Dear Yogis,

Monday already.  It’s been a marvellous and busy weekend and more on the way.  I am booked up until next week with massages (like it used to be – but not as renowned as Dolores Cannon one of my teachers who was booked up 12 years in advance), yoga as usual then the ART MARKET next Saturday and on Sunday the YOGA LUNCHEON (see below) and then TEACHER TRAINING after that.I would like to see more of you at teacher training, and certainly more of you at the zoom class tonite at 6.30- we will be speaking of the vibrations of the DNA and how it effects EVERYTHING. 

I am so enjoying the LYMPHATIC MASSAGE.  It brings into play everything I have been learning.  Anatomy and Physiology, Yogic Anatomy, Massage, the meridians, acupressure points, biofield therapy… everything all in one package.  If you or someone you love has gone through cancer treatment, or radical surgery, all the specialities above help to smooth out the muscles, unlock the ropes from deep scar tissue, unlock the surrounding tissues to make movement more possible.  This does not happen in one magical one hour session (wouldn’t that be  miracle), you need to be patient and see the improvements happen session by session.  Sometime one session is enough, but usually the scalpel has dug deep, and change takes a little time – but it is wonderful to be a part of.

Of course swelling happens for more than one reason.  Cellulite, weight lifting, movement injury, weight gain to name but a few.  It can also help lift depression and is truly wonderful lifting brain fog.  Whatever the reason, our lymphatic system can become stagnant, then fluids and toxins accumulate putting a strain on the body via the lymph system.  To make an appointment or have a chat, pease contact me via email: yogafirst2@bigpond.com

Dear Yogis,

I don’t know how you feel, but I feel that things are settling down a bit.  I am even getting the pond re-landscaped, then I could contemplate a fence???

Even the massages have settled into a regular pattern (although I was cheekily offered a “share” yesterday which I quickly declined – back to the ’60’s?).  I just love doing the massages, especially lymphatic with my clients who are in recovery from some pretty horrific problems and conditions.  It is such a pleasure and honour to be (in some cases) midwife to the next place.  I don’t have time for new yoga or new zoom, but that is now.  Who knows what will happen in the spring.

Dear Yogis,

Last evening (whilst I was crocheting)  I spent an hour “wallowing”. I watched THE PIANO.    I didn’t really intend to, and I don’t think I will be watching again, but it was very interesting.  There was a good blend of people who played the piano for fun, a gorgeous”mini Liberace” complete with bling, but the winner was a girl who played the heart strings not just the piano keys.

We had a beautiful weekend but I am still watering the garden – everything is so dry.  Next weekend Saturday and Sunday are free at the moment, and unless a massage is booked I plan to spend the days in the garden.  My pond has to be cleaned out and redesigned to be more in keeping with the warmer weather.. I will be installing a smaller water area, it was much bigger than I remembered and keeping it full had become a “project”.  The veggie garden needs replanting, and compost added.  Lots of little things, and apart from the pond, nothing major.

I am having a wonderful time doing LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE massage (and self-massage).  Years ago when I was in Melbourne I had quite an uptake of this service, due to a clinic which understood its importance, not many do.  The lymph system is the waste control for the body and we can extrapolate all kinds of results when we consider that it services the whole body.  So many folk who are suffering long covid realise the proteins are at the basis of their long term problems…  a series of lymph massages may go a long way to helping realign the glands.  From the results I achieve, I know that this is a good step forward.

If you are signed up for hip or knee surgery, you would do well to book in for a few “pre” as well as “post”-surgery massages.  Healing is easier, faster.

Of course this massage also addresses pain, and those folk who perhaps overdo their gym sessions will also benefit, although this is usually the”no pain no gain” group and they don’t really understand the value of the lightness of touch delivered by this massage, even if positive results are experienced.
