Dear Yogis,

You may be suffering COVID FATIGUE but I saw this hidden away on twitter, and thought you may be interested.  This virus is the same as most other virus, it causes complications in the body that don’t manifest for years, so we mustn’t get complacent.  It is important we keep up our supplementation, and look after our nutrition especially if at any time we have tested positive, or imagine that we have gone through some part of the process without actually testing positive. 

 

THE STUDIO/YOGA SCHEDULE FOR THIS WEEK.
ZOOM, FRIDAY 6.45 Tarot – we are going to do a business/life spread and interpret it.
STUDIO, FRIDAY 5.30 Yoga.  SUNDAY 12pm to 4pm A drop in time.  Take the opportunity to come see me, discover what we do here, see the ION-KI FOOT CLEANSE, the Tattoo designs, and maybe discuss Tarot.  Whatever you like.  I am here for the ‘tour”.

 

GARLIC GROWING
This is a modern Russian Gardeners idea, and I like it.  Cut an empty drink bottle in half use the funnel stopped with a wick made of cotton wool or as I have, paper towel,  to hold the garlic cloves.  You can peel the cloves or not, I don’t.  You will see little shoots appearing, and the roots going down.   Once you see the roots you can take out the wick and let the roots spread.    Then plant them.  This in the photo is Elephant Garlic – BIG.

The plastic bottle and the garlic is quite attractive, and you could have a few on the windowsill, they look good.

 

VEGETABLE BOXES
Here is my new vegetable box.  I have two, quite a size.  They were a birthday gift from a student, and I imagined what would arrive would have been  a considerably smaller model, but no, these are full size, and a much sturdier construction than my house actually – “well built” would be an understatement!  Many thanks to Mark and Katie who moved them into position for me.  They had the proper “piano moving” equipment, so it was relatively easy.   I think I will paint them to blend them into the garden a bit more, or paint them terra-cotta to accentuate the positive.

I put one in full sun and I am going to grow potatoes and artichokes in it.  Potatoes to build the soil in the first instance.  The one in the photo is in dappled shade, so,  comfrey, gotu-cola, and cranberries will be the first things I put here.  Also I will also use it to mature white raspberries, (my new fruiting bushes), prior to putting them in the garden.   It has made me think about the various spaces much more, and how to best use the areas in the garden I already have.   They are a work in progress.

I am talking now with John about trialling a Kenyan top box bee hive for him.  I have two places in the garden it can go….

 

When you come for your IONIC FOOT CLEANSE, your Bach Remedies or a Yoga Class, you are welcome to look around the garden…  Or you can just come and talk herbs with me.  Love to see you.

 

SEE YOU IN THE GARDEN.

NAMASTE – JAHNE

 

 

 

 

Dear Yogis,

What can I say – another beautiful day in “paradise”, and rain is forecast for the end of the week… if it rains at night before then that will be especially welcome, not because of the temperature, but because of the fire danger – we are getting to the “iffy” part of the year (“Ash Wednesday” usually High Fire Danger time – is still vivid in my memory banks).  Ash Wednesdaywhich occurs after Shrove Tuesday is always 46 days before Easter Sunday and marks the beginning of Lent.  This year it falls on March 2nd.   I always breathe a sign of relief after February has come and cone with no fires of consequence. There are always smaller fires, and we have already had a few.

SCHEDULE:  
YOGA: Monday 1pm, Wednesday 5,30 and Friday 5.30
ZOOM: Monday 6.30 The Gita, Tuesday 7.30 Herbs and Friday 6.45 Tarot
SUNDAY: SUNDAY OPEN STUDIO from 12 noon to 4pm. – please book a time although there is lots of inside and outside space, even if it rains which is forecast.    I have potted up some Bach Herbs for sale, I have the fungi Poster on beautiful paper, paintings, and some very interesting collectibles.  You can see the Foot Cleanse – you can have one before or after the open studio (please book), see the tarot designs…  a chance to catch up after Covid.

STILL DETOXING:  When am I going to stop? Answer?  When the water in the foot cleanse becomes worth looking at.  At present it is still dark coloured, and more flecks appearing than in the beginning which I read as being the cleanse underway.  The result of seeing this mucky water is to make me consider even more carefully what I eat.  No supermarket fish three times a week – which is the only (known) source of heavy metals occurring at present… although I probably have got some stored in my cells which are cleansing – plus I have one mercury filling which may be leaking.. probably time to have it removed. The photo is at an odd angle, but it gave the best view keeping the overhead light out of view.  You can see the black flecks, which are the heavy metal deposits escaping…

Since I have been cleansing in this way I have felt more energised, more capable and (if i can say it – ) YOUNGER!, and who doesn’t need this? My memory is also much better, and I get to the end of the day feeling better and have given up the “nanna naps”. I have time, and would love clients who are able to come for a session with me.  The cleanse takes half and hour, I include a Bach remedy to help you adjust to the new you when you get home, and to help the process on its way.  You will feel different, work differently, and approach your life more positively.  And yes, it has helped me get rid of a kilo or two painlessly.  Email me for an appointment.  yogafirst2@bigpond.com

MOON CHARTS:

I was working on my to-do list and my year ahead list.  I usually give a nod to the moon charts, and thought I would pay more attention this year.  All I found was confusion caused by the Southern Hemisphere and Northern hemisphere rotations and shadows.  Even people like Biddy Tarot (an Australian) only gives northern charts, probably because most of her members are overseas.

So, I have finished the easy to read drawings of the luna map from the South Skies, ours,  and will get them printed asap.  I put the beginnings of them on my instagram account if you want to visit me there and see what I have been up to.  My “Late Night Drawing” sessions have been very productive.

TODAY:  I really do hope that you are making your way profitably through your covid experience. A cleanse would be of help if you live close enough.  I am due for a medical assessment at the end of the month and i will be very interested after the Vax, the cleansing and the “NEW” me.  

PS: I am in conversation with Thermomix with regards to working with them on THE HERBAL/BACH WAY.  No-one has tackled this, and see so many of you have a Thermomix, this may be interested.

SEE YOU AT THE OPEN DAY

NAMASTE. JAHNE

 

 

Dear Yogis,

I know its Saturday and I usually don’t post on a Saturday, but today I want to share with you a great step forward…. I don’t know if you remember the remedial foot-spa I had a number of years ago (if you recall I gave it to a student to start them on their professional health career), However, I missed it and as I have been dealing with a number of aggravating symptoms some have put down to “age”, I bought another one.   I thought with covid, I would like to know that my system was as well, and as clear as I could make it. The foot-spa cleanses at another level, and I think it is very beneficial.

The ionic theory states that the ions travel through the body attaching themselves to toxins (out of polarisation charge) substances, thereby neutralising their toxic effects.  These toxins are expelled throughout your body’s natural excretory pathways, and in this case the pores of our skin around the feet.

Of course the medical profession disagrees with the thought that it may be of any use whatsoever,   but you only have to look at the water to know something is happening.  What exactly is happening perhaps harder to say.  It works perhaps in the same way as the Japanese foot patches…  whatever the explanation, it gets results.  I have been struggling with a feeling of fatigue especially in the morning, and a deep joint pain in my big toe on the left hand side.  Both much improved after only one session.  Plus, I can clearly see the prana in the air again, and speaking with my guides (and pendulum) are much enhanced.  I feel closer… But that is just me. 

The body has its own healing system, and as I tell my students every day in yoga, it is a self-healing mechanism – however, this spa enhances the system.  With all the toxins we face every day in the environment, detoxing is important.  This spa is recommended for symptoms such as unexplained fatigue, aching body, sluggish elimination, bags under the eyes, distended belly even if you are thin, mental confusion etc.

At the left above is a photo of the foot-spa after my first cleanse on myself – the water started clean and clear.   If you could look closely you would see white cloudy bits (lymphatic toxins), black flecks (heavy metals – lots of these), and the orange colour is toxins from the joints and cartilage.   The heavy metals? probably from fish – I eat quite a lot, so I will cut back on fish and watch for a change in the water (reduced black flecks).   You can only have a treatment a couple of times a week, so I will report and take a photograph of my next spa.  I am as interested as you may be.

Detoxification is about resting, cleaning and nourishing the body from the inside out. By removing and eliminating toxins, then feeding your body with healthy nutrients, detoxifying can help protect you from illness and renew your ability to maintain optimum health. It is not just about one thing, and it is not a Harry Potter magic wand.  The spa may remove the toxins, it is up to you not to put them back…. the spa is a maintenance thing.  

If you would like to share this wonderful spa with me,  please make a booking for a session.  The spa will take half an hour, (you can photograph the result), and you will get a Bach flower remedy to take home which will help to bring your body and mind back into balance – I am sure that you will feel much different.  Altogether the session could take an hour.  This is not something that can be achieved on zoom (!) and of course the covid requirements apply if you plan to come for a session.  For deep seated issues, it may take more than one session over a series of weeks…
$85 per session which includes a Bach Flower Remedy.  

I look forward to seeing you.
NAMASTE. JAHNE
