EnJOY the Spring Equinox!
Today’s Quote
“Visualize yourself standing before a gateway on a hilltop. Your entire life lies out behind you and below. Before you step through, pause and review the past: the learning and the joys, the victories and the sorrows- everything it took to bring you here. Observe it all, bless it all, and release it all. For in letting go of the past you reclaim your power. Step through the gateway now.”
– Rune 21: Thurisaz, from The Book of Runes by Ralph Blum
Welcome to the Spring Equinox
Hi There,
Well, we have another full house for the Spring Equinox Meditation Event tonight! It’s an invitation to “celebrate the change of seasons as Winter becomes Spring, allowing you to complete the old cycle, leaving behind the outmoded so you can step easily and gently into the new growth, opportunities, vision, warmth and longer days that comes with the Spring.”
As well as a deep, transformational and healing meditation the evening will start with a clearing process and new ways to plant the seeds to blossom in Spring and be harvested in Summer.
The Spring Equinox (Sept 18-23) is a time of balance – when day and night reach equal length before the days grow longer and the nights shorten.
Traditionally a time of great opportunity to notice where things are out of balance in your Life and clear and re-organise so you can step back into the Flow that Life is meant to be.
That makes it a great time to Goal Get starting with the next 3 months, or for the next quarter for you corporate types, or for the next term for the teachers, parents and kids amongst you.
Bottom line? It makes the Goal Getting process a a whole lot easier.
Many clients coming in for appointments are noticing their increased resistance to change- which makes life a whole lot tougher and more painful. The more the resistance the greater the pain. And there are massive changes going on as:
Relationships crumble, combust and reorganise,
As the desire to do fulfilling work becomes stronger and
The demand to BE their true selves becomes more important.
Many have experienced their deepest fears surfacing causing them to block progress to where they are meant to be in Life. Using wonderful Neuro-Training/ kinesiology techniques to identify and release the fears at the age they were created, thoughts become clearer and Solution Oriented.
Clients are describing a new lease on their vision and perception of life and a renewed energy for their projects.
Sometimes we forget what calm and clarity are until we remove the “tainted sunglasses” and can see life without the stress. Fears currently expressed are about:
Relationships,
The Future,
Money and fear of loss
Lack of Motivation and Energy for projects and ideas, “so how can I move forward Deb?”
and
Feeling not good enough.
Once you release the fears, limiting thoughts and emotions your path becomes clearer, energy and money begin to flow again and you become more committed to where you are going, clearer of other people’s agendas and if/when they breach your boundaries.
You are back in balance and back on track.
At this time of BIG Change and impatience to start the new it is important to support yourself with love and compassion. This gives you the energy, centre and clarity to do what you are here to do each day.
So, speak/ think kindly of yourself to yourself, give yourself a BIG self hug when you do something you are proud of and praise yourself. To live in a kind and compassionate world starts with yourself. Feed your heart and spirit.
Now, enjoy the Spring Equinox, take time to notice and Change Your Thoughts to NEW ways of thinking, smell the blossoms, enjoy the warmth, notice the new growth and Breathe….You are creating the beginning of Your brand NEW world!
15 minute Spring Equinox Exercise
1. Write a list of 9 worries/ negative thoughts on a loop in your head that are consuming your thoughts and energy at the moment. (5 minutes)
2. Rip Up the list
3. Headhold and Breathe. Hand across your forehead, the other across the back of your head. Belly breathe in for 4, hold for 2, out for 4, hold for 2. 9 reps.
4. Imagine the stress in your body as colours with a texture. Notice where it sits in your body, what colour it is and what it feels like, hard or soft, hot or cold, spikey or smooth etc. Then imagine you have a celestial dust buster that will vacuum this from your body until you are calm, centred, relaxed. Put the vacuum in a rocket and send it to the sun or into the stratosphere and see it explode, or imagine you are dissolving it completely with cleansing solution.
5. Now imagine a bubble around your body filled with irritation, impatience, frustration, discomfort and stress. Imagine it as muddy, sludgy, smoke-filled or slimy. Vacuum the discomfort and stress from inside the bubble until it is all clear and shiny. Send the vacuum to the sun or a volcano- make sure it is completely destroyed.
6. Now, take 5 minutes. Headhold and breathe. Imagine your life in 3 months – next quarter or next term- at the Summer Solstice 2015 ( December 18-22) traditionally the time to ‘Celebrate the rewards of the harvest’. How is your life different? What are you doing? Who are you with? How do you feel? Where do you feel that in your body? Place your hands there and breathe into that space. Imagine a colour and breathe that there too. (LLP grads can amp it up and do the Defuse/ Infuse process from Day 1)
7. Now write it all down in your journal. Long term attendees of Equinox and Solstice Special Events report major changes over the years from doing these exercises each quarter and keep them in a journal especially for these times of major change. They have found it has made the change and goal getting FLOW and easier.
8. You are on the home run now…last 5 minutes. Write a list of 3 things you need to do before September 23 (the last day of the equinox) to clear out winter, plan, strategise and plant the seeds (goals) you want to blossom in Spring and harvest the rewards in Summer.
9. Go do it!
Enjoy making the most of the Spring Equinox!
EnJOY the process and the benefits. And if you’d like some help with this, just ask me.
Be kind. And True to you,
Deb
