Spring is Here

Winter can seem to be so long and dragged out. Lack of sunshine and low energy can hinder our spirits and cause us to be depressed, frustrated, or just plain lazy. A lot of us gain weight during the winter months which doesn't help our attitude. Now that spring is here, the sun's warmth and light refreshes us, lifts our moods and we feel better. Watch nature. See and listen to life coming back. Take the time to enjoy the renewing of God's creation.

What's neat about spring is that it's warming up but not hot. It's a great time to get involved in new projects and cooking great, healthy, low fat meals. Keeping ourselves light and hardy, feeling healthy in every way helps us spiritually as well as mentally.

Pick up some fresh flowers, go for walks, listen to soothing music, it's time to be refreshed and renewed!


Meditation:

In a quiet place inside or out doors, sit in a comfortable chair or position.  Breath deep and relax, with inhaling
raise your tummy and exhale slowly. Imagine that you are some where with nature, perhaps in an enchanted forest that has deer and other creatures. Imagine that you can go up to these kind creatures and tell them hello. You see in the forest beautiful wild flowers and trees. Colorful and serene is the forest.

Go where you will in your nature experience, don't forget to hear the sounds as well.
When you are finished, return slowly by counting to 3 and then open your eyes.

A start to a great week: fruit salad.  Oranges, apples, bananas, grapes, and other fruit that will help you be healthy and give you energy.

May this spring season bring you energy and wonderful renewal!
