Happy Spring Equinox!

Dear awakening heart,

 

Happy first day of spring! Today, on the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, we can really feel into the energies of renewal and revitalization. The waters are flowing, the birds are singing, there is so much hope. I am so excited to start a new year with some brave Intuitive Guide Program students today as well!

 

We have just made it few a very intense few months. Last Friday, with a full moon, lunar eclipse and Mercury moving into retrograde, the energies shifted in a good way. Things lightened up a bit.

 

Often with Mercury retrograde, we worry about all the mishaps – mechanical/technical problems, miscommunications, etc. – that can happen. I always take extra care when communicating with people to be sure they understand my intent during this time. And yet, Mercury retrograde can also be a good thing. As in “retro” (going back), this can be a time for inner reflection and a shifting of intensity into lightness, as we are experiencing now.

 

We have an opportunity on this day to go inward to find some equanimity and peace, as we allow what is being birthed within us to come forth, just like the buds that are bursting forth from the soil and on the trees.

 

While we may not see the blossoms yet, we know that there is so much beauty and color coming in the flowers, and so much other latent new life in the form of green shoots stirring beneath the soil.

 

Some intuitive guidance I have picked up on this week through the heart of the Ascended Master Jesus:

 

While there is still a storm around us, we can choose if we want to stay in the storm or get out of the storm. There are lot of external energies trying to pull us into the storm, and yet we have the ability to create our own reality instead of getting sucked in. Being in nature, finding gratitude for simple things, living the life we want to live.

 

May it be so!

 

So today on a day of equal night and equal day, we can bring some balance into our own lives with the energies helping us do so.

 

Mother Earth, the Divine feminine goddess energy, is activating as the snow melts, the water flows and the vegetation returns. She will help us. The Earth is awakening much as humans are awakening.

 

There is so much light we are being flooded with, and as you know this means that the shadows within us get even more illuminated. You may be walking deep through the sludge of Ego so your light can more fully shine. This is the same process of the Ascended Masters when they walked this Earth.

 

We have chosen to work on many soul lessons in these times… to move into self-mastery.

 

(By the way, a wonderful way to move into mastery is to learn to how to access the Divine guidance all around you in a sacred space that really invites these energies in. The Inviting in Divine Love: A Spring Retreat on the Maine Coast is coming up soon in early May. I hope you’ll join us!)

 

With the full moon a few days ago and then the Spring Equinox today, the energies are conducive to inner reflection, healing and then forward movement.

 

You may want to reflect in your own life on:

 

What is awakening within you?

 

What is asking to be reborn?

 

Take some time to sit with these questions. My kids and I like to collect nature objects and make a mandala as a way to honor and respect the natural world. You may want to do the same.

 

This is a Spring Equinox Meditation

I guided in a video recording from a previous live event.

 

In the meantime, keep quieting the mind when you can. There is so much happening beneath the surface for us. Lots of layers are being uncovered in our healing (often in breaking patterns in relationships with other people).

 

We have the tools to do it – we are stronger than we think!

 

Wishing you new life, balance and hope,

 

Rachel
