 Daily Reflection – Gratitude, Healing & Confirmation

Today is a beautiful day. I woke up around 2 a.m., and by 2:22 I was already on the mat. As always, I began with gratitude, saying “thank you” while looking up at the stars.

Lately, my body feels stiff when I wake up—maybe from the bench I sleep on, or the medicine—but before I even step onto the mat, I have to stretch hard, really opening my body. At first I worried it might be arthritis, but once I stretched deeply and got into my yoga practice, I felt my body opening and healing.

This morning I did about 650 push-ups alongside my yoga. Then the Crown Bird appeared again, this time as a confirmation that my body is healing. To honor the vision, I held a Crown Pose with strength I didn’t have before. The message I received was clear: my body is healing.

The Crown Bird

In the stillness of my practice today, the Crown Bird appeared once more. The last time it came, I did not have the strength to hold the Crown Pose. But today, I honored its presence with the pose, and it confirmed a deep truth: my body is healing.

The Crown Bird is more than a vision; it is a reminder of wealth, renewal, and divine confirmation. Just as my body opens through discipline and devotion, so too does my spirit open to receive the message: healing is here, and abundance is near.

I continued my yoga joyfully, chanting. Later at church, the reading came from St. Paul’s Letter to the Thessalonians and the Gospel according to Matthew. When the preacher spoke about the body being the temple, it felt like yet another confirmation for me. The only strange part was noticing that the preacher himself didn’t seem to live by that teaching—though I say that without judgment.

As I left, I carried that excitement and confirmation with me.

Peace,
