Hi there little gang of yogis,

Well the crisis has passed.  For the past month I have been struggling with what the medicos called “high Blood Pressure” which has overshadowed the split gluteus medius and TFL.  They also failed to focus on the fact that I had a raging asymptomatic urinary tract infection.  This was what was pushing up the blood pressure.

Every week I got weaker, the blood pressure went up into the danger group and the pile of pills got higher.  Thank goodness I just wasn’t resigned to that life, and found a young doctor who listened.  They identified the problem right away – URTI, took me off ALL the medications except for that, so now, apart from an antibiotic, I am drug free.  I feel so terrific.  Last night I had my first good, uninterrupted sleep in a month.

RECALIBRATING CLASSES;  Classes are up and down as usual, even our yoga lunches go from 10 persons  to 5 in spite of the time it takes to continuously remind and follow up. Everyone is on again, off again – I know I have brought this to your attention before.   I have been reviewing what I do, not just in terms of time but also space.  I have a large, bright room that is only used for yoga classes, when I could be using it for other things. and I am starting to put things in place… We could be using the church hall which is larger – but no props….not as “homey”  and no storage, but a great space and suitable for wheelchairs.  It is up to God.

TAROT:  Don’t forget, if you too are recalibrating, then consulting the cards could be helpful.  You can join me at the studio or zoom.  Email me for a booking. $85 per reading yogafirst2@bigpond.com

Dear Yogis,

I am so happy.  I have taken my life back! Really. I am out of the hands of doctors and I feel fantastic.  For just 3 weeks I was totally deluded and sick from the various HBP medications handed to me because the doctors were fearful.  My BP is higher than normal, it has always been higher than normal – and it puts fear into the hearts of doctors.

After the 2nd vax I had a TIA when my high BP skyrocketed, but I didn’t realise I had a TIA until much later.  I was still gardening, yoga’ing, lifting rocks, doing the things I do.  Luckily I had a doctor at the time who said, “just keep doing what you are doing” – and I have until now.  Unfortunately I had to get a damaged Glute and TFL checked out and at the same time they checked my blood pressure and went into shock.  I however felt happy and fantastic, something I haven’t felt since that moment.  They gave me a barrage of pills as well as oxycodone!  I didn’t take the oxycodone but I did take the others.  They lowered my bp to the point that when I was eating lunch I went to sleep and slipped under the table.  A bridge too far.  I want to know that when I feel something that I am feeling it, and it is not a reaction to a chemical.  Remember,  pain originates in the brain.  Interrupt that, and you are lost in the fog.

So, I am once again my primary physician.  I take herbal teas, vitamin supplements and I feel great.  I can get on with my life.  A wake up call.  I will however see an osteopath to get my bones and muscles put back into place (a physio just seemed intent on looking at one thing – and a body is not “just one thing”).

To come see me, get a plan, a program together for winter, that works for you – email yogafirst2@bigpond.com.  We can do this zoom or FaceTime.

Dear Yogis,

Its winter, and things that are achy get more achy don’t you find.  Fear not.  Take the herbs, do what your mum did, and if you value your sanity, don’t get into the hands of the medicos unless absolutely necessary.  Apart from raising your stress levels, there is nothing much they can do that you can’t do yourself – unless of course it IS a difficult medical question and then they can only do what they are trained to do.  This is difficult to remember when you are sat in the office and feel defensive.  I always have the point of view, we will try it my way and if that doesn’t work we will do it your way.

This has served me well in the past – however, it does take patience and positivity, the willingness to be wrong, and the understanding that “the body is a self healing mechanism’.  It won’t heal if stressed to the max.  That is why I recommend the therapies I use myself.  Reiki, combined with lymphatic massage and sound therapy.  Everyday I use herbs, teas and herbal baths.  I hope you do too.
