Fresh rains have fallen in the night. All is washed clean. I love how the trees, the concrete, the cars as well as the people walking about all get wet. Like the sun, the rain finds its way to all sides of the mountain. In right timing , the elements express themselves indiscriminately.

If only we could love like this. Freely giving all of our heart, our truest attention, to all things, we shine like the sun. We cleanse the earth and all it’s material like the rain.

Can you let your love flow like the rain? Or let your love shine like the sun? Ki to Happiness loves.

Lately my personal issues which I have referred to as a hangnail have required some conscious resting. This allows my body to integrate the efforts towards correction. I’ve invited gentleness and natural processes to bring me through to wholeness again.

It’s working. I’m feeling better. Stronger. Clearer. My practices sustain me through every “hangnail“. They are also stronger and clearer. This is what I have to offer others.

Are you able to consciously rest when needed? Do you keep your practices going? Ki to Happiness encourages conscious resting and consistent practices.

On this 51st anniversary of our national celebration of the earth, I take delight in the few seeds I planted in my apartment garden. I can’t see them germinating yet. I mist them. I make sure they are in the right conditions with a good temperature and enough light and water.

This waiting is a spiritual practice. It reminds me of all the years spent as a yoga instructor and psychotherapist. Planting seeds, offering supportive conditions, and waiting patiently with faith for the unseen to become manifest. I’m sure my Higher Self feels the same way about me.

How will you celebrate Earth Day? What are you waiting for? Ki to Happiness waits for What Waits for us to awaken.

Due to a couple of cancellations yesterday, I had surprising time unscheduled. I enjoyed putzing about in my home and work environment. Cleaning, organizing, rearranging for the warmer seasons, and planting my urban garden all gave me sensory delight.

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, they got it right. Having offered my prayers up every time I’ve been exposed to the terrible last 9+ minutes of George Floyd‘s life, I surrendered into the justice system. I am relieved that we still have one and parts of it still work.

What do you do when you surprisingly have spare time? Can you open up to the magic of simply enjoying your life? Ki to Happiness is more able to do so as a measure of Justice is upon our land.

This morning, I feel the fresh cool air entering me. I delighted in drinking my jasmine green tea. My body feels like my good friend. The birds sing their delight, bringing in the day. I took a deep sniff of my cats. At first light, I saw the magic color of the morning.

The Taurus sun asks us to ground ourselves and our senses. This brings us present to the gifts of the moment. Our feelings may direct us towards changes necessary for full enjoyment. Listen and heed this guidance.

Can you open up to all your senses? Are you able to let go of non-sense? Ki to Happiness heeds the needed changes to bring Heaven down Here.

Today the sun shifts into the sign of Taurus. This welcomes a period of enjoying the comforts of home, the beauty of the Earth, and the splendor of Spring in the Northern hemisphere.

The fiery sign of Aries has lit up this season so we can bask in its grounded glory. Growth, progress, health and sensory pleasures entice us. Enjoy this time, safely.

What have you started that will benefit from grounding it into earthly disciplines? Which senses anchor you to earthly delights? Ki to Happiness senses Heaven on Earth through yoga.

I am learning the hard way, perhaps as you have, to see the signs of fraudulent behavior. My life focus has been on raising consciousness. Helping others as a psychotherapist, holistic counselor, yoga teacher and trainer, has required that I broaden my bandwith to accept those different from myself.

Meditating on my clients and students has taught me much compassion. My trusting heart opens easily. While remaining committed to staying open, I am no longer gullible to the “widowed single dads who work on oil rigs from Europe.” Three of them last week cannot be a coincidence.

How is your open heart? And your watchful eyes? Ki to Happiness is raising her consciousness enough to keep both open.

I returned to reading my beloved Rumi. His magic inspires my words. Sometimes I become unintelligible, like him. I’ll save that for poetry time.

This morning, my cats came in at 330. They walked all over me. That’s how I am with my higher self. When I need to return to source, I don’t care what time of day or night. I pounce on that which feeds and nurtures. Insistent, this Love cat gets what is needed.

Who do you read repeatedly? Where do you turn to connect to source? Ki to Happiness purrs with Rumi and yoga.

Since the burglary here nearly 2 months ago I continue to be the target of scams. I’m learning the hard way about the Darkside of the Internet. My tender heart after the loss of Spiritwalker opened me to fraudulent Facebook “friends”. I am vulnerable.

One of my thoughtful assistants recommended adding security to my phone. I’ve been learning about my blindspots that have allowed this darkness into my realm. I’m growing into my invulnerability that underlies these experiences. This is growth.

Where are your blind spots? Can you see them through the challenges you face? Ki to Happiness sees hers in the Light.

Death and taxes, my grandfather told me, were two certainties in life. Today we account for the past year as we settle the taxes. Death asks that we account for our lifetime.

Tax day is designated, and can be planned for. Natural death is much less convenient in its mysterious timing. Yoga offers a way to love the mysterious. Each breath reminds us to let go. Corpse position (Savasana) invites us to contemplate the mystery, and reorder our accounts accordingly.

Have you accounted for your year with the IRS? How are your accounts with your Internal Revenue Self? Ki to Happiness loves this mysterious life.
