We’re in the season of Ostara on The Celtic Wheel (March 20 - May 1). We see these energetic themes of Ostara showing up in nature and in ourselves, because we’re all connected:
expansive and exuberant
lifeforce rising
a coming alive
contemplation of the dance of opposing forces and finding balance - dark and light, masculine and feminine, inner and outer, fears and desires
celebration of birth and renewal
a time for new beginnings
plant seeds for the future
Ostara energy has shown up for me this season in ways I didn’t expect. I have seen and experienced and felt ALL of these energies this season.
I woke up not feeling well on March 28 - the day I was heading to Wisconsin for a week of pranic healing training and retreat. I was REAL DING-DANGED excited about this trip! I thought it would be expansive, exuberant, a coming alive, an energetic upgrade, new experiences and new information that would be explosively exciting, like the spring blooms bursting out of the ground.
You feel my vibe? I was REAL excited.
I was bummed that I didn’t feel great but figured it was probably just a little cold and I pushed on (I did test negative for COVID). I can be willful, and some may even say stubborn (you’re laughing aren’t you Mom?). When I have my mind set on something NOTHING will stop me! Not the sore throat, not the body aches, not the rising 102 temp…nothing!
Here’s the short story: It was COVID. I avoided it for 3 years and THIS was the day it came. I tested negative until Friday morning so I was permitted to be masked in the back of the conference room for the first 2 days.
Then I was alone in my hotel room for 3 days watching HGTV and being SICK!
Oh yeah, and a tornado went through that Friday night! Resort staff knocked on doors and evacuated guests to the CREEPY old basement. A tree fell on a room. Luckily there were no injuries at the resort.
There are only 8 pranic healing masters in the WORLD and 2 of them were there. There was some serious energy at that resort folks!
None of this was what I expected. But here’s how I have come to see it:
I had the opportunity to ask for help- I always need practice with that
I was cared for- thank you Paula Lord, and other healers
I had the opportunity to deeply rest and relax for 3 full days
When you are that sick there is no better place to be than in the energy of 2 masters of pranic healing and over 200 healers from all over the world
I got what I needed. I always do. Sometimes I don’t know what I need, so I am redirected.
When I look at that list of energetic themes of Ostara season, I have experienced ALL of them this season. I love that about The Celtic Wheel – it offers an awareness of the many energies flowing through us, shifting, expanding us, and the lessons that nature mirrors for us.
I’m finally feeling better after 2+ weeks. I’m feeling like I’m coming alive again. Another Ostara theme. I know the rest was necessary. I know that seeds were planted. I know this is a new beginning. There is always a new beginning.
How has Ostara energy presented in your life? Have things gone as you expected? What lessons has the season brought you? How will you choose to use them?
