“My Whole Soul is In This”

-Joseph R. Biden, Jr. aka “Mr. President” !

Haaahhhh

It’s time for collective sigh of relief…

Phew … finally! Someone with a heart and soul and brains to get us out of this mess.

Thank goodness, Thank God, Allah, Buddha, Zesus, Mother Maria, Diva/Deva, Moses, Guru, Kami, any names of saints and The Devine ! Thank Universe, Thank Higher Consciousness, Thank Sacred Spirit ! What a relief that there’s a leader who is willing to sacrifice his golden years in SERVICE, rather than on a golf course swinging and putting and stirring up chaos. A Leader who is all about Governing and Uniting not dividing and spitting on carnage he tosses aside. Finally a leader who has compassion and sense of duty … and a great deal of experience … called wisdom. We have been living through group trauma and violence … HELL and finally … a huge sigh of relief. It’s going to be challenging ahead still but at the very least, we have a leader who really cares not about his bank account and real estate holdings and tax savings and ego laced power BUT instead is, HUMANE, Decent, cares hugely about public health for all, and brighter future for his children and grandchildren and … his humble place in history to bring this country back on its track to protect Democracy. There’s hope.

Heard somewhere, joy awaits after gratitude. I am filled with gratitude today that our collective nightmare is over. There’s dawn of awakening and new beginning on the horizen and together … we can once again BREATHE. From every pores of our body … and that is HUGE.

Everything happens for a reason and this Pandemic and awareness and realization that comes with this pain and suffering is enormous … Yet, today, there’s a break…in the dark clouds that hang over our sky for such a long long time…

It’s a long awaited day of celebration !

Then, tomorrow, we will get back to work – we got to get this Pandemic behind us so we can once again gather, embrace and hug friends and family.

Today’s New York Times Headlines …

BREAKING NEWS – and this is not fake news, unfortunately…


The death toll from the coronavirus has now surpassed 400,000 in the United States, less than a year after the country’s first known virus deaths.
Tuesday, January 19, 2021 2:52 PM EST
The pace at which Americans have been dying accelerated through the fall and into the winter, exploding to record levels in January.Tuesday’s harrowing milestone came a day after the United States surpassed 24 million total cases.
And we have this outgoing leadership to thank for this utter failure in controlling the spread or fighting this pandemic in any concerted educational (educating the public by doing what’s preached by the health and science experts – wear a mask, keep a distance … common sense, not poltical – making small sacrifices for the greater good). Even today, I see people walking around without a mask; jogging and cycling without a mask, or standing in line with a mask made from crochet of thick yarn with holes all over – minimal coverage – what’s the point to that kind of mask but to get you the pass to get into a grocery store… putting other shoppers at risk.

I am feeling distressed so … I have to go do my practice. What does that look like?

-Gentle Movements

-Cleansing Breath

-Breathwork (pranayama)

-Vibrational attunement

-Soundwork

-Meditation (guided is nice …)

-Rest

-Pray (or intention setting, affirmations, mantra chants)

If you have a partner or family member, perhaps offering Reiki or some sort of tender touch therapy would be helpful … or … PET a fuzzy friend ! Finally what we cannot do with friends … give and receive bear HUGS !

Today

Today, we honor Martin Luther King, Jr. – an activist, who with civil and peaceful means, fought for civil rights and justice for all. In yoga definition, he’s an authentic Karma Yogi – Dr. King took action to peacefully fight for justice, never stooping low by resorting to hate or violence in spite of many injustices and inhumane treatment he (Dr. King assasinated 4/4/1968 – shame) and his movement endured.

There are many things wrong right now but I am happy that at the very least, we are doing something right in honoring him and his movement, with today’s holiday dedicated to rememberance of this peaceful soldier of peace and justice. This way, every child will learn about him in schools、and that’s a cause for Hope. Today, as we celebrate this working holiday, it’s a reminder that people today are still fighting and struggling about the same issues and true resolution and co-existance and harmony has not emerged – YET. Rather, the current Pandemic has brought on the old chasms and bruises and hurt on still unhealed wounds.

Many today, due to the public crisis may not be (wisely) out of the streets protesting but the sense of pride and honor we feel for this Amercian hero is felt deeply. “I have a dream”, his famous speech, still relevant today 2021 as it was in 1963.

PBS has a great piece – here it is !

It’s a good day to have a conversation, a dialogue with all people whatever differences in views and opinions we hold, we do have a common goal don’t we? To put this Pandemic behind us and have a world that’s in alignment with our true values of justice, merit-based equality, liberty and community health and prosperity – our goal, I don’t think is to destroy those who you do not agree with but really share the truth and learn from history and advance, together. I really don’t think one group of people can have 99.9% of resources and opportunities and rest imporvished and call it a harmony and peace… that’s the injustice. Or what you hear where top 3% of Americans own vast majority of wealth – how is that sustainable? How does the 97% put up with it? By having the truth be shrouded and confused, their emotions manipulated and reactive – losing sight of our common shared community ethos. Praying for health and wellness in all facets of our lives this new year – pray pray pray … and act even in a small way … that makes a positive difference to somebody small scale is good – no matter how small, even just a drop, each act of kindness and awarenss – they have a rippling affect to create a wave of positive change to be in that flow of light at this time of darkness.

Today, I am filled with gratitude for those who fought the fight for us like MLK, like RBG, like Fred Korematsu, like … luckily there are so many to name ; for those, in spite of the holiday is working today as a front-line healthcare workers and essential workers to keep us safe and well. And those, not afraid to speak up and stand up for justice and fair play.
