Working with the seasons in our practise.


It seems as though the first signs of spring are appearing around us in London, the daffodils are finally coming into flower, with grape hyacinth and crocus and buds swelling and opening on some of the dormant plants and shrubs.

It is a time of year traditionally and spiritually for re-birth and renewal and I find that spring gives me renewed energy for tackling new things.
We can use the benefits that the seasons give us for our practise of meditation by tuning in to the world around us, whether that is our garden or parks, woods or other wild places.

Bringing our mind imaginatively to these signs of spring around us in nature, before we meditate or practise can imbue our practise with more energy, optimism and and joyfulness. We are all connected to this world of ours and being more consciously connected this spring can be of real benefit.
