March’s Notes

The Perks of Green

Green. The signs and symptoms of spring. Crocus’. Buds. Flip Flops and Tank Tops. Reminders of new beginnings, new starts, and perhaps, hope. Green. Also means awareness to our environment. To make less harmful (which we love). Green is associated with luck, money, refreshing, tranquil, freshness, growth, prosperity, and health.

For March, we focused on green and how it relates to revitalization and the eternal cycles of life and renewal.

We hope you find a titch of green-goodness in your life.

We hope you look for the small new beginnings and, despite the world, you find hopeful spaces that contain you.

The Movement

Good Mornings

The Movement: Good Mornings (modified)

  1. Stand with feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent
  2. Slowly roll your body towards the ground, vertebrae by vertebrae, beginning with you neck, tucking your chin in first.
  3. Once you reach as far as you can towards the floor, hold the position for 30 seconds.
  4. Slowly return to upright. NOTE: You can also do this movement in a seated position. Set your legs wider than shoulder width and allow your body to roll forward, resting your chest on your thighs (if possible). Hold at the bottom of the movement for 30 seconds and then slowly return to upright.

  2. Make another short list of sounds further from you.
  3. Now further.
  4. Now list what you do not hear.
  5. Note how your body, the day, the world might greet you with sound and write about it.
