Step four – honour the season

Try this

Deepen your sacred connection to spring by creating an altar in your home, to honour this joyous season.

This sacred space can be anything from a small room or space within your living room to a tiny corner, dining table or bookshelf. The size of the space isn’t nearly as important as what you fill it with. This is all about your connection to the season, so think of things that represent the fullness of spring to you and make it personal. Some suggestions include spring blooms like tulips or crocuses, a bowl of fruit, seeds, pulses, and herb bundles, and also candles in spring shades like pink, purple, green, yellow and white. You might also want to include crystals and oils like lavender, geranium, and lemon balm.

Think too about pictures that capture the spirit of spring, and if you feel inspired, have a go at drawing something yourself, or writing a poem that sums up the season.

Once you have decorated your altar, make a point of spending time in this space every day, whether that’s to calm your mind with a simple breathing exercise, to write in a journal, or even daydream. Your altar will help you harness the powerful energy of the season, so make it your ‘go to’ place to relax and recharge.

What do you most want to grow this year? For example, you might want your finances to grow, or perhaps you’d like more personal growth creatively?

Write on a piece of paper ‘I channel the sacred power of spring, to help me grow in all areas of my life,’ and leave this note on your altar to absorb the empowering energy that you have generated.
