Month: March 2026

Through all the yogic tools and techniques I’ve learned over the many years, I still begin with the basics. Balanced breathing helps me stay balanced throughout my days, come what may. It’s easy, in formal seated practice, and also good no matter where we are.

I inhale through both nostrils for 10 heartbeats and exhale for the same length of time. I add to that several specific intentions, but what matters is simply timing the breath with the heartbeats. Staying balanced, we are more likely to respond to our world instead of being reactive.

What helps you find balance? When balanced, how would you like to respond to your circumstances? Ki to Happiness finds balance with the breath so to be able to respond with peace to all people, situations, and circumstances.

Sorry, but just had to blog that old cliche. It rained here all day until just before evening classes. As the sun broke, it shined on our deck which invited the hungry stray cats back to have some food.

Students arrived and brought their dogs, which scooted the cats away until later. New attendees and regulars appreciated the menagerie. We made sure to do both cat and dog postures, honoring the ferrel and domesticated parts of ourselves.

How domesticated are you? What part of yourself is still a bit wild? Ki to Happiness loves all creatures, great and small, wild and tame.

Our cats are doing well with the 4 legged visitors who arrive on our deck. Tending to one stray cat has resulted in several others coming by on a daily basis. The indoor and outdoor cats meet one another through our glass door and interact safely.

One of our students noticed that behavior and commented that they are communicating in the quantum field. Without ever touching, their eyes communicate, and their movements demonstrate that they are all getting more comfortable with the situation. Humans could learn a lot from observing such behavior, not feeling threatened over sharing resources, free from boundary disputes.

Where have you witnessed communication in the quantum field? Could you resolve boundary issues as you are aware of your abundance of resources? Ki to Happiness has plenty to offer from the safety of healthy boundaries within the benevolent quantum field.

The clouds obscured the lunar display this morning. Even so, my ritual included me in its magic. Cleaning off our deck, cutting browned fronds from our ferns, releasing the water, stone and candlelight from my altar materialize the release and invite renewal.

This full moon eclipse occurred in the sign of Virgo. Utilizing its energy, we are able to invite refinement into our daily habits. Staying current with guidance, all that we release offers a space to reset body-mind-spirit integration.

What cycle can you release today? What habits would benefit from renewal? Ki to Happiness releases fear and welcomes safety.

Overnight tonight, at 3:33 AM, we will experience the full moon and its lunar eclipse. I share this with you in advance, in case like me, you’d like to get up and see the spectacle. Weather permitting, we may see something quite rare.

Whether we see it or not, some of us will feel it. All of us are affected by it whether we know it or not. I choose to participate in it as consciously as possible, so it does not get the best of me.

How has this eclipse pattern been treating you? What unusual material has been stirred up for you in the past two weeks? Ki to Happiness is empowered by knowing the potential challenges astrological and astronomical phenomena may present.

As the moon grows towards fullness and it’s eclipse, we welcome March. The cats and I feel it with early awakening. Making use of this energy gives us a chance to surrender to the forces that influence us all.

Serenity grows as we learn to accept the things we cannot change, like the moon and her rhythms. Courageously changing ourselves, instead of reacting to forces beyond our control, we may be able to respond consciously. In doing so we grow wiser.

What is this eclipse pattern bringing up in you? How can you use it to grow wiser? Ki to Happiness surrenders to the process of serenity.
