Dear Yogis…..
Can anyone out there send me (or deposit on my doorstep) some knitting wool, real or acrylic, to use in our/my yarn bombing endeavours – even “bombing” a bike (from freeknitting.com)? I am thinking of having a Friday afternoon yarn bombing get together at my place (2.30 to 4.30?) to raise the profile (and contributions) towards Yoga for Disability.
I thought I would like to decorate the Buddha and the Japanese Gate in my front yard, how can you contribute. Hopefully I can get some knitted and wool donations from Windarring, as well as teach them how they can contribute pom, poms or squares. What about you? Can you contribute wool, donations, squares? COULD YOU COME ON A FRIDAY 2.30 TO 4.30?? Experience in knit or crochet not required. You could knit squares, sew a knit-fabric square we can crochet an edge on.
GREAT GARDENER? I live on my own except for when yoga students are at class, or are helping out – however sometimes more is required. I have in the past called Jims Mowing. Not all Jims Mowing is created equal – I have had some not so good experiences, mostly where every time they come they do less and charge more….but Clyde Wright (New Gisborne) is a cut above. If you need gardening done (including hedge clippings etc etc, he has “heavy lifting” type equipment and could help. He has been terrific in my yard. clyde.wright@jimsmowing.net
KEEPING THE BODY CLEAN AND TIDY.
Have you heard of The Kriyas? The cleansing practices? Neti pot to wash out the sinus muck, Trataka – candle gazing for clearing the head, and breathing practices Bhastrika for instance, to clear the chest. There are few not so pleasant practices but I don’t do them or recommend them in real life. If you were at an Indian Ashram you might do them – but we live in the real world.
There are lots of various respiratory germs flying around – if you keep your body in tip top shape, you will be less likely to get any of these. Don’t wait until they arrive. Bacteria and fungi in the body are designed to help you deal with invaders, they are not the baddies. If you keep you biome happy, you will be happy. Don’t just hide in bed and cry, get out there. Just because the folk waiting to get sick actually get sick – you don’t have to.
If you do struggle into the doctor, and sit in a germ laden waiting room and then are prescribed multiple antibiotics, you will take quite a long time to recover, both from the infection and the drugs. Walk, breathe and LIVE. It’s simple.
Speaking about doctors. We have a new “young” doctor in town at the Brooke Street Medical Centre. I am avoiding him like the plague as my clients tell me that as soon as your age gets close to 80, he uses whatever condition you go to him for, as an excuse to remove your licence to drive!!! There are a number of disgruntled clients as you can imagine. He contacts the various authorities right away and makes sure you have to hand your licence back. I do believe there are people in town driving who should not be, and some of them only 50 years old. Age is not the only red flag. Strokes, eyesight, hearing are all concerns.
