This past week I experienced hearing sad situations for some of my close Fusion Family and Community. Whether a recent illness, loss of a loved one, a family pet, or a troubled romance. I have had my share of grief and reflect on how I got through it. First, I recognized I had to go through the process and give myself permission to feel. From there I navigated how to get
Balance Asanas are a standard practice in most yoga classes. The transitions and opportunities to find ourselves taking flight on either one leg, one arm or maybe even no legs will challenge our brains. We often focus on body strength, but your brain gets a work out, too! Balancing requires great mental acuity. We must release external and mental distractions, stabilize our energy locks from the ground upward, find a focal point
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
“Brain sensing, storing and storing information for short or long term memory retrieval through neurons and synapses.” Memory issues and methods to protect, preserve and enhance our ability to remember and retain information are hot topics, personal to many, including me. I navigate through many unfamiliar territories easily and try not to panic because I forget a name or walk in a room then ask myself, “why the heck did
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
