Our governor, yesterday, announced that beginning tomorrow masks are mandatory in public spaces. I mostly stay home and stay healthy, and I am able to safely start in this phase 2 without needing to be in public often.

I have been asked to teach private classes outside. I look forward to heading out, teaching in nature, at a nearby park. It will be my first class without being live streamed In nearly 4 months. I look forward to socially engaging, while keeping a safe distance.

How able are you to adapt to the new changes in your area? What new circumstances will you be using your life skills in? Ki to Happiness loves what is.

I first experienced in the fresh air and the mild temperatures of Seattle summer in the mid 80s. I remember the feeling cool air entering in unscreened windows. No concern for mosquitoes or flies, like the Midwest. Instead, a sense of openness.

Revisiting that feeling all these years later is one of the benefits of this time on the planet for me. I have spent most of my summers in the tropics sense my first trip here. Without the ability to fly to Bali, I remain here. I am enjoying the simple pleasures.

What simple pleasures are you able to experience? How different will your summer be? Ki to Happiness breathes deeply.

After watching Dr. Zach Bush, MD, I am celebrating my biome. On his one lengthy YouTube video, he beautifully examines life and death, with the awareness of our gut health. More personal than our fingerprint, the particular collection of bacteria and viruses that we all carry keeps us in balance.

After a concerted effort to change my biome, by removing inflammatory foods, and lots of yoga, I’m completely aware of how challenging it is. And, it is so worth it! A lifetime of refinement results in my healthy spirit mind body.

What is your relationship to your biome? How can you refine yourself to support its balance? Ki to Happiness sees beauty in nature to support mine.

This Monday ushers in phase 2 of our safe start program. Five live students are welcome to join us as we continue live streaming our full schedule of yoga classes. other retail establishments are opening, as are other service providers.

I am honoring this with a new fresh candle. Setting intentions with this new moon to stay healthy, at home, as we start to welcome healthy students back slowly. I reserve my exposure for this purpose.

How does phase 2 effect you? Safely starting to resume more interactions? Ki to Happiness always observes Safety First.

On this Father’s Day, we have a new moon. It is eclipsing the sun. This is a cosmic celebration. It portends a change in the way that we father. Doing so will result in greater consciousness for the next month, and new season of Summer, related to all we manifest.

No longer necessary for fathers to dominate with strict discipline, fathers are instead encouraged to look deeply within their hearts. There, we all find tenderness. The mind of the heart encourages that we father with love all we create.

Who has fathered you? What have you fathered? Ki to Happiness honors all who father with love.

Today, we celebrate the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, with the most light. After spending Spring staying home and staying healthy, and safely starting to reopen, we enter phase 2!

We’ve planted seeds of intention together. We’ve nurtured them with our healthy habits. Now those seeds blossom, with harvest coming in 3 months.

What fruit will come? Any thinning needed? Ki to Happiness delights in the garden of intention.

Yesterday, the planet Mercury has shifted its appearance. It looks to be heading backwards now. With it, there will be issues with communication, transportation, and electronics. Best used, these energies will allow us to reflect, review, and redo.

In your time of safe starting, there has been movement forward. These energies now give us a chance to improve the way in which we are doing so. Safe start, slow reopenings and an ongoing commitment to our truest values can optimize these energies.

Upon reflecting, what do you need to communicate? In this environment of safe starting, what do you need to transport? Ki to Happiness works with what Is.

In returning to Seattle, I ventured out yesterday to take care of a few things. Along the way, an old white man attempted to use his sense of privilege to get me out of his way so he could do what he wanted to do. I continued on my way. Then I crossed the street.

In entering my building, there was a young black man sitting on our steps. Trespassing. And lying about it. He was attempting to use his presence to intimidate me. I continued on my way.

Is the issue race? Or age? Or gender? Ki to Happiness continues on my way… grateful for all the white, black, brown, yellow, red, old, or young men who are polite, truthful, and respectful.

After travel, I return home with fresh eyes. Having witnessed different parts of the country, and changes during the week I was traveling, now I relearn what my county require. It is as if I have been to a couple of different countries.

I continue to live in my own sovereign nation. Part of the way I govern myself includes respecting others needs, and adjusting to customs and guidelines wherever I am.

Have you traveled in the time of Covid yet? Are you able to change and adapt with the circumstances wherever you are? Ki to Happiness recognizes that I am a portable safety zone of consciousness.

I was inspired to begin this blog from a professional travel blocker. In this time of Covid, They have long since stopped traveling, and have nothing to blog about. Still here I am, blogging, and traveling.

Our travel is easier than ever. Eyes smile, while facemasks cover mouth and nose. Especially now as there is an increased awareness of the need to be kind and respectful across differences, there is a family feeling in the air.

Who has inspired you to do what you are up to? Are they still doing it? Ki to Happiness continues on the path that has inspired.
