Implementing the teachings of Yoga in everyday life
Before I found Kundalini Yoga, I was not very intrigued by the idea of yoga. My whole life I felt like I needed to mold myself into forms I did not belong, do things to please others, smile when I felt like crying and finally I just wanted to integrate all the parts that have been abandoned, hurt and rejected.

Life After a Splenectomy
On February 3, 2020 I had a complete splenectomy. My symptoms began in the prior month as mild intermittent pain on my left side. I did not think much of this at first. I was very physically active with two jobs, one as an innkeeper; the other cleaning for my own private clients. In addition to regular daily exercise, it was not uncommon for me to have body aches. I was very active. Over the course of about a week, however, I began experiencing discomfort with breathing and my side pain escalated to the point of me making an emergency room visit. I was hospitalized after a dye contrast MRI found a 5 centimeter cyst on my much enlarged spleen. The normal size is that of about a human fist. Mine was twice that size and I actually felt very full across my entire abdominal area. The next couple of days in the hospital were for observation while I had a complete blood workup, as well as a bone marrow biopsy. There were no significant findings except that I was severely anemic, something that had been an issue much of my adult life. It was decided that a splenectomy would be best so I was given a series of vaccines that are necessary two weeks before the operation and sent home to rest until the procedure.

Lily Dale Assembly
Last summer my son and I took a trip to Lily Dale Assembly located in southwestern New York State. About an hour southwest of Buffalo, Lily Dale sits on the east side of Cassadaga Lake in a town called Pomfret. Lily Dale is the largest center in the United States of Spiritualist church organizations. A home to a large population of healers and mediums, Lily Dale attracts people worldwide on their quest for spirituality and new age interests. Unable to make it again this summer due to travel restrictions, I thought I would revisit through my story, sharing a peek of a genuinely intriguing little place.

Snowflake
I have tennis rackets stuck under my feet. I continuously underestimate how high and far I need to hoist my leg up before taking my next step. Snowshoes are not sneakers, I remind myself. Snow is deceiving. A white, glittery blanket, yet hard and frozen. The snow crunches beneath me with every step.

Mirror Dragon Tarot Free Weekly Reading #31
Reading for 7-20 thru 7-26-27 We are under the influence of two cards of the Major Arcana, The Moon at the center and The Fool in the west position with the 9 of Wands to bring in a sense of personal strength. As always, the Major Arcana cards signify the Big Picture. They denote the lessons we can use to broaden our awareness and wisdom in the mundane, 3D, human world where we live. The deeper understanding triggered by higher influences gives us a more intricate and varied experience of everyday tasks and interactions.

"I Hear You"
For my 27th birthday, me and my mother journeyed to the orange, green, and crimson wonders of Sedona, Arizona. It was a while since I last hung out with her, so I thought a four day trip out of the city together would be a needed break from the world. As a dynamic duo we toured different areas where spiritual energies would be felt. Our first stop was a Buddhist sanctuary dubbed the Amitahba Stuppa near Chimney Rock. The second was a protected ecosystem herald for its' strong electro-magnetic fields. Another was Airport Mesa; which was overrun by tourists. The third was Boynton Canyon; whose silent winds had no echoes still haunt me. Fourth, Cathedral Rock. Fifth, a gemstone shop where I bought my first collection of stones and a crystal. And the sixth, an art gallery that housed amazing ethereal and Native American Art. But none of that will ever beat my next and final experience; at the base of Bell Rock.

Mirror Dragon Tarot Free Weekly Reading #30
The Center card this week is the Lovers. Another one of the Major Arcana, this card gives us a view of the overreaching aspects of the week and has a more powerful influence than the other two -Minor Arcana- cards. The Lovers is about honesty, communication and true partnership. To the degree that we seek to fill holes, imperfections or feelings of lack in ourselves with the attributes of another we cheat ourselves from becoming our best and most complete whole. Conversely, if we choose to partner with someone who needs or expects us to fill spaces within them that they haven’t learned about, healed or maybe even recognized, we aren’t able to interact in a balanced and loving way or receive the love we deserve. As long as we look to fill our lacks and imperfections with someone else we fracture ourselves and remain unfulfilled. This week, with the 2 of Swords and the 8 of Pentacles bracketing the Lovers, it seems that we’re at a point where we have begun being honest with ourselves and, at least recognizing, if not completely embracing, some of what we may see as the “shadow” parts of ourselves. Whether the craziness of this time we’re living in or the necessary shifts in our lifestyles have forced us to pull down the veils we’ve used to hide those dark parts of us, those parts seem to be clamoring to get out. The loving, compassionate and (most of all) accepting influence of the Lovers encourages us to be kind and gentle with the stunted, injured or closeted parts we hold hidden away from ourselves and others. It is in the light of love that the broken, fractured or unacknowledged aspects of who we are can heal.
