Month: June 2025

I understand the sun has been exploding in our general direction, blasting our planet with intense and potentially disruptive energies. While this is cyclic, and even predicted, it still messes with electronics, and communication, as well as resulting in the beautiful aurora borealis.

The recommendation for people at this time is to stay grounded. yoga, walking in nature, spending time with animals, drinking water, and eating healthy and nutritious food all will help. It also helps to not take any of the challenges that are coming your way personally right now, if not always.

Have you been having electronic snafus? Any issues with communication? Ki to Happiness stays grounded with all available tools.

Living my life yesterday, I became aware of sublime gratitude for my simple details. The cats whiskers, the juncos clicking the bird greetings, the tender flower petal wilting in their vases all brought me to the edge of tears. The feeling lingered, and engulfed my service with clients, and students, as well as neighbors and friends.

Nothing special happened. Pure joy, bliss, ecstasy arose of its own accord. Fortunately, I paused to witness and allow it to continue without interference.

Are you more familiar with exhaustion than exaltation? What rest do you need so that you can support the uprising of joy from within? Ki to Happiness, familiar with exhaustion, studies the unfamiliar exaltation that comes from enough rest and time to pause.

One of our students shared a scary story with me yesterday. I noticed it infected me with a bit of the virus of fear. In observing that, I removed myself briefly to find safety in reality.

I returned free from fear, full of safety and continued with what I was doing. I reframed her story to include her very real happy ending. I chose to focus on that instead of her delivery which triggered my initial reaction.

Where do you find safety? Can you quarantine yourself at times of fear so you don’t spread that virus? Ki to Happiness witnesses fear reactions and responds by sequestering until safe.

On Sundays, I talk to my brother. We started doing so as our parents aged and required more attention. Now that dad’s been gone for over two years, mom is doing great, so we simply catch up.

He is on top of his world, which brings me great joy. I no longer worry about him and his choices as I see he is content. Who knew that these would be the best years for us: golden memories, abundant health and plenty cats to accompany our yoga practices.

Are these your best years? With whom do you share? Ki to Happiness thanks yoga for these best years for my whole family.

 Birds are singing their welcome to the new month as they fly in and out of our fuchsia baskets. As they dart from their nests into our birdfeeders, our cats are captivated. Dawn illuminates the blessings of May, flowers freshly watered by the rain attracting the birds, enchanting the cats.

June holds the promise of Summer, usually concealed in its back pocket. Junuary will still require an overcoat, but today we will practice yoga with windows open on the new month with mild warmth. Our clean studio, safe community and dedicated practices witness the seasonal cycles and bring contentment with the dramatic unfoldment of consciousness.

What blessings did May bring to you?  How content are you with your role in the cycles and seasons? Ki to Happiness is content with each flower petal, every bird song and you, dear reader.
