3.14.11

Here's the theme to my classes this week. 


It's time to open yourself up. In this last week of winter, clear out the cobwebs, the cold weather laze, the piles of stuff and corners of clutter. 


Sort of like a pre-spring cleaning...but for your soul. 


At every point you can this week (ie, when you remember) sit tall. Roll your shoulders up to your ears and then down your back. Take an enormous breath in, and exhale the winter laze out. Feel the chest open up and point toward the sky. Take another breath in--this time with good, soul-filling energy. Breathe in the sun, brightness, the grass that's turning greener every day, and the daffodil buds. Exhale and let go of the weight of cold days and heavy clothes, gray skies and that perma-butt print in your couch. Start to lift the roots, break earth, and breathe again. 


Smell that? That's the success of clearing winter out of your soul, and making room for the longer and lighter days ahead.
