After that amazing lunar display of the eclipse, the energy is starting to diminish. Now in its waning phase, the moon’s light dims and our subconscious material quiets. The sky has opened up and rained its mysteries on the Earth.

In the aftermath, we are left to reflect, re-organize, and re-create. Our attention is free to focus back on the Earth now. Let’s make use of all we’ve gleaned.

Can you feel the energies subduing? What do you need to re-organize or re-create? Ki to Happiness feels Grace raining down upon us in the waning moon.

We are entering into the full moon eclipse in Scorpio. Those of us who are sensitive have been feeling the intense destabilizing energies for days. It wants to dig deeply into hidden material and bring it to Light.

As this Light shines into our depth, evolution is possible. The energy required to hold on is freed for repurposing. New beginnings open up.

How have you been navigating these unstable energies? Can you open up to the new beginning? Ki to Happiness stabilizes with Hatha Yoga.

I look around my world with new eyes. Having passed through the great challenge of this last week, I am dripping with gratitude for every little thing. May everything be just as it is.

I am reminded of one of the great Sufi poets. After assessing his life he looks around and says “what a bargain, I think I’ll buy it.” Anytime I vibe with the old sacred voices I know I’m on the right vibration.

How does your life look to you after your most recent challenges? Are you dripping with gratitude? Ki to Happiness is saying Thank You to All that Is.

On Friday the 13th there’s a special power available. If we can overcome fear and superstition of our feminine nature, we can harness that power for the good. Receptivity and openness are required.

I open myself to this power every day. In doing so, I feel today is another day to step back and receive guidance. I open to my Higher Power.

Are you comfortable with Friday the 13th? Can you embrace the feminine within? Ki to Happiness opens to Guidance and Grace.

Working away with my practices in the dark, I heard a bird announcing first light. The joy in the bird song drew me up and out of myself. I looked out the window and saw heavy gray somber clouds, slightly illuminated by dawn.

A new day is upon us. It is to be welcomed, says the Winged Ones. With joy and sound and anticipation, I open up to this day.

How do you greet first light? Can you open up to the potential in this day? Ki to Happiness has been reminded to sing.

A Course in Miracles helps us recognize that giving and receiving are one. Like you, dear reader, I am a big giver. It’s taken a lifetime to become comfortable on the receiving end.

Most recently, my capacity to open has been overwhelmed with support, prayers and the specific help our circumstances require. I am growing ever more grateful. Now I’m giving that loving gratitude to you.

Can you open up to receive my gratitude? Will it help you to know that you can turn around and give that gratitude to someone else? Ki to Happiness thanks you all for your eyes reading these words.

As a post- Mother’s Day ritual I repotted a few little plants to brighten HYC. I taught my morning class and after a brief rest shifted into editing my manuscript. As I entered into conducting a private session before demonstrating for Bob‘s evening class, I overheard him having a disturbance on the phone.

He shared the trouble with me as we mobilized for assistance from our community. Having done all we could do, after his evening class, it was time to pray. Together, we called all our angels, saints, guides and guardians.

Who do you call on? What do you do to find your center when threatened? Ki to Happiness calls on you, and all Helper Beings as she grounds herself with yoga.

Reflecting on the weekend, you may have had all your expectations met. If not, you may be experiencing disappointment. Seems like all the different holidays have this in common.

When every day is a holiday, we may remove expectations and celebrate what Is. In this way, we save ourselves from disappointments. Accepting life on life‘s terms makes every day holy.

How was your holiday weekend? Can you still enjoy it today? Ki to Happiness accepts life as it is, free from expectations and disappointments.

Someone took care of me before I did. That’s how I learned to care for myself. I’ve evolved my methods of self care over my the span of my life based on the start.

I’ve taken care of others before they were able. I hear from them that they have continued, and evolved their methods along the way. Happy Mother’s Day to all who care for others and allow room for that care to evolve.

Who took care of you before you learned how to? How can you best honor that selfless service? Ki to Happiness thanks her mom and the Divine Mother within all who care enough to serve selflessly.

I’ve learned from my writing coach that the average number of revisions required for publication of a manuscript is seven. That encourages me as I hunt weasel words for editing in this 4th revision. They are extraneous words that soften the verbs towards passivity.

Women’s writing once was its own genre, which encouraged the use of the passive voice, as well as passive participation in our society. One by one, I am activating this woman’s writing as I pump up my verbs into muscular action. Here’s to becoming a more active participant in society, one word at a time.

Were you taught to soften your word choice? Can you give voice to your truth? Ki to Happiness speaks up.
