Magic Of Spring

Change is an inevitable and inescapable reality of being
of life, of nature.
Life we can say if you will, is a series of changes.
Life is change.

Change we can sometimes observe as a
cognitive experience.
We think through the changes in our lives.
Changes happens in the mental realm of your life.
Your mind has changed and your body is playing catch up.
Or your body has changed and your mind is playing catch up.

There is a disconnection, detachment, between body and mind.

We’re not so separate from nature you and I.
What can we learn from it on how to be in relation with life?
Nature in her infinite cosmic intelligence has created processes
that can serve as reference points for our relationship to transition.

Survival of winter is by any means necessary. What it takes to survive, happens in the cover of cold darkness
Spring is the Magician, all the elements at your disposal are brought into the light. The clarity of light and the energy of the Magician are asking of you what will you be leaving in the darkness of winter?
how will you use spring to embody the change, from cognitive to actualised?

The survival needs of winter look very different to what spring asks of us.

You have survived the winter and spring is asking what will you be planting?
Can you trust that the gentle breeze can clear what no longer serves you?
Can you let the sunlight illuminate the parts of you that have been in the cold dark shadows? 

Can you be encouraged by the new growth around you?
Can you recognise that you’re starting to blossom too?
Can you feel the hardness soften?
What rituals will you be creating?

Slowly surely may the days of your heart become longer, warmer, thawed.
