Dear Yogis,

I am so happy.  I have taken my life back! Really. I am out of the hands of doctors and I feel fantastic.  For just 3 weeks I was totally deluded and sick from the various HBP medications handed to me because the doctors were fearful.  My BP is higher than normal, it has always been higher than normal – and it puts fear into the hearts of doctors.

After the 2nd vax I had a TIA when my high BP skyrocketed, but I didn’t realise I had a TIA until much later.  I was still gardening, yoga’ing, lifting rocks, doing the things I do.  Luckily I had a doctor at the time who said, “just keep doing what you are doing” – and I have until now.  Unfortunately I had to get a damaged Glute and TFL checked out and at the same time they checked my blood pressure and went into shock.  I however felt happy and fantastic, something I haven’t felt since that moment.  They gave me a barrage of pills as well as oxycodone!  I didn’t take the oxycodone but I did take the others.  They lowered my bp to the point that when I was eating lunch I went to sleep and slipped under the table.  A bridge too far.  I want to know that when I feel something that I am feeling it, and it is not a reaction to a chemical.  Remember,  pain originates in the brain.  Interrupt that, and you are lost in the fog.

So, I am once again my primary physician.  I take herbal teas, vitamin supplements and I feel great.  I can get on with my life.  A wake up call.  I will however see an osteopath to get my bones and muscles put back into place (a physio just seemed intent on looking at one thing – and a body is not “just one thing”).

To come see me, get a plan, a program together for winter, that works for you – email yogafirst2@bigpond.com.  We can do this zoom or FaceTime.

Dear Yogis,

Its winter, and things that are achy get more achy don’t you find.  Fear not.  Take the herbs, do what your mum did, and if you value your sanity, don’t get into the hands of the medicos unless absolutely necessary.  Apart from raising your stress levels, there is nothing much they can do that you can’t do yourself – unless of course it IS a difficult medical question and then they can only do what they are trained to do.  This is difficult to remember when you are sat in the office and feel defensive.  I always have the point of view, we will try it my way and if that doesn’t work we will do it your way.

This has served me well in the past – however, it does take patience and positivity, the willingness to be wrong, and the understanding that “the body is a self healing mechanism’.  It won’t heal if stressed to the max.  That is why I recommend the therapies I use myself.  Reiki, combined with lymphatic massage and sound therapy.  Everyday I use herbs, teas and herbal baths.  I hope you do too.

Dear Yogis,

I hesitate to state the obvious.  It is freezing here.  On Saturday I was up at the Gallery.  You might think is it cold here, but that 12 minutes further “up”, and the wind came right off the snow.  I did have teenagers and not so teenagers come into the gallery with short skirts and no trousers – at that age they don’t feel the cold.

It’s been a long time, but I now have room in my heart and in my home for a tiny OLDER dog.  Maybe a terrier like my beloved Cuba (she was a chihuahua in the front, terrier in the middle, corgi and the back!).  I would prefer an older, tiny foxie maybe from someone going into aged care?  If you know of one, please let me know.

I haven’t been feeling up to par lately, and last night it came to me – the split system doesn’t suit me.  I have never loved it, or how it was installed.  So that is my project for the next week.  To have it checked out.  I have cleaned the filters, but it is something more.  It is making my bones ache, my eyes gluey, and my mind slow.  I never had this problem before it got installed, but it is getting more obvious by the day.  Thank goodness I have the Nectre!

REIKI TRAINING.  I will be starting a studio Reiki class here in August.  Please let me know if you are interested.  No experienced required.  One friday evening per week for five weeks – not just Reiki but also how to incorporate Reiki into your yoga and massage… even distance healing..  An opportunity for a gentle class and catch up.

TAROT APPOINTMENTS.  Stuck? Confused? uneasy about the future?  Please make an appointment and come and see me.  There is only so much time.  Start today.  If you have a RiderWaiteColeman or Revelation Tarot, we could do zoom sessions.    yogafirst2@bigpond.com
