On this first day of summer 2024, my yoga instructor Chris reminded us that energy is building due to three key events this June. One is the auspicious Summer Solstice on 6/20, two is International Yoga Day on 6/21, and three is the Full Moon (Strawberry moon) on 6/22. Wow, now I know why our 2 kitties have been going crazy in the house this past week!

The heat waves in the US are upon us and this increase in cosmic and thermal energy can add to the turbulence and the temperature in our lives. My advice is to be extra mindful of your hydration levels and strive to temper your responses to stress with pauses and deep breaths.

While in the middle of this three-fer event, I’d like to make 3 wishes for the world:

1. Patience
2. Tolerance
3. Compassion

“Patience is not simply the ability to wait- it’s how we behave while we’re waiting”. – Joyce Meyer

“In the practice of tolerance, one’s enemy is the best teacher.” – Dalai Lama

“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” -Dalai Lama
