Planting new Desires for Spring

Planting New Desires in Spring



Begin Anew with Spring
by Kim Gough

Well, Spring is finally here in the Northeast, the birds sing sweetly
outside my window, and the buds on the trees are growing. My native Blubell
flowers are peeking through the soil, little blue buds ready.

The ancient Chinese believed the plans for a new year should be made in the
spring with the rebirth of the Earth after a dark winter. Spring returns the
beloved sun to us, along with the promise of growth and beauty. You may have
made a New Year's resolution, but take the time to think about what you
really want for the next year. Plant your wishes and goals with the spring
as you would a tender annual flower. There will be days when the winds blow
or the cold comes and you have to cover and protect the growing plant. Its
growth may be slow at first, then once the warm sun stays fixed, it will be
blossoming from all the love and care it received, and bring you much joy.

Likewise, plant your seedling desires now, while the spring energies support
the growth of everything else on the planet. There will be days that you
will not notice much growth, but be patient and protect your newly planted
ideas and desires so they may bloom to fruition.

In order for any program to have its roots take hold this spring, you must
first fertilize your garden bed of intentions. Love is the noursihing factor
that will spark the growth of any new endeavor, whether it is of a material
need, or a personal goal.

If you are starting a new job, find ways to love the job, to love the
commute, to love your pay. Even of this job isn't the one you ultimately
want, learning to find love for it will bring the dream job closer, and you
will experience more syncronicities. If your goal is to lose weight, start
loving yourself and realizing how important you are to many before you
change your diet. You can watch what you eat and count calories all you
want, but weight loss will always be elusive until you make the resolution
to love yourself, be grateful for your personal beauty, and the health
already available to you.

Learning to love the self is an ongoing task, but it is an amazing journey.
Keeping a journal, talking to a counselor, and receiving various forms of
energy and bodywork will expedite the process.

Another element to establish the growth of a spring intention garden is
forgiveness. Forgiveness simply means releasing others from the anger and
resentment you feel towards them for an offense, and releasing demands for
retribution or punishment. This is one of the most difficul things in the
world to do, but one of the most liberating. While the actions of a
perpetrator may be considered unforgivable, this does not mean as an
individual we cannot forgive them. The personal growth you gain will jump
start all your seedling ideas and wishes. It is like adding enzymes and
worms to the soil to turn waste and decay into fertile substrate.

In forgiving someone, this does not mean you hold the stance of allowing
yourself to be abused or over sighted again. In some extreme cases, you may
have to avoid or call authorities on an individual. In most cases though,
this is someone that has not been so great to you due to their own
perception of reality, yet you must still share space with them regularly.
Once you do the work of forgiving, you should take the time to protect your
energy, surrounding yourself with the light of God, until you feel the
situation has effectively diffused. Archangel Michael offers light pillars
to those needing quick protection. All you have to do is ask, for any
reason, and it is there. Some can feel the white light energy come down
around them.

If you are still having trouble forgiving, remember The laws of Karma, or
cause and effects are always active within this dimension we inhabit, and
all debts are paid, you need do nothing to retaliate.

Think also of the flowers and the grass. Surely you can't walk across a lawn
or meadow without disturbing some being. Most of the flowers and little
creatures are quite forgiving to the feet that crush them. Its the ones like
poison ivy and stinging insects we remember, but so many others are beneath
your feet. They just pick themselves up the best they can, and keep growing
towards the sun. They may end up a little crooked, but they still can boast
a beautiful bloom or gossamer wings because they forgave and survived, not
allowing themselves to lay crushed and perish.

So tend your spring garden. Layer on plenty of love, gratitude, hope, and
faith, and be ready to reap the beautiful color and scent of success in any
venture.

OK, if some of my wording seemed to switch around, it is because my dear
guide Pfeirra was standing beside me. She is a beautiful Elemental princess
of sorts. Her entire being is shades of green, from her pale skin to her
long hair and luminous almond eyes. She holds a flower, and asks that
everyone examines the petals of the flowers to gain insight into all aspects
of Earthly creation.

May you reap a beautiful harvest from your spring plantings!

Peace of One
