Spring Rituals
/Hey Love,
This week marked the first official day of Spring for North America, ushered in by the vernal equinox and the sun heading back north across the equator. Spring energy is palpable, when everything starts blooming and life seems to majorly speed up, for better or worse!
Here are some fun ways to harness the blissful Spring energy, while increasing your mindfulness and connection to our beautiful planet.
Take a rainbow walk. This is a perfect way to enjoy the warmer weather, while moving your body and increasing attention to the present moment. During a walk around your neighborhood or local park, look around for all of the colors of the rainbow. You’ll find an incredible variety of photo-worthy hues in the blooms, leaves, sun, sky and more!
Infuse your water and food. Spring is all about transformation and growth and one of the best ways to embody this is with intention setting. Before each meal, take a moment to think about what would be nourishing for your mind, body, spirit. Perhaps it’s gratitude, healing or positivity. Now take that essence of that energy and imagine it being embedded into what you are about to consume.
Blend in with nature. My friend Melissa, an animal healer, says when we sit in nature for just 15 minutes, we start to become part of the background. When that happens, the animals relax and return to their natural behaviors, meaning you have a front row seat to your very own National Geographic documentary. Use this time to breathe, meditate or simply watch the spring energy flow around you.
Finding time each day to be present, to get back in your body, witnessing the gorgeous natural cycle of this world is one of the best things you can do for your mental and emotional health. So this Spring, I invite you to go a little slower and notice the positive ripple effects in your life.
As I shared briefly last week, my soul is blossoming in a major way this Spring through my new Energy Art creations. This offering is an invitation to know yourself deeper through multiple forms. You get a visual image of your energy expressed in a custom, hand-made painting, along with soulful recorded (or live!) guidance to support your current life experiences. The feedback for these sessions has been so incredible and I’m beyond excited to share this alchemy with you! Check out my website for some client samples, along with a few of the beautiful testimonials, plus booking information.
To our spring awakening,
Lauren
