Growth isn’t always rainbows and butterflies. 🦋 I’m coming to learn that for every way in which we expand or level up, we must let something else go. Sometimes it’s external circumstances we must release, and sometimes it can be letting go of aspects of our personality that aren’t truly in alignment with our true / highest Self, but we played them out for so long because we were conditioned to by others’ expectations. In order to expand into the next version of ourselves, dive deeper on our spiritual path, or move into next chapters in our lives, it’s an equal amount of letting go and death as it is excitement and stepping in. While going deeper is so so beautiful, exciting, and rewarding, it’s also important to honor the difficult side of it! Both sides are beautiful and necessary, as this world couldn’t exist without dualities. It’s the yin and yang of growth. 🌈🦋 📸: christinaleighphotos

On Rebirth. 🐣 Happy Easter, my friends! Easter symbolizes resurrection and rebirth. As I reflected on the symbology of this day over my morning oatmeal, I realized how beautiful of a time this is for rebirth within ourselves. As we hatch out of winter, now is the time to discover what aspects of ourselves or our lives we’d like to be reborn. Maybe there’s a piece of your authentic Self that you’ve been suppressing or not letting out fully recently, how can you let that part reemerge? Or maybe you’ve drifted away from a hobby or a habit that you’d like to reinvigorate. Maybe there is a friendship you’d like to reignite. Perhaps you have a goal or vision that you can reenergize! As we reflect on this day, we remember that miracles can happen and that we and others can be reborn. 💕 📸: christinaleighphotos

Monday was the full moon in Libra, as well as the lunar eclipse, so if you’ve felt some energetic shifts, that could definitely be the culprit. I’m newly intro astrology and excited to keep expanding my knowledge of it, because it certainly aligns with yoga in regards to what practices we can implement and insights we can gain during specific times. This full moon brings lessons of how to balance two sides of the spectrum - honoring our own needs while also looking out for others. Have you recently felt like you’ve tried to give a lot of your energy to someone and it wasn’t reciprocated or valued? This is a great opportunity to reflect upon how we can best show up for others. We have limited energy per day, so how can we invest our time and energy into those who matter most and where we are truly valued? And how can you best invest in yourself so you can show up for others even stronger and happier? This season, Aries season, also brings a time of renewal, fresh starts, and new beginnings as we move into spring. Things can seem to get ripped away from us and doors may close - and even if it’s tough, remember it’s happening FOR us so that new and even better doors have the opportunity to open. Instead of trying to pry a closing door back open, can we keep our eyes peeled for the new doors, the new opportunities, right in front of us? 💫♈️ 📸: christinaleighphotos
