Spring is a time of renewal and rejuvenation for all of earth. Not only the trees, plants and nature, but us as well. We feel the miracle of spiritual transformation even if we do nothing, the simple fact that it is spring gives our souls nourishment and renews us. We can help the process along by taking some simple actions.
1) Begin our spiritual mindfulness practice again if we let it slide over the winter months. No guilt and no admonishing ourselves, just begin. A spiritual mindfulness practice can be different for each person. Find what works for you. You may wish to include journaling, meditation such as sitting in silence, or using a candle light to focus on, chanting a word, or perhaps you prefer guided meditations. If you are in an organized religion and have a prayer book you may wish to use that, or if not then do reading / studying of a book on spirituality (of whatever approach speaks to you!) or on mindfulness or meditation. Meditations in motion such as yoga or tai chi etc. is part of a spiritual mindfulness practice as well.
2) Increase the amount of whole healthy foods we eat, whether we are simply eating more fresh raw vegetables or using our juicers or making delicious nourishing recipes.
3) Nourish our spiritual goddess within by enjoying ourselves and having fun. Whatever you find feeds that energy within you, find something and do it. Going for a walk in nature and simply looking at the renewal around you, smelling the fresh air, dancing, writing, art, using aromatherapy, going for a spa session….anything that works for you. Take exquisite care of yourself and practice the act and art of self-love and self-care. It can be as simple as curling up with a good book and a cup of your favourite tea, or some flower petals and bath salts and a soak in the tub. The importance is in nourishing your spiritual goddess energy within, so that it grows stronger and you feel more YOU!
