The Spring Equinox Is Here

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

This Friday, March 20, 2009 is the Spring (Vernal) Equinox. Officially it’s at 4:44am PST (11:44UT). Living on the West Coast I’m probably not going to get up and celebrate the exact moment of the Equinox, but I will mark the day; as it is a significant day in my book!

There are four Nature holidays (Spring and Fall Equinox and Winter and Summer Solstice) which have clear energetic distinctions to them and are linked to processes in Nature that are important to acknowledge. The Spring Equinox is a very powerful time for creation. This year in particular, with all the change and growth that we and this planet are going through, it feels especially potent.

Staying in Present Time for Healing

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Over the past few weeks I’ve found myself scurrying into past memories and sensations to try to heal old patterns and places within, all in the hope of uncovering the core or root of an energy I am aware of now. I’ve not had much luck with this technique! What I hear over and over in my head is that, to heal, we must be in the present moment-looking forward.

The p.s. on that inner guidance is, that trying to get back to a place where we think this old energy or old wound may live, doesn’t work. It’s impossible for us to get back to something that is no longer there. We may think that this pain or discomfort is old; and that to heal, we must re-connect with it to understand it. But the energy isn’t old. The pain we feel is our holding onto something in present time that no longer serves us. What we can do is stay present and allow the healing energy in, as we make new choices with each step toward our future.
