Spring is a season that unleashes an especially bright creative process of spiritual enchantment and abundance in the natural world. It is a season that brings forth and gives birth to the magical influences of creativity, recreation and rejuvenation!
As human participants in this creative process, our spirits are drawn and lured into dance with Mother Nature. Nudged by her abundant energy, we are beckoned to cleanse, clear and make room for new harmonies inside of ourselves and our environments.
Also known in the ancient traditions of divination as the Empress, Mother Nature symbolically represents the processes of birth, rebirth, abundance, deep creativity, healing and unconditional love. During spring, when she arrives in full force, she asks us as her children, “What will you do with the energy that I bring?” She says, “I am giving my love to you. Now, show me what you will do with it.”
Earlier in the week, The Edge provided a space and forum for its partners to discuss ways to tap into the power of the Empress, specifically with regard to how we, as partners, could build up and nurture each other. As a partner of The Edge, I had the awesome experience of attending this forum, where new knowledge was created around how to align altruism and lightwork with personal and business practicality.
During the forum, partners were able to ask each other questions and brainstorm in a way that allowed intellects and spirits to connect to create new knowledge.
Creativity is the essence of the Empress and spring is her divine timing!
Pulling upwards, the forces of the Empress compel humans to acknowledge the abundant nature and beauty-filled intentions of her energy to inspire and implant within us her rich seeds, so that we can nurture and groom them until it’s time for harvest.
So, as one who is devout to the namesake and its creative process, I beg the question: This spring, what will you do with the loving energy of the Empress that surrounds you, lives in you, and invites you to dance? Will you harness her energy to create, recreate, build and rebuild yourself and your inner sanctuary? Or, will you become a wallflower? Remember: Life is a platform where choice has voice! What we choose always speaks in one form or another!
The following are tips to rejuvenate the spirit and connect to the essence of the Empress:
- Make a commitment to paying down debt, and make sure you’ve read and responded to all of your mail, including email.
