The brightness of Spring. The reawakening of life. The Spring Equinox is a time of new beginnings, the renewing of hope for the future and the vibrancy of our present. Spring is a time for planting seeds of intention. Fresh, clean energy within and all around us invites the clarity for our soul’s desires to surface with new and wholesome perspectives.
The Power of Intentional Gardens
An intentional garden is, at minimum, equal to our physical planting of flowers, herbs, fruits and vegetables. An intentional garden is a sacred mapping of your dreams and desires that becomes magnetized by your loving focus and consistent visualization.
Where your attention goes, your energy goes. This is how a modern alchemist turns their dreams into reality.
A Simple Equinox Ritual
This ritual is a simple and accessible way to harness the potent energies of celestial and planetary alignment. You will need:
- A piece of blank white or pink paper
- A pen
- Your clear intention for what you want to seed, nourish and grow
- Optional: A white candle, an essential oil synergy, a crystal of your choosing
Ritual Steps
- Light your candle and breathe in your chosen essential oil aroma, inviting the energy of Spring into your being.
- Draw your intentional garden on your paper. Sketch simple circles or flowers — each one representing a dream, desire, or soul calling you wish to grow.
- Write your intention inside each circle. Be specific. Be bold. Name what your soul truly desires.
- Breathe life into it — exhale three times onto the paper, infusing it with your life force energy.
- Place your crystal on the paper (if using) and leave it in a sacred spot until the Summer Solstice.
