Red cardinals and Bluejays often visit me in nature, communicating as they “sing” our connection.I am known to be less than a songbird to sing a song or chant a mantra. My voice is strong with ability to project what I need to say. But when it comes to singing or chanting, I would rather hide or lip sync, fearing others will hear me. I have missed out on the
Photos from Gina’s Tennessee hike up, to get to the cool down, and the vistaIt’s now time to chill down after our yoga practice of building heat to metabolize and detoxify. We did the work, climbed the mountains, generated heat to now enjoy the cooling off phase. We slow down the pace, usually come down to our mats instead of standing and begin our “Cool Down” phase. We have balanced and challenged
Photos from Gina’s recent hike. Mammoth March plants a tree for each participant, 1200 for our hike!My recent adventure in Tennessee relates to our need to warm up to best enjoy the journey. I completed my first professional hike with intent to do my best. I surrendered to the possibility I may not make the “Finish Line” at 20 miles in 8 hours. I have trained on flat lands of
Flowers from Gina’s garden, including the Night Blooming Cactus, so special as we only get to see the blooms once. April Showers Brought May Flowers, new life, new growth. Every morning, it’s the same with our bodies, a fresh new day ahead begins as we begin to warm up, to grow. When we rise, we usually rinse like April showers.

Spring clearing is great for our external space, but our internal body spaces may need extra attention too after a cooler fall & winter season with many associated holidays and celebrations. So this week we begin a series to do this, beginning with spinal movements in yoga asanas (postures). We start with the Twist. Some of you may remember Chubby Checkers hit song and dance in the ’60s, The Twist. But
Clear your space. Clear your mind. Clear your body. Spring Clearing time! Monday, March 20th at 5:24PM EST is Spring or Vernal Equinox as the sun crosses the equator, rising due east, setting due west. A balance of time with equal day and night hours. Let’s look at our own balance of time related to our spaces. My “full” home spaces cause me many distractions, and consume or deplete my time., causing an
Oh, the joy of Springing Forward. Today we find ourselves with less time in our first day into Daylight Savings Time, requiring a big adjustment to our body’s natural Circadian Rhythm (CR). I find it quite challenging for my body and mind to accept this abrupt change to my internal clock, as do many others. First, let’s understand this unnatural time change we all must face. We have a built in
Many have asked, What is Reiki? I light up with this question as Reiki is a such a powerful method for healing on many levels. I have personally experienced and witnessed its positive effects. Whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, even a combination of each, Reiki offers the recipient a proven energy tool for healing.
