1 SEPTEMBER 2014 I can smell it in the air, spring. Inhale, drink in the promise, the hope of spring. There is more light, the sun is gaining power. You can stand in the rays now, and feel a penetrating warmth. Nature is bringing forth a new beginning. Birthing through the darkness, you can feel it starting to happen, under blankets of cold there is an energy, a life force starting to stir from its deep slumber of winter. The birds harken forth, they call out to all, Awaken! The time is upon us to prepare for a new beginning, our own fresh start. Lent is a season of preparation, a time when we are beginning to feel the stirrings of spring, a stirring within our hearts and souls for some deep cleaning. Winter is still strong enough to provide the comforting arms for this work. Nature’s distractions do not call too loudly to our hibernating souls quite yet. There is just enough light to give us the hope to motivate a little work both inside the soul and out. Spring cleaning, clearing the dust and Cobwebs from our Bodies, Minds, and Spirits, shaking off debris, both within us, and within our homes. Deep cleaning and clearing our environments is symbolic of deep spiritual work. Nature has provided the perfect setting for our work, keeping in tune with the seasons. Let us be strong and ready both inside and out. As snow begins to melt, let us melt the ice around our hearts and begin to wake up our Souls by shaking off the dust that has accumulated of Spring. Let’s take a look at some household chores and what they can symbolize within our hearts and Souls. SPRING-CLEAN ALL AND ANY TOXICITY Toxic relationships drain your energy, affect your mood and self esteem You don’t need to cut people out of your life, but do take an honest look at how you feel when you spend time with certain friends, co-workers or family members. Ask yourself if they are holding you back or supporting you in being truly happy and fulfilled. One of my favourite quotes is from Oprah “surround yourself with people that lift you higher” Spend less time with the “nay-sayers” and “energy vampires” and more time with people who make you feel inspired, who are positive and optimistic Seek out mentors or coaches who stretch themselves, as this will also stretch you to go after your dreams and you will feel happier and more fulfilled as a result. Above all else, keep in mind that this process isn’t meant to overwhelm you. It’s not about changing your life overnight, but rather creating the space, lightness and energy for great health, abundance and bliss to flow into your life. Wishing you a beautiful and vibrant spring.
