Springtime Renewal

April’s topic is ‘Springtime Renewal’. Spring is marked by the budding of seeds, the renewal of life, and the manifestation of creation. Seeds can consist of new ideas, projects, and passions. Some of us have planted so many seeds, yet we have not tended to them - leaving us feeling scattered. Some of us have been so focused on doing the same routine that we have not taken a moment to ask ourselves what seeds we may want to plant.

During the month of April, we will investigate the aspects of ourselves that desire renewal, creation, and nourishment.

What seeds have you planted that require you to stand at their side and nourish them? If you have not planted many seeds, what is desiring to grow in your garden of life this spring?

Increasing Our Awareness

March’s topic is Increasing our Awareness. As we expand our awareness of ourselves, our relationships and our environment, we become more in tune with the essence that makes us who we are and what we desire.

What is the magnificence inside of you desiring to emerge this month?

Self-Love

February’s topic is Self-Love. This is the principle of of loving ourselves unconditionally. How do you experience love? What activities can you engage in this month to gift yourself with unconditional love?

Spiritual Questioning

Spiritual questioning is a part of what it means to be human. Asking questions brings the eternal into every day life. This month, please answer the following questions to deepen your SELF awareness and increase the sacred connection to your divine source.

* How would your life be different if you had no fear?
* Which blessings would you like to bestow on someone else?
* What do you do to search for yourself?
* What's the greatest thing you've ever done for someone else?
* What are you thankful for?
* If you could reach many people with one sermon, what would you say?

Synchronicity

Synchronicity is the phenomenon of meaningful coincidence. It is a connection between something going on outside us and something happening inside us. A synchronicity occurs when an event, a meeting, a conversation or a thought merges with our life's purposes or helps unfold our destiny. As Dave Richo states in his book, Unexpected Miracles, "All coincidences are connected by meaning, but synchronicity happens when the meaningfulness is relevant to our personal evolution." Synchronicity is a word made from two Greek terms meaning "joined with" and "time." Synchronicity is a bond or connection that happens in a timely way. A correspondence between two things is suddenly made clear. The unifying connection was always present but an immediate and meaningful coincidence makes it visible.

Below, please share your own experience of Synchronicity and how a meaningful coincidence opened a door on the path of your evolution. As we share our stories with one another, we will be reminded of the gift of Synchronicity and we will leave inspired to notice them and act on them in our daily lives.

Allowing

From March 21st to April 19th, we are influenced and governed by the energies of Aries. Aries marks the beginning of the zodiac and sets in motion the divine energies that will influence the themes of the coming twelve months. According to Carl Japikse and Robert Leichtman in their book The Forces of the Zodiac, "the specific forces which burst forth each year in Aries are the divine will to create and the will to manifest.... The work of Aries is to stimulate evolutionary change in our thinking and approach to life. The forces of this time endeavor to change our priorities, perspectives, and what we strive toward, bringing these elements of our character more into alignment with divine will and divine plans."

To take full advantage of the forces that are upon us in April, we must create and participate cooperatively with life by ALLOWING our essence, our soul, and our highest potential to come forth. We can choose to become like the budding flowers in spring or like the Tulips outside of my front door that continue to grow in spite of the snow. In each of us, lies dormant seeds that are waiting to blossom. We must get out of their way and allow the natural unfolding and growth to take place - despite the external conditions we may find ourselves in. We are the ones we have been waiting for and it is up to us to open the door within ourselves and allow our known and unknown potential to emerge.

With this in mind, I invite you to contemplate the Conscious Conversation Topic which is ALLOWING. More specifically, what aspect of yourself or possibility in your life is wanting to emerge?
