With every breath taken in, we are breathing in what Nature is breathing out. And as we breathe out, trees can breathe in. Our warm exhale keeps them alive. What a harmony and endless mystery we live in. A constant rhythm that connects us to the heartbeat of the Mother Earth, La Pacha Mama.
We step into Imbolc, the ancient festival of returning Light and nature is slowly awakening from her winter deep sleep. Imbolc, also known as Candlemas, marks the midpoint between winter and spring. The first stirrings of life emerge beneath the frozen earth. Just as nature breathes in new energy, so do we.
In this sacred transition arising let's observe the subtle and bigger changes, be grateful and honor our own inner renewal. Just as the days grow brighter, our inner flame is warming our bodies, guiding us and making space for more clarity.
Breath guiding us to the Heart
The heart, much like the earth, has its own cycles in every beat. It expands and contracts, it softens and strengthens. Through breath, we can consciously create space in the heart: to feel, to release, to welcome in new energy.
Our breath is the bridge between our physical bodies and the greater pulse of life around us. Each inhale brings in life, and each exhale cleanses our bodies from unnecessary heaviness. We can bring this rhythm into our daily practices, the moments when we seek to connect with our hearts.
A beautiful way to work with breath and the energy of Imbolc is through aromatic rituals that connect us to the heart. There is a gentle invitation with Raw Essence Heart Chakra Oil. A thoughtful loving blend infused with botanicals that open the heart and support emotional balance.
A Simple Imbolc Ritual for Renewal
How? Find a quiet space. Light a candle to honor the returning light.
- Take a few deep breaths. Place a drop of Heart Chakra Oil onto your chest, letting its scent harmonize any arising feelings in the body and the heart.
- Set an intention or just be with WHAT IS. As you inhale, welcome in new energy. As you exhale, release anything that is not yours anymore. Feel the support of Heart Chakra Oil, the loved ones and ancestors who walk this path with you.
✨ Sit in stillness, feeling your breath move through you. Know that, just like nature, you are continuously renewing.
Embodying the Energy of Imbolc
Imbolc invites us to trust in the Unseen, the seeds beneath the earth, the shifts within our own hearts. As we breathe, as we soften, as we honor this transition, we align with the wisdom of nature’s cycles.
We are returning to the Light!
With love & care,
