A spring practice has the characteristic of rising yang, of unfurling, sprouting, and backbending. Like a sprout rising towards the sunbeams, we can look around at personal and great nature to see that, following the winter's silence, greening expansion is happening everywhere. That sprout moves through the center of our body as the beginning of a smile, the beginning of a backbend. Cultivate formality and measurement to safely amplify that smile, the arc line of potential, the secret whisperer of spring, and open it up. By opening planes of potentiality, we can start coming out of our shells and seeing what’s out there for us.
