- Excitement – building: I think that we first should allow the new energies that are building to be observed in our lives: whether we feel new growth, seeds germinating, or somehow feel connected with the Sun and Equinox or, in the case of Astrologers, with Aries. The sun, regardless of where you are, comes into more of a balance of light and darkness. The month before, during and after Equinox, is when we either add more or less sun than any other time of the year. In Spring we receive more sunlight and during the Fall less sunlight here in the Northern hemisphere. This feels the most expansive! We just need to be aware of how these energies support New Beginnings. Support – and that includes the reinforcing the seeds of newness within us. So let’s build on the excitement that seems to come with these energies and let these energies unfold. Let’s remember what our bodies crave as we are never to remain stagnant but to always Grow – just like the Earth as she awakens to Spring. So let’s play with the excitement within and allow it to fuel a way to manifest our dreams.
- Getting clear about what we want. This is always the most important step. It is crucial when we get clear about what we want that it is from a place of expansion, growth and love, because unfortunately we usually make change from a place of fear. Fear is natural because we desire change when we feel we have no control over our lives. When we feel lack, for example, we believe that money will change our lives. This is Fear triggering us to change, to believe that money is what we want and will create the change we desire. This is so far from the truth. Fear can never create the change we desire because we end up focusing on the problem. Money will never make the change we want. They say money is a reflection of our connection to Love and Abundance. If we have money problems then we have fears within us relating to our expression of Love and Abundance. Therefore it is best if we focus on the feelings that the energy of Money brings. What will the energy of Money create within us? Is it a sense of Freedom, Peace, or Expansion? Let’s choose the feeling of what we desire instead of choosing the feeling of the actual problem we are wanting to alleviate – because the Universe will align with our Hearts and produce far more than could ever be imagined if we stop trying to control it! Let Go!
- Create a new story. Let’s face it we have this ‘story’ that is created from our perceptions of our experiences to date. It is a story usually full of fears and the story therefore recreates our triggers which actually assist us to Grow Up. So, instead of reliving the same story over and over again, let’s begin anew. This past month I observed my reading habits. I love reading! What I observed while reading two series of books was that one was full of adversaries. There was a heroine and throughout the series, other than the heroine, I had no idea who I could trust. There was no real character development because there was so much betrayal and darkness. I only started to read the series because it was suggestive that it was similar to an author I love. Unfortunately it was not the case and I continued to read hoping to reconcile the differences and search for some redeeming qualities – redeeming qualities that never came to light. Then I read a book series that was full of Love and wonderful characters that I could really relate to and also to aspire to be like them. Which do you think I enjoyed the most? Sure my personal past has many examples of betrayal and part of my old story became triggered in my reading but it also made me anxious and pained because I really want to have a story that is full of Love and Nurturing Support. I want my story to be a series of Love, not fear. So let’s create that!
- Heart Alignment. I believe the last aspect of building newness in our lives is to align our Hearts towards the energies of what we want to create. The problem is our head/ego with its critical banter is what we hear the most. Our heart is the gentle guidance that is full of Love, Compassion and Joy. It guides us to be gentle to ourselves and to BE present. When we listen to it instead of our head – it won’t give us things to Do and we don’t get instructions about what we have to change or fix – it will instead, this gentle guiding heart, nurture us and inspire us to BE happy and loving. Let’s listen to our Hearts encouraging us to BE all we can BE.
