Yesterday morning, I was greeted by a robin hopping down the sidewalk toward me. What a wonderful omen on the first day of spring! As spirit animals, robins are seen as symbols of change, growth, release and new beginnings. This symbolism certainly applies to the deep personal work I am doing right now.
In addition to being the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere, Friday also brought us a new moon and a solar eclipse. The moon is also seen as a time of new beginnings and rebirth. While they’ve brought great amounts of fear in centuries past, eclipses are now generally seen as signs of change, be it positive or negative. All three of these celestial events (the new moon, the solar eclipse, and spring equinox) definitely have created an increase in spiritual energy over the past few days. I know of many women who had a difficulty sleeping because of all that energy!
In my own life, the equinoxes and solstices are almost always powerful days of change and growth for me. I can pretty consistently expect something major to happen for me on or around those days. This spring was no different. I’ve spent the past month working on the deep and dastardly spiritual root of the suffering I’ve encountered in this life. Yesterday, that root began releasing, bringing a great deal of relief to the physical pain I endure. I expect that I have another month’s worth of work on this issue before I am able to clear it completely, though I’m optimistically hoping it will be less time than that.
As a result, I’m going to be taking a bit of a sabbatical through the end of April, though if I am able, I will start working with clients sooner. For now, all of this change, rebirth, and healing in my own life is taking the entirety of my metaphysical energy. I know that this process, while very difficult on me physically, will only make me a better practitioner and person in the long run. Blog posts in the next month will continue to be sporadic, but I will be posting as I can because the blogging I do on this site is part of my healing journey while simultaneously benefitting others.
Happy Spring!
