Easter falls very closely to the vernal equinox where there are equal periods of light and dark. This is the same time of year where some of us choose to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I am not religious but as a spiritual being the energy of “renewa”l or “rising up” has been very present these last couple of weeks. Intuitively, I felt the need to purge or go through a spring cleaning process. My physical activity level has increased. I am allowing myself to take time to have a yoga practice, go for a run, and workout at the gym. It feels good to feel my blood pumping and sweat trickling. The boost of energy is an awesome reward.
Work doesn’t always have to feel like work. Find your pleasure.
My yard and home are benefitting from this too! I gave my home a thorough cleaning and spent a weekend tending my lawn and picking up debris from my damaged tree from the storm. This tidying up was occurring at the same time I was prepping for a colonoscopy…how ironic!? Physically I was clearing out as well. I could feel a sense of balance, groundedness even in my lightness as I began to spring forward. I have lofty goals and it has felt like such a burden. Now, I feel myself stronger and taking bigger strides.
Goals, dreams…Fuel the passion.
Things often seem like they haven’t changed in my day to day but when I look back 6 months or a year ago. I’m a little more kind to myself. Exactly one year ago, I was on a “dieta” to purify my body before I began my Ayahuasca ceremonies. I didn’t realize it at the time but there was so much resistance to the purging process that I believe Universe decided to give me a dose of food poisoning at the end of my trip! This year my purification process was a lot gentler thank goodness. Dare I say actually looking forward to it;)
I’m learning. I’m leaning in…Living my purpose.
I am in deep gratitude that I get to do this thing called life. Life is not a destination. Life happens when we keep putting one foot in front of the other. Keep the faith and rise again…over and over again.
I have never been fast but I am deep. These lessons show up when I need them and it’s when I don’t pay attention that I struggle. When I do finally become aware, then you better believe I do the things. I take my time and have frequent check-ins with myself.
I challenge you to notice what are your challenges? Where is the resistance? Are you willing to settle? Yes/No? What is your Why?
Are you living a life fully tapped in and turned on? If not, let’s talk. Let me be your guide. This is your time…to rise again.
Love, Teja
Easter 2023
