As this moon becomes full, it does so in the sign of Libra which represents justice. May justice bring balance to our world. Balance is beautiful.

As we observe this being played out on the global and national stages, we may reflect on our own personal material. Using the energies of this moon, we can correct injustices and imbalances brought to light. Doing so with the guiding principle of beauty, we make our word a lovelier place to live.,

What imbalances does light of this full moon bring to your attention? How can you best serve the need for justice in your life? Ki to Happiness handles imbalances and injustices beautifully.

As we practice Hatha Yoga, we open our energy field to our essential nature. Asana, pranayama and meditation help us heal from past trauma stored in our bodies and we start to find love, joy, happiness within. This love is for the giving.

This process in no way ensures that we will be getting anyone else to understand, participate or reciprocate. Accepting this reality, we may use the information we gain through the process to establish healthy boundaries. This includes taking responsibility for our choosing right timing and right proximity to all others and their circumstances.

Who do you need to forgive while you never forget? What right timing and right proximity could help? Ki to Happiness chooses responsibly to forgive all and reMember.

From yesterday’s Palm Sunday, we enter Easter week. Although the timeline may have been adjusted to fit the point of the biblical story, we learn that from one Sunday to the next, changes can occur which effect thousands of years to come. From the triumphant homecoming to betrayal, crucifixion and resurrection, we remember the story of one Son of God’s journey.

The story offers a map for other children of God on our heroic journeys through life. The overarching message is that beyond triumph, betrayal and death, energy resurrects. This lights the path for our journey through the darkness, ever onward.

What map do you use? How have you navigated through your triumphs and betrayals? Ki to Happiness resurrects daily, aligning with energy beyond apparent success and failure.

Each day after my yoga practices, I incorporate something I’ve learned from it into my teaching. Seeing the way my students respond teaches me how to do a better job instructing. I weave that back in to my next morning’s practice.

This process continues to refine both my learning and my teaching. Like day turns in to night and back into day, learning turns into teaching, which turns back into learning. The uncut gem of my understanding of yoga tumbles in the lapidary of these efforts as my rough edges smooth out, better able to reflect the Light.

What smooths out your rough edges? Do you invite refinement or resist it? Ki to Happiness alternates between learning and teaching each day and night even as sometimes there’s resistance to that which yoga invites.

On this April Fool’s Day I observe my foolishness with delight. 11 years ago I started a blog without ever conceiving that I’d still be blogging all these years later. Last fall I planted bulbs not knowing if they’d bloom in our new location.

I see our first tulip, waiting in the dark for the sun to trigger it’s petals to open again, like they did yesterday. I read the anniversary announcement from my blog host celebrating our anniversary. Without freedom to create as inspired by my Higher Self and a willingness to be seen as foolish, I wouldn’t have this satisfaction.

Do you allow yourself the freedom to be foolish? What would your Higher Self like you to create? Ki to Happiness changes in creative ways following Guidance even at the risk of appearing foolish.

Justice takes a long time. When the former president was in the White House, his hubris seemed to protect him as if he was above the law. Years later, these 30 counts against him indicate he was incorrect about that.

No current or former president has ever been indicted. This singularity will ensure that we all remember him as special and unique. In my humble life, I recognize that I am neither special nor unique, and may be easily forgotten even as my love and contribution continues long after I’m gone.

How patient are you with respect to justice? What do you want to be remembered for? Ki to Happiness unconditionally loves and joyously contributes as Justice takes her sweet time.

Our students and clients have been dealing with anxiety and tension during this time of energetic bombardment from the solar system. The solar flares and the planetary alignment makes it hard to rest. Utilizing the energy propels progress, instead of allowing it to grind away at our nervous system.

It has manifested with scheduling conflicts and myriad details competing for attention. Focusing on one issue at a time, these energies can be useful. Potentially an evolutionary leap forward awaits our active participation.

What have you been doing with these energies? Are you using them or are they using you? Ki to Happiness aligns with the stars and shines like the sun.

Today I celebrate 39 years since my awakening into spirit. I give my maternal grandmother credit for pulling some strings for me behind the scenes. She would be 121 years old today, but she departed the physical realm before she turned 82.

Since that morning 39 years ago, in my humble little apartment, I have aligned with spirit as the center of my life. It always was, but I didn’t realize that until my awakening. Instead of swimming upstream against the current, in kindness to my soul and with self compassion, I have learned to go with the flow of guidance and surrender my efforts to the One in All.

What do you hold as the center of your life? What supports that center? Ki to Happiness aligns with spirit through daily Hatha Yoga practice.

In Bob’s 530 class last night, he had us practice the posture called Reclined Hero, or Supta Virasana. It’s a simple posture for kids, and often impossible for adults. Laying back on our backs with heals tucked in by our hips is too much knee flexion for many heroic adults.

Those of us gathered slowly found our way to release our heroic efforts and settle into the pose. Some required a bolster under their hips, or under their chest, to diminish the extreme stretch through the quads. Having sent off my taxes, worked on my manuscript, and taught my morning class, this practice brought me sublime restoration.

How heroic have your efforts been lately? What will restore you? Ki to Happiness restores and reSources with Hatha Yoga.

At this time of the year, many of us are dealing with our taxes. They are one of the only two certainties in life as grandpa told me. I’m glad he informed me long ago before he demonstrated the other certainty.

I’d love to have more representation regarding how my taxes are directed. Voting doesn’t seem to make that happen, so let me give a shout out here to the underpaid cops, teachers and civil servants that keep our society in tact to the best of their abilities. In our new live work situation, I wish I could direct my taxes to the kind folks who respond to the reports on the Find It, Fix It app, as they do a great job of attending to otherwise neglected issues in our society.

How represented do you feel as you pay your taxes? Who would you like to receive some of your contributions to our society? Ki to Happiness contributes praise and donations to the unsung heroes at all times of the year.
