Month: June 2020

I am about to get on an airplane. I have done so many times. And yet I’m aware this will be very different. looking forward to our family reunion.

Masks, social distancing, and limited available creature comforts are expected. Unexpected other issues easily may arise. My solution, is to fly as light as possible, and do so grateful for the opportunity. This trip had been scheduled for the day our State began sequestration, nearly 3 months ago.

Have you traveled in this social environment?Are you happy traveler? Ki to Happiness invokes the travel Saints- archangel Raphael, Saint Christopher, and Saint Anthony, to open the way…

Continuing with our “safe start” program, we have a fresh week ahead. My county has entered into phase 1.5 of re-opening. With it, the frame shop and the retail costume shop re-opened on my block. Soon, Hatha Yoga Center will offer outdoor classes to groups of 5 or less students.

I went in to the tea shop. It has been open for takeout. It’s been my one source of the loose tea that I prefer. During this three month hiatus, I’ve been in several times as the only customer. Others entered while I was there! Amazing! Seattle is notorious for many things, including its “chill” vibe. Wonderful to have that warmed up a bit, with friendliness all around.

What are you seeing with fresh eyes? How can you best make use of your safe start? Ki to Happiness sees people, all finding their way.

In our “safe start” program, this is the last Sunday of sequestration. Joyous seeing barbershops and hair salons open. Protestors paraded by with signs, chanting. No violence or destruction.

We begin making plans to offer Phase 1.5 outdoor yoga classes. Efforts continue to be made to improve our Wi-Fi. Our method of instructing will forever be changed. Happily including the remote participants, I also, enjoy private work at a distance.

What “forever changes”are you experiencing? And what remains the same?Ki to Happiness lets go in to the awareness that the only constant is change.

As the full moon continues bestowing upon us the reflection of how we have utilized the energies in the last couple of weeks, it is a perfect time for making offerings. Scent and light draw and feed benevolent entities. Lighting a candle and some incense, write down your particular needs, offering all to those Helpers of the angelic, and spiritual realm.

Commune a while with Them, in gratitude for their presence in your life. Envision your needs being met fully! And go about your day as if it has already occurred. Take action supporting your new reality.

What are your needs? How will you feel when those needs are met? Ki to Happiness needs you to know how delightful it feels to live life as an offering.

This afternoon, the moon will be full and there will be a lunar eclipse. The intentions that we set forth two weeks ago when the moon was dark are now coming to fruition. This eclipse pattern enables greater manifestation of truest intentions.

Two weeks ago I set my intentions for a successful conclusion of “staying home and staying healthy”. That has occurred! As we have shifted into “safe start”, all is ready for reopening when the time is right.

How conscious were you of setting intentions two weeks ago? What does the light of the full Moon reveal to you about your ability to maintain your intention? Ki to Happiness manifests peaceful progress, as intended.

Yesterday, our mayor met with the spokesperson regarding the race riots. Instead of Billy clubs and mustard spray they used talking and listening. Like a large balloon filled nearly to bursting, there’s nearly an audible release of tension, now that the air has been let out.

Simultaneously, I am witnessing others stopping midstride. Changing direction. And heading towards peace. This reminds me of a poem from Hafiz, which I will share at the end of this blog.

What progress do you see in the outer realms?What progress are you seeing more inwardly? Ki to Happiness sees the inner reflected in the outer, mirrored back to the inner for further refinement.

I Have Come Into This World to See This

I have come into this world to see this: the sword drop from men’s hands even at the height of their arc of anger because we have finally realized there’s just one flesh to wound and it is His– the Christ’s, our Beloved’s.

I have come into this world to see this: all creatures hold hands as we pass through this miraculous existence we share on the way to even a greater being of soul, a being of just ecstatic light, forever entwined and at play with Him.

I have come into this world to hear this: every song the earth has sung since it was conceived in the Divine‘s womb and began spinning from His wish, every song by wing and fin and hoof, every song by hill and field and tree and woman and child, every song of stream and rock, every song of tool and lyre and flute, every song of gold and fire, every song the heart should cry with magnificent dignity to know itself as God;

For all other knowledge will leave us again for want and aching-only imbibing the glorious Sun will complete us.

I have come into the world to experience this: men so true to love they would rather die before speaking an unkind word, men so true their lives are His covenant- the promise of hope.

I have come into this world to see this: the sword drop from men’s hands even at the height of their arc of rage because we have finally realized there is just one flesh we can wound.

In our “safe start” program here in the state of Washington, today I will be resuming one normal activity. I will drive. And receive chiropractic assistance. For the first time in almost 3 months. I’m sure I will get an eye full.

As I drive through our city, which is mostly boarded up, I will see that spring has sprung while I have stayed sequestered. And behind the masks in the cars and on the streets, I will see other people who have gone through this also.

What are you resuming? How does what was once familiar look to you now? Ki to Happiness starts safe and stays safe.

In the Pacific Northwest, the month of June is often referred to as Junuary. Cloudy, dark, wet, and windy, we bundle up. With clothing layered, if there’s a sun break, we might disrobe a bit. Only to cover up again when the sun break has passed.

Our new program of “safe start” feels like a brief Sun break. The political climate here is absolutely dark, wet and windy. Protests and opinions about protests like rain, drop on our city, requiring another layer.

What practices will best help you in this climate? How can you best layer your practices to assist you “in all kinds of weather“? Ki to Happiness covers up with layers of asana, pranayama, meditation, prayers.

The state of Washington has shifted into its new program.“Safe start” now allows most counties to resume business once many requirements are met. This, however, coincides with my city being on curfew, due to the demonstrations downtown. The contrast is very clear.

We are seeing that the external world and its rules, orders, mandates and guidelines are constantly changing and shifting. The good news about that is that we are learning to look within. As we follow guidance from within our Higher Self, we will be led safely toward peace.

What guidance do you receive within? How can you peacefully and safely conduct yourself? Ki to Happiness observes the old adage “ Safety First”.
