Spring Equinox is a powerful seasonal time that has been celebrated by ancient peoples throughout human history, and can be meaningful to us, here and now. This is a great time to pause and to celebrate the moment of this potent shift around this time.
Here are 12 Ways to Celebrate:
- Watch the Sunrise. Listen to the bird’s dawn chorus through an open window.
- Spring is associated with dawn and new beginnings: what is new for you right now? What would you like to see bloom in your life right now?
- Go outdoors for a walk – and like an egg hunt – look for signs of Spring, they are all around.
- Choose one plant, bush or tree to observe throughout this Spring to observe the wonders of its transformation.
- Walk barefoot for as long (as you can stand it) to tune into the rhythms of the Earth in Spring.
- Open a Window: listen to the sounds of Spring and breathe the air.
- Get out your windchimes and face towards each of the four directions to give thanks, and perhaps to ask for Spring direction.
- Build a nest! Indoors: perhaps in a bowl with yarns or a favorite scarf and fill it with stones, crystals and flowers and other outdoor findings. Outdoors: with what you find from nature’s bounty.
- Eat a special egg dish or bake bread with whole eggs in it as decoration.
- Create a Spring altar with things sacred to you this Spring. Light a candle.
- Organize your seeds for planting and imagine where you’ll plant a new tree, shrub or plant this Spring.
- Send gratitude and thanks to the rhythm of the upward inspiring energy of Spring in your life
