Bob and I watched one of our favorite news programs yesterday with a friend at a distance. We synchronized our viewing for a sense of community. It’s so important to stay connected to others, to the news and to our ability to be informed, do research and decide for ourselves.

In doing so we have reason to be hopeful, and to see progress amidst setback. Great experiments in life require that we follow through to learn the results. Consequences revealed in accurate data empower us to make course corrections as we respect others right to do the same, in their own timing.

Are you willing to do your own research? What corrections are required as you live and learn? Ki to Happiness is watching with you.

After my large late class, it’s hard to turn in. It takes me a little while to calm down and clean up. In delight, I tidy up, put away mats, pick up discarded cups, and get things ready for a new day reflecting on the 20 humans who attended both the 5:30 and 7 pm classes combined.

I tuck myself in and close my eyes. I remember the smiles and the efforts, the issues and the progress as I process. In the morning, the cats still want me up at our regular time so I can feed them, but instead, I sleep in, all the way until 445.

What does sleeping in mean for you? How do your evening activities effect your morning rising? Ki to Happiness prepares each night for morning practices so even when I sleep in, I’m ready to greet the new day with fresh practices and hot water.

On this Ash Wednesday, we enter into 40 days of Lent before Easter. In preparation of the celebration of Spring and resurrection of life, we have a chance to fast from those activities and ingestible that we choose. Surrendering sugar, cursing, social media or whatever hinders us will result in stronger discipline and align us with the upcoming renewal that awaits us.

Staying current with these issues throughout the year makes for an easier transition. Every effort, like a stick of incense, burns it’s fuel as a sacrifice. The essence of our effort is all that remains, like holy incense ash.

What sacrifice are you willing to make today toward your own rebirth? What have you been doing or ingesting that you can surrender on the altar of your intention for renewal or resurrection? Ki to Happiness surrenders fear to the sacrifice of living fully in Divine Safety.

After teaching and conducting a private session in the morning, I rested yesterday. I got up from my 20 minute reclined meditation with tears in my eyes, grateful for my healing. My energy shifted from my sense of free-floating ecstasy to that of free-floating anxiety without any known provocation.

A bit confused about the shift, I used the energy to clean my kitchen and cook. When I checked my phone, I found a beloved client in crisis, texting me from far away. immediately got back to her. aware of our deep heart connection.

How do you experience your heart connections? When someone you love and care about is distressed, do you sense it within? Ki to Happiness heals and feels our Oneness.

Today I awaken with the feeling of rebounding health. I’ve cleared out whatever crud had me feeling low. I celebrate the natural healing force within.

I made good use of my time down. I’m ready for the next step with my manuscript and I’m about to get a new phone upgrade. Both are surprising developments, which perhaps would not have happened without my cleanse.

Have you experienced your health rebound? Can you celebrate the progress if not the process? Ki to Happiness rises to serve again from the wellspring of rebounding health.

Today we have a chance to set new moon intentions for the next lunar month. This occurs in the sign of Pisces, which brings up our emotional nature in a way that is related to the old traditions.

The Hindu celebration of Maha Siva Ratri coincides with this moon. Shiva, the Lord of yoga, unites with the night goddess, Ratri in Divine Union. This marriage brings together the anthropomorphic energies of light and dark, which is cause for celebration, ushering in a month of emotional balance and renewal.

What are your intentions for the next month? What aspects of your emotions require greater balance? Ki to Happiness intends harmony and equanimity to guide the way forward.

Hello dear readers. I am testing my reset phone. I hope this works so in the wee hours of the morning I can send you off something meaningful.

I learned yesterday that my cat, Padma, got into trouble eating a toy. Our attention became riveted on his recovery. Last night he ate right before bed and again this morning.

This brings such relief. The simple pleasure of hearing all three cats eat their morning breakfast opens my heart. I am grateful for the small miracle.

Do you see the small miracles in your life? What simple pleasure opens your heart? Ki to Happiness invites more miracles by celebrating each small miracle.

My dad‘s obituary is now in print. For some, that makes it real and brings closure. For others, it may be a source of comparison or judgment.

For me, there is no closure. There is only this opening into love that he and I shared which will continue eternally. There are no words, in print or otherwise that express his 97 1/3 years on the Earth.

Do you look at the obituaries? Have you written your own? Ki to Happiness reads and writes and remembers.

In my beginner’s class last night, we set our intentions and chanted the sacred syllable Om. It sounded like we were purring. All our our voices combined with deep resonance.

I teach for many reasons, including moments like that. It’s as if all of our differences and distractions dissolve. In that blessed moment, we are all on the same wave length, if not the same pitch.

When do you feel deep resonance with others? What allows you to release differences and distractions? Ki to Happiness loves the purrfection of us all together.
