Inspired by Lao Tzu

The Heart of Spring, a standing form with fourteen movements and associated contemplations, reflects the harmony found in nature. Through the practice, the practitioner can return to a natural state of ease, harmony, and balance.

This practice moves with qi. Breathing should be natural. Go into a space of emptiness. Enter int nothing. In your heart and in your mind everything is perfect. No good. No bad. No happy. No worry. Go back to your natural state. Then you can begin this practice.

Excerpt from a contemplation for The Heart of Spring

As you open your body to the universe, as you open your heart to the qi and to love, feel yourself expanding, giving love, receiving love.

The universe offers you unconditional love. You are in the universe and the universe is in you.

As the qi pours into your body, love enters your entire being. Consciously welcome love with your whole heart and mind.
