After a long frustrating winter, Spring has Sprung! The forsythia is now in bloom and tender young leaves are blanketing the mystical Catskill mountains with a tapestry of green. Beautiful flowers are popping up everywhere. The animals are mating and pollen is filling the air. Look around and you’ll see signs of new life everywhere. What a great blessing for those seeking a boost in manifesting their dreams, and what a great time to transform your dreams into reality. Your prayers and wishes can be greatly enhanced by working with the rhythms of nature and during the month of May the active “male”, or Yang principle, is getting stronger as shown by the increasing sun strength and warming temperatures – and subsequently the receptive Yin, or “female” aspect of nature, is responding in magical ways as seen in the beautiful flowers and the rich green hues bursting forth on Mother Earth. With new life comes new hopes, new beginnings and new ideas. A period of movement and growth is beginning.
Try this exercise in conjunction with your familiar methods for prayer, visualization, manifestation and ride the creative wave of May.
- Get relaxed and comfortable. Do a deep relaxation
- Start to think about the 1 or 2 most important things that you are trying to create in your life right now.
- While in meditation give each of your dreams an appropriate color (either choose a color or ask Spirit to choose one for you)
- Give each of your dreams a shape (again by choice or through Spirit).
- Each of your dreams is now colored shapes in your minds eye. See or intuit a simple symbol being etched upon each colored shape, again being appropriate to the dream each one represents.
- Plant each of these colored shapes (with symbols) in fertile soil in the ground (in your mind’s eye)
- “See” the hand of Spirit coming down from the heavens watering the ground. See the entire ground around your “seeds” (which are the colored shapes representing your dreams planted in the rich soil of Mother Earth) turning a brilliant gold. See the warm sun further energizing and activating your seeds.
- After this process is done try this: Meditate on each successive day in May:
While in deep relaxation see your seeds sprouting and growing, getting larger and fuller each day you meditate. Notice the leaves, shapes and patterns of your plants as well as colors and notice how they align with the dream that each plant represents. Visualize the “hand of Spirit” watering the plants each day (creating more golden light). Toward later month start to notice (in your visualizations) that hundreds of buds are starting to swell on your growing plants until one day during later May or June all the buds open up into beautiful multi-colored and multi-shaped flowers; each flower representing an aspect of your dreams manifesting. See the symbol you chose for the seeds in your first meditation now etched in each blossom. You know at this point that your work is done, nature has taken it’s course and your dreams are in the process of fulfillment. From this point forward simply “let Go, let God” and remain in the light of pure love and outrageous joy.
