Happy Imbolc

Imbolc marks the beginning of Spring and the stirrings of new life. Originating from the word Imbolg meaning 'in the belly'.

Look carefully and you’ll see that nature is pregnant and expectant - and only just visible if at all, like the gentle curve of a 'just-showing' pregnancy. The shoots of new life just emerging from beneath the surface of Mother Earth.

There’s the hint of renewal, of hidden potential, of nature awakening from her wintery slumber.

Yesterday, the family and I visited our local woodland and took time to connect with the newly emerging hints of Spring.

It’s a wonderful time to notice your breath. And you come to stillness now,

Imbolc is the festival of Brigid so loved as a pagan Goddess that her worship was woven into the Christian church as St Bridget. She is a Goddess of healing, a Goddess of Fire, of the Sun and of the Hearth. She brings fertility to the land and and is closely connected to pregnancy, midwives and babies. Part of the Triple Goddess, at Imbolc she is in her Maiden aspect.

If this resonates with you, I’d invite you now to take a moment of reflection.

Connecting with yourself and noticing what new ideas, potential and opportunity lies within.

As you breathe out, letting go of the past and to looking forward to the future, releasing the old, and making space for new beginnings.

With gratitude,
Nicola
