Blooming Where You're Planted: A Seasonal Guide to Spring

Journey To The Soul

The world around us is awakening, and with it comes an invitation to align our lives with spring's natural rhythm of renewal. After winter's necessary hibernation, we're now entering a season brimming with fresh energy and possibilities. Unlike the somewhat forced productivity push of January, spring offers a more organic time to set intentions and embark on new beginnings.
This episode explores the rich cultural traditions celebrating the spring equinox around the world. From the ancient Pagan goddess Ostara, honored with communal feasts and bonfires to commemorate increasing light and fertility, to Japan's national holiday Shunbun no Hi that kicks off the magical but fleeting cherry blossom season. These celebrations remind us that humans have always marked this seasonal transition as significant—a time when the natural world shifts from dormancy to vibrant growth.
When we recognize ourselves as cyclical beings, constantly changing like the seasons, we can work with nature's energy rather than against it. Winter's quiet introspection prepares us for spring's surge of creativity and inspiration. Discover practical ways to honor this seasonal transition: taking nature walks, bringing flowers indoors, creating a spring altar, eating seasonal foods, setting fresh intentions, or planting seeds both literally and metaphorically. By tuning into spring's natural rhythms, we reconnect with the world around us and tap into our own innate capacity for renewal and growth. What seeds will you plant this season?
