Taking Care of Your Mental Health
I am sure that this something that is on everybody's mind right now. How do I take care of myself when the world is basically falling apart around me? When so many people in the American population just blatantly disregard science in the face of death. Empath's are struggling during this pandemic, everyone is struggling. This is something a vast majority of us have never faced before. Isolation. The separation of us from our loved ones, from our friends.

Tarot Lesson 4
Care and Feeding of Your Deck Presumably at this point in the lessons, you have a deck of your very own! That's exciting, isn't it? Does it feel good in your hands, are you enjoying working with it and getting to know it? Yeah, that sounds weird to a newbie but anyone who has worked with Tarot cards for long will tell you, they have personalities and quirks. There are decks that are blunt and do not give a fuck about your feelings while there are others that are more like that mom friend who tells you the truth but also has a cookie for you. It's fun to discover what kind of deck you have (and it's OK to have several for the sake of those different voices, but we'll cover that in a later lesson).

My health secret: stay fit and mentally balanced
Most of us found yoga through some kind of struggle Health has always been easy for me, and I am very grateful for it. I was never physically sick or had another struggle which might have brought me to the path of yoga. Most Yogis I know, have a sad story behind their first contact with yoga. They struggled emotionally or physically and had great improvements through their yoga journey. In my case I cannot say that I was drawn to yoga to get a cure I was rather drawn by it because it combined spirituality with something tactile. Yoga is so amazing because you can develop spiritually, using the body, the outer layer. Most spiritual practices are very hard for us, as they include concentration, focus and patience. But that’s exactly what most of us lack and which is actually why we want to start on the spiritual path in the first place.

Fear of death: we practice how to die every day.
The fear of death dictates our lives. When we free ourselves from it, we will be free and happy. Everything is a cycle. Everything evolves, dissolves, and transforms. We know the physical laws of creation and destruction very well, but we don’t like to implement this knowledge to our own lives, as it shows us our own momentariness. We are born, live and then we die. When we look at the cycle of life we have to accept our own perishability and this frightens us. Death is the biggest fear we all have to face one day, better sooner than later. All fears we have are originated in the fear of death.

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.

Lets pretend
Lets play pretend, in the land of make believe where we once thought we were safe. Young and alive, and running free. The sun shining on our shoulders as we unknowingly watched our screens, one by one, go from black and white, with an antennae on top, to, fits in a pocket, and can do almost anything.
