For many readers, namely those in the Northern Hemisphere who don’t live in a tropical environment, this midwinter time of year can feel depressing or stagnant. It’s time to dance!

First, determine your intention. What do you wish to draw within yourself for the spring and beyond? Then decide on a selection of upbeat music you enjoy. It should have a running time of at least ten minutes. Next, find a time when you will be alone and able to let loose.

Finally, like the Lady Gaga song, just dance. No eyes, no judgment. Create your own small chant to repeat out loud and in your mind while dancing; repeat this to seal your spell.
