The Great Unfolding

The Great Unfolding

April, the month of “The Great Unfolding”. Huge swathes of plant and natural life begin to unfurl and unfold, revealing their beauty and purpose.  New life is emerging and growth is occurring at a frantic speed, it is in our eye line everywhere, everyday.  

Tightly packed buds, push up and out, pulsing their way into the strengthening sunlight, each bud birthing new life. Shiny outer skins, unravel, extending vibrant leaves and petals. Each day, growing fuller, as they feed from the light of the sun and rainwater.

Animal life everywhere responds to “The Great Unfolding”. Activity increases as plans start to roll out and action is taken, new life is given to ideas, as dreams and hopes start to take shape.

Unravel and Reveal

We too may feel our own unfurling as we physically stretch out, lengthening muscles and limbs. Perhaps we are more inclined to move the physical body, as our energy draws from our depths to the surface of the skin. 

We may wish to explore our own unfolding. What lies beneath our sleepy heart, what wants to take shape, express itself, to reveal its purpose? The awakening, vibrant energies of April in Spring asks us, what tightly packed buds of potential are ready to open and reveal themselves? 

Activate to Unfold

April is a month where we activate, move forward into exploring our own unfolding. Taking physical actions to bring our dreams to life. If not, we may stagnate or feel stuck with despairing lifelessness. Low mood and frustration arises when we don’t take the relevant actions to push forward into discovering our own unfolding hearts.

It’s common to encounter obstacles when bringing our wishes and ideas to fruition. Here, we must employ our own mailability, when taking the relevant actions, like the pliable tendrils of spring plant life.

Take A Step Forward

To grow, we must progress, take actions that bring our long held dreams to life. They can be huge or small, important or trivial, it doesn’t matter, each step is a step forward into discovering what lays beneath the layers of our heart, supporting its opening growth ready for our summer to flourish and bloom.
