Welcome.
Allow the body to arrive fully,
Supported by the surface beneath you.
Let the spine rise gently,
Like something remembering how to grow toward light.
Spring is not a date on the calendar.
It is a quiet initiation,
A moment when the unseen decides to move.
Take a slow breath in through the nose,
And a long exhale through the mouth.
Bring awareness to where your body meets the earth.
Feel the ancient steadiness beneath you.
Imagine cool,
Dark soil,
Still,
Patient,
Alive with potential.
Inhale,
Letting breath travel down the spine into the ground.
Exhale,
Sensing the earth breathe back into you.
Silently repeat,
I am supported as I begin again.
Let the breath become ceremonial.
Inhale,
2,
3,
4,
Pause.
Exhale,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6.
Again,
Inhale,
2,
3,
4.
Pause gently,
And exhale,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6.
Again,
Inhale,
Pause,
And exhale.
Continue on your own for 3 more rounds.
Inhaling for 4,
Pausing gently for 2,
And exhaling for 6,
Slow and unforced.
With each inhale,
Invite freshness.
With each exhale,
Release what has completed its season.
Allow the breath to settle naturally.
Now visualize an inner landscape that is rested through winter,
Perhaps a field,
A forest floor,
Or a garden bed.
Beneath the surface,
Energy rises.
Roots stretch.
Energy stirs,
Shoots,
Spring up toward warmth.
You do not force this,
You simply witness it.
Now feel your own energy gently ascending from pelvis to heart,
To throat,
To crown.
Ask softly,
Without words,
Who am I becoming this spring?
Do not look for answers.
Let them arrive as sensation,
Image,
Or emotion.
Silently repeat,
I trust what is unfolding.
Release all effort.
Rest in open awareness.
Breath breathes itself.
Energy circulates without instruction.
If the mind wanders,
Gently return to the subtle hum of aliveness in the body.
Begin to sense the space around you,
The air,
The sounds.
The subtle return to form.
Place one hand on the heart,
One on the belly.
Feel your breath moving between them.
Spring does not rush itself,
And neither must you.
When ready,
Deepen the breath.
Gently open
