Spring Awakens, Seasonal Change to Integrate the Elements.

March 18th, 2024

Hello Monday friend,

Calendar says tomorrow is the first day of spring. This shows up different for different folks. I remember growing up and being like, what spring? Snow in May… And- I can’t help but feel the potency that my region’s sunlight and warmth has made in my spheres across these last few days. There’s more openness to connect in community. While the air is brisk, agile nature and warmth seem to invite a bit less guarding, more curiosity. Aliveness and possibility to engage seems to be returning.

In transitions, and with deep respect we can also invite space to honor that what is external, popular, desired, or another’s experience may not true for you presently. All is welcome here.

Might you sense with the above words how that lives in your body? Is there a feeling of anticipation or eagerness, relief or longing to hold on? Tenderness? Enthusiasm? Hope? What I’ve come to learn and love is that all of these expressions are right, true. And that yoga offers us the stable knowing that what is more true. More true is the constancy and love that is within, that connects us all, this abiding self, that can witness the volatile river or the dynamic weather of the sky and allow it to move through. Like the wisdom of the breath- might we take it in fully and allow it to go without holding on too long.

Nature continues to inspire.

We are coming toward the close of the western astrological year, and not only does spring fever seem to be ushering folks to rise from hibernation, but also the opportunity for channeling the empathetic waters of Pisces energy. When I consider what an integration of the elements of this season might look like, I experience it as a lightness to meet the fluidity of each moment as it arises with an expansive heart. A soft inward ember available to spark. There is an innate and unconscious understanding of stability from earth. Trust to support this experience. And fluid empathic engagement with non-attachment. Where the waters of moments enter, are experienced and then pass. Allowing movement of experience to pass with just as much ease as it entered. A trust from the residual ripples. All met with the invitation to breathe a bit more fully, to expand the heart.
