Intuitive Thoughts from Teresa

As my good friend Loraine just reminded me, February is the longest month of the year. This year I could not have agreed with her more. We had a lot less sun and more cold.

February was like a being in labor transition- not being fully in one place or another; yet feeling the discomfort, wanting to stay put and needing to move forward.

March is like the second stage of labor. We get to shift gears. We can see and feel the finish line because it is in sight–Spring is coming.

Pushing (or putting our inner musings from winter out into the world) gives us an active role in getting there.

In case you missed it!

Monday, March 8, 2010, I was a guest on the VoiceAmerica Health & Wellness Channel with Karen Angstadt on her weekly program A Labor of Love: Expectations for Pregnancy and Parenting.

Living Intuitive Observations

Anticipating Spring while Standing in the Mud

Peaceful StreamOver the years I have finally come to know from repeated disappointment that March is not spring. Yes, the first day of spring lands in March. The birds start returning with their lighthearted singing, and the air awakens our senses with its magically light fresh scent. Despite all of these signs, the reality is, especially at 8200 feet, that spring arrives in May after we receive another good 2 to 4 feet of snow. March = Mud.

Today, kissed by a warm spring like day amidst the birds, sun and riverlets of melting snow and mud, my neighbors and I conspire for May.

Although our garden still lives under 2 feet of snow, we are dreaming about what we will plant and where to put our new chicken coop.

As we plan our garden, I will take some quiet time and connect with the garden spirits and with the energy of the seeds to tune with and listen to where the carrots and beans want to grow and thrive.

This practice is not unlike the one I share with parents and their unborn children.
Grounding, connecting with, and inquiring–what do you need to come in, plant and thrive?

As the babies grow, we ask what nutrients do you need today to grow and thrive.

These are exercises that I have shared in both the Pregnancy and Living Intuitive Mediation Connection Series Week 4 called the Nourishment Exercise.

As whiffs of spring fever start to filter into your life explore:

  • What seeds do you wish to cultivate and to nourish?
  • What have you been gestating throughout this long winter that is ready to be shared with the world outside of you?

Below are my sprouts and starter plants that I have been cultivating. Locally, there are 5 upcoming class opportunities in the Denver/Boulder metro area.

I love to travel so if you feel inspired about any of these classes and want to experience them live and feel you can get a group together, contact me at Teresa@LivingIntuitive.com.
