Good morning Yogis,

Yoga luncheon this coming Thursday, 12noon at the Victoria in Woodend. The last one for the year. I hope those of you who have been putting it off all year can join us.

“A Universal theology is impossible… but a universal EXPERIENCE is not only possible, but necessary”. …from a “Course in Miracles”.

Over the last few months, the number of distressed people coming to yoga/healing has increased. Anxiety is in the air and the sensitive pick it up, and personalise it. No matter what difficulties we face as a nation and/or individuals from an economic, emotional or material standpoint, there has been no better time than NOW to join with SOURCE – no matter your view or name for this fundamental energy.

We encourage everyone to accelerate their spiritual practices and work hard to achieve a personal (and global) healing. This is not about coming into agreement with anxiety (commonly called Sympathy, often mistaken for empathy), but moving towards a shared experience of Source.

We all make mistakes, take inappropriate action and move in the wrong direction at some time. Correction is up to us. Realise your mistake, realign to your true nature and your true course. Correction or healing cannot take place until you realise and fully understand what the illusion of sickness was for. THE REASON FOR THE SEEMINGLY WRONG TURN.

Turn back, begin again – even if you must begin at the very beginning. Above all else be thankful. Gratitude is the release from both guilt and sickness. Remember that your first step may be the one leading to us. I am available (around consultations and classes) at a time to suit us both for PPT (Reiki/energy healing), Bach Flower Remedies and yoga. All by appointment. Please, dip your toe into this energy.

I will see you on the mat.

NAMASTE. JAHNE

Dear Yogis,

With snow on Mt.Macedon, rain, rain, rain here and no sunlight, we play the “what if” game. What if the electricity goes out, what if the water gets higher, what if it snows again, what if, what if, what if. For myself I am very pleased that I have my little wood stove. It is a small thing, but it does make me a little bit independent in a very simple way. What about you?

Don’t forget that we have our last YOGA LUNCH this coming Thursday at 12 noon. You are most welcome to join us at The Victoria Hotel in Woodend. If you have not been before, please let me know that you will be coming. We have been holding these lunches monthly for a very long time. We started when there was a restaurant in Tylden, and we have kept the practice up in spite a few lapses. It is a lovely time. If you come late, or leave early it doesn’t matter, even if you just drop in to say Hi and have a coffee. It is a lovely social get-together. It is not about me – it is about you.

THE WORST MAY BE OVER, but we are still faced with covid (new strains) plus colds and flu. Don’t forget all the natural tips I have been giving you. The Lemon, grapefruit, orange cure/zinc/olive leaf extract. Everything there except the zinc you can get from the garden. If you want some help, please email me and we will chat. Mostly we are immunised, but that doesn’t help us with the flu and we need annual boosters, and i guess that is what it will be like with covid at least for a while. However, there is lots you can do for yourself. I have stockpiled the olive leaf extract (so much better than the Coles variety), and have the orange mix always cooking away. You can too. Email me: yogafirst2@bigpond.com

BEARS FOR CHRISTMAS
If you or your group need bears to put under the Christmas tree, bears for refugees, those in hospital, or whomever, please let me know. I do plan to give away as many as I can. They are all washed, renovated, cleaned, just waiting for a tree to sit under and a child (or adult) to love.

No charge – you can have a BUNDLE OF BEARS. Donations welcome of course which make it easier for me to get more…

I need you to respond if you are interested – if not, I will spend the time in the garden myself, just me and the garden spirits.

See you at the Studio.

NAMASTE – JAHNE

Hi there Yogis,

Another beautiful day in “paradise”. I am sooo busy.

THE CLERICAL STOLE: I have almost finished the clerical stole – and it will be delivered on Saturday! I will feel lonely without it. Once it has been delivered I will be able to show you a photograph.

I feel very justified in doing it all by hand. It has taken many many hours to complete the task when it would have been much speedier to have whipped it up on the machine and added a few gold lame odds and ends as was suggested to me. This is a very symbolic item, and will get more beautiful as it ages I am sure. I am hoping I get asked to do another now that I know the method better. If you want a stole to wear when you are being a CCP, visiting the sick and dying, or you are Ministering to others maybe as a funeral celebrant…. or want to give a gift to your Church, then this may be an idea.

BEARS: Christmas is coming and if any of you belong to service clubs, or need bears to hand out to children or needy families, please let me know. I do have small bears which would be perfect for this task. Email me to make a time to collect a bundle of bears for under your tree. yogafirst2@bigpond.com.

YOGA (and YOGA FOR DISABILITIES): I teach three classes a week at Windarring (a facility for the disabled, and profoundly disabled), and have determined that I will do the CERT IV in DISABILITY so that I can be more effective in my understanding and teaching, understand the implications of NDIS – and then TEACH YOU BABIES WHAT I KNOW. Because of privacy I can’t show you photographs in the newsletter, but will get permission for our course.

This style of yoga is not just for people who are marginally disabled, but also how to teach those who are profoundly disabled – those people who are consigned to a wheelchair and need to be cared for, for their entire life. I am having some fantastic wins, and management are sitting up and noticing. Where yoga was dismissed as a “distraction” and maybe a time waster when I first started, every week I have more and more people come in to join the class, and more carers actually helping and doing. It is very rewarding when you see real progress even in a short time. And we have FUN.

When your ordinary yoga classes are diminishing I can tell you categorically that the number of people who are registered with the NDIS, and the number of teachers required in disability is going to snowball (I am sure that you have seen this in the news). There is no-one who is teaching you how to manage this new opportunity, and I plan to. It is more complex than you realise. Luckily I have great support from the Management of Windarring and the Tafe College I am working with. It is not easy, and I will have to be very disciplined to see the course through. As you know, I have many calls on my time already.
