the world is a lot right now

An explosive season of more

The waxing moon is about creation and growth - it’s additive. This entire time of year is a shift to expansion. And, damn, there is a lot of stuff being added to the world these days. For many of us, there is no safe way to take it all in or take it all on. Many things suddenly matter, in a big way.

This full moon on March 13 brings the opportunity to review the past few weeks of accomplishments, occurrences and accumulations. We can celebrate what we’ve done, noticed what we’ve taken on, and begin to think about what we are ready to let go of.

• What is done?

  • What isn’t really ours to hang onto?

  • What isn’t in our best interest right now to focus on?

• And then, what is left?

  • What does deserve and require our attention now?

  • What will we put our energy into?

Spring Equinox

On March 20, we mark equal daylight and darkness before transitioning to spring in the northern hemisphere and fall in the southern - another pivot point to pause and acknowledge where we’ve been and where we are headed before we tip into the coming season.

What balance of yes/and, what/now what can you hold in this moment? How does that look when you think about global community? Local community? Family? Self?

Here in Canada, it’s about acknowledging and safeguarding our rights and freedoms, while recognizing that we have ongoing work to do (and in some cases, work to begin). We can keep our eyes and arms open and our elbows up. In our communities that might mean how we support our neighbours through conscious buying or through volunteering. Family and self could consider how our actions are shaped by our values, and affirming where we will put our time.

In this explosive season of more, we simply can’t engage in everything, but we can observe across the expanse of it all, and step into the growth of spring in the right ways for us.

Three Minute Meditations

After a few years (yes, years) of good intentions and planning, I have finally posted my first meditations on Insight Timer! Based on my mindful minideck, these brief guided moments offer a quick reset based on the exploration of simple yet key ideas like ground, step back, love, ask or redirect.

There will be more than 50 in total coming over the rest of the year to Insight Timer. I encourage everyone to try it out and get a taste of the wide range of teachers, sessions and courses available - for free.
