SPRING HAS SPRUNG, Y’ALL

It's that time of year again - the vernal equinox! For those of you who don't know, the vernal equinox marks the first day of spring and is a time of rebirth, renewal, and general awesomeness. But did you know that there are both spiritual and scientific benefits to this celestial event?

From a spiritual perspective, the vernal equinox is all about balance. This is the time of year when the day and night are of equal length, representing a perfect equilibrium between light and dark. This balance can help us connect with our own inner harmony and find a sense of peace and stability in our lives. Plus, with the warmer weather and longer days ahead, it's a great time to start setting new goals and intentions for the months ahead.


From a scientific perspective, the vernal equinox is all about the tilt of the Earth's axis. During the equinox, the Earth is tilted neither towards nor away from the sun, meaning that the sunlight is evenly distributed across the entire planet. This even distribution of sunlight can have some pretty cool effects on the natural world, from triggering the annual migration of birds to kickstarting the growth of new plant life.


So, what can we do to make the most of this special time of year? Well, for starters, you might want to consider taking some time to meditate or do some deep breathing exercises, (inhale into your nose for a count of 4, exhale out of your mouth for a count of 8 - do this 10 times) to help you connect with the balance and harmony of the equinox. You could also spend some time in nature, enjoying the new growth and renewal that's taking place all around you. And of course, you can always indulge in some springtime treats (because let's be real, who doesn't love a good Peep?). Me. I don't love Peeps. They're a sensory nightmare.


Back to celebrating the arrival of spring! The vernal equinox is a time of spiritual and scientific significance, representing balance, renewal, and growth. Whether you're a seasoned spiritual seeker or a grounded science geek, there are plenty of reasons to celebrate this special day!
