Practice with the season.
Life changes with the season. Practice can change with it. Four small collections, and whichever one the year is in right now.
The body wakes up. Energy returns, and it is tempting to do everything at once. Begin again gradually.
Take ten quiet minutes outside when the light and weather make room for it.
Let a little movement back in without turning it into a workout.
Use balance and footwork to wake up attention.
Clear one small thing before adding something new.
The days are long and the body wants to be outside. Heat asks for a lighter practice, earlier or later than the middle of the day.
Move before the hottest part of the day.
Take ten minutes outside while the light is still generous.
Choose less effort when the day has already asked enough.
Use what is already there and let the meal stay uncomplicated.
The light shortens and the body starts to gather itself. A good season to build a steadier rhythm before winter.
Use the cooler air for a walk or a few quiet minutes outside.
Let the last part of the day get quieter as the light goes earlier.
Look at what is already in the kitchen before bringing more home.
Return to simple movement when the day asks for less.
The quietest season. The body wants less, not more. Rest well and practice gently.
Start with a few minutes of movement before asking for more.
Let the evening get simpler before sleep.
Cook one warm thing from what is already on hand.
When going outside feels like work, keep the practice close.
