Yoga With Jennifer Bell-Harding

Happy Friday 13th!

This is a sacred day of divine feminine energy, representing intuition, lunar cycles (13 moons per year), and the reclaiming of feminine power from historical superstitions. Friday is named after Freya (Norse) and is associated with Venus, and Goddess energy. On Friday mornings, my yoga practice honours fertility, beauty, abundance, and dharma by connecting with the Divine Feminine energy of Lakshmi.

The Spiritual Significance of Friday the 13th - Forever Conscious Artwork by Joseph Tomanek Is there something to fear on Friday the 13th?

Recovery after brain injury isn’t linear — it can feel confusing, isolating, and exhausting. But you don’t have to walk it alone.

These classes are small, trauma-sensitive, and fully adaptable.

How to lead peacefully: Verse 30 of the “Tao te Ching” by Stephen Mitchell.

Pronouns updated by me.

Whoever relies on the Tao in governing (citizens)
doesn’t try to force issues
Or defeat enemies by force of arms.
For every force this a counterforce.
Violence, even well intentioned,
Always rebounds upon oneself.

The Master do their job
and then stop.
They understand that the universe
is forever out of control,
and that trying to dominate events
goes against the current of the Toa.
Because they believe in themselves,
they don’t try to convince others.
Because they are content with themselves,
they don’t need other’s approval.
Because they accept themselves,
the whole world accepts them.

I am curious why Magnetricity (the flow of magnetic monopoles as the magnetic equivalent of electricity) has not been pursued as an alternative way to generate energy to heat our homes and transport us? It would reduce our dependence on fossil fuels even make solar panels more efficient. Scientists have known about it since 2009.
