Emerging Through a Portal
Dear Ones,
We are officially entering the season of Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere, evidenced by the tulips and daffodils, red-bud and crab-apple tree blossoms, and the chirping of robins, blackbirds, and warblers. The trees are erupting with various hues of green! New life is coming forth.
We have been watching videos of Pat Noone's Faery Field in Ireland; we will be visiting during our Intuitive Ireland Journey next month. The birth of calves, lambs, and the like on this magical land of the faeries reminds us of the Earth’s abundance.
We all experience the birthing of something new each Spring! We feel it in our bones, new life erupting out of the dark, the incubation of winter, where we go inward to rest and restore ourselves for a new expansion. Yes, this time of hibernation comes to an end, and we emerge excited by the new growth both within and without!
In this photo, I am emerging through a portal (I spoke of this challenging climb of Huayna Picchu in an earlier blog) in the Earth, coming out of the dark into the light, a birth canal. It did feel like a new birth; I struggled to crawl through this dark passageway, feeling panicky by the dark constriction of this earth vessel, only to feel the joy as I struggled free to the other side and felt the sun on my face and the faces of those who welcomed me through this portal. What a celebration!
We each go through a passageway as we leave winter and enter the vernal Spring of a new year. This year, however, is even more poignant as we are moving through a Lunar/Solar Eclipse. We may feel the energy of this new birth even more intensely as an eclipse represents a time of deep introspection and transformation, an opportunity for more profound personal growth and expansion. When the moon entirely eclipses the sun in totality, we can release what no longer serves us and birth a higher vision of ourselves. We can lovingly and compassionately surrender and let go, understanding and forgiving ourselves for our imperfections as we grow into a higher consciousness of relationship with ourselves, our loved ones, and life!
What are you letting go of? What are you expanding into and giving birth to in your life? If you want to tune into this energy with more focus and intention, join us for an Eclipse workshop on Saturday, April 6th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Hope to see you all soon! Happy New Birthday!
Sending Love and Gratitude,
Carley and John
