Dear Yogis,

We in Regional Victoria are living nearly normal, but the greater Melbourne area still can’t (theoretically) travel to the Regions although I know a flurry of permits are being issued as we speak to people for a myriad of reasons, even to “inspect” their holiday homes.  I do know that I will doing my shopping this afternoon and going nowhere near Woodend over the weekend as i imagine it will be “Covid Central”.  I really do feel for people in shops and in supermarkets as they have to deal with this.

SCHEDULE
STUDIO: Monday 1pm, Wednesday and Friday at 5.30.  We now can invite you to come if you have been staying away due to Covid style booking and numbers.  We can now take a full class.

ZOOM STUDY:  Friday 6.45 Tarot Class, Sunday 10am CCP, Monday 6.30 Teacher Training, Tuesday 7.30 CCP.

OXYGEN THERAPY
I have always have to know “Why”.  I have studied most of the world’s spiritual teaching and along the way learned many types of healing alongside my studies in yoga.  In the past 60 and more years I have studied and read many books on alternative healing and I am back to the beginning.  Back to where I started.  The healing methods of the older women in our family, especially (?) my mother.  These women who in older times would have been burned as witches knew many things about herbs and healing, and mum added Oxygen Therapy to this.  I didn’t understand what she was doing.  I now have a glimpse.

In order to test my theories, I am doing what mum did, and I am monitoring the results by means of basal temperature taking daily.  I will be doing a chart, and I will be sharing it with you.  Basal temp doesn’t just tell us about our fertility, it can also tell us about our core health, and allow us to monitor and clear up any toxic waste.   Clues we can get no-where else, and way ahead of when an infection become noticed physically.  I believe in the years ahead we have to look at any therapy that allows us to be personally aware and responsible for our own health.  This will do it.  If you want to join me you will need a digital basal temperature thermometer ($11.95 at Guardian Chemist where I bought mine), and download a temperature chart.  I have one that incorporates acupuncture on it as I go to an acupuncturist, and it may skew the results.  We will see.

TAROT
Don’t forget I have TAROT CHARTS, A WEEK AHEAD TAROT SPREAD page, and a DAILY TAROT DRAW page.  All these are available to help you journal and you can download them for very little cost from www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

I look forward to working with you.  Keep an adventurous spirit…. someday your life may depend on it.  

 

NAMASTE.  JAHNE

 

 

 

Dear Yogis,

Today is the day when the Greater Melbourne area are allowed out of their tough lockdown.  They still can’t visit regional areas, although I know a lot of Melbourne folk who are coming up this weekend “to check on their holiday homes”.  So, Woodend and surrounds are going to be definitely out of bounds for me – it will be COVID CENTRAL.

SCHEDULE:  
ZOOM:  Friday 64.5 Zoom FREE Tarot class, Sunday CCP Study Group, Monday 6.30 Teacher Training.
STUDIO: Wednesday 5.30, Friday 5.30

TAROT CHARTS
The Friday Nite Tarot class is getting better and better, and last week I introduced a Tarot Chart.  It was met with great enthusiasm, and so I tidied up my notes, and made them into a book for use in the coming classes… 

I have put the book on ETSY (www.myyogabooks.etsy.com).   These charts include matching the Revelation Tarot to the chakras, a few methods of reading to tidy up our lives, and a way of seeing into the future, as well as finding how the world sees us. It is serious and it is fun and it is only $7.50.

If you read for others already this will give more insights, and if you have always wanted to read for others, these charts will give you a good starting point.  I know you will enjoy them.  I have even left a few places where you can add your own images…to make it more personal. Go to etsy and have a look.  You could download and use the pages in a journal to make the charts uniquely your own.  I could help you make it into a journal?

If you need a reading – I am available.  We could even use the charts.  If you want a special “HOW-TO”  class in using the charts and doing readings, we can zoom one just for you.  Let me know.

REMEMBER – NOTHING HELPS EXCEPT PRACTICE.  If the Dalai Lama takes off 6 months each year for concentrated practice and retreats (which he does, over and above daily practice), imagine how much work and practice the rest of us need!  Even if you are not a meditator or a yogi, if you read the tarot, are a long distance runner, whatever –  whatever you do needs practice.  Talent won’t get you there – discipline, diligence and courage (and patience) is what you need.  Edison made 950 light globes before one worked.  He did not consider the 950 which did not work failures, just steps, without which he would never have discovered how to make the one that did work.

I will see you on the mat.

NAMASTE.  JAHNE

 

 

 

 

 

 Dear Yogis,

Things are changing Covid-wise but I must be mentally dead because it all seems a muddle to me.  Some people can do this, some can do that, some have no change – all except NSW who are doing whatever they feel like.  It is interesting that Dom Perrottet took a request to the GG for a December Federal Election.  Could be time.  I guess he would throw his hat in the ring and there would be no better time than now for Dom – he is the flavour of the month! Anything could happen.

SCHEDULE:

ZOOM: Monday 6.30 teacher training, Tuesday 7.30 CCP, Friday our (Luscious) tarot Class, Sunday CCP Study.
STUDIO: *Monday 1pm yoga , Wednesday 1pm (full), *Wednesday/*Friday 5.30 Yoga (we will be opening *Monday/*Wednesday and *Friday to more students…please book now).

There is a lot of interest in a STUDIO ART/TAROT CLASS.
Please email me.  Is the 6th of November at 2pm a possible for you? Email: yogafirst2@bigpond.com

 

ART PRINTS

CHRISTMAS is coming and I have been scrambling through my storage archives (theoretically decluttering) and came across some vintage prints that have just been sitting waiting for me to do something….  I might have a little Studio Exhibition or just put them all up on Etsy or my web site and see if i can sell them.  I bought most overseas, and apart from being vintage, old and masterful…. they are lovely.

The one to the left is the largest 460mm x 440mm.  A print after  “The Presentation of the Virgin” by Tintoretto painted in about 1556..  By the look of all the mothers and babies in the picture, it doesn’t mean now what it did then..  I can’t see a date at all, and by a little mark in the bottom right hand corner,  it seems to be an artist’s proof.    There is a little turn in the top right hand corner, and a tiny tear in the border top centre, but apart from that, little damage – extraordinary for a print that has done the miles that this ones has.. The original painting was mentioned in Vasari’s work “The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects”.

This print was pressed from a metal plate and you can see the plate mark all around.  Very fine work, black and white which has mellowed with time – but no foxing or insect damage.  I will post it in a roll but well packed – a larger flat pack would add too much to the postage costs.  The paper is substantial so should lay flat again easily for framing.  If you are interested, the cost $175 including postage and packing in Australia.

HIS DARK MATERIALS

On Sunday morning in our usual CCP STUDY GROUP, among other topics we discussed Philip Pullman’s work “HIS DARK MATERIALS”.  In this trilogy he floats the idea of “a republic of heaven”.    We have to build the republic of heaven where we are, because for us there is no elsewhere … He (Lord Asriel) meant the kingdom of heaven was over, the kingdom of heaven was all finished.  We shouldn’t live as if it mattered more than life in this world, because where we are is always the most important place….”

 

SEE YOU IN HEAVEN – ON THE MAT

NAMASTE, JAHNE
