3 Ways to Find Your Courage!

In many cultures around the world, Spring is celebrated as the New Year!  The first day of Spring was March 20 this year.  The first New Moon falls on March 28 and happens to be in Aries!  Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, so we really are turning a fresh page and standing at the start of our new path!

I love this energy of new beginnings!  It makes me feel like I can do anything!

The ram is the animal associated with the Zodiac sign Aries.  The ram is a symbol of courage, playfulness and strength - so let's tap into the power of this Guide to help us start this new year with strength, focus and courage!

Remember Your Moments of Courage

Take a moment to take a deep breath, throw your shoulders back, lift your chin and call up your courage.

Remember times when life has invited you to be strong, brave and courageous!

Write down three or four of the most courageous moments in your life that you are most proud of!

Now that you're in the state of knowing that you have a courageous power in you, that you can tap whenever you need it, visualize what you want to conquer this year!

Call for a Symbol for Strength

Close your eyes and breathe deeply and evenly until you feel your breath regulate.

Allow your body to become relaxed.

Visualize that there is a still lake in the center of your being.

Allow yourself to sense this lake very clearly.  If you can not see it, imagine it: how still it looks, how you feel looking upon it.

Now ask the lake to give you a symbol of strength to carry with you as you traverse this world!

Accept the symbol that arises, don't judge it or distrust yourself.

Now that you have your symbol of strength, think of creative ways that you can keep it with you or call upon it in your daily life.  Can you find an image of it to print and keep with you, to post on your fridge, or save as your phone screen?  Can you draw it?  Can you find a version of it to wear as a pendant?
