March 2021 Blog Theme is Expansiveness

Expansiveness by Gerd Altman
We are already 9 weeks into the year of 2021 and almost exactly one year (in NY) since the Pandemic lockdown. Understandably there is an increased sense of restlessness. Navigating the line between breaking out of our cocoons and springing into action and remaining aware of the ongoing risks will be with us as we move into March.
There is a push/pull feeling going on. This energy can be harnessed for inspiration. Instead of embracing fear and uncertainty use this push/pull to embrace creativity and gratitude. Gratitude always moves us into a place of being present where we can explore our positive options in any situation.
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. -Albert Einstein”
Our expansion can be on many different levels and we have literally thousands of opportunities to grow and expand as a human on this planet. First we must determine what is it we want to expand the most? Our Love? Our awareness? Our Energy? Our Peace? How can we continue to connect with that idea into March?
Nature is a wonderful guide to assist us. March is the month of true transition with spring arriving, snow melting, grass growing, trees just beginning to bud. Just under the surface tiny little seeds are about the burst forth.
Spring officially arrives with the vernal equinox on Saturday, March 20, at 5:37 a.m. EDT. We “Spring Forward” with Daylight Savings time at 2:00 AM on March 14. After what has been a long winter experience, spring will surely be a welcome sign.
One Year Later
I went back to my blog of March 2020 to look one year ago and found an interesting paragraph which I wrote before we were actually aware of COVID-19 and the looming lockdowns coming. It certainly is timely to re-read one year later.
From March 2020: Trying times are in invitation to ask yourself - who are you when you are no longer controlled by fear, lack, or anxiety? If you allow yourself to listen you will hear your own voice and that of Source guiding you. There is real emphasis on how we waste our time and how easily we can be distracted from what really matters. March is energetically inviting us to ask probing questions like what would my life look like if I were free from fear, lack, and anxiety or self-sabotage. These questions are very resonant one year later.
March brings the energy of the number 3 – it is the 3rd month. The Number 3 is highly expressive. It encourages us to express our truth, speak up, and communicate our needs and desires to ourselves, others, and the world. The number 3 represents the sum of who we are- a mind, body, and spirit. It represents the harmony and balance that is achieved when we are in alignment. Staying balanced and paying attention to the messages of your mind, body, and soul is going to be important around this time.
Finally we end the month of March with a Full Moon on Sunday March 28. The following excerpt it taken from the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
This year, because it is the first full Moon to occur after the spring equinox on March 20, March’s full Moon is the Paschal Full Moon. This means that its date determines the date of Easter (April 4, 2021)
WHY IS IT CALLED THE WORM MOON?
The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. March’s full Moon goes by the name Worm Moon, which was originally thought to refer to the earthworms that appear as the soil warms in spring. This invites robins and other birds to feed—a true sign of spring!
