You may already be feeling it: suddenly you are furrowing through your closet in search of things to throw away, or you are roaming around in your living space looking to de-clutter, caught ina joyful frenzy to clean up so that by the time you finally fling your windows wide open for that sun-lit Spring air, you have made some space for the new and the renewed in your life. But you may also be experiencing it on a more physical level in your own body: less stiffness, less heaviness, more flexibility, a certain feeling of overall lightness despite not having lost any weight, or worked out, or changed your routine in any way whatsoever. A physiological sense of being well in your skin that affects even your overall mood. What has happened? As the deep dark cold of winter days gives way to the fragrant warmth of the Spring, the sunlit days grow long on us again and temperature climb, leading our shrunken circulatory channels to dilate, thawing toxic build-up, and initiating the physiology into a nature detox mode. In nature, things become very pretty as pulsating life once more flows freely through the plant kingdom, spreading colorful and fragrant blooms everywhere. It’s a recurrent annual event, timed by Mother Nature, that embraces all aspects of life on every level. We, as humans, are not only an important part of this annual transformation, but we can also chose to become central players by maintaining and supporting Nature’s re-awakening, or delay and impede it.
