Today’s balance of light and dark heralds the turning of the seasons. As this occurs in the Year of the Snake, we are encouraged to shed the outer skin of the winter and reveal the fresh skin that’s been growing underneath. The new version of ourselves will reflect all the efforts of the dark half of the year.
I find it helpful to love what we let go of, recognizing that it has served us for a time. Throwing off the shackles of fear, judgement or shame, we are free to experience safety. Proceeding gently, our new vulnerable skin will be enough protection to stay balanced and grounded in gratitude for all that has led us to this moment.
Can you love your history even as you shed what no longer serves? What protection does your new Spring self require? Ki to Happiness loves all that has helped me survive and protects the tender new growth so that it thrives.
