Spring is the perfect time to reconnect with ourselves and lean into our growth. The increase in daylight after the darkest months of the year feels invigorating. Seeing nature come to life makes us feel revived. This is why many cultures traditionally celebrated this transition with ceremonies and by practicing rituals that honor the return of light. Here are some rituals that you can practice to honor spring’s sense of renewal and to attract more light in the form of joy, love, and abundance into your life.
Neutralize negative energies in your home.
Use a bell or a tambourine to cleanse all of the spaces in your home with sound. Follow by spraying rue flower essential oil throughout your home. Start at the front door and work your way clockwise.
Use vinegar to get rid of bad energy left over from winter.
Find a corner of your house that is special to you. Then fill a glass a third full with salt. Fill the rest of the glass with vinegar, creating a mixture. Put the glass on a plate and place it in the corner you have chosen. The effects of the evaporation of the vinegar as the days go by will remove any negative residue left over from winter.
Attract abundance with seeds.
Write a request on a blank piece of white paper. Search for seeds of any fruit with which you identify and plant them in a pot containing a jade plant. Jade plants are associated with abundance. When planting the seeds, visualize them charged with light, and focus on your written dream beginning to germinate.
If you can, visit a very high place like a pyramid so that you can receive the energy of the sun.
According to many ancient cultures, pyramids represent a way to be closer to the gods. They are considered sacred precincts. Even if you can’t find your way to a pyramid, you can connect with sunlight by raising your hands to receive its energy.
Detox with verbena tea.
Any change of season can leave you feeling fatigued. Experts say it has to do with the internal movement of energies. Verbena tea can help you sip away that sense of fatigue. You could even use an ambient nebulizer to spread the essence throughout your home.
Take an energizing bath.
Get peppermint, white daisies, white rose petals, and white carnation petals. Place them in a container or bowl with water and let them sit overnight. The next day, before taking a bath, light a white candle and invoke your inner wisdom to open the way for you and guide you in the right direction. Then take a bath using water from the bowl to bathe.
Use the power of plants associated with prosperity and abundance.
Sow verbena, rosemary, and clove seeds in three different pots to attract health, love, and money. Keep them outside your home, and water them at least once a week while visualizing their powers and concentrating on your desires.
Awaken your creativity with the power of trees.
Find a park or a forest and walk in it, enjoying contact with nature. Choose the tree that you like the most and sit next to it, asking its spiritual guardians for permission. Dig a small hole in the ground and place a key and a coin inside, cover them with soil, and ask Mother Nature to unlock the pathways to creating the reality you want.
Attract love or take your relationship to another level with a red rose.
Place a single petal from a red rose under your mattress. Mix the remaining petals and a little bit of cinnamon in a container filled with water. Before going to sleep, meditate on how you want to be loved, and meditate on your perfect love. The next day, take a bath with the cinnamon rose water.
Use rice to channel prosperity.
Place a cup of rice and three grains of pepper in a covered glass jar. Form a triangle with two candles—one green and one gold—and the jar. Light the candles with wooden matches, then repeat three times: “Spring brings wealth, abundance, and prosperity to me in harmony with the whole world. I am full.”
Do a preparation meditation to receive the energy of the sun using essential oils.
At the beginning of your meditation, use an aromatic extract of lavender so that you can relax. Sit in a comfortable space and close your eyes. Focus on your breath as you inhale and exhale. Visualize a ray of light. Concentrate on it and on the sensations it brings. At the end of your meditation, aromatize the environment with mint so that you fully awaken.
Wear white to better absorb the energy of the sun.
Wear white to represent the purity, tranquility, and renewal you want to attract. Wearing white is symbolic of starting from scratch and encourages the energy of the sun's rays to open paths of light for you.
Attract good fortune and the wisdom of nature with yellow flowers.
Make a list of all your wishes for good fortune and invoke your inner wisdom as you write them down. Make these wishes with a sense of harmony, knowing that they will unfold without harming anyone. Place the petals of a yellow flower inside the sheet of paper and hold onto them for the year.
Achieve your material goals.
If you want to buy a house, change your car, or acquire a material good, it’s important that you feel you deserve it. Place an object or a photo of whatever material thing you want to obtain in front of the image of Mother Earth. Spend spring feeling like these goods are already yours, and give thanks.
Think positive thoughts!
Repeat affirmations that speak to your desire for inner renewal and prosperity. You can find them in books or online, or make up your own. Repeat them to yourself often and with conviction. Believe them.
Revive your professional or work goals with a blue candle ritual.
Give projects and work renewed energy by lighting a blue candle. Write your professional and work-related wishes on a white sheet of paper, then burn the sheet with the light of the candle. Allow yourself to feel as if the wishes have already come true.
Let go of any bad vibes winter left behind.
If you want a fresh spring start, it is important let go of past bad experiences. To do so, write down everything you want to let go of, then burn the paper with the flame of a yellow candle so that it transmutes your pain and transforms it into maturity and success.
Use basil to start your inner spring full of self-esteem and self-love.
Basil is an ideal herb to attract success because it helps you strengthen your self-esteem, something that is pretty essential if you want to grow and flourish. Take a bath and add a little bit of basil to the water to give your self-esteem a boost.
This pre-Hispanic ritual invokes spiritual fertility.
Prepare some copal, and with the first ray of sun, burn it (you can also use incense) and surround your body with the smoke. Ask the sun to purify your body, your mind, and your soul while you invoke prosperity in all areas of your life. Take a few minutes to connect with the cosmos. Then drink hot tea.
Create a small symbolic garden in your house.
Channel the fertility of the earth during spring. Create a little garden in your home using pots filled with plants that are symbolic of everything you want to attract—for example, parsley to ward off envy or jasmine for economic abundance. It’s great way to reap what you sow.
