Equinox Alignment For Personal Growth | 5 Ways To Maximise Our Own Focus On Growth During Spring.

We all want to move with the natural rhythm of nature in ways that support us to be an active part of growing through the great convergence of spring energy. Our own body will be guiding us in ways with minor adjustments, trying to turn us towards the spring light so that we might join the cascading dance of the equinox.

Here I share with you 5 simple yet powerful ways in which we can ground our focus for change during the season of great transformation in all living beings.

1. Make a promise to yourself that you will embrace new opportunities.

   Making a simple promise to ourselves during spring encourages us to hold a focus in our being that we want to grow. Much in the same way that all of biological life is activated in response to the great spring convergence, so are we. During springtime we also want to grow and create something new in our life and be in the best position for receiving abundance throughout the coming year. When we make a promise to ourselves to be open and to embrace new opportunities we are aligning with the energy of pollination and fertilisation and drawing these dynamic energies towards us. But we need to promise ourselves that when we notice opportunity in front of us, we will embrace it and not let it pass us by this time.

2. Have Courage, know your value and don't allow doubt to creep in.

   It takes a great deal of bravery to step forward into a new space initially alone. Every seed has to make the journey alone and travel through from the dark and hidden earth into the open spaces of light and be seen by others. A part of us may be hesitant to make this journey, moving from the known into the unknown. From the hidden into the seen. But this is the same journey that all life makes during spring. After making our promise to ourselves to embrace opportunity we need to remember that we have a great deal to offer of value and we need to embody inner strength as we push forward into the unknown.

   
   

3. Believe that what you are setting your sights on is waiting for you at the other side.

   We know what we need to bring into our life so that we can express ourselves more fully. We don't always know in what form it will take exactly, but believing in the energy of it, sensing the wholesomeness of what is to come will create the pathways we will take. This journey may not be straight forward, but we will carry our belief of what is meant for us in our life, every step of the way. An expression of ourselves that we want to become, who we want to be, what we want to do, embodying the qualities that we know are natural for us, all this and more is waiting. It is important for us to believe that we will transform into our most expressive, natural and vibrant selves and receive all that is meant for us in alignment with our own true nature.

   
   

4. Make a choice, of a determined course of action and drive it forward.

   Choice is a powerful action. Choosing is an autonomous act of self-determining motion. It is the boundary we set for ourself and for others not to cross. The choices we make represent our values, our attitudes and our integrity. What we choose sets a firmer tone in how we are moving in a direction, it has more animation, more power and stronger roots. Choose the direction, don't allow others to choose it for you. Gravity speaks to the roots of all plant life, even in the dark the seed knows which way to send their roots and which way to send their shoots. All we need to do is to turn inwards into our own sensing being for which direction to go and trust our own alignment with nature to drive us forward.

   
   

5. Soften. Being tough is essential at the time of pushing through but always remember to soften as you unfold into your new space.

   And finally, once we have pushed through into the light, and our roots are driving down deep into the cool earth we must take this next step of softening. Softening, after a hard journey to get somewhere is essential. Now we must unfold our more delicate nature. Allowing ourselves to decompress, breathe and be bathed in light. It is through the delicacy of keeping company to others now that will inform how well we grow and flourish through the seasons of spring and summer and eventually determine the abundance we will receive. Just as the flower welcomes the bee, we must now be gentle in our ways and communicate with our environment in the wider community. Keeping company with others and maintaining a flow of connection will keep us moving within the cascade of flourishing spring energy.

Even if, as we move towards the spring equinox, we are unsure of what we need for ourselves this coming yearly cycle, we can still work with these 5 simple energy alignments so that we are moving in a way that is open and receptive to whatever positive change comes our way.
