Month: July 2025

As the intensity of the Full Moon subsides, all becomes clearer. As it was building, I had one issue I needed help with. I asked for Higher Guidance and was given a strong message.

I acted on the message without delay. That freed my energy to move on, out of problems and into solutions. This morning, the reward of peaceful progress reinforces my asking, receiving, and acting on that guidance.

Do you ask for the help you need? When you receive it how quickly can you act on it? Ki to Happiness asks, receives, and acts without hesitation.

Today’s full moon reflects to us how well we have stayed on our intention from two weeks ago on the moon was new. Seeing our progress deepens our commitments to stay in right relationship with this very natural cycle. Seeing areas where we continue to need further progress gives us valuable feedback for the path ahead.

This coincides with Uranus moving into Gemini. Tolerance regarding any erratic electric issues that may be influencing our ability to communicate will assist us in making good use of the feedback. It always helps to not take astronomical challenges personally as we make the most of the valuable opportunity they provide.

How much progress have you made in the last month? What continues to need further progress? Ki to Happiness stays in synch with natural cycles.

I sent Bob a text message yesterday. I’ve long ago given up on waiting for his response. After returning home and interacting with him, I checked my phone and saw that he did respond!

They say old dogs don’t learn new tricks. It’s not true. Bob is full of them lately: he set up his new wireless earbuds, worked on his E bike brakes, and sent me his first emojis as response to my text.

What tricks have you been learning lately? How can you overcome ageist/sexist/racist programming? Ki to Happiness releases false programming and embraces freedom, truth and responsibility.

I sent pictures of my cats’ improvements off to their vet yesterday. Today I’ll have pictures taken of my successfully restored smile. Both give me reason to celebrate.

I thought about clearing my schedule later in the day so that I could. As I imagined my best celebration, I decided to keep my schedule just as it is. Living the life I have chosen is the best celebration of all.

What is required for your best celebration? Can you take time to acknowledge your progress and accomplishments? Ki to Happiness celebrates with yoga practice, teaching, and serving my clients.

The Eternal Song is a documentary about indigenous peoples. Over the Earth through all times people have sung vibrations of love and healing. Despite the many efforts to silence their songs, prayers, language, and cultures, their songs continue.

Many of their songs relate to the place of their origins where they knew the plant medicines and how to be one with the natural flow. When displaced, the songs remind them of their intimacy with place, and help to heal them from multigenerational trauma. As I travel less than my nomadic years of international yoga teaching, I’m developing intimacy with this place, celebrating the subtle seasonal changes and learning birdsongs to add to my repertoire.

What are the songs of your ancestors? How intimate are you with your place on the Earth?Ki to Happiness sings grandma’s Irish songs and deepens her intimacy with this place.

Today is my day off. Working on the 4th of July and the 5th makes me appreciate the 6th as I’m free from responsibilities. It gives me a chance to “see my teacher”, which means rest into my Higher Power’s Spiritual Guidance all day long.

Resting one day each week replenishes my soul connection so I’m resourced for the week ahead. Daily practices keep me tethered to the reason for my work: Serving others from the abundance of my blessings.

Do you allow yourself enough rest? Can you give what you’d like to receive? Ki to Happiness rests into the One.

This morning, I awaken into our clean and refreshed space. After the morning class and private sessions, we worked together to free our space of all unwanted energy and manifestations. We celebrated with a special date and a quiet night.

I noticed it was a little too quiet this morning. I followed the silence into the awareness that the fireworks muted the birds. At first light, they gave the all clear chirps, indicating we are safe again now.

What are you free from this morning? How did you celebrate Independence Day? Ki to Happiness is free from fear, safe from harm and full of joy.

On this Independence Day, we honor our freedoms protected by our predecessors. Their bravery inspires us to continue to exercise our for which they fought. No need for fireworks or BBQs, we may celebrate quietly as we are free to choose healthy foods, drinks and activities.

Hatha Yoga Center will offer class at 10 am to support our community. The studio will be closed after that. Regular schedule will resume tomorrow.

How will you exercise your rights today? What are you willing to do to be responsible for the freedoms we experience in the USA? Ki to Happiness wishes you all a safe and joyous celebration.

Several efforts yesterday were thwarted by hindrances. Frustration deregulated my nervous systems as old X-rays weren’t available, air filter replacement couldn’t be found, vet didn’t respond for days, schedule changes interfered with plans and tea order got lost. Life is like this sometimes.

Getting my nervous system regulated back to the stable, balanced peacefulness of my morning practice required time outside in my garden and walking, breathing rhythmically and chanting, an additional reclined meditation in corpse position and calming music. The combination worked. In gratitude, I welcomed my students and taught them how to do the same in their own way when they are in need.

Do you know how to care for your nervous system? When life challenges it, how can you best respond? Ki to Happiness uses her tools and shares them with others.

I’ve been cultivating my awareness of sweet moments in my life. By doing so, I’m seeing how easy it is for me to access my happiness. Letting go of other activities, I’m choosing sipping tea in my garden, appreciating our cats’ peaceful togetherness, and walking in the sunshine.

This awareness builds, as some chores become pleasurable. Watering the garden, grooming the cats and even tending to my accounting all have turned into delights as they support the sweet moments. Letting my joy lead me brought me long ago to yoga practice, meditation, teaching and offering private sessions.

How easy is it for you to access your happiness? What activities bring you the sweetest moments? Ki to Happiness sniffs out joy and follows its scent to this present moment.
