Spring equinox

Here in the Southern Hemisphere we have just celebrated the Spring Equinox. This is a time of rebirth, growth and fertility. A time when the shortest days and longest nights are over and the warmth and light of the new season begins. A time for early sunrises and late sunsets, it is a time for celebration, for new beginnings and a time for transitioning from the past into the future. Here a few ways that you can welcome the energy of the Spring Equinox into your life and home.

• Plant a garden, fill it with vegetables and flowers.
• Prepare a feast and have a gathering of family and friends, young and old.
• Fill your home with fresh flowers, and lush plants.
• Have or attend a bonfire (where possible).
• Begin a new course of study or create art, poetry or song.
• Spring clean your house and your body.
• Take up a new exercise routine.
• Drink teas with Burdock, Kawakawa or Dandelion in them for a blood cleanser.
• Wake up at dawn every day for a week and welcome in the new season.
• Make a list of what you want to let go of, and what you want to welcome in.
• Listen to the Beatles song “Here Comes the Sun” each day for a week.
• DANCE xx
