Re-launching

Staying home and staying healthy has allowed me to get just the right help so that I could re-launch my Ki to Happiness website. My blog has a new home. May it serve you.

Creative juices, together with persistence, patience, and plenty of technical support have helped me to manifest. Check it out, when you get a chance. And feel free to “ask Ki anything“.

What do your creative juices want to manifest? What support do you need? Ki to Happiness supports each of our true creative desires.

Reconciling the irreconcilables

As we continue staying home and staying healthy, more choices present themselves to us as soft openings are happening in this area, and perhaps in yours as well. Conflicts arise as people with different opinions and different experiences clash. And yet for those of us with spiritual practices, yoga among them, are able to see from a higher perspective that the One who unites us all is on all things, in all things, in each one of us. Always and in all ways.

The Sufis call this “reconciling the irreconcilables”. Within each one of us, there are a multitude of opinions, having had plenty of variable experiences. As we become more coherent and integrated we have greater access to the Higher Power.

What disparities within can you heal today? Are you willing to forgive others who have not yet done this work? Ki to Happiness forgives God’s world.

Tending violets

Continuing happily to stay home and healthy, I’m able to improve my surroundings in the tiniest ways. Looking at the mighty violets gracing our studio, with their cheerful blooms, I am happy simply to tend to them.

Violets from a spiritual perspective encourage correct movements. Learning such, and recognizing that they could thrive in our north facing yoga studio, I’m so glad I got them years ago on the recommendation of one of our community members. So while she is not here in person, as I tend to them, I think of that dear one.

Any simple pleasures that you are finding in this unusual time? Able to feel the love for those who you are unable to physically be with? Ki to Happiness loves you all, and sends loving support for you and your correct movements.

Cooler heads

The spring swing has shifted our temperatures. As we drop back into the 50s and 60s, perhaps some of the heated division on the planet, in our country, and in our local area and will start to chill.

Yogic theory as stated in the Upanishads includes the postulate that what is within is with out, and that which is with out is also within. The microcosm and macrocosm are mirror reflections of one another. In this way, every effort we make to heal all the divisions within our self benefits humanity, as well as life on Earth.

Do you notice how the weather affects you? With cooler temperatures, what division within yourself can you heal? Ki to Happiness recognizes that “cooler heads prevail”.

Warmth and light

The sun has made a strong appearance in our area. Record breaking heat this weekend, and now a cloudy morning. Spring is showing her stuff: Green grasses, puffy white clouds, blue blue sky, lots of birds. Humans in masks and gloves, and little else.

I am noticing that when I stay inside, at home, and healthy, I don’t notice all the changes that have taken place. It’s only when I venture out, that I encounter the many individual differences in the reopening, one tier at a time. My yogic lifestyle continues to support me so I can serve.

Is your lifestyle supporting you? What adjustments are needed so it does? Ki to Happiness changes her clothes.

Mother’s Day

Today we honor our mothers, our grandmothers, and the Divine Mother principal. All that has nourished and nurtured comes from that great Goddess energy, materializing care and comfort.

On one level, it is a Hallmark holiday. Easy to disregard. Yet through all cultures, and at all times, there has been a recognition that without mothers, there would be nothing. No life. Without sending a card or presenting flowers, every day we do well to honor that mothering instinct. Especially today.

Who has nourished and nurtured you? What have you nourished and nurtured? Ki to Happiness loves her mother.

Sunshine, daydream

We are having beautiful spring weather in the Seattle area. More and more people are out and about. Some are continuing to observe social distancing, wearing masks and gloves, and others letting down those measures. I ventured out to our local Whole Foods. This required I stand in a long line in the sun. Inwas masked mandatorily before I entered. The one item I wanted I bought in bulk, so I don’t have to repeat that trip for another three months. As I returned with my goods, I came across a local businessman. He is starting to lose it. The reopening has had greater challenges, and more conflict than the shut down did from his perspective.

My practices sustain me. I walk alone. I see a world that is evolving. Feeling fortunate and blessed for the perspective that the practices yield.

What do you see from your vantage point? What practices sustain that view? Ki to Happiness forgives the world and looks upon it with loving eyes.

The Darkside of the moon

As this moon begins to subside, there may be remnants of material needing to be processed more completely. Some aspects of unconsciousness may have come forward, requiring attention.

Sex, death and other people’s money is presided over by Scorpio, the Transformer, with a strong effect to the nervous system. Perhaps with a more calm nervous system today, a clear path will begin to present itself, showing the way forward.

What needs to be transformed? In calm clarity, what way forward is revealed? Ki to Happiness transforms lemons into lemonade.

Scorpio full moon

Today we get a certain kind of report card. The full moon reflects back to us how well we have been doing, staying close to our intentions from two weeks ago when the moon was new. Those of us who practice awareness of the moon’s effect on our emotions have an opportunity to make good use of this feedback while we continue staying home and staying healthy.

As you move into your day, you may do so with a sense of serenity, peace, and satisfaction that you have done a great job of navigating these very uncharted waters. Dealing with the global circumstance has tested all of us. Others in your environment perhaps have not stayed on top of their issues, and maybe spreading fear, and it’s many cohorts.

What does your report card say? How can you use this feedback best? Ki to Happiness gets an A+ and uses that feedback to reflect it to you!

Giving

As we continue staying home and staying healthy, some begin to reopen and venture out. Masked, social distancing, and sometimes afraid of other people’s judgments, some businesses are opening in my area. The nearby copy shop attempted to remain open, was forced to close and found it was robbed when returning. I gave him some business and lots of compassion.

In our otherwise empty large commercial building, one bold tenant returned yesterday. Resuming what her clients experience as essential service, while masked, and practicing social distance, she was afraid when I came to congratulate her. When she saw the dozen red roses I offered as a gift, she came out to receive, letting go of her avoidance strategy.

What are you afraid of as we transition towards reopening? What gift might you give, and in doing so, energetically receive?Ki to Happiness recognizes that what I give, I receive.
