Today is Imbolc or Brigid's day, a wonderful celebration of the earths awakening. Yes winter still has a hold on us, but only slightly. Already we can see the buds forming on the trees, bulbs pushing their way, up through the soil. The Earth in all her glory, is awakening from its winter Slumber and there is a wonderful sense of new and exciting energy.
The time for change, is upon us.
Now is the time of new beginnings, of new life. I wanted to mark this occasion, because this year I really feel myself opening up more, I am unfurling.
Ever since I began doing Biodanza, I have felt myself opening up more to the world and to the wonderful energy that surrounds us all. This energy that is as old as time and always available for us to tap into.
Unfurling like a fern.
I am a big lover of the natural world and when I decided to get another tattoo. I choose to get one of a fern leaf, of one that is unfurling.
The fern, is one of the oldest plants in the world, so to me it represents reconnecting with the old, reconnecting with the beautiful vibrational energy that is always around us. Energy that I have been tapping into weekly as I attend Biodanza.
And with these experiences, I have felt myself unfurling, just like the fiddlehead, which you can see at the top of my tattoo. The leaves along the leaf are also unfurling, opening itself up to receive.
I was really lucky to be able to get this done by a friend of mine, today on Imbolc. During the winter months, I instinctively, found myself travelling within. Withdrawing from activities that called on me to be more social. So that I could rest and dream.
And now, now as the beginnings of Spring are in the air, I can feel the stirrings of life within me and it is so potent . I have really enjoyed exploring the many ways of tapping into it, tapping into my true potential, so that I can move forward and co create a new world.
To co create with those who wish to break free of the constraints of the old world, constraints that were based on the dominance and manipulation of all living beings. Now is the time to connect with our inner fire, to take our power back. To embrace these New Beginnings.
As we move into this more active phase of the earth's cycle, we are being called to reconnect with our inner knowing, to reconnect with this ancient wisdom that lies within us all. The ancient wisdom of nature, of the Fern.
Happy Imbolc Everyone
