The practice of yoga may limber the body although these days, we also need a flexible mind. Our area experienced big layoffs and power failures yesterday. None of the challenges are personal, and yet they may effect us personally.

I was called upon to be flexible with my time yesterday. Changing some private work from 1130 until 330 meant I needed to hustle for my evening class set up. Technical problems resolved just in time to welcome students and their smiles.

How flexible is your mind? How does that show up in your body? Ki to Happiness stretches her body, opens her mind and adapts her schedule.

Taking a break from work, we walked out into the sunshine. Free from wind, the moments without clouds heated me to the extent that I removed one jacket layer and tied it around my waist. Robbins and jays dug for worms and seeds.

A sudden burst of yellow caught my eye. I got closer to witness the blooming dandelions. Later, in the summer, they may seem like weeds, but on this walk they brought delight like a bouquet of roses.

How is your work-life balance? Are you getting enough fresh air and sunshine? Ki to Happiness stops to smell the blooming dandelions.

Springing forward continues to have its Jetlag effect on everyone. Upset digestion, headaches, and general irritability underly efforts as we adjust. Walking, drinking water and practicing yoga help this process, and just about all others.

When we see the neighborhood dogs, we immediately smile as we greet each other. Seeing the ducks in our local creek, we feel blessed. Feeding them feeds us.

What activities help you adjust? How readily can you choose them? Ki to Happiness chooses walking, drinking water, practicing yoga and readily smiles with the dogs and ducks.

Bob surprise me by wanting to view the Oscars last night. We watched several of the movies throughout the year that were up for nomination. That gave him extra interest in the outcomes.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once surprised us with several awards. When we first watched it, it seemed too difficult to follow for Hollywood’s general viewers as it portrayed several complicated concepts. Glad to see the progress in the Academy as well as many dreams coming true.

Did you participate in this American tradition? Could you see cultural progress and evolution? Ki to Happiness applauses those who’ve realized their dreams.



We set our clocks forward one hour in the early afternoon yesterday to prepare for today. In doing so, we got on the schedule with early meals, and early bed. The cats also seemed to get the message as if they auto reset with the computers.

Getting up at 4 o’clock, which we know is really 3 o’clock, our world is exceptionally quiet. Practicing yoga at this time, the stillness and silence goes deeply into my consciousness. I smile without reason.

How well did you prepare for this spring forward morning? Can your practices help you adapt? Ki to Happiness breathes and smiles in the silent stillness.

Dawn is breaking at 6 AM now. My practices get me up early enough to watch the spectacle. Staying in tune with natural rhythms, I connect more to my nature.

This is one of the magic hours of the day. Sunset at 6 PM brings about the second magic hour of the day. Balancing light and dark, all in between are balanced and bracketed by the magic of the near equinox.

How do you stay in tune with nature? What Will help you reconnect? Ki to Happiness honors natural rhythms.

Now that Saturn has transited into the sign of Pisces, there is a greater need for sleep, Pisces is the mutable water sign, and its dreamy qualities come forward with adequate rest. In resting, we heal, and integrate the many lessons from the last three years when Saturn was in Aquarius.

Unfortunately, my cats did not get that astrological update. They’ve been wanting me to get up at 2 AM, so had to I rigged up my door to keep them out until 4. Resting soundly until then, I started my morning practices with renewed appreciation for sweet sleep..

Can you allow yourself the luxury of resting as much as you need? Does it bring up fears of being lazy or depressed? Ki to Happiness let go of her alarm decades ago.

Working privately with one of my clients, she expressed an interest in a particular property. Later last night, the owner of that property contacted me. This morning I sent the link she shared with me regarding the property to my client.

I am not in real estate, nor do I have regular contact with either of these parties. On one level it may seem like a coincidence. On another level, it seems like synchronicity,

When circumstances align, do you attribute it to coincidence? Or are you able to see the synchronicity?Ki to Happiness witnesses simultaneous occupancies as evidence of Divine Intervention.

Yesterday, we experienced the planetary transit which will affect our next couple of years. Saturn had been in Aquarius all through the COVID years. It has transited into Pisces for the foreseeable future.

For some the change will occur on a subconscious level. Others of us are sensitive to these changes. I find it empowering to work with the energies instead of resisting them.

Did you feel this shift toward greater awareness of your feelings? What karmas restrict your deepest emotions? Ki to Happiness releases the past karma of avoiding emotions so they can be gently expressed and utilized to evolve.

Sometimes, when I work privately with a client, I run into issues I have not personally experienced. In order to deepen my compassion I may read someone else’s account of going through such issues. In this way, I prolong my meditation on walking a mile in their moccasins.

Research indicates that the happiest among us are those who can learn from other people‘s paths. While my own issues started me on the journey of healing, I’m fortunate to not have had to go through every issue personally. Having compassion for myself opens me up to deep compassion for others.

How do you deepen your compassion for others? What helps you expand your capacity to understand those who are different from yourself? Ki to Happiness learns from those who’ve gone before us.
