Spring Equinox Ritual
Hello dear ones,
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, spring is in the air. With the March 20, 2025 Spring Equinox, the days are getting longer and the light is increasing. Equinox means balance (balance between day and night, light and darkness, matter and spirit..) After coming into balance, the tendency in the other direction begins. In the spring equinox, there is a transition from winter to spring, from darkness, from the womb, the seed to light, marking the beginning of the awakening of nature and of us. I would like to share with you a ritual that we can practice on the day of the equinox (day or night time of March 20th). The theme is rebirth, opening a new page and entering into it (or jumping into it like an easter bunny :), by letting go of all the vicious cycles that create obstacles and blockages and do not contribute to our holistic health and joyful ascension.
EQUINOX RITUAL
Requirements:
– A white candle and a yellow candle. Let the white candle represent our purification /cleansing and ascension, and the yellow the increasing physical and spiritual light.
– Paper and pen
We sit cross-legged. Our spine is straight and relaxed. We face Northwest if possible. We light the candles with intention.
We calm our breaths and write down on paper all the vicious cycle patterns that are preventing us from reaching our most ideal version, all the patterns from which we aim to be completely and fully free: all the emotional patterns, thought patterns and behaviors from which we want to liberated. We put all of them down. After the ritual, we can leave this paper in the sea, in flowing water or bury it in the ground.
Now, putting the pen and paper aside, we close our eyes, smile and slowly calm our breath. With each breath, our body relaxes more and more, giving itself more and more to the ground, to Mother Earth. We feel that Mother Earth loves and supports us unconditionally. As we continue to keep our spine erect, we gracefully drop all our weight to the ground. Now we imagine the most ideal version of ourselves and begin to enter into it. We can imagine a day in the life of this ideal version of ourselves. How did we wake up in the morning, how is our energy, how did we go about our day, what is the geography where we live, what kind of home, place is it, who are we with? What is our occupation, vocation or job? Do we travel and to where and for what? Are there any collaborative projects, with whom and what are they? Visualize them in full detail and feel them with your 5 senses. If it is a seaside geography, let the salt, smell and wind of the sea come to your face… The smell and green of the forest…
Now with each breath, we take in the frequencies of this ideal version of ourselves, and in each exhalation we let go of the frequencies, false belief patterns, vicious cycles that do not contribute to the realization of this version of ourselves, that create obstacles, burdens and blockages to this.
I breathe in “I am now my ideal version” I breathe out “I let go and ground of all the vicious cycles, all obstacles and blockages.”
We can stay in this state for as long as we wish and then end the ritual with thanking and gratitude.
We can write our experience on another piece of paper. We can do this ritual for 7 or 21 days and write down our experiences. We would be very happy if you share your experiences with us below in comments. May we be healed and enter our ideal versions immediately fully.
In this workshop, using healing sounds qiqong, to help transition into Autumn, we will work with the Fire element of Summer and the Earth element of Indian Summer, and their accompanying organs and emotions of the Heart & Small Intestine (Summer) and Stomach & Spleen (Indian Summer) which may need re-balancing in these times. We will follow this by a joyful practice of walking meditation which will help us re-connect to Earth, to ground. Walking meditation is a great technique to move from the mind to the body, from thoughts to presence, and to deal with difficult emotions.
