Power of Stillness

The power of stillness!

The month of March brings the promise of spring and transformation.  You might be saying to yourself... Really?

The transformation of March into the splendor of spring pushes us to let go and shed our layers to embrace the changes for not only the seasons but for ourselves.  So often we hold on so tightly to how things are now in fear of moving forward to avoid hurt.  (Especially during fertility treatments)

How can you balance the power of this transformational energy while dealing with disappointment, heartbreak and uncertainty? 

One strategy is through the power of stillness, through being in nature and connecting to the amazing energy of creation.

For me personally, after the loss of our first pregnancy, I hid inside of our house alone with my sorrow.  What helped me bring myself back was the simple act of being with the sadness, acknowledging it and sitting in the springtime's sunshine. 

The energy of the outside can change your heart.  So for this month, and since March is said to come in like a lion and go out like a lamb, I am assigning homework...

    ·    Be with yourself in silence for 10 minutes a day during March... Really, try it in the car... can you be quiet for 10 minutes? No cell phone or music playing?  Become curious about what thoughts come up and how you feel.

    ·    Second, be outside for 10 minutes just for you!  Bundle up for the lioness part of March and wear flip flops for the lamb of March.

These are two very simple and transformational exercises to help you connect and be in your unique inner power.
