Spring is the season of opening – allow yourself to unfold like the flowers around you.
Spring is the season of opening – allow yourself to unfold like the flowers around you.By now, the aliveness of springtime is bursting everywhere. I am astounded, every year, at the glory of the flowers opening around us. The colors, the fragrance, the bees buzzing, and the birdsong fill the air with that essential aliveness. Spring is about that aliveness in each of us.
Spring is very much about opening. The flowers open their buds, the chicks hatch out of their eggs… and we’re opening to new ideas, new energies, new adventures.
Our hearts can powerfully open at this time of year, bringing us deeper into connection with others, with ourselves, and with our sense of the Divine.
Our minds can open to imagination, to new ways of perceiving the world, and to new directions that life can take us.
What a great time to be encouraging our bodies to open – whether through yoga, a few laps in the swimming pool, a hike in the green hills, or a spontaneous dance in the living room! But only if we’re willing and aware of the potentials waiting inside to blossom, will we open.
What is waiting inside you to blossom? Is there a door that’s patiently beckoning you to open it and step inside (or outside)? Is there something you’ve always wanted to try that’s tapping you on the shoulder? Have you been resisting a new idea or way of doing something? How about simply opening to the unexpected? Let yourself be receptive to the positive energies of spring and what they might bring into your life, even if you haven’t a clue what that might be.
There’s a wonderful song that I’d like to quote, to keep in mind for the magic of this time: “I am opening up in sweet surrender to the luminous love-light of the One.” This is a beautiful affirmation to play with during spring.
Affirm your openness to the Divine, let go of your defenses & resistance, and know that the energy of Spirit leads you to something far better than you can imagine. Allow yourself to open like the brightly unfolding petals of a flower. May springtime bring inspiration, love, and light into your life in a wondrous way!
