This month we celebrate Spring Equinox in lands north of the Equator.  Equinox means “equal nights”, and all over the world perfect balance exists as we experience 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of darkness.  For the soils of Mother Earth, as the amount of light increases, so begins the next cycle of rebirth.  As winter’s hibernation phase is coming to a close, life exposes itself, and with that there is a call for new growth.  How can we embody the energy of spring?   We can allow the gift of light to enter into our being to feed our bodies and nourish our souls.  We can plant seeds of conscious intent.  We can LIVE!

Our bodies are made of matter, light transforms matter, and matter is energy.  Our bodies are made of cells, and our cells have memory.  Each moment of our life, whether consciously remembered or not, is embedded within our cells.   All of our experiences and everything we witness has been downloaded into our bodies.  As we practice awareness, we begin to recognize that we believe what our cells carry and that these beliefs become our reality.  When we recognize that our cells are made of energy we can begin the process of shifting our beliefs.  As we shift our beliefs, we shift our perception and ultimately, our reality.

By consciously breathing in light we can transmute any hibernating energy, locked deep within our bodies, which is not based on self-love. How does this work?  When we witness our thoughts we see that our thoughts are based on beliefs. Is a particular belief true?  Perhaps it is, perhaps it is not.  Ultimately, our perception determines that.  How can we tell the difference?  Truth holds an energetic quality of tranquility in our bodies.  Something that is not true or something that goes against our divine nature holds the quality of disharmony and this makes us feel uncomfortable.  In using conscious breath to release beliefs that go against ourselves, we begin the process of transforming our cellular structure. When we release old energy from our cells, space is created and available to seed pure intent.

Our bodies are the soil of our being.  As we till our soil we bring air to those places that have been buried.  As we breathe in love our soil becomes love.  Our soil then becomes a pure place where heart-felt desires and dreams are planted, nourished and cultivated.  Moment by moment, we feed the garden of our being by breathing in light and fortify our bodies with love.

In this fertile soil, we recognize the illuminating quality of our individual journey, supported by our surroundings, which opens the gateway for heart’s intent and soul’s purpose to enter.  While we recognize our individual journey and shed light to what we wish to transform, we open the gateway for heart’s intent and soul’s purpose.  As we willingly embrace our process and open to the energies that feed and sustain us, we fully live.  It is true. We can support every aspect of our existence by simply bringing awareness to our breath, which is, of course, the gift of LIFE itself!

Here are a few suggestions to aid in this process:

Meditation: Holding the intent of pure transformative light, breathe into every cell of your body for the count of eight, hold your breath for a count of four, breathe out any sensation that feels heavy or stuck for the count of eight, then hold your breath again for a count of four.  Find a comfortable pace for your breathing and feel the rhythm of your being.
