“Easter time is the time for eggs and the time for eggs is the Easter time!”This little ditty rang through my early years, as my stepdad would cheerfully chant it towards me, at this time of the year, and anytime it would be just the right kind of silliness. At age 94, he still remembers. We’d be sharing in that chant together over brunch, except for the fact that both of our states are locked down.

The resurrection of that statement, the awakening this morning into an azure blue sky, the awareness of this inhalation, all bring the spirit of Easter alive for me. Letting go of all that has been in order to embrace the new fresh possibility of this day rebirths my essential Self again and again.

What awakens your spirit to the possibility of rebirth? How can you best celebrate? Ki to Happiness celebrates with each conscious breath.

As holy week proceeds, today is Holy Saturday in the Christian tradition. Generally, a time of preparation for tomorrow’s feast, in celebration of the resurrection. In the yogic tradition, we resurrect with each new inhalation.

On this planet with 7+ billion people, the Sufis say that we each have our own religion. Each way is equally valid. Even as we all face what is considered a “global pandemic” there are many differing opinions and beliefs. Perhaps no two of us agree or align on all components. We are all individuals. Each to be respected. That is part of my non-religious spiritual belief.

What is your belief/opinion? How able are you to respect those who have a different belief/opinion? Ki to Happiness believes that peace and joy abide in each of us, awaiting our attention so we can manifest something creative from this awareness.

Today is considered to be Good Friday. For many of us, it is a great Friday! Health is returning to many! We have done what we need to do so that we can proceed onward, and rebirth our world. 

We may have no Easter bonnet, there may not be green and yellow baskets filled with chocolate bunnies and colored eggs. As we stay home and stay healthy, we may not have a large gathering that we are planning for. We may have our own kind of church remotely. And yet the feeling of relief is in the air.

What cross have you been taken down from? Ki to Happiness is off the cross of fear.



In my area of the first Hot spot in the nation with the coronavirus, we are now at post peak. As the moon’s light diminishes, may the curve of cases also diminish.

Our willingness to cooperate with the required surrender has been effective. We have let go of our previous way of living, We will be forever altered from having gone through this global crisis.

What can you envision as you continue staying home and staying healthy that you may bring forward from this time into our new world, which awaits us? Ki to Happiness brings forward the joy that Is.

This full moon occurs in the astrological sign of Libra. This enables us to see in a balanced way the reflection of our unconscious material. Making the best use of it, reflect on how balanced you are feeling as you are staying home and staying healthy for course corrections.

Libra loves beauty and the ever fluctuating awareness of balance and symmetry. Without criticism, constructively shift with the guidance you are receiving to bring about more of these attributes in your life.

What change in your life would bring you into a more balanced state? How beautiful and symmetrical is your view? Ki to Happiness sees beauty in the ever shifting balance.

Yesterday’s global meditation required 1 million of us to envision this planet as a place for all to live in harmony, and peace. Leading my preparatory live streaming meditation on Hatha Yoga Center Facebook page, we prepared for that moment. I could feel the others who were participating with me.

15 minutes later, the global focus began. My experience shifted to include the sense of many others. Impossible to quantify. The felt sense was that of the top of my head opening to all the others, interconnected in a web of light embracing the earth with our truest desires.

Were you one in a million who participated in the global meditation? What was your experience? Ki to Happiness is grateful to be among those who are part of this web of light.

Even as the global pandemic sweeps one hotspot and another, life goes on. Babies are being born. Lovers are marrying. Birthdays parties are happening. The birds are singing. Blossoms are blooming. There is cause for celebration.

When others are ill, sad, afraid, grieving, dying, it may be very hard to access your inherent joy. Yoga theory holds that our most essential spirit is full of bliss. The practices help us to access this nature.

Are you allowing yourself to feel joy at this time with so much sorrow? What new life can you celebrate? Ki to Happiness shares the following Yoga Sutra: (Book 1, number 33) By sympathy with the happy, compassion for the sorrowful, delight in the holy disregard of the unholy, the psychic nature moves to gracious peace.

Now with the prospect of staying home and staying healthy for another month, we do well to use this time to be creative in following inner guidance to work towards creating a different future. The past is gone. The present requires sequestration. The future remains to be seen…

As a facilitator of change, I have explored many beliefs about how we transform. The Sufis meditation master, Pir Vilayat Khan says “The pull of the future is greater than the push of the past”. Dr. Joe Dispenza says “ we must fall more in love with our future than our past.“

What from the past are you still in love with? What future can you envision that you could fall more in love with? Ki to Happiness is feeling the pull of the future.

The Hopi elders offer this medicine as we face the global pandemic: We have all been prepared well for this time so we can choose wisely between the two different ways of approaching the present condition. We can either fall into a hole of despair or face our fears and pass through this portal into a new possible world of our co-creation.

Using the tools in our metaphorical toolboxes, let us rise to this challenge together at a safe social distance in song, dance, and artful expression. Balancing our spiritual nature with our social responsibilities we can learn valuable lessons to benefit all.

Which do you choose? What can you envision manifesting from what you are learning now?Ki to Happiness envisions a safe passage for us all into global harmony.
