Emotional Focus: Joy
Physical Setting: Choose a place where you can observe the sky and feel the wind. If possible, position yourself where you can see both shadows and light playing across the land. Stand or sit where you can feel the earth's awakening energy. If indoors, place yourself near a window where you can see the moving clouds or dancing leaves.
