I understand the sun has been exploding in our general direction, blasting our planet with intense and potentially disruptive energies. While this is cyclic, and even predicted, it still messes with electronics, and communication, as well as resulting in the beautiful aurora borealis.

The recommendation for people at this time is to stay grounded. yoga, walking in nature, spending time with animals, drinking water, and eating healthy and nutritious food all will help. It also helps to not take any of the challenges that are coming your way personally right now, if not always.

Have you been having electronic snafus? Any issues with communication? Ki to Happiness stays grounded with all available tools.

Living my life yesterday, I became aware of sublime gratitude for my simple details. The cats whiskers, the juncos clicking the bird greetings, the tender flower petal wilting in their vases all brought me to the edge of tears. The feeling lingered, and engulfed my service with clients, and students, as well as neighbors and friends.

Nothing special happened. Pure joy, bliss, ecstasy arose of its own accord. Fortunately, I paused to witness and allow it to continue without interference.

Are you more familiar with exhaustion than exaltation? What rest do you need so that you can support the uprising of joy from within? Ki to Happiness, familiar with exhaustion, studies the unfamiliar exaltation that comes from enough rest and time to pause.

One of our students shared a scary story with me yesterday. I noticed it infected me with a bit of the virus of fear. In observing that, I removed myself briefly to find safety in reality.

I returned free from fear, full of safety and continued with what I was doing. I reframed her story to include her very real happy ending. I chose to focus on that instead of her delivery which triggered my initial reaction.

Where do you find safety? Can you quarantine yourself at times of fear so you don’t spread that virus? Ki to Happiness witnesses fear reactions and responds by sequestering until safe.

On Sundays, I talk to my brother. We started doing so as our parents aged and required more attention. Now that dad’s been gone for over two years, mom is doing great, so we simply catch up.

He is on top of his world, which brings me great joy. I no longer worry about him and his choices as I see he is content. Who knew that these would be the best years for us: golden memories, abundant health and plenty cats to accompany our yoga practices.

Are these your best years? With whom do you share? Ki to Happiness thanks yoga for these best years for my whole family.

 Birds are singing their welcome to the new month as they fly in and out of our fuchsia baskets. As they dart from their nests into our birdfeeders, our cats are captivated. Dawn illuminates the blessings of May, flowers freshly watered by the rain attracting the birds, enchanting the cats.

June holds the promise of Summer, usually concealed in its back pocket. Junuary will still require an overcoat, but today we will practice yoga with windows open on the new month with mild warmth. Our clean studio, safe community and dedicated practices witness the seasonal cycles and bring contentment with the dramatic unfoldment of consciousness.

What blessings did May bring to you?  How content are you with your role in the cycles and seasons? Ki to Happiness is content with each flower petal, every bird song and you, dear reader.

Today would have been my maternal grandfather’s 123rd birthday. He provided a stable and safe environment for us. He was the most just and fair man I knew.

He had already passed away by the time I met Bob. I consciously saw several of his qualities in Bob. There were other qualities unconsciously drawing me to work out ancestral healing as well, all of which I honor today.

Who were the architects of your family of origin and what qualities did they possess? Have you explored ancestral healing? Ki to Happiness thanks Grandfather for all his gifts.

I went out to get the newspaper yesterday morning and found that our sign was stolen from the corner. I looked around a bit, but didn’t find it. Immediately I got in the process of re-ordering not one but two signs.

At our previous location, our signs got stolen often. With the new signage, we release more of that energy from the past. While the sign might look the same, energetically it will hold a different vibration.

How can you tell when things have changed? What signs do you look for? Ki to Happiness releases signs with past vibrations and attracts new energy.

My spiritual reading this morning was about a janitor in a jail. Daily as she mopped, she blessed the space, cleared the energy, and anointed it with sacred oils. One day she spoke, and several of the incarnated found their way to cease from their illicit crime activity behind bars and found their way to the chapel.

The story made me cry. The simple, lowly woman simply told the men that she sees them, as does God, Who loves them exactly as they are. Tears of love and unity washed my face as the rains returned, bathing our world with Grace.

Do you love and accept yourself just the way you are? Are you willing to heal into loving unity? Ki to Happiness looks forward to cleaning the Hatha Yoga Center floor, Gracefully.

I had a hard time falling asleep last night. It seemed like the sounds of Bob readying for bed were amplified. I tried to avoid reacting in anger and stay in bed, but I was catapulted up and out.

I mentioned to Bob that his sounds inhibited my ability to sleep as I went to the bathroom, one more time. I began to turn back into bed, I saw a strange light coming in through our door, which had been left ajar! Counting all three of our indoor cats safely within, I secured the door and prayed “Thank You” to the Energies that wouldn’t let me sleep.

Can you say Thank You to the Energies around you that won’t let you sleep? How well do you sleep when you take action on what those Energies are prompting you to do? Ki to Happiness is grateful to have been disturbed so that my morning can be blessed with the joy of my three cat companions as I practice yoga. 

This new moon in Gemini invites us to set intentions, especially regarding communication and travel. The recent shift of Saturn into Aries may have brought up some material from the last 30 years that needs to be worked with. The opportunity to up level our methods of conveyance is upon us.

How we speak to others is often influenced by how we speak to ourselves. Letting go of past conditioning, we can talk to ourselves with loving compassion. Doing so, we will begin to broadcast and convey loving compassion to others as we navigate the world.

 What material have you been working with lately? Can you do so with loving compassion? Ki to Happiness up levels her self talk navigates the world with the True North of loving compassion.
