Blossoming into Spring

As the spring flower season grows near, consider the magnificent arrival of tulips that happen each year. They arrive without fail, welcoming warmer temperatures to our world. For the entire winter season, the bulb lies dormant. At just the right time in the year, the universe calls to the tulip bulb to send forth its growth and reach above the soil. Growing higher and reaching up to the warmth of the sun, the flower finally opens itself to the world.

I encourage you to use this as a two part meditation. Lead with this image of the tulip bulbs and seek to witness the energy that calls the flowers to bloom. Is it simply warm temperatures? Or is it more than that? Why is it that the tulip blooms only in the early spring and not any other time of the year? Is there an aspect of timing and alignment that results in this beautiful creation?

As you meditate on the attributes and conditions of the tulips, also consider the metaphor this might be for you. This is the second part of the meditation. What messages from the universe are being sent to you this spring? Is there something that has been lying dormant within you awaiting the call to blossom and grow? Spend some time with this. Perhaps you might even choose to meditate with a vase of tulips next to you or just hold a picture of them in your mind. The world is awaiting the flower that is you.
