Dear Yogis,

Surrounded at the moment who are looking to blame the world or anything else for the situation they find themselves in, I thought I would remind you of a few “truths” as expounded by the Buddha. He taught that there is only one cause of suffering, and that is ATTACHMENT which could translate as “desire”. Desire is not just desiring after beautiful, it can be desiring after suffering – some people are so stuck they can’t see that their concentration on a bad outcome is continuing the bad outcome.. it is an attachment, a desire designed to make life difficult.

The key to the first noble truth is to acknowledge and understand when we are suffering—when something feels troubling, problematical, unpleasant, or that we want to be different. Rather than resisting, avoiding, or clinging, we acknowledge and open to the truth of our experience. This does not mean wallowing in negativity to give our existence meaning, but recognising it contemplating what we can learn, and moving on.
The key to the second noble truth is to recognize our own role in fueling our suffering. The Buddha taught that suffering has its origin in craving and clinging, such as being in an unskillful relationship with our experience. When we see clearly the price we pay for clinging, we can let go and experience the resulting freedom. The second noble truth—craving, as the cause of suffering—is to be abandoned. If something isn’t working for you, whatever it is, say thank-you for the lesson, and move on.

Dear Yogis.

In a bit of a hurry – just wanted to say good morning. We had a great get together over a quilt yesterday (and more requested), so we will see where we go from there.

Don’t forget, I let you know that I have only 5 sets of my last printing of tarot cards left. I am selling them for $55 if you are interested. When the new cards arrive I can guarantee they will be way more expensive!

Dear Yogis,

Thank you for standing back and “allowing”.

I have had a very successful SABBATICAL, and will be back to my yoga work in full swing in the next term FROM THE 2ND OCTOBER with a zoom workshop and coaching in BREATHWORK.

I have had a lovely time, linked with my childhood and past through sewing, and explored new way to paint, but in my cells I am a yogi. I remember and have told you that my meditation Teacher (an Abbot) walked across America from Washington to California and back – this was his Sabbatical and he learned a lot, as have I. It was a great break. I still have a couple of sewing things to complete, but they will be done.

My first WORKSHOPS – “BREATHWORK” – is a favourite yoga practice of mine, which not only helps the lungs, it helps the structure of the body realign. It can also assist in increasing abundance by changing the mind. I hope to work with children too….

WHAT IS BREATHWORK? Breathwork is a powerful practice that can ground, energise, nourish and empower you. It’s profoundly healing and incredibly simple.

Breathing deeply can dramatically shift the way you feel in your mind and body. It can bring higher states of awareness and a deep reconnection to self. When we stop and breathe, our physical, mental and energetic bodies are given the opportunity to heal.

The benefits of breathwork – When I sit with a client in a breath experience, introduce the breath – I see the unfolding, reconnection, and opening to a new way of living right at the moment.

Breathwork can help you: Alleviate anxiety, stress & depression – Build immunity – Reconnect to your inner self – Release unhelpful behaviour patterns – Shed old stories and emotions – Feel more energised – Generate a new sense of freedom & inspiration – Move beyond what you thought was possible – Relax and sleep more deeply.
