Spring Equinox Cairn

Much of therapy is learning to love well. Suffering, pain, war, hunger, betrayal,
abuse of power, loss…all experiences that we will and are experiencing. Individual and collective. Let this spring equinox be an invitation to hold it all with compassion, care, fierce love, and life-force creativity. The sun and the return to more daylight mirror and invite a return to aliveness. Alive. Despite. Alive, and with. Alive, but. Alive, while others…
And this too: Alive. With. It. All.
We all need care, compassion, creativity, and fierce love in troves, tons, and trillions to navigate being a human these days. Without those qualities, we burn out---extinguished in body and dimmed in soul. Like many of our beloveds that journey with us in therapy, burned out because they have been masking, efforting, and surviving out of necessity for so long, and they are ready to finally live.
Without fierce love and care towards ourselves and one another, life is like getting the wind knocked out of you by too many hits, or one hit- exactly where it hurts. I am not immune to getting such “life force knockouts”. I’ve been in the ring too many times to count, and what I’ve come to fall back on? The absolutely solid ethos that, like the sun, I am a force of nature too.
Reflections for recovering the seed of your life force this spring:
🪞 What did the universe reveal to me about myself through the winter?
✨ What seeds want to be planted within me for the spring?
🌿 What nutrients, water, tending, or type of sunlight do these seeds within me need?
☀️ How does my slumbering life force want to be welcomed this spring?
🤲🏽 What gifts and offerings can I bring my life force as I co-create with it what I truly want?
🔥 What does my desire and wanting feel like in my body? Can I stay with it?
Your life force is worth it. My life force is worth it. Worth choosing the alive path, the leaning into vulnerability and authenticity path, the fierce love path. May you and yours lean into authenticity, the fire of the sun, and your deserving of care, fierce love, and creativity this spring.
