The Good Light On: The Spring Equinox & Nowruz
I’m presently in Los Angeles and let me tell you, she’s a stunna for the spring equinox. 70’s and sunny, we’re headed to the Santa Monica Mountains for a sunset hike today. Wishing you an abundant season of opening to the light. XO. —Lyric
As we welcome the arrival of spring with the equinox, it's a perfect time to harness the energy of renewal and growth that permeates the air. The spring equinox marks a moment of balance, where day and night are equal, inviting us to find harmony within ourselves and with the world around us. Amidst the blooming flowers and lengthening days, let's take a moment to pause, reflect, and embrace the transformative power of this season.
Mindful Practice: Connecting with Nature
Find a Quiet Outdoor Space: Begin by finding a peaceful spot outdoors, whether it's in your backyard, a nearby park, or a quiet nature trail. Allow yourself to be fully present in the natural surroundings.
Ground Yourself: Take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Feel the support of the earth beneath you and visualize roots extending from your body, anchoring you to the ground.
Engage Your Senses: Take a mindful walk and engage your senses fully. Notice the colors of the flowers, the sounds of birds singing, the feel of the breeze on your skin, and the scents of fresh grass and blossoms.
Express Gratitude: As you immerse yourself in nature, take a moment to express gratitude for the abundance of life around you. Reflect on the beauty and wonder of the natural world and the gifts it offers us each day.
Set Intentions: As you bask in the energy of the equinox, set intentions for the season ahead. What do you wish to cultivate in your life? What areas of growth and renewal do you seek? Take a moment to visualize your intentions taking root and blossoming, like the flowers around you.
Closing Reflection: Before you leave your outdoor sanctuary, take a moment to reflect on your experience. Notice any shifts in your mood or perspective. Allow yourself to carry the sense of peace and renewal with you as you return to your daily life.
Embrace the Beauty of Renewal
As we celebrate the spring equinox, let's embrace the beauty of renewal and the promise of new beginnings. By connecting with nature mindfully, we can tap into the energy of the season and cultivate a sense of balance, harmony, and growth within ourselves.
How are you welcoming spring this year?
Have you ever celebrated Nowruz?
Embracing Cultural Traditions: Celebrating Nowruz
In addition to the spring equinox, the arrival of spring also marks the celebration of Nowruz, the Persian New Year. Nowruz, which translates to "New Day," is a time-honored tradition that has been observed for over 3,000 years, symbolizing rebirth, renewal, and the triumph of light over darkness.
Embracing Diversity, Unity, and Renewal
Nowruz serves as a beautiful reminder of the rich tapestry of cultures and traditions that make up our world. By honoring Nowruz alongside the spring equinox, we celebrate diversity, unity, and the universal themes of renewal and rebirth that connect us all. Whether you observe Nowruz or simply appreciate its significance, may this time of year be filled with joy, hope, and the promise of new beginnings for you and your loved ones.
To our most high timeline.
LOVE,
