Friday: Spring Equinox 🌿🌷
The Spring Equinox is one of the four most powerful times of the year along with the Solstices, and is a time of rebirth and beginning anew. Much learning, shifting, growth, and healing can take place today and in the coming weeks, but you need to focus your intention and actively use the energy in order to get maximum benefit from this special energy.
Here in Hong Kong, the Equinox peaks at 10:46pm.
Let the energy support you in starting something new, whether a new habit, relationship, project, or exploring something you've always wanted to do. It's also a fantastic day to work on your Reiki affirmations, or any kind of manifesting technique. For those who are sensitive to intense energy, make sure to do a grounding exercise today.

This is seen as a powerful time of new beginnings, so here are some suggestions for working with the energy:
Create a “sacred space” for your Equinox activities. This can be as simple as going to your favourite spot in nature to meditate on on the themes of the Equinox, receive insights, and express gratitude from your heart for the blessings in your life. Or as elaborate as preparing your chosen space by first cleansing it with sage, palo santo, or your preferred purifying incense, and then creating a sacred circle (using energy techniques, crystals etc.) in which to do your preferred activity.
You may prefer to use the time for a healing treatment (self-treating with Reiki or other healing energy) to release any “old” energy or blockages. Or perhaps for meditation, a “ritual”, a celebration, or all of the above! Do what feels right for you, and enjoy the energy.
If you would like to focus your attention on the process of healing and releasing old hurts, emotional traumas etc., you can do a self-healing session (Reiki etc.). Work through each "issue" one at a time, starting by placing the hands over the area of the body where you feel the issue resides. Whilst inhaling, imagine violet light filling the area with healing... and when you exhale, imagine the issue as a dark fog leaving the body. Repeat until you can no longer imagine any dark fog. Give thanks for the healing and for the lessons you have learned. Repeat this process as required.
For a ritual to release the “old” and welcome the “new”, honour the fire element (fire is purifying, as well as signifying change and transformation):
Burn something that represents what you wish to release, or perhaps something from your childhood or from your youth that represents very powerfully an identity of yours that is passed. Instead of an object, you can also burn a piece of paper on which you have clearly written what you would like to release (if you use this method, you should truly express yourself without judgement). For example, "I completely and joyfully release my fear of...". Or, "I completely and joyfully release all negative energy and experiences from...” etc. Just be clear about what experiences, energies, habits etc. you are releasing.
1. Sitting quietly and comfortably, breathe deeply and evenly. Whilst holding or contemplating the object, express what it means to you, and why you are joyfully releasing it permanently. If you are using paper, read what you have written, preferably aloud (if no-one will hear you).
2. When you are ready, it is time to burn the paper/object. Have a fire-safe dish (a steel cooking pot etc.) ready. Set the paper alight, and place it in the fire-safe container... as it burns, strongly intend or feel that all of your fears, issues etc., are also being burned and purified. Feel the sense of release, and of the sense of re-birth... NOW is the time for a new start!
As you burn this/these items, give thanks for the lessons you have learned, for the person you have become... and joyfully release the old.
Celebrate this day of rebirth and renewal, and allow yourself time to enjoy the energy of the Spring Equinox: an opportunity to experience a time of transformation, growth and empowerment.
Wishing all of you a wonderful day of great energy and new beginnings!
Many blessings,
Chantal 💜
