Utilizing the energy of the 40 days that have been cosmically set aside to prepare one for Spring’s potentiality, today is day 30 of the Lenten season. Every day of Lent holds the potential for change, with the twin energetic charges of the Spring Equinox on March 21 and the full moon of April 1, 2026, poised to finalize the seeds of greatness that are available for the asking.
During the Lenten season, the period of preparation for spring blessings, the Holy Spirit, the connecting rod between one’s spirit self and Soul guidance, is hard at work to continually provide one with the inspiration needed to deepen one's understanding of the spirit self. The Winter Solstice (December 21, 2025) delivered an unconscious sense of hibernation to the collective. December 21, the shortest day of the year, started the cosmic countdown toward the Spring Equinox and a powerful full moon.
Probably the best example of hibernation’s promise is the bear. Bears survive the winter without food or water for five months by slowing their heart rate, metabolism, and body temperature, relying on stored body fat for survival. Scientists report that the bear's essential bodily functions, such as calcium recycling and breathing continue. Even in hibernation, however, bears are alert and can defend themselves if necessary. As well, pregnant bears can even deliver cubs in the state of hibernation.
So, what’s the metaphysical message of the Winter Solstice as it relates to Lent? The Winter Solstice is designed to help individuals tap into their inner power. A time for personal renewal. Energetically, the Winter Solstice demands rest and introspection in preparation for a spiritual awakening. Lent is the time that says, “Okay, you’ve had your inner hibernation, now what are you going to do with it?” The bear in hibernation continues its physical journey but defers to greater priorities. What, you ask, is your greater priority???
The Lenten season is the end time of the Winter Solstice; a time for final retreating and nesting in order to restore one’s true spiritual nature of wisdom and healing, natural spirit traits. What area of life presents the need to hibernate from for you? There is just over two weeks to go before your personal portal opens to a wonder spiritual awakening if you are doing the inner work now.
Prepare now to receive your personalized Lenten message by sequestering yourself in a garden, on a beach or on a mountain and ask, “How might I best be served by this Lenten season?” Then listen. What an exciting time!
You are increasing Earth’s light – one spiritual action at a time.
AFFIRMATION: I receive and heed all messaging that Lent is delivering to me.
