Spring Equinox - Welcome!

I feel like I have just clambered out of a very dark, damp cave after months of a heavy, long winter. I don't know why this winter has felt particularly hard. But today, I'm relieved that the Spring Equinox is finally upon us.The light is equal to the darkness - hallelujah!

One thing that I've learned from this past winter is I need more time to rest, to recuperate. That could possibly be why I feel like a grumpy old bear climbing out of that cave. I didn't use winter in the way that nature intends us to - hibernation, rest, recovery, dreaming and planning. Did you? When you look back on your winter, is there anything you would change about how you approached it? How you lived it?

Maybe today, on this beautiful Spring Equinox we could take just a moment to pinky promise to ourselves that we will take some time next winter to slow down as mother nature so desperately wants us to. She hands us all the tools to do so, dimming the light, dialling down the energy, sending us Jack Frost but we have become too good at ignoring her.

Apologies mother nature. I vow to listen more closely to your cues and your care from now on. So next winter, for me, it will be about making more time for yoga, more time for rest and recovery. So hopefully next year, I will come bounding, refreshed, renewed out of that warm, snuggly cave ready to embrace the new season ahead.

I'd love to hear what you would like to welcome into your winter this year. So please feel free to leave a comment below.

Namaste, Laura x
