Dear Yogis,

It is Christmas break. STUDY THE GITA WITH US – the third time through this amazing text.Every Monday at 6.30 on zoom (by donation).

Let us take a voyage through the sacred texts together—not to go back in time, but rather to discover how this universal ancient wisdom can spark the answers we need to live more fully today. Explore how these teachings can help in every area of life: work, family, relationships, emotions, spirituality…

We start by studying the book The Bhagavad Gita, which shares the interpretation of this scripture by Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the bestselling classic Autobiography of a Yogi.

What is the Bhagavad Gita? The Bhagavad Gita is an ancient scripture based on the conversation between the God-like being Krishna and the leader of the Pandava army, Arjuna, as they begin the war of Kurukshetra in the longest epic in the world, the Mahabharata. This battle is an allegory of the spiritual path with the five Pandava brothers trying to overcome the bad habits represented by their cousins, the 100 Kaurava brothers. The Pandava brothers each stand for one of the first five chakras and represent the more positive qualities of man like divine calmness and self-control.

Krishna imparts his wisdom upon Arjuna as if he is a devotee seeking the true path towards enlightenment. Their conversation reveals a greater universal understanding of meditation and life. It leaves the space for us to choose how to apply that knowledge to our own lives and discover our fullest potential.

Why I study the Bhagavad Gita: This book has made it easier for me to relate to the spiritual path because it does not command us exactly what to do. It invites us to share the consciousness that we wish to uphold, and then it is up to us to figure out how to apply that understanding in our own unique way in each of our lives.

It can transform your life by inviting a deeper grasp of truth, of other people and of how to relate most smoothly and calmly to this world. It can guide to create a life with less tension where grace flows more smoothly and effortlessly. It helps in the quest to understand how a meditation practice relates to daily life. It invites you to share more love. It has layers of depth so it can be read over and over with something new to learn and comprehend each time. I wish everyone could share the potential ease in life gained from the wisdom in this book.

Is the Bhagavad Gita Timeless? With over 23 million people watching Game of Thrones, why do we question if people would be interested in reading about outdated battle scenes or ways of living. Of course, the ancient scripture, Bhagavad Gita, is not meant for entertainment, but to find an understanding that awakens people to their highest possibilities. I believe the intention behind the Bhagavad Gita is to lay a supportive foundation that can be applied to any path and any life.

THE GITA. I look forward to embarking on this voyage with you! Email for an appointment over Christmas (a great present). yogafirst2@bigpond.com

YOGIS,

The economy is as they say “going down the toilet”. The NDIS and other government departments are pulling back, this added to interest woes (which are ongoing) means folk are losing their jobs, but we are still here. It isn’t easy, however, there are people who have looked around for help in moving forward and chosen the TAROT, and we can help with that. I even had a client from Melbourne on the weekend who wanted a GITA Wisdom Deck reading – and fantastically my students and I are well placed to help. It is more about the senses than a Rider Waite reading, more about ethics and well suited to a business reading which is what I was asked to do.

However – whichever kind you want, now maybe the time – perhaps you have a few days break and can come see me, or zoom. Please email and make an appointment yogafirst2@bigpond.com

NAMASTE – JAHNE

Dear Yogis,

Christmas is coming and I get asked for all kinds of things – thank you. Tarot Readings (I especially like doing these at this time of the year), paintings, sewing… thank you all so much. Everything helps me keep on with yoga and working with my students.

ARTIST DENIM CARRY BAG.….I am making a recycled denim carry bags to accomodate a medium size canvas (if you want bigger I can make to order) – mostly because I needed some (more than one). This 25inch x 25 inch bag(or larger by personal order) is a must have for any artist like me who takes work to galleries, clients and shows, it makes transporting art a breeze. This sturdy bag made of recycled denim, will carry a stretched canvas with ease. Very wide 2.5 inch straps keep the bag in place on your shoulder and thick study denim fabric serves to protect paintings during transport. Cost $62.50 including postage. The one in the photo is black, but my bags are usually denim fabric colour – like jeans. Sometimes I can get black, not often.

This carry bag is an absolute necessity for any artist, particularly those who regularly participate in art shows. It will make a fantastic gift for any artist on your list! I started making these bags for myself because I am frequently setting up at my art shows by myself. I am able to carry six canvases at a time, three on each shoulder, making set up, tear down and storage very efficient. When others want to help, this bag is very easy, visible, and minimises theft and damage.

My denim bag is so much easier to store than traditional hard sided portfolio bags, I have these and they just take up space – and at my place space it at a premium. These denim bags just fold or roll up and can be tucked away until needed. Both stylish, practical and long lasting… the denim will live for a very long time,

This sturdy bag can also be used to store art pieces, and help to reduce our reliance on plastic packaging – every little bit helps the environment! and it helps to re-use discarded denim. To order yours contact yogafirst2@bigpond.com (You will know my bags, they all have a little silk golden angel logo sewn into them).
