Month: October 2025

Last night‘s game had us up late and on the edge of our seats. Our local team’s victory means we can progress farther than we ever have toward the World Series. Baseball season is not over for us yet.

Hatha Yoga represents a middle path-not indulging in bright victory or dark pain, but choosing to witness both. I remained calm at the fulcrum of my practice while observing the myriad of emotions swelling and subsiding with each inning. Smiling from the fulcrum, I look forward to the next games as we advance.

Can you remain at the fulcrum while emotions rise and fall? What helps you stay balanced through winning and loosing? Ki to Happiness wins peace by loosing identification with outcomes.

Before our afternoon walk, I was sitting with one of our cats in the sunlight pouring in through our glass door. Suddenly, an unknown man approached and put a sticker on our door. I was clearly visible through the door, which I then opened to inquire as to his purpose as he proceeded toward our other door to place another sticker before departing in his illegally parked car.

My Guidance and intuition led me to immediately remove the stickers. tell my husband, and look for other similar stickers in our neighborhood as we walked. Finding none, I remembered having heard about such a scam, so I posted a warning to our neighborhood Facebook group. The practice of hatha yoga opens us up to such Guidance as we learn to listen to our gut, intuiting falsehood.

How keen are your Spidey senses? Do you listen to your gut? Ki to Happiness trusts her gut.

As I’ve been planning my next trip to visit my mom, I scheduled it at a time when I could also see my long time friends for our upcoming significant birthday. I secured class coverage, booked my flight, and reserved a rental car. I found some sweet gifts to send in advance but hesitated to ship them.

I learned yesterday that one of the friends may not be able to make it at all due to back surgery. Then I found out that one of my teachers may not be able to cover classes either. Plans change, which validates my hesitation.

Do you honor your hesitation? When plans change, do you? Ki to Happiness plans to listen to Guidance from within.

Excitement continues to build here in Seattle as our local baseball team is going farther than ever. Despite the rain delay and late game rally by the opposing team, the Mariners won. With one more win perhaps today, they advance toward the World Series.

At the Hatha Yoga Center, our Ayurvedic Breathwork offering also won. Students near and far experienced the victory of breathing consciously with Dr. Anup’s traditional approach to pranayama. Further advancement in this way is available daily in regular classes, as well as in his next workshop this winter.

How victorious have you been feeling? Can you give yourself 90 seconds of free and deep breathing to champion whatever holds you back? Ki to Happiness wins freedom and heath with Hatha Yoga.

Today’s full moon in Aries brings to light assertive energies that have been building. Aries wants to take action in the direction of what has been revealed since the eclipse pattern a couple weeks ago. The upcoming opposition between Mars and Pluto is simmering toward transformation.

It’s best to not let the simmering boil over. Checking those issues that have been coming to a head and taking action now before October 25 is advised. By doing so we are empowered by this full moon, with further transformation to look forward to in the direction of greater consciousness.

How have you been sleeping in these energies? What action is wanting to be taken in the direction of transformation? Ki to Happiness shares the empowerment of astrological material to benefit all.

On Sundays, I speak with my only brother. Primarily we check in about how Mom’s doing and if there’s any need for us to change our plans to assist her. We also catch up with the news of our week of work, play and cats.

We had reason to chat on FaceTime video yesterday, which gave me a chance to see his 2 cats. I sit outside for our conversations to respect Bob’s need for privacy as he prepares for his classes so I could only send pictures of our three indoor cats. These 5 cats bring us such joy as well as periodic concern, it’s a pleasure to share this intimacy with him.

How do you relate to your family of origin? What intimacies do you share? Ki to Happiness checks in regularly, adapts to changes and shares the details of 5 cats.

When I notice myself getting irritated or annoyed, I back off the issue. I pause and consider what little changes I can make in myself. This results in progress for my nervous system, if nothing else.

Long ago, I left the ashram and its creature comforts. I consciously chose to participate in the scary, beautiful, unkept world to offer my self and serve as I’m able. I remind myself of my choice and take responsibility as I move our signage away from the beggars, reorganize the pantry, upgrade the compost bin, changing what I can.

What little changes could you make in your world? Are you willing to take responsibility for your choices? Ki to Happiness “chops wood and carries water”, taking responsibility and making the little changes that matter.

I had sessions yesterday with both my chiropractor and Ayurvedic physician. I rested well, integrating the treatments for soul, mind and body. I awaken feeling whole and holy.

These two agents of healing have seen me through a host of issues. Their help attends to my needs with counsel for dietary, relational, and physical shifts all of which bring me to this morning’s integrity. My healthy body contains my sound mind as my spiritual practices align me with the interconnected web of life.

Who attends to your needs? What do they counsel? Ki to Happiness thanks all Helpers who attend and counsel soul, mind and body.

 After working yesterday morning, we had our smoothies and rested. Getting up, we set out for our walk in the beauty of mild temperatures and early fall. Returning, I felt a sudden energy drop.

I could have pushed through it with tea, food or activities. Instead I took it as a first sign that I needed to heed and laid back down. 20 minutes later, my Guidance said that’s enough, get up and proceed with renewed energy.

Do you notice your energy guiding you? How promptly can you respond? Ki to Happiness listens to Guidance and responds at first sign.



On 10/25/25, the planet Mars is directly opposite Pluto astronomically. This brings astrological warnings for the boiling point of transformation it signifies. Those sensitive to these energies may feel the heat already.

The government shut down coincides with this phenomenon. Action seeking Mars is heading directly away from the transformation Pluto represents, as it reveals hidden unconscious issues. This information may empower us to transform before the boiling point is reached through self governance.

Are you willing to self govern? What transformation is necessary for you to avoid a personal shutdown? Ki to Happiness heeds the warning and transforms as an act of Higher Self governance.
