Spring is known for a time of fresh beginnings and renewal. It is chock full of slogans and catchphrases such as ‘spring cleaning’ and ‘out with the old in with the new’. Spring cleaning usually refers to people cleaning out their closet, sifting through all the paperwork that’s been piling for the last year, and adjusting to a new time change.
Spring also bring flowers into bloom, causing our allergies to run a mock! This time not only reminds us to take care of ourselves better physically (so we can survive our sinus headaches) but shows us that we can adapt to the changes in season. We are also met with flowers blooming all around us, showering us with the symbol of perseverance.
Just as the trees and flowers go through the seasons of change and require different ingredients to bloom, so can we persevere through different times in our life. And with the right ingredients (love, support, guidance, nurturing) we can also bloom into a beautiful flower or grow the many leaves in our branches. And while we may be busy cleaning out the closet, and dusting the cobwebs in the house, it's just as important to slow down and make time to nurture our spiritual and emotional side.
Join me this Spring in cleansing and rejuvenating our souls through therapy.
