Awaken to the Brightness of the Day

Kabir

The first day of March marks where we move into rebirth, as a planet and as life, with the opening of Spring. Mid-March is the Vernal Eqinox for the northern hemisphere. The end of this month is Palm Sunday, then begins Passover, and soon thereafter, in April this year, comes Easter. All are heralds of rebirth, starting over, waking up.

So now is also a beautiful time for us to awaken from the depths of winter, the darkness and the cold, to a new “us.” See the colors of the morning and of the evening. Feel the change in temperature. Taste the “greenness” of growth. Breathe deeply and smell the freshness of each moment without holding onto it or anticipating it. Hear the birds and songs of Spring. Simply be present to enjoy it all.

As John-Rogers says in his book, The Tao of Spirit,

You don’t have to understand something
that is already within you;
you just have to awaken to your experience of it.
Then understanding appears.

The sleeper goes for abundance
by manifesting illusion out of greed and insecurity.
The one who is awakened
only has to take in the next breath.


So let go of winter. Let go of the past. Let go of the future. Only focus on what is now. Then you shall have its full beauty.

By using mindfulness practice and focusing on your senses right now, you objectively experience what is, without judgment. By releasing fear and the desire to “have,” we open ourselves to the availability of what is now.

When you accomplish this, the sensation is beautiful and vibrant. “Now” transcends the need for more because we experience it immediately.

Peace and joy blossom, just as flowers in Spring.

What’s more, as you stay “available” in the moment, synchronicity occurs. People, events, opportunities are recognized and enjoyed in that very moment.

Open yourself this Spring to the fullness of the moment. To learn more, you may find a path from mindfullness to mindfreeness and joy through a simple 10-week course. The details reside in the link above.
