Spring equinox: feel the energy of life

The spring equinox falls on March 20-21. From this moment begins the astronomical spring, which lasts until the summer solstice on June 21. Followers of various spiritual traditions believe that developing practices have special power on this day. Why? Our experts speak.

We asked followers of various spiritual practices to recommend us one exercise that is best suited for this outstanding astronomical moment. In response, they sent recommendations that differ from each other in form, but in essence they are aimed at accomplishing the same task: to recharge their batteries so that they can start turning their dreams into reality. “The vernal equinox is the moment of transition from dark winter to bright summer. If in winter we think more often, our attention is more often turned inward, then with the awakening of nature we tend to act actively,” commented the singer, performer of deep music Peruquois. – In addition, the spring equinox is a balance of male (light, yang) and female (darkness, yin). We are moving from the dark feminine side of nature to a more masculine expression. It will bring more light, lightness and activity into our lives.” This is why the spring equinox is the perfect time to look into the future and decide what we want to see in it.

Boost your energy

Effect: the exercise fills with new forces, clarifies thoughts and activates all metabolic processes in the body, and also perfectly cleanses the nasopharynx.

Technique performance: sit in a comfortable position for meditation. For example, on your knees, in the lotus position, or simply with your legs crossed. The key is to keep your back straight. Breathe through your nose. Inhale and make a short exhalation – sharp, like a blow. At the time of exhalation, the abdominal wall should be pressed against the spine, so the exercise is best performed on an empty stomach. Do 30-40 repetitions. Rest for a few minutes and repeat as many breaths as you did the first time.

Stimulate the flow of energy in the body

Effect: simple manipulations will help to cheer up, strengthen the connection with your own body and feel the taste of life more fully.

Equipment: turn on your favorite music in the morning and dance. Move as your intuition tells you to. During the day, get up from your desk several times to stretch, walk, if possible, do a few bends and squats. Use eucalyptus, peppermint, or citrus essential oils to improve concentration. They can be inhaled directly from the bottles or added drop by drop to your regular liquid soap or hand cream that you use throughout the day. When you get home, give your feet a massage. Rub your feet vigorously until you feel warmth in your palms.

Compose a song of your desires

Effect: your personal song will help make your dreams come true. When we sing, we invoke the higher powers, no matter what we call them.

Equipment: you will need about three hours. As well as green tea (preferably not packaged), incense (sage is best, but you can take something else), candles, paper, a pen, a voice recorder, as well as ritual music of the ancient Indians. It is available at peruquois.ru/nativebed. Go to bed early the night before and set your alarm for 4 am. Before getting out of bed, place your right hand on your heart, your left hand on your lower abdomen. Breathe in, feeling the energy move through your lower abdomen to your heart and out through your mouth. Exhale with a “haaa” sound. Repeat three more times. Light candles, make green tea. Before putting the leaves in the teapot, inhale their aroma. Enjoy every sip. Set your intention to write a song that reflects your deepest feelings and desires. Light the incense, sit comfortably on the floor or cushion. Take 18 warm breaths through your nose, short and deep, engaging your lower abdominal muscles. Seven “Ommm” sounds will help warm up the vocal cords. Remember what the outgoing winter brought you. And then run the downloaded track. If you want, dance. Most importantly, keep breathing with your belly and watch what words and phrases come to mind. Stay open and don’t judge, just observe and just write down whatever comes to mind. Perhaps you will write a few pages, or maybe it will be just a few words. When the flow dries up, start making a song out of them. It is important to use the present tense, as if everything you want is already happening. Rhymes may not exist, and a melody may not be born immediately. Even if there are only a couple of lines and no music so far, repeat them in recitative. After dawn, blow out the candles and head to the nearest park or square. Keep humming your song. And when you return home, write down what happened on the recorder. In order not to forget the song of your deepest desires, even leaving this level of consciousness.

Lifestyle in spring

Recommendations of the Ayurvedic doctor Dilipkumar (Atreya Ayurveda Center)

“With the advent of heat, the metabolism naturally slows down. To normalize the metabolism, it is worth eating low-fat foods that are easy to digest. It is good to include barley, millet groats, honey, grilled meat, sour-milk products in the menu. It is useful to drink boiled water with ginger and lemon. Spend more time in the sun, gradually increasing the duration of the air baths. Lead a more active sex life. And avoid daytime naps.”
