Ostara Meditation for a New Beginning

Happy Spring, my magickal friend!

This Ostara meditation will help you to embrace a new beginning in your life. Starting something new can be a bit scary sometimes, so this meditation will help to alleviate some of that stress. Going into a new beginning with an open mind and an open heart will set you up for success. 

Establish the breath

Find a comfortable spot for your body to rest while doing this meditation. Once you have made yourself comfortable with your spine elongated, gently close your eyes. Start by taking a deep, full breath in. Feel the air fill your lungs to capacity. Hold it for a moment while the oxygen saturates your blood. 

Then slowly breathe out, feeling your lungs contract as the air slowly leaves your body. Continue this slow, steady rhythm for a few moments. Feel the air flowing in and then out of your body. There is a comfort in the steady rhythm, in and then out again. 

Connecting to yourself

Once you have established a steady rhythm to your breathing, turn your attention to your physical body. Starting at the top of your head, send your consciousness to the place where your spirit connects with the Universe. 

Then bring that consciousness down into your face, feeling the air on your skin and the breath coming in and out of your nose and mouth. Then your consciousness moves down into your neck and shoulders, releasing any tension you feel built up there. 

Now continue moving your consciousness down into your chest where you feel your heart beating and your lungs moving the air through your body. Then bring your consciousness down your arms and hands, feeling the energy coursing through you. 

Then your consciousness moves down into your stomach and abdomen, where your power center lies. And then bring your consciousness down to your hips and thighs, feeling the solidness of the place where you rest. Finally your consciousness flows down your legs to your feet, where your connection with Mother Earth begins. 

Connecting to Mother Earth

Your consciousness moves down from your feet into the hardness of the Earth beneath you. The Earth feels alive with life in this springtime season. There is movement all around you in the ground from critters moving in their boroughs to the flowers breaking through the ground to touch the sunlight. 

There is a quickening to the Earth, a feeling that something great is about to begin. You don’t know what it is yet, but the energy is palpable. You take a deep breath in, filling your lungs with the scents of the spring and feel the Ostara energy course through you. Now, you are ready to begin. 

New Beginning: Starting where you are

Every journey must begin from somewhere. Right now, take stock of where you are. What events are going on in your life that have brought you to this new beginning? Is there another chapter in your life that is closing so that this new beginning can come to be? Are you ready to begin this journey?

These are important questions to ask yourself because in order to move forward on this journey, you have to know where you are. Sit for a moment and be with yourself in the present moment. Feel where this new beginning sits in your body. 

Do you feel it in your power center? Is it coming from your heart? Does the energy resonate in your throat? When you get a sense of where this new beginning energy is coming from, you can get a better understanding of where you are starting from. 

New Beginning: From dream to plan

Now think about this new beginning. What thoughts created this new path for you? What dream are you hoping to turn into a reality? How long has this dream been in your head?

This is the time to turn this dream into a real start for yourself. You have all of the power to make this dream become your truth. You just have to take that first step. 

Think about what that first step is. Picture it in your mind and then see yourself starting this new journey. The Universe has your back. You have all of the support you need to move forward. You just have to make that choice, then take that step. 

New Beginning: Springing forward

If you find yourself hesitating, then use the energy of Ostara. There is always a store of energy that builds up right before something new is about to happen. You can channel that energy to focus on this new beginning you are going to start. 

There is so much support around you to help you with this new beginning. But only you can take that leap. No one else can make that move and walk that path for you. You have what you need to start, now you just have to take that first step. 

It can be hard to let go of what is familiar and known for something we have never done before. Take comfort in the fact that everything you have in your life right now was a new beginning at some point. You have channeled that energy and taken those hard steps before. Have faith in yourself that you can do it again. 

Embracing your new beginning

Once you take that first step, then you will see how everything will start to fall into place. If you show the Universe the direction you want to go, then the Universe will do everything in its power to send you the support you need. 

Now that you’ve started your journey, embrace the new beginning. You have done something that many people cannot; you took a step toward giving yourself a better life. Most people don’t have the courage to take that chance. 

You are brave beyond your knowing. You have harnessed the power and energy of Ostara, of springtime, and you are now on your way to a better reality. The positive energy from your new beginning will carry forward into not only your future, but the future of those around you. Be proud of yourself for starting your new beginning. 

Coming back to the breath

Now, with the positive energy you have created, you then start to come back to your body. Take a deep breath in, and then a long breath out. Breathe in this wonderful energy you have brought forward with you, and then breathe out any remaining doubts or fears. 

With each breath, you feel more connected back to your body. You feel yourself grounded on the Earth and also to the Universe. You send thoughts of gratitude to both for the support they have provided you to make this new beginning a reality. 

With one last breath in and then out again, you are fully back to your body. You are ready to start on this new path. And on the exhale, you then open your eyes. 

Reflection 

Take a few moments to reflect on your journey. Do you feel recharged and ready to start your new beginning? What is the first step you were shown to take? How do you feel after channeling the springtime energy?

Write down any insights or messages you have received from this meditation. Take some time to make the plans you will need to make your new beginning a reality. If you feel stuck or in need of support, then come back to this meditation any time. 

Until next time, my magickal friend, be well and choose joy. Blessed be.
