Dear Yogis,

I went to Melbourne on Friday and decided after my last lovely experience,  to catch the tiny village bus.  It is so easy (and so close).  The 2 minutes to the station was great, we chatted about wombats.  I got out, checked my ticket, and was early for the train.  I suddenly realised I had left my bag of books on the bus.  They were my reason for taking the day off – going to the Theosophical Library to return and replace.  Shock Horror – a wasted day?  No.  I rang the bus company.  They diverted the bus which delivered my books to me at the station in plenty of time for the train.  And that is why we live in the country.  Happy, Happy!!!.  Dysons runs the tiny village bus.  They were gracious, helpful and efficient.  Learn to take the village bus.  “FLEXIRIDE” is so EASY – to book your trip phone 5422 1634.

TAROT CLASS:  Yesterday, in spite of the fact I had been tardy in contacting you all, I ran the tarot class anyway.  It was fantastic.  As usual we learn more than we teach, and i did.  I am sure my student went home well able to start taking clients confidently.  He had the keys to a successful tarot future.

We are going to do this class again, to see how far he has come and to learn more about reading the tarot, so if you want to be on the wait list,  book now and i will keep you informed of the next class.

You will need a tarot deck – whichever is your favourite.  I do have my tarot decks here (THE REVELATION TAROT) which if you sign up for class you can buy at a special price.  $75 for the 2 hour class and $50 for the deck.  There is a training on the tarot on my youtube channel “JAHNE HOPE-WILLIAMS YOUTUBE”.  You could get the meaning in your mind before the class, but not entirely necessary as we learn to read intuitively.

THE PENDULUM BOX:  Last weekend there was a “Reuse and Recycle” sale at the Mt.MacedonGallery which is ongoing until the end of the month.  I put a boxed pendulum tarot board and mini tarot board in the show.  It sold, I put another one in, it sold!  I am now getting a little hoard at home at the studio, and keeping a box always for sale at The Gallery on the Mount where you can purchase it.  The price is the same.

If you want a boxed pendulum golden orb, the mini board, and a larger one lining the box I have some here at the studio – only a couple left. If I post it will cost $65 plus $15 Express post in Australia.   If you would like to come to the studio and make a choice, it will cost $65.

I do have a 40cmx40cm Printed Pendulum Board here (as in the pic) which you can call in and purchase for $25 Please book a time to come to the studio.  Email: yogafirst2@bigpond.com. OR I can post one to you for $45 – $25 for the board plus $20 for express postage and packing.  Pay via PayPal on the home page.

Dear Yogis,

After another couple of tense Telstra problem days last week I am trying to catch up.  So here I am.

I have been making earrings and packaging them up for the Mt Macedon Gallery to take my mind off things.  In find computer problems so time consuming.

On Saturday,  we opened the REUSE AND RECYCLE exhibition, and I put in an appliqué, and a necklace made of spoons.  This was the first thing in the exhibition to sell I believe..  I was so thrilled I can’t tell you.  It is wonderful to make an unexpected sale.

I am now thinking of making more.  So there are the earrings and two GOLDEN ORB  pendulums which will be delivered as soon as I can, and will be for sale.  The earrings to left are made from sea glass collected from around Port Phillip Bay held in place with fishes made of silver.  The ORB pendulums are made from dangles from an unusual light fitting with beads and golden chain.  They are boxed with a mini pendulum board, and a slightly larger board for beside your computer.

I do have more orbs, so if you want tone please email me and I will send one to you.  They are $65 plus $15 postage in Australia.n Email yogafirst2@bigpond.com

Yoga as usual as below.

Dear Yogis,

I have been watching COSMIC FIRE on Foxtel.  I wonder if you have, and whether if you have you will ever do yoga again?

These guys are such charlatans.  How can they do it? For money of course!

To be a yoga teacher today isn’t easy.  We have all the financial difficulties you have, and we have to deal with people who don’t show up, trainee teachers who just don’t understand that they have made an agreement to take a course and finish it, people who book classes and don’t show.  It all impacts the bottom line.

Yes we are spiritual,  but we don’t have a huge organisation keeping the doors open like the Catholic Church does for instance, or Yogi Bhajan – he even dreamed up and funded a security guard organisation he leased out all over the world, he sold foods, clothing, He had at least 16 different known organisations (all with their own “empires” and 16 secretaries) all with merchandise under his name.  Yoga was just a door opener.

The classical, real yoga (the yoga we do) is 4,500 or so years old.  Kundalini Yoga is an idea that Yogi Bhajan had and it worked.  We use some of his breath work,  but use none of his other mind and body control nonsense.  Wim Hoff has borrowed from Kundalini too…

TAROT WORKSHOP: I am going to hold a studio class on the 16th November right here.  TAROT READING FOR BEGINNERS.  I am working towards you actually being able to do a short reading for others at the end of this class.  We will focus on the major arcana which is a great place to start (or stay).  You can read a deck with just these cards, before you expand to the minors, or any other deck or oracle you prefer once you have the basics – even the Angel oracle (depending on the day and how you feel – make your own rules).  If you are interested please email me yogafirst2@bigpond.com

If you want a short, 1 card reading from now until The beginning of December you can have one VIA EMAIL for $25.  If you want one,  just pre-pay on PAYPAL www.yogabeautiful.com.au and click on Pay via PAYPAL.  I will try to send you reading in two days.  Email me your question and your birthdate so I can do some numerology too..

MY YOGA classes are as usual – the tarot fits alongside (as yours probably does).    THANK YOU  for those who registered …it is an annual responsibility and we rely on you.  You make it possible for us to do what we do.
