eNewsletters for Trainees Teachers – Page 140

Dear Yogis,

Things are changing, and thank goodness, people are having the confidence to come back to yoga and to start teacher training. It could be you. It means that in spite of difficulties we are starting to have confidence in the future. Congratulations to those who have stepped up to the plate.

Last week I told you that I had purchased a paper-brick maker in order to constructively use all the paper and cardboard generated by this office. Kogan delivered it this morning! How speedy is that! Nothing, no business beats their speed of delivery (or their price and FREE DELIVERY). Now all I have to do is actually make the bricks – because I have now told you, I am forced to do it. Those people who have started teacher training could take a leaf out of my book and tell everyone that they are trainee yoga teachers. The people you tell will not forget, and their reminders will help keep you on track.

Not one of my artworks, but definitely orb-like.

RESTORATIVE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING – zoom and home study.

I was woken up last night by a very definite nudge from someone “on the other side” to get me to do this. I am hoping that you had the really strong urge to study, and this call-out to the universe caused them to wake me up to the fact that there was a group out there who wanted to do this.

Restorative is perfect for this time. I was looking at the news coming out of Europe especially about long-covid. People who have not had any of the usual symptoms, but are exhibiting post covid results long term, troubling enough for some people to be almost disabled. This community is usually one that was super fit before these symptoms appeared. Covid is very sneaky. Students who love yoga and can no longer do yoga every day CAN DO RESTORATIVE YOGA. This is a wonderful enriching alternative, and I predict we will have larger Restorative classes from here on in… (if you offer Restorative Classes – there are some clients who may not know this is an alternative).

Of course RESTORATIVE YOGA will be an option for the new trainee teachers for their ELECTIVE topic. Someone out there really wants to do this – or needs to do this – enough to get a “psychic nudge” to happen. For those students who sign up for their Yoga teacher training before I start this new round, I will add RESTORATIVE if they want to do it as their elective AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. Please email your interest.

NAMASTE – JAHNE

Dear Yogis.

YESTERDAY’S MONTHLY YOGA LUNCHEON. In spite of my invites to you all, we still have the core attendees which is just fine, but I would like to see more of you. It gets me out to lunch with yogis once a month, but I am sorry that the rest of you were not able to join us. It is a weekday – but it is at lunchtime and we all need to eat (as students tell me). We were given the meeting room which is fabulous, especially as the hotel is getting full and noisier now that covid is less on people’s minds (not mine – it is still top of mine).

The Victoria Hotel in Woodend has really upped its game. The chef is doing a fabulous job and generally the hotel is filling a lot of gaps with regards to eating and coffees in town. PLUS it is the ONLY place to have a relaxed coffee after 2pm on a weekday. Try it.

I said I was going BACK TO THE FUTURE, and I really am. I was looking at my archive and wondering what to do with all the paper. There are twelve big plastic tubs full of “past archive” stage paper files. Then I re-though of a method I used when the kids were small and we had an open fire and a combustion stove – I used a paper log press, and made logs out of waste paper, cardboard, and milk cartons etc. I never thought I would be able to find one now, but guess what, I have! “Kogan”, one of my favourite on-line shops has one for only $54 and delivered free. So I have ordered one. I will let you know if it is as efficient as the lovely red one I used to use. You can make one log, or another machine makes two logs, or a super machine makes four logs at a time – I am just doing one at a time. It is amazing how much paper you need for just one log. But I have a method, and a storage place for the logs to dry.

PRESSED BACH FLOWERS

I really like pressing flowers and leaves. I have pressed in all sizes, even branches when I thought I might decorate the toilet as Angel did in Return to the Chateau. I have since reconsidered, though I did press the leaves and branches and have them stored..

I AM EXCITED, and bouncing with energy. I have decided to press the Bach Flowers on my smallest press which is totally achievable. This should be interesting. I won’t be able to do all the flowers – it is winter, but I will be able to press leaves, and maybe add painted or drawn flowers. I will let you know how I go. I will present these mounted ready to frame (postage issues again), and at this size I will be able to frame them myself in miniature which will be interesting. The whole process will keep me engaged, and i do need an evening project. I don’t like sitting in front of the TV doing nothing, and i have gotten over the “knitting bug” after years of wool and needles.

Last evening I was getting my various presses from the top of the bookshelves ready for this project, and missed the bottom step on the ladder as i was climbing down with the presses in my arms. I am sure you have done this. I grabbed the bookshelf to save myself, and twisted my wrist – Ouch!!! It even made a little snapping sound. Thank goodness for my special TYOH oil which is full, full, full of terpenes and other good things. I don’t think I will be doing crow or hand balances this week, but it is much better. No swelling, no bruising (thanks to comfrey) and sleeping was not an issue. I remember doing the same (stupid) thing when I was much younger, and without oils or herbs it did drag on.

CURRENT SCHEDULE: (Studio Yoga – Mondays and Wednesdays at 1pm are Full – COME TODAY AT 1PM – email to book)

ZOOM: Mon. 6.30 Gita, Tues. Herb workshop 7.30, Friday 6.45 Tarot on holidays until 29th April.

MONTHLY LUNCHEON: Last Thursday in May (26th) at 12noon at “The Vic” in Woodend (If you are running a bit late, relax, it’s OK – drop in for dessert).

CITY, (Melbourne CBD): I will be giving a talk at the theosophical Society in Flinders Lane at 1.30 on the 28th May. “THE YOGA OF HERBS”

Please make a zoom consult ($85 for the zoom including your tea). I would prefer to see you so we can be sure the teas will suit you and help you on your road to wellness.

You can email if you don’t like zoom… and YOU CAN ALWAYS PURCHASE FOR HERBS TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION – DRIED, FRESH OR TO GROW…. A studio consult may include PPT MASSAGE or BOWEN, the herbs, tarot counselling… whatever is needed. Email me for your next step yogafirst2@bigpond.com.

SEE YOU ON THE MAT (OR ON ZOOM)

NAMASTE – JAHNE

Dear yogis,

Tomorrow (Thursday the 28th April) at 12noon we have our Yoga Luncheon – in the Meeting Room of The Victoria Hotel in Woodend. I hope that you can jon us. If the last few luncheons are anything to go by there will be plenty of room to expand into another table – especially as we have been given a room to ourselves.

THE ABUNDANCE PATHWAY
Whilst we were seeking past lives, we identified with THE FOOL. This is the first card in the deck, and represents the “voyager” (you) on life’s path. In this our Past-Life meditation on the Fool we imagined that we could follow the overself, and look backwards in our past, forward into our future, or make any little detours on the way.

In the ABUNDANCE PATHWAY, we once again become the Fool but this time we are seeking RESULTS. We have seen the past, we have acknowledged the future, and now we are going to use this as a tapestry upon which we will greet the sound and light show of abundance. We are going to use the card of MAGICIAN as our guide (The Creator) and accept our success working through the things we need to do (this is a time of work not just play). On this path we will Grow in Confidence.

As I said to a student yesterday (and many times before) “People don’t get what they want if life, because they don’t know what it is they do want”. They keep swapping and changing. If we believe it we will see it. Have faith in your belief – you can create your Success.

To have me prepare a life reading for you – with time date and place of your last life, then email me to check you have got the details all organised, then you can pay the usual way – go to the home page of www.yogabeautiful.com.au and down the bottom of the page you will see PAY VIA PAY PAL and pay by clicking on that button.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF CANNA-BUTTER?

We have to state from the get-go, that anything CBD or Cannabis is totally illegal in this country, except if you get your supply from a licensed GP. I saw the documentary the other nite, and it seemed to me that the doctors interviewed in the main had no faith in CBD, in spite of the overwhelming evidence – which they disputed. It does not bode well for our leaders to overturn this law any time soon. In only this we need a ‘Trump”.

If you want to know about LEGAL hemp, and illegal Cannabis, then I have added sections to the Superfoods book (Kannabis Kitchen). You will find it on Etsy. There is a run down on everything hemp – recipes, oils, creams, and then there is the right way to make Cana-Butter. All the pros and Cons. It is such a useful book. Easy to download it from www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

BACH REMEDIES FOR YOUR FURRY FRIENDS…

It is a delight to know that these essences are offering emotional comfort to many animals who may have been suffering for many years, as a result for example, of being taken from their mother too young, or of being re-homed after spending time in an animal shelter, or being in a place where there was no possibility of socialising normally. There is a Bach Flower Essence that we have specifically developed for each of these and other emotional states, which give rise to many of the behavioural patterns that can pose difficulties for the animal and owner alike down the track. A remedy for the animal and the owner who is often stressed..

Every year, thousands of animals are needlessly destroyed, not because they are “unsavable”, but to give their owners peace from dealing with an animal’s incontinence, destructiveness, noisiness, or other problem. In this way, behaviour problems become a “terminal disease” and tragically it seems this the greatest cause of the euthanasia of young animals. With vet bills escalating, the cost is often a determining factor in discarding or putting an animal down.

Correcting a behaviour problem is extremely cost effective on every front – physically, mentally, emotionally and fiscally. It does not require expensive behaviour therapy or modification on behalf of the owner – it can be brought about in many cases quite simply and inexpensively through the use of our flower remedies – We call these The STELLARIA “Famous Five”. They are easy to administer to your animals yourself. They are simple, effective and you can cause no harm.

The ‘Famous Five” a set of five “Stellaria” Remedies for the most common problems * FEAR * SOCIALISATION * SEPARATION ANXIETY * GRIEF * TRANSITION are available at www.myyogabooks.etsy.com . The cost? $85 plus $10 postage. (You can of course purchase the remedies singly but postage makes this difficult). I am sorry that postage is such a high ticket item – buying the set spreads the cost somewhat.
