Equinox Energy

I’ve noticed these last couple years that I feel a lot of chaotic energy leading up to Spring Equinox. It’s like a buzzing accompanied with an irritated, “What am I supposed to be doing?”

I remember last year, I kept feeling like something big was going to happen (little did I know the colossal nature of what it would be).

However, I’ve had the buzzing feeling years before. I think each year I’ve become more aware of this energy as opposed to a tunnel vision view that things were just crazy and collapsing. I wonder how many of you feel this too.

I have been reflecting a lot on this feeling, and I feel that a lot of this coincides with Spring being the Earth’s new year. It’s almost like these weeks are the final push of our yearly re-birthing. Winter usually coincides with periods of reflection as we turn towards ourselves and understand the year we’ve lived, and spring brings us a chance to start again equipped with these new lessons in our tool belt. So, perhaps, this great tension makes perfect sense, like these last weeks of winter beg us to release the old and not carry it into our new year. It feels almost...violent in a way, the intensity of the transition, as we push forward to plant new seeds and tend to healthy growth.

In these weeks, I feel spring cleaning is not just physical, but also, mental and emotional. What do we need cleared? What do we need to reflect on to bring forward and what do we allow ourselves to leave in the the past? What will bring us growth and what holds us back?

Asking these big questions have helped bring me to my center amongst the transitional winds blowing, and I hope they help you too.
