Friend, Are you and your business still feeling like Winter? Experiencing a deep desire to rest and be still? Feeling buried and barely ready to plan and move forward? I so feel you on this. Know that this is OK, and you may be aligned with the seasonal transition.
This was both an observation and questions asked during a recent call with a VIP client. This was also a key practice during our Spring Equinox virtual retreat. We shared about transitions and how we need to allow them to be a space of their own. Time to move from one season to the other. Moving slowly and honoring the space between. Once shared, all who heard this let go of the struggle and felt more at peace with where they are now. I thought you too may enjoy this share.
Allow the transitions to be a space of their own - not a doorway, but a place to be while you move from one season to the other.
Winter is the season of the element of water, rest and renewal. Time for mother earth to sleep and allow herself to be buried under the snow. If you are feeling the need to slow down and allow things to happen versus pushing them along, you and your business may still be enjoying the energy of Winter. A time of YIN energy - going with the flow and allowing time to be deep inside, nurturing our inner wisdom.
Breathe. Be OK with this. No need to rush into Spring - season of the new yang, doing. Ease into it, like Winter into Spring - allow the ground to thaw before preparing it for new seeds and new beginnings. Like mother nature, move at your own pace (heck, here in NYC, she delivered a blizzard immediately following Spring Equinox)
Our seasonal virtual retreats are my way of helping us to be with this natural flow of life, business and the seasons - whether they be spiritual or metaphorical practice. Sharing them with you is both my mission and my gift-received. To honor this sharing, I offer an excerpt from the Spring Equinox retreat. A 10-minute guided meditation to walk you from Winter into Spring - honoring rest before doing. |
