When we moved here, our new landlord sent me an article from NewsBreak. Since that time, I noticed myself scrolling through its app with a negative result. So I removed the app from my phone and am fasting from it.

Instead of scrolling, I called a friend. I noticed the positive result of truly connecting with a real person. The news we shared of each other’s lives deepens our bonds.

How do you take your news? When you notice it’s having a negative effect on you, can you change your source? Ki to Happiness is well enough informed to choose real relating over doom scrolling.

Today, the planet mercury appears to move forward in its pattern. With it, communication, and transportation is more likely to also move forward. After the frustrations and challenges of the last three weeks, this is welcome.

Having made good use of the time for reflection, there is potential for great healing. Perhaps there can be a feeling of clearing and freshness. I have honored the shift with fresh dishes, whomping up vegan Saag as well as Mac and Cheez.

What would you like to say? Where do you wanna go? Ki to Happiness says thank you for the time to reflect as I go about my business.

Sometimes the tasks in our lives seem enormous. When we break them down and do a little bit at a time we experience success. That gives us enough juice to do a little bit more.

It all starts as we get up in the morning. Making the bed. Feeding the cats…bit by bit with rests when we need them… we grow into ourSelves.

What enormous task do you need to break down into tiny, doable steps? How does it feel to take one step? Ki to Happiness has become a Blogger, Holistic Counselor, Dancer, Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master, Vegan, Poet, World Traveler, Wife, Step Mother, Cat Staffmember bit by bit…

Happy MLK day. I am still dreaming his dream becomes reality. The four chambers in my heart, while separate, all beat for one purpose.

Similarly, separate cultures and peoples could align with one common purpose. Furthering the manifestation of spirit on this earth brought us all here. It’s up to each of us to find the rhythm and timing.

What do you need to do to keep the dream in your heart alive? More connection to spirit or manifestation? Ki to Happiness finds balance with right rhythm and timing.

I walked out into the record-breaking warmth in search of my favorite winter bloom. Sarcococca doesn’t look like much with its evergreen leaves and tiny white flowers. The shrub’s scent is the harbinger of Spring, blooming in midwinter.

Some describe its scent as vanilla. To my sensitive nose, it smells like the Earth, waking up and offering its promise. Yes, the days are still short, and we will have further cold and dark days, yet the scent emboldens hope and faith.

Do you have a favorite harbinger of Spring What emboldens your hope and faith? Ki to Happiness sniffs the air.

From our earthly vantage point, planets appear to move forward, then backward, which is called retrograde. Later they appear to move forward after they appear to be standing still which is called stationed direct. Yoga teaches us the macrocosm is reflected in our inner microcosm, indicating people similarly move forward in some areas of life, then backwards for a time with periods of standing still before forward movement occurs again.

During this period as Mars has stationed direct, we may use the energy to pause and compose ourselves anew. Doing so we can integrate the lessons learned regarding our masculine, assertive, warrior like energy for future efforts. Soon, Mercury will also go direct, assisting us with communication and transportation, but until then we may best allow time for reflection.

How comfortable can you be with standing still? What lessons have you learned about your warrior energy that you can integrate as you reflect? Ki to Happiness is composing herself.

For eight months since we learned of our potential need for this relocation, our energy has been attending to conflict resolution as well as the daily necessities of life and work. The process narrowed my vision so as to keep my sights set on the goal. Yesterday we learned we’ve prevailed.

As we went out for our walk in celebration and trauma release, my eyes widened and my sight cleared. As if I had a fisheye lens in which to see the entirety, I witnessed Grace unfolding and engulfing our circumstances. Delivered from injustices, I wept and walked in gratitude for my yoga practices, prayers and people who have had our backs all along the way.

Who has your back? What helps you prevail? Ki to Happiness sees clearly in gratitude for all that has had my back.

I hit the back of my head doing my chores in the morning. It cracked, but didn’t hurt. Later, I felt off center, unstable and highly sensitive.

Knowing myself, I didn’t identify with my condition. Instead, I got help to realign my neck and my ventral vagus nerve. Afterwards, I felt back on center with full potential, stable and illuminated from within.

What do you do when you feel off? How do you get yourself back on? Ki to Happiness realigns with the help of yoga practices.

Graham Hancock’s Ancient Apocalypse series shares his lifelong investigation of prehistoric sites. I have always been drawn to such mysteries, and have traveled to feel the energy in such places myself. Pyramids have been built over pyramids which are built over pyramids like Russian Nesting dolls protecting sacred springs in several places around the world.

In Egypt, Peru and Mexico for instance, I have been drawn to these locations where massive efforts by multitudes over centuries continue standing. These are silent testaments to humanity’s perseverance in protecting the holy healing waters. Deeply stirred, I drink fresh clean water today as I reflect.

What have you always been drawn toward? What might be at the center of that attraction? Ki to Happiness drinks deeply the quenching waters of our wise ancestors.

Today we are especially thankful for our heat and light. We received our first bill covering two months of winter usage. It is despite the many warnings of the drastic increase in charges.

The Earth is targeted to receive massive energy from a record-breaking solar flare today. It may potentially knock out radio stations and cause disruption in satellites and the power grid. We are prepared, empowered, and informed.

How grateful are you for heat and light? Can you take care of yourself if you lose either? Ki to Happiness is grateful, empowered, informed and prepared.
