ABC it’s easy as DO-RE-MI, 123

Karaoke anyone? How about some dance steps to go along?

  • A small universe … fixing our gaze onto what we turn our attention to – so goes our energy…

“A B C, It’s easy as
1 2 3, as simple as
Do re mi, A B C, 1 2 3″

Jackson 5 – of course ! jingle keeps going in my head !!

“Baby You & Me !”

“Let me tell you what it’s all about
Reading, writing, arithmatic
Are the branches of the learning tree
But without the roots of love everyday girl
Your education ain’t complete” – ABC by Jackson 5

Seriously – “without the roots of love” in learning, nothing is complete for sure …

Often a reference is made as to the “ABC” of Yoga Therapy … in other words, the foundation of yoga therapeutics. I’m happy to go over them in very very cursory manner as take each of them, we can spend a lifetime on mastering:

A for Asana or Action/Movement

B for Breath

And

C for … what ?

What do you think? Any guesses?

Will go over them should there be any interest…

“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 !
