Happy May

Fortunately, May opens with some beautiful blessings that set the tone for a month whose theme is abundance, fertility, new growth, beginnings, and the earth. Named after the Greek goddess Maia, the month of May is the start of the growing season so its focus is blooming, and brings upon fresh starts.

May is a month of options, opportunities, and outstanding results when we stay aligned with our highest intentions, stay focused on our creative powers to move and manage energy, to not focus on fear, and remember that we are here to live in joy so make each moment a joyful one. Use your powers of appreciation to raise the vibe and keep your lights shining. Have a wonderful month!!

Infinite Blessings,

Oscar-Themed Party

Grab your crew and host the hottest awards party of the year with an Oscar-themed party. The Academy Awards show is an exciting day for just about everyone, from the movie enthusiast to even the casual movie-goer. All you need are a few Oscar party ideas to make your night just as grand.

Here are FIVE Oscar Party Ideas

Serve Fancy Oscar Eats!

Serve plenty of appetizers, like gourmet popcorn in cute buckets, bruschetta, and tiny fruit parfaits. An Oscar party is the perfect excuse to go all out with a charcuterie board. (If you’re short on time, Trader Joe’s sells a wide variety of frozen appetizers that look as good as they taste). Stick with the Oscars color scheme and use black and gold plates, cups, napkins, and utensils.

Give out Oscars to your Guests

Join in on the fun and give out Academy Awards of your own! Use ballots and envelopes just like the real deal, and make sure everyone gets their nominations in at the beginning of the party. Choose a few popular nominees and come up with some trivia questions about each one. You can also incorporate questions about past winners as well, to be fair to those who haven’t seen all of the recent films. Offer prizes to the winners, such as movie tickets, movie memorabilia, gourmet candy, or DVDs/Blu-rays.

Dress Up!

Break out the formal gowns, suits, tuxedos, heels, and dress shoes. If you’ve got a fun-loving crowd, go for eclectic looks a la Met Gala for a fun twist. Complete your looks with bold lipstick, jewelry, and elegant hairstyles. Encourage everyone to participate in dressing up by having a competition for the title of “Best Dressed.”

Make Movie Magic Drinks

Create some Hollywood- inspired cocktails themed after the nominated movies or past winners. If you have kids at the party, classic virgin drinks like Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers are perfect!) Also, champagne is a must. You can even give everyone their own mini bottles for the party. The right drinks will enhance the evening and add a sophisticated vibe everyone will appreciate.

Take Fun Pictures

All you need are a few fun props like boas and movie scene markers, and you have a fun activity to keep guests entertained before the show begins!

Have a great time and hope you are inspired to have a few friends, a few laughs and cheer on your favorite movies!

Setting Intentions for the New Year!

In today’s yoga class, the teacher suggested that the class set an intention for our yoga practice. The intention was something to come back to, to keep the focus, to take everyone deeper into themselves.

This new year, Gratitude is key for New Year’s intentions. Consider setting a bigger, more comprehensive intention: one to keep you on track for the entire year. New Year’s intentions may be as straightforward as committing to a daily yoga practice, sadhana, to complete a teacher training, or maybe to change some aspect of your lifestyle. You may want to think of your New Year’s intention as a type of New Year’s resolution, emanating from a place of gratitude and self-care.

Gratitude is a multiplier, look for gratitude in all that you have, whatever it is that you feel grateful to, will continue to manifest in your life. Tap into the energy of the heart center, and allow yourself to FEEL the energy that flows from the heart.

Kundalini Yoga offers some wonderful meditations that you can practice to open yourself up to gratitude, and to trust your divine self. One of my favorites is to chant Guru Guru Wahe Guru . 

Trust the Divine Self is a fabulous Meditation for bringing in the attitude of gratitude. Sit in easy pose with a straight spine so that you can practice to open yourself up to gratitude, and to trust your divine self. Meditation: Trust the Divine Self

Happy New Year,

love, k 🙂

Home is the Heart of the Holidays

While Christmas music playlists often include favorites like “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” there are also a handful of tracks that go a deeper.

Listen to “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” or “White Christmas,” and you’ll hear a deep yearning to be home for the holidays especially when having to spend the holidays somewhere else.

December is filled with Christmas rituals – the TV specials, Live Rockefeller Christmas Lightning, the gifts, the lights, the music, fireplace, hot chocolate, snow, and what remains is home. It is the beating heart of the holiday, and its importance reflects our primal need to have a meaningful relationship with a setting, a place that transcends the boundary between the self and the physical world.

Holiday Spirit Blessings,
