Spring is an energy before it's a season. One of the most direct ways to access that energy is through your breath.
This breathwork practice is designed to help you feel the awakening energy of spring in your body.
You can use this practice as part of a Spring Equinox ceremony, morning practice, or simply a way to reconnect to yourself after winter.
Spring is an energy before it's a season. One of the most direct ways to access that energy is through your breath.
After months of winter's heavy stillness, our bodies can become disconnected from our own aliveness.
Breathwork is a powerful somatic tool that moves stagnant energy and reinvigorates energy in your body. In that, breathwork actively shifts the state of your nervous system. It can move you from frozen to fluid or from contracted to open, even in just a few minutes.
Spring energy is curious, light, expansive, and awakening. This practice is designed to help you connect to and experience that energy in your body.
Find a comfortable space where you can be undisturbed for 10-15 minutes. You can lie down or sit.
Read through the practice once before beginning, or simply move through it slowly, pausing where needed.
Step 1: Arrive
Begin by noticing your breath as it is right now. Where does your breath live in your body? Is it shallow or full? Tight or easy? Notice these details, without changing anything.
Step 2: Ground
Bring your awareness down to your sit bones — the point of contact between your body and whatever surface you're sitting or lying on. Begin to visualize roots growing from your sit bones all the way down through the floor into the very core of the planet.
Feel into the energy held in the Earth’s core. Maybe it's a fiery energy. Maybe it’s a warm, swirling energy.
Step 3: Earth Breath
On your next inhale, breathe that core energy up the back of your body — like drawing up a warm, golden energy through your spine. On your exhale, let the energy cascade down the front of your body, softening everything it touches.
Stay with this breath for several cycles. With each exhale, allow your body to soften just 1% more.
Step 4: Connected Breath
When you feel ready, you’ll begin a connected breath - an open-mouth belly breath with no pause between the inhale and exhale.
This style of breathing can be activating. You may feel tingling, warmth, or a gentle buzzing sensation in your body. This experience is normal. If you do become overwhelmed by the sensation, you can slow the breath down or return to a normal breath for a few moments.
Step 5: The Golden Ball
As you settle into the connected breath, bring your attention to your belly. Begin to imagine or feel a golden ball of light forming. A golden ball of light like the core of the earth. Warm, bright, buzzing with potential.
Feel into the quality of this ball of light — expansive like budding flowers or warm like morning light.
Step 6: Let It Rise
With each breath, feel that golden ball begin to rise slowly through your body. As this ball up through your whole body, feel your body awakening.
If your body wants to move, let it. Rock, sway, roll your shoulders, lift your arms. Follow whatever impulse arises.
Step 7: Rest & Receive
When you feel complete, let the connected breath go. Return to your natural breath and come into stillness.
Take a moment to notice: How does your body feel now compared to when you began? Maybe there's more aliveness humming through you. Maybe you feel more grounded or fuller.
This was spring awakening in your body.
This energy has always been available to you, even through the heaviness and quiet of winter. It never left. It was simply waiting for the right moment to blossom.
