Spring Equinox
March 2010

Greetings!
Here we are "March"...ing into Spring already. I was laying in my hammock the other day, enjoying the sun shine and warmth. I posted my status on my Facebook profile and was responded too with " there is no hammock action happening back here " post from a friend in Pennsylvania who is in deep winter. The comment made me laugh and I pondered the point. It is easy to get caught in one's own perspective. We all have our own viewpoints, especially when experiencing our own internal as well as external weather patterns. There are always various simultaneous realities. What reality are you choosing? How do you see your world?
As always, I like to offer an alternate perspective of my own in order to stimulate the thought that we do have choice and choices as to how we experience something. The lens we observe through, our preferences, our beliefs and our environment stimulate our experiences. In my humble opinion, participating in that conscious knowing is a precursor to self mastery. As I have said before, this is the collective learning curve we are all in.
As well, the closer we get to mastery, the more we realize how intrinsically connected we all are to life and each other. We can experience this most profoundly through birthing or dying, and subtly in daily life through conscious observation as to how everything effects and influences everything else. See
the "Butterfly Effect".
In this newsletter, I will honor the experience of the Spring Equinox; offer you some inspiration about the power of commitment; remind you of this months' tele-class on how to Awaken Your Brain to make the most out of your life; plus give some reminders on how to use the power of intention to navigate through life changes and challenges.
Be gentle on yourself as things are speeding up. I am offering a Spring Energy Tune-Up special to help line you up with these changes.
Remember also to turn your clocks forward on March 14th when daylight savings time begins. Here in Arizona daylight savings is not observed.
In the meantime, love yourself into life and you will be a better lover of life.
Forever blessings,

Spring Equinox
Honoring The Season
 The spring equinox usually falls somewhere between March 20 -23. This year on March 20, 2010, at precisely 1:32 P.M. EDT, the Sun will cross directly over the Earth's equator. This moment is known as the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.
Translated literally, equinox
means "equal night." Because the sun is positioned above the equator,
day and night are about equal in length all over the world during the
equinoxes.
There is no shortage of rituals and traditions surrounding the coming
of spring. Many early peoples celebrated for the basic reason that
their food supplies would soon be restored.
The date is significant in Christianity because Easter
always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the
vernal equinox. It is also probably no coincidence that early Egyptians
built the Great Sphinx so that it points directly toward the rising Sun on the day of the vernal equinox. In Greek mythology, Persephone returns from the underworld to be reunited with her mother Demeter, and all the earth blooms with rejoicing. It is a time of new life.
Perhaps you remember the intentions you made during Winter Solstice or Autumn Equinox. What intentions did you make for this time? What of your dreams did you want to bloom in spring?
Here are some things you can do to make the best use of this pivotal time of year:
- Play - Let your inner child come out.
- Reclaim - Recreate a childhood scene to make it how you now would want it to be and own it as real now.
- Create - Make something new and fun. Make sure it is fun. Draw, dye Easter eggs, plant flowers.
- Cleanse - Spring is a great time to awaken the body from winter. Stretch, breathe and nourish thy self.
- Smile - studies have shown that smiling actually releases endorphins. Here is an article onthe top 10 reasons to smile.
Be gentle with you and your new projects. Day and night are equal in balance during Spring Equinox. All promise is young but manifesting. This not a time to push but a time to allow. Get into your child energy and love your inner child.
If your child self is sad, mad or wounded, do not ignore, but make a promise to give him/her a better life.* Yes? Good.
Happy Spring!
Holly Shantara

The Power of Intention
Use It or Lose It
Some have said,
" the path to hell is paved with good intentions." That would be a pessimists point of view and I am not one. However, I would say that if one does not use the power of intention, one might feel like they are in their own living hell.
Intention is the aim of the arrow towards it's target. It sets up a focused delivery system.
Visualize for a moment a goal you have. That is the target. Now you can look at the goal all you want, yet if you do not make some decisive aim to achieve that goal, it is going to stay as a distant dream with no reality. Now imagine your intention being to reach that goal with determination and ease and flow. To feel good about the process and to be pleased with the results. How much better is the experience going to be for you on the journey of arrow to target - intention to goal?
During this spring time, make some intentions to achieve some goal or dream. Follow-up the intentions with actions and don't worry about the " how" it's going to happen. Just keep asking yourself if your actions are bringing you closer or further away to your intentions and your target.
This is all part of the process of self-mastery. Living your life with intention can produce amazing results. Remember to follow it up with action and then be ready to receive it when it happens.
As I am a facilitator, I would be honored to be an ally on your path to achieve your goals. Please check out the coaching packages to see which one is right for you.

The Power of Commitment (Meditate on this)
by W.H. Murray from the Scottish Himalayan Expedition
"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:
that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would not otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have dreamed would come his way.
I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
'Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it! Boldness has genius, magic, and power in it.' "
Note: One of my very favorite, most inspiring all time quotes. May you be inspired as well.
