Spiritual Findings

“Green is the color of…”

This is the time of year of renewal, rebirth and baby green leaves. Green is the color of growth, prosperity and life as the cycle between the sun and the earth is renewed through the blossoming of the plant world. We see rivers run freely and flowers explode with sweetness, and we experience the heady euphoria of new oxygen being pumped into our environments. This is a reminder of the flow of life from the pensive, gestating place of Winter into the place of new promise of Spring.

With newness, we may recall from whence we’ve come or the shadow trails of life. These are places and the memories of events so deep and tangible as to be nearly real again. In some cases, sensitive individuals can even see a replay of these moments in time. For most of us, the shadow trails are personal images caught and triggered by sensations, sight, touch, smell or taste. Whether it is a positive event or a negative experience, we may honor these moments as etchings on our soul that have given us profound “touch stone” points on our journey to greater consciousness. It is our job to transmute any fear or anger coming from something out of a past occurrence or encounter and allow this “picture” to be a marker and a teacher to bring into this renewal time, beginning now. Many lessons are learned through strong events if we look at them from many angles, especially spiritually. Imagine the higher self as witness and guide. Allow the positive events to be the seeds of today and any negative or hurtful ones to be allowed to compost into fertile ground for new growth.

Another insight for us now is the river of life. She is flowing as the devourer in many places as she moves large stones and trees from blocked passages. Her currents portend strong feminine energies able to change what one would have thought unmovable. She also brings great bodies of water to places long dry and needing cleansing. Offer blessings to the river in song and fruit and ceremony. Ask her for what you need, as her sweet spring waters carry all wishes along swiftly and eagerly. Note her green waters transitioning from still winter pools into eager places of movement.

Greet the faeries as they move up toward the sun and call the hidden flowers out from hiding. Remember those small creatures that can be seen if you just sit still and watch, as the sun grows in warmth and brightness. Happy Spring!
