Spring is in the air – are you ready to bloom?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

There’s definitely a change in energy as of late. There’s an electricity in the air…or maybe it’s in the earth as things come alive with this energetic force.

Spring is coming! And the energy of the Equinox is pushing in.

The past few days I’ve been very aware of an energy moving in, almost as a preparation for the Equinox. And my sense is that the energy will shift somewhat recognizably on the Equinox, for those who are working with it.

So if you feel yourself doing deeper work as the Equinox draws near (Saturday March 20th 10:32am PST), you are not alone. In fact you are right on target! My sources say, keep up the good work and clear out those old ways of Being that no longer work with the new energy coming in.

And if you feel a shifting of energy where it feels a bit like the bottom has dropped out, just breathe and ground your energy. This is temporary as we let go of the old and make space for the new.

These shifts in energy are truly urging us along in our growth and expansion. Staying aware of your energy, so you can consciously work with it, is vital as we maneuver through the process of  letting go of what no longer works and allowing in what is new.

Things are re-arranging right now. And as we move into Spring here in the Northern hemisphere, our work is to look at where we too need to blossom and call in that energy to let go and expand!

If you are looking for some energetic assistance in supporting you through these on-going changes, I hope you will join me on the Expansion Tele-Calls I offer. You can also download the Jumpstart Guide to Creating a Daily Energy Practice for Self Healing, here on this site to your right!

If you’ve been feeling the energy shift, change and re-create you…I hope you will share your thoughts below. I’d love to hear from you!

The Expansive Nature of Play

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

I’ve been thinking a lot about play lately, and the relationship between play and our Spirits.

Sometimes, especially in hard times when things are challenging for us, play or playful thinking can get shoved into a small dark closet.

The tougher things get, the less fun and play we give ourselves for fear that we’ll be seen as frivolous.

And when we’re scared and worried, the furthest thing from our mind is to conjure up the will to feel playful. So we hunker down, furrow our brow and try—sometimes even struggle—to get things to work the way we think they should.

Yet, that’s the exact opposite of what needs to happen in order to creatively work our way out of something.

Play and playful thinking is expansive. And, expansion is what we need when we find ourselves with our backs to the wall, resistant or just plain old stuck in life.

We can think of play as a energetic idea…it then becomes a space within us to expand and fill with possibilities. This playful space is where we meet our creative selves. Perhaps I should say it this way:  it’s where we create as the Creators that we are!

To create, we need that energy of space and imagination to try things out, to gather the possibilities and even begin to assemble the energetic building blocks of our creations. It’s this space where we test out how things will look and feel. To get there, however, we have to interact with life from this perspective. By experiencing this creative expansiveness, we breathe life into our spirit.

Our spirit is a creative one. It needs inspiration to thrive.

So the next time that you feel that restriction in your belly or the worry that keeps you up at night, look to where you can bring back play into your life. Let it out of the closet with a big deep breath and a loud “Ahhh” on the exhale.

You may have to actively and consciously do this. But do it for your Spirit. Let it be part of your spiritual practice to feed this creative energy as you look for solutions to life’s challenges—especially when you feel the least playful.

In fact, give yourself permission right now to be playful, even silly sometimes. But find what feeds your spirit an be sure to do it when you need it the most.

Play. Think in playful ways. Begin to see the possibilities only your imagination and creative self can offer.

ps. If you need help unlocking that stressed-out you…try this. It’ll get the silly goin’ for sure!

Full Moon, Wolf Moon

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Tonight, January 29, 2010 is a full moon…a wolf moon according to the Native American tradition, because tonight’s moon will be closest to the Earth and will appear brighter and larger than other full moons.

The energy too will be powerful.

Look to what needs to be illuminated  in your life and draw on the gentle power of the moon to assist you in defining and clarifying what you are creating in your life.

We are at a ripe time, energetically, where what we choose to hold as our truth will become the foundation of our lives as we move forward.

Let go of of the old beliefs and ways of operating that no longer fully ring true for you and let tonight’s full moon energy propel you into what is next.

So look up, give a little howl and state with absolute trust and conviction what you want to be so in your life – as it is already here. Let tonight’s moon illuminate this in all its brilliance.
