Yes, I know what you think of me. You never shut up, never shut up, never shut up, never shut up, never shut up. And I found out where my edge is, and it bleeds into where you resist. Welcome to Never Shut Up.
I'm your host, Rose Crass. Today is April 30th, 2026, and we are here to play and feel Spring Haze. This, oh, I love this song so much, and I have really loved it and had a strong connection with it since I first heard it in 1999. Yes, I'm that old to remember the release of To Venus and Back, and my relationship has grown stronger over time with this song.
It's very much a song about loss and coming to an awareness of reality of the way things are, of waking up. The image I've always had in my mind is waking up out of a dream to what's really going on. And that line, and I found out where my edge is, and it bleeds into where you resist. I love that line.
It speaks volumes about setting boundaries in relationships, but that's not the energy we're going to go with. Instead, the energy of Spring Haze is very fluid and flowing, and it invites us to flow. I'm speaking most specifically about how the piano flows in this, especially live versions, where it's almost like water flowing. And that water flowing, yes, you can set a boundary against water, but water always makes its way through.
And not in an obtrusive way, but water flows. Water goes. Water goes where it wants to go, and ultimately, it has its way. Erosion.
It just slowly moves through. So, this is actually not a yoga practice, but I'm going to put it in a yoga pose. This comes from Qigong. I've been doing this practice with a person who was a student of mine during yoga teacher training, and now is a yoga teacher, and I think is so creative.
You can find them on social media, on Instagram, Grow With The Fro. Their name is Charlotte. So, we're going to come to standing for this practice. We're going to get in touch with the water element.
So, taking your feet wider apart than your hips, turn your toes out, and we're exhaling and releasing into our Kalyasana squat, our goddess squat. So, it's not an intense squat, but it is a squat of sorts. And then, you're going to take your hands over to your left, take an inhale, and then exhale. And then, with your hands, you're going to move them from about hip level up to about chest level.
Palms are facing down. And inhale. As you move the arms across the body to the right, exhale, the hands move down to about hip level, and exhale, the hands across. So, we're inhaling hands up, exhaling across to the right, inhale the fingers down, exhale across to the left.
So, as the inhale and the hands come up, this is evaporation. As we exhale and the arms go across, it's like the clouds moving through the sky. We inhale, the fingers come down, it's like rain, and with the exhale, as the hands go across, it's like water flowing to the sea. Inhale here, and then exhale, move the hands to the right.
Inhale, bring the hands up to chest level. Exhale, move the hands across the body to the left. Inhale, raining down. Exhale, move the hands across to the right.
Inhale, evaporating up. Exhale, move the hands across to the left. Inhale, raining down. Exhale, moving the hands across to the right.
You can, of course, do this longer than how I let you, as we connect with that water element so that we can flow more easily. And with that, I thank you for joining me and Dori for a little mental yoga today. Remember, five minutes a day is so much better than 60 minutes once a week. Thank you for joining me.
Love you. Bye. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Yes, I know what you think of me. You never shut up.
