After teaching yesterday morning, I took my rest for 20 minutes as usual. Reflecting on the classes, and digesting my lunch, I laid back in corpse position and closed my eyes. About 15 minutes later, my dad showed up and sat at the foot of my bed, asking if I would open the shade.

He used to refer to all the ways I doted on him as “little acts of kindness” when I’d pour him some coffee, hand him the newspaper or put lotion on his itchy arms. On the astral plane of dreams and visions, I’m honored he’d turn to me for another act of kindness. “Sure, Dad” I responded as I opened the shade that blocked his view of what lies Beyond.

What little acts of kindness could you do today? Who needs your assistance on another plane? Ki to Happiness is honored to be of service on the Earthly plane and Beyond.

With one Facebook page blocked and another restricted, I learned yesterday I am not alone. Several others have similarly been blocked and restricted due to no particular reason. It helps to know that I am in good company.

Long before Facebook, there was yoga. No doubt yoga will continue to offer tools of body mind spirit integration with or without social media to spread its empowering message. Self responsibility remains central to freedom, not just from Facebook jail.

Do you know how to free yourself from those who would imprison you on any level? Can you take a free and deep breath with your head held high and contact your Higher Self? Ki to Happiness freely aligns with Mother/Father God-Is, Almighty.

As Bob and I returned from our afternoon walk, we came by our near creek and saw unusual ripples and fluttering wings. Two ducks were swimming and grooming. I came home to grab the bread from dad‘s altar so we could feed them.

We’ve never had ducks here before. It felt like a message from Dad, who loved ducks and could identify them in flight after years of hunting, eating and appreciating them. They enjoyed the food as we nourished our souls with this message from beyond.

Have you received messages from beyond? Can you let that contact nourish you? Ki to Happiness feeds and is fed.

If there’s enough sunlight for the groundhog to see his shadow today, we will have another six weeks of Winter. In our area, we can count on clouds so maybe an early Spring will bookend our early Winter. We couldn’t see the Green Comet last night for the cloud cover.

Shadows and light both offer their blessing. One juxtaposed against the next bring us sharp contrast. Like inhaling and exhaling, both are necessary.

Can you embrace your Light of Consciousness? What is your relationship to your shadow side? Ki to Happiness balances shadows and light with Hatha Yoga.

My sweet stepdad passed away. He greatly influenced my ability to be a step mom. I feel him with me, even though I am far from his earthy home.

During my last visit, we were talking about one of our cats who passed away. I said “now she’s everywhere“. He seemed to like that idea.

How can you best honor someone who has greatly influenced your life? Where do you believe they are when they are no longer in form? Ki to Happiness honors her Dad who is now resting in peace everywhere

Hello dear readers. I’m reaching out to let you know that at 7:32 this morning my Facebook account was been suspended. That means that these blogs will no longer be shared to Facebook until they reinstate my account. It also means that I cannot live stream my classes on my device.

I will continue to live stream my classes on another device using another account. I submitted all information necessary to reinstate my account. I am to wait for 24 hours or more… While I breathe.

What’s your relationship with Facebook? Have you been suspended before? Ki to Happiness breathes and keeps up Hatha Yoga practices with or without Facebook.

Each breath enters as a gift. It empowers us to grow and evolve. Each exhalation allows us to offer something to the world of our growth and evolution until our last.

At times of loss or sudden change, there’s a tendency to hold the breath as if that would help. It doesn’t. Yoga teaches us to keep breathing so we can stay present to the guidance which continues to grow and evolve us into the love we already always have been so we can contribute that to the changing circumstances.

How is your breath? Can you take a slow deep breath right now? Ki to Happiness breathes through change.

Now that my birthday has passed, I see what has been left unattended. There are many things that I can do nothing about. I am able to take stock of my freezer and do my laundry, however.

In having the courage to change the things I can, I prepare for whatever lies ahead. I am grateful to have grown in wisdom to accept my limitations to change things beyond my wheelhouse. With serenity fortified, my freezer stocked full of vegan meals, and laundry drying I start my week.

What will fortify your serenity?Is there something left unattended that needs to be done? Ki to Happiness wait serenely with her freezer reorganized and clothes on the line.

One of my morning practices includes the Sufi meditation called Dhikr. Practicing it daily, keeps this tool fresh so I can turn to it in a moment’s need. Anytime the outer reality is disappointing, it reminds us to look within.

Inside our hearts, we have a connection to the great One who Rumi says brought us here and will have to take us Home. The practice deepens our awareness within the heart so we may readily align with it’s true Home at will. There is no God but The One is it’s briefest translation.

Where you turn to when the outer reality disappoints? Can you look within your heart and find the connection to that which never disappoints? Ki to Happiness practices this way.

It’s great to be 62 and to have loved many all these years. I felt like all that I put out there came back to me yesterday. Balloons from mom and dad, cards from near and far, flowers from Bob and a dear girl friend, gifts from a client and former neighbor, packages and calls from old friends, and good news from my brother and assistant, as well as hundreds of FB wishes all avalanched onto me.

In my meditations I received visions of our son and his homies, and my dad’s right hand. The astral plane reached out toward me with energetic wishes. I share all that love with you now, in gratitude.

Can you imagine all the love you’ve been putting out returning to you? Could you withstand the love avalanche? Ki to Happiness stretches her heart wide open to receive.
