Making any progress or headway at this time feels like swimming upstream in sewage. The combination of the pandemic, the holidays, and the impeachment has hindered energy flow.
Facing this with honesty freed up a couple spurts of creative juices for me. I wrote a bad poem about it. Later, I danced to an old favorite Grateful Dead song.
Are you feeling stagnant? In facing this now can you also feel a spurt of energy? Ki to Happiness spurts.
At this historic moment, we are living through the only time a sitting president has been impeached twice within one term. This validates the pain, struggle, and challenge of the last four years. Being governed by this man and his administration exposes vulnerabilities both personally and politically.
Feeling the need for protection, I wore my blue hoodie and jeans, like I did when I was a kid and I felt scared. This simple uniform has seen me through some of the worst parts of my life. The ritual of dressing becomes another opportunity for self-care and soothing.
How has the second impeachment of this president effected you? What will protect you during this vulnerable time? Ki to Happiness feels invulnerable inside her simple uniform, in yoga practices, aligned with truth.
Presently, we are under the influence of the first new moon of the year. This augurs a time of setting intentions for the next month and year. It falls just as we are preparing for the inauguration next week. In this way, our intentions are likely to affect the whole next administration.
Often, we feel powerless. Instead, on this New Moon let’s call on the strength and resilience that has seen us through until now and direct it toward the heart’s true desires. Health. Peace. Justice. Liberty. Love…
What are your heart’s true desires? Can you take a moment today and envision them being met? Ki to Happiness joins you in your strength and resilience.
Now that we’ve entered Phase 1 of “Healthy Washington” Hatha Yoga Center and other “low risk sports” establishments can have up to 5 “athletes” for practice. This is further encouragement, clarifying the statement our governor made last week.
Safely, our spiritual “athletes”are able to return to HYC and we welcome back our stable group. Private sessions continue. In the other Washington, may such guidelines prevail, so healing can occur as Impeachment looms.
How have the new guidelines effected you? Staying safe as you venture out a bit? Ki to Happiness reopens Hatha Yoga Center.
January 11, 2021 is the first day of our new two phase program of reopening businesses in our state. “Healthy Washington “begins today with new guidelines. If in two weeks, we meet the requirements, we will shift into phase 2.
This enables the Hatha Yoga Center to now allow one student in for class with one teacher. This change will not affect us much, and yet it is encouraging. Especially as the remnants of the Ballet Studio are being removed as they will no longer share this building with us.
How will the new program affect you? What do you find encouraging? Ki to Happiness and Hatha Yoga Center support “Healthy Washington”.
Proceeding during this time of uncertainty, I am prioritizing safety. The potential for another mob of insurrectionists in our nation’s capital has my attention. I am not alone in this, as many are actively securing our democratic republic.
In this Washington, I am safe. Yoga practices bring me to steadiness, keeping up with the daily disturbances.Where ever I am, safety goes with me. A zone of conscious intention surrounds me.
How safe are you now? Can you extend that safety to others? Ki to Happiness extends her portable safety zone to you.
Watching the video of Representative Kim clean the rotunda after the mob insurrection brought me to tears. Grateful for his humility, and his willingness to roll up his sleeves and to do the right thing, moves us. In the right direction…
When one demonstrates an inability to lead or follow, it’s best if they get out of the way. Gracefully on one’s own, or with a police escort are two choices along the continuum. Whatever it takes to clean up the mess must occur. Rep. Kim has shown the way.
Did you see the video, too? We’re you moved, as was I? Ki to Happiness rolls up her sleeves.
Now there’s a fifth person dead from the assault on our capital. Action needs to be taken so that those responsible are held accountable for their actions, their words, as well as their interactions.
My responsibility is to look within in search of compassion for all involved. Healing myself from the various disparate voices within, I find peace. I share that with those I encounter. And I signed a petition.
What peaceful solution can accommodate your differences within? How might that translate to the outer differences in our world? Ki to Happiness is doing her part.
The blue victory is upon the land. No wonder the old guard is distracting us from the new reality. The desire to hold onto the past for those who have been in power is great. The need for release is even greater.
Seeing this playing out on the national stage let’s us know how hard it is to change. In radical compassion for our collective unconscious, I want to express my understanding. In my past, my old guard also felt in charge, and did not give up easily. All these years later, I am relieved to have surrendered into Higher Consciousness, where we all are welcome, and each of us equally matter.
Have you overthrown your old guard? How willingly can you surrender to your Highest Consciousness? Ki to Happiness celebrates each victory.
Today is the feast of the Epiphany. Traditionally it represents the coming together of the three Wise men, representing different races and the different ages of man. All are following the Christmas star, the guiding light, to the babe in the manger, where spirit has become manifest in matter.
Scientific and ethnobotanists consider the evidence pointing toward sacramental use of organic compounds brewed into a cocktail resulted in spiritual guidance and soul vision. Either way, all are welcome to feast on the Highest on this day!
How do you come to soul vision? What is your guiding light? Ki to Happiness opens to the Spirit of Guidance with yoga.
