May is a special month. May- the month for fertile creativity. A month that stirs up ideas and longings which could have laid dormant throughout the winter. Named after Maia, Roman goddess of fertility and growth, May's warmth starts to soften the earth in preparation for planting new seeds. This could be the perfect time to ask yourself, "What new seeds do I want to plant?"
It is no coincidence that this season allows new shoots of thinking to develop - this is a naturally fertile season, not just for the earth but for your mind, your body and your dreams.
Although fertility, for some, may mean babies, it's also about planting the seeds of possibility for new or renewed beginnings.
How exciting does this sound, to be nurturing the seeds of whatever it is you are meant to create? New or renewed business ideas, relationships, creative arts, hobbies, or simply a more grounded version of you.
None of this needs to be hurried. As the warmth of the sun loosens up the hard soil, give yourself warm permission to loosen up your mindset.
-
What is stirring inside you right now?
-
What has laid dormant waiting for your attention?
-
What would happen if you let yourself believe in your own timing?
When you notice what's ready and waiting to come alive in you, how about taking one small step towards it? Maybe this means taking chances or saying 'yes' to something which scares you.
May is soft, yet she's also super powerful. Use her natural fertility to help plant and nurture those powerful ideas which are stirring inside you.
How about grounding yourself and asking these questions.
-
What am I longing to create right now - emotionally, spiritually of physically?
-
What does fertility mean to me at this stage in my life?
-
What dreams have been quietly waiting for me to notice them?
-
Where in my life am I ready to grow - even if I feel unsure?
-
What would it feel like to trust my own dreams?
-
What would it feel like to trust my own timing, much like the seasons do?
Take things slowly there is no rush.
"Keep planting new seeds until your mind becomes the earth that gives birth to new worlds" Curtis Tyrone Jones
