Fusion enters our 12th year! That’s right, it was also on a Monday, March 31st, 2014, that I excitedly opened our doors for our unique way to explore wellness and restore with Fusion Yoga & Wellness. Your other home, your sanctuary away from home. I said to myself with faith, “if I build it with pure intention, they will come”. And you did. Thank you! I practiced then and now, the
A lie just feels wrong. I remember the guilt I still have today from when I was 7 years old. I hid something from my mother for a dumb reason and didn’t admit I knew where it was when asked. When I found out someone innocent was going to take the blame, I put it back when she wasn’t looking. Still deceptive. I did not feel like I “got away
Our beautiful planet’s vulnerable Wildlife Kingdom Meet, Mr. Miyagi, my sweet water bound Betta friend for the last 10 months. He’s my first pet since losing my favorite cat of 17 years, Kitty who lived through what felt like Nine Lives for both of us. I may not have dogs anymore but relate to the connection we have with our other “family members”. Sounds silly, but I love Mr. Miyagi
Ever feel a bit more moody with a full moon or a lunar eclipse like we just experienced? I do. Our moonlight and our bodies shift as the moon’s surface darkens or glows from reflective light and location with our sun. We both react to the gravitational pulls and the changes in light we receive. Our earth is covered by about 71% water according to NASA, of which about 96% is
Our Mr. Froggy mascot is always seeking wisdom (a gift from my dear friend Tammy) As I write this blog as I do always, I begin as a Wisdom Seeker. I must find interest in the topic, research for truth, attempt to experience personally, then simplify and share any wisdom if welcomed. If it doesn’t interest me, I usually go no further. If it does, look out as I can
My 1st and favorite quartz crystal I acquired on Maui, 1988 reminds me of my Soul Star Yes, there’s an 8th, your Soul Star, Viyapani Chakra, sometimes called the Seat of the Soul. Recognizing my star helps me understand I am part of something so immense and infinite, not separate. My aura. I was always fascinated by religious and spiritual art illustrating halos, yet thinking they were only for angels
Tada! We arrive at our Crown, the 7th of our major Chakras. Glowing lustrous violet hues form into a pure white royal crown found at the top center of our head, and slightly above. Our Crown Jewel, Sahasrara (Suh-has-ra-ra) meaning a thousand petals and represents Higher Consciousness, Enlightenment, ultimate and divine connection with a higher power. Maybe you call this power, God, Creator, All Knowing, Spirit, Consciousness or something else
Always curious about mysticism, history and science, I was fascinated by references of a 3rd Eye in ancient art and cultures like the Mayans, Greeks, Asians and Hindus. I needed proof. I researched to find evidence of our Pineal Gland (pin-ee-uhl) located at the brain’s center the size of a pea, shaped like a small pine cone with microcrystals. Like an “eye” this gland senses and responds to light. This
My double rainbow in St. Thomas, where the ocean touched the sky. When I first heard about Chakras many years ago, and even in Yoga Teacher Training, I honestly didn’t get it, or buy into the supposed colors, purpose, etc. for each area of 7 Major Chakras. One day in the streets of Rome I had my “aha!” moment. There were individual colored flags around the Forum and I got
Temple of Dawn in Bangkok, Thailand, named for the stunning way it appears at dawn as light shines upon it to reveal its magnificence. Change is one of our best teachers, encouraging us to grow instead of remaining stagnant. In younger days I ran from change. A new schoolteacher, friends, season changes, moving, you name it. I cringed, preferring predictability for comfort. I moved to Asia at 7 years old, crying
