Memory and Brain Health are hot topics. Remember last week’s lesson on learning and retaining tips with M.O.M. (ah, what did you retain?). Supplement sales are big business and pop up first in any internet search. I will leave the recommendations to the nutrition and research experts. Instead, I offer my free Fire up Fingers for Brain Boosters! If you are more dominate in one hand, your opposite brain hemisphere is more developed. To develop
Reminds me of me, a Starseed galaxy gazer.I was always fascinated by our galaxy and adventures beyond our planet earth. I loved the show, Lost in Space years ago. Maybe that’s why I have been told I am a Starseed, a spiritual being from another planet wanting to explore the beyond but stay connected with my purpose here. Tomorrow will be epic for many during a few moments with the total Solar Eclipse. The moon

Spring or Vernal Equinox is Wednesday as our sun passes over our earth’s equator creating equal day and night. Sunrise is due east, sunset due west. Our daylight time becomes longer, our weather warms, our plants and flowers flourish and our bees thrive with the hive! Our pollinator bumblebee is necessary for plant life, therapeutic honey production. The vibration of their wings, up to 130 times per second, spreads the pollen
To get our bodies warmed through breath and movement to honor our life-giving Sun, we reviewed a basic Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar), also known as a Sun A that included a Sun Breath (Half Sun-Salutation) sequence. It includes a flow sequence of Plank, a backbend like Cobra or Upward Facing Dog, and a Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana). Here’s two more great Surya Namaskar options, B & C to advance the sequences. I’m a visual learner so maybe
I love doing anything to enjoy the Sun, it feeds my Soul and where I think “Solar” derived from originally. Without it’s heat, our earth freezes, without it’s light eventually we perish physically, and decline emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Remember how we all felt this winter with El Nino weather patterns and the lack of sunshine? Surya Namaskar helps us ignite our Solar Plexus, rain or shine! Yoga Sun Breaths and Sun Salutations, Surya (Sun) Namaskar (salute or greeting) are

Without debate we contemplate many subjects with just simple straight up talk and respectful listening. We recently reflected on our own beliefs of higher consciousness and what divine forces try to teach us, and what
Svadhyaya in Sanskrit means Self-study. It is one of our Niyamas, behaviors we observe and strive to adopt into our lives as good practice for personal growth and a better way to live. When we explore with open minds through resources available to us, like books or knowledge and wisdom shared by others, then reflect on what it means to us, it’s a form of self-study.

Alignment and Connection have varied meanings at Fusion to find higher levels of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual harmony. We teach as guides to practice as the ancient seer advised in Patanjali’s 8 Limbed Path of Yoga (listed in italics after each practice).
