April Flowering Buds
TIP OF THE MONTH
April is here, all variations of buds are flowering. The buds on the trees are metamorphosing into leaves, and the flower buds are. . .well. . .flowering! The frigid wave month last month delayed some of the flowering. . .but are now again in full motion of budding out!
Spring is that special time for me where we get to witness transformational metamorphosis. So much happening inside those cone shaped buds. They may look dormant, however, lots of pure magic is happening inside. And ahem, I’m not just a talking about these buds. . .am I?
Noooo, the bud is after all the perfect metaphor for what is budding inside each of us. We also bloom seeds of insight and ideas that have been brewing inside. This season, I personally get the feeling that there is more time. More time to let ideas bloom! Perhaps it helps that the hours of daylight are longer too!
Check out the exercise tip this month. . .it’s about witnessing a physical bud into bloom. This is quite miraculous to witness.
As a reminder, when you are in Amsterdam, join in on the monthly workshops. These are a great way to block time amongst a busy schedule for yourself! Contact me for more info: www.daniellarubinovitz.com

OUR TIP THIS MONTH:
My tip this month is to follow the transformation of a bud into a leaf or flower . . .
- Set up a live branch or flower that is budding. . .
- Each day observe it and draw it, 5 -10 minutes (or all day) . . .
- What do you notice about this transformation . . . how does this relate to your own project or idea that has been budding out?
- Post your drawings and findings on https://www.facebook.com/DaniellaRubinovitz/ . . .
