Spring represents birth, renewal, and rebirth. Spring is our life’s beginning or introduction to life. Within our life cycle, Spring is associated with our first quadrant of development from birth through our 20’s.
Our teens and 20’s is our time of self-discovery. It is the vibrant, raw energy of an uncut diamond or impulsive expression of a wire of electricity that has been cut and is flailing in the air. In our teens and 20’s, we have an open sense of willingness to explore, an immature sense of boundaries and a raw sense of intuition. We often fly with abandon, run without care and do it now, pay for it later.
With the new promise of Spring, the reset button has been pushed and we are now given another chance to change what we did not like last year. As the moon resets its cycle every 28-29 days, the new moon represents the beginning of the swing of the pendulum of time. Like any other cycle, it allows another opportunity for growth. Spring’s willingness and raw emotions not only mirror the early years of our lives when we notice everything but expresses our need to burst forth and explore everything - without care, reason, or awareness. This reflects the intuitive thought of ‘doing’ and not thinking too much about it. Although raw and unrefined, it is the action of ‘doing’, which represents Spring. When conscious mind, meets conscious thought, we are living in the moment, or in the NOW. This awareness encourages our act of accomplishment and drive. It stimulates our impulsive need to move fast and move forward.
Consciousness and Awareness
Limited views and opinions are stifling. They detach us from reality, decrease our awareness and shut down our mind. We all have a limited view of some areas in our lives. Gaining a broader perspective is self-awareness. Being able to open up your mind and allow for the free flow of thoughts and ideas can be liberating. Spring can give us this feeling and opportunity to do so.
Welcoming a new opinion or way of doing something can bring new meaning to your life. If you release these closing thoughts and make room for a different opinion, you may be surprised at the outcome.
Striving to meet difficult goals has pushed us to stretch the horizons of what we think is possible. We share the ways in which obstacles and challenges have made us stronger and given us the confidence to continue setting goals and dreams in our adventures, our business, and in our day to day lives.
This is conscious living. To start living in consciousness, we must start to experience the fourfold principle of intuition, feeling, sensation and thought.
“The routine without meaning is the empty life”
~ Edward J. Lavin
How meaningless is life without goals? Become conscious of your goals. Get in touch with the life of your desire. You are the one who can make this happen. Just you. Become aware of how you can make this happen.
Change your perspective. Change the way you look at something. Give it a fresh, new outlook. If you feel oppressed or beaten, held back or disorganized, rise up! Look past the blocks you feel are in front of you. My mentor, Zachary Selig always use to say, “it’s time to flip the switch”.
