting in the new. It’s also a time of creativity – when all the ideas and inspirations you incubated during the Winter are ready to emerge with greater clarity, purpose and meaning.

Spring is a very exciting time, full of presence and deep engagement. It’s easy to get caught up in too quick a pace. Take your time emerging from Winter’s stillness to wipe the sleep from your eyes, while slowly reengaging in creative action. This is a time for planting and preparing, but there’s no rush. Move at a steady pace, preparing the way for the manifestation of your desires later in the year.
