Dear Yogis, 

Making dolls, and reading the tarot as I do,  is about inviting angels to join us, and I have this TRUE story for you this morning…  This is a short version of a report that was recorded in many publications at the time, as well as “Guideposts” and “Spiritual Guideposts and Fellowship”.  Keep in mind that this was reported first in the 1930’s.  

This visitation took place in the 1930’s at spring time just after a crisp snowfall in Massachusetts.  Professor S.Harlow (who had a BA from Harvard and a Ph.D.  from  Hartford Theological  Seminary) and his wife were taking a walk in the countryside down a track they usually took. It was a beautiful morning, made more beautiful by a recent dusting of fresh snow.  Both academics at the highest level, they were not people who anticipated seeing angels, or any visitations of angelic nature or otherwise. As they walked they heard voices, and imagined that they would shortly be overtaken by company, but they could see no-one approaching from any direction.   However, the voices were getting closer at a faster pace than they were walking, but still  they saw no-one.  Then they looked up.

How could they ever describe what they saw, what they felt.  About ten feet above them was floating a group of glorious, creatures that glowed with spiritual beauty.  There were six of them, young beautiful women of various ages,  dressed in white flowing garments, and engaged in earnest conversation.  Neither the professor nor his wife could hear exactly what they were saying as they seemed to float above them, and the voices were blurred as if being heard through a closed window.  As the angels passed their voices got fainter and fainter until they faded out entirely.

The professor and his wife stood transfixed unable to comprehend what they had seen, and unwilling to break the spell..  There was a fallen birch tree beside the path, and they sat down on it to take in all that had occurred.  After a few moments the professor asked his wife what she had seen and heard, primarily to test his own eyes and ears.  Had he been a victim to some kind of hallucination or imagination?   But to his relief she confirmed the vision.  She had seen exactly the same, identical in every respect.

They both acknowledged how incredible it sounded, and claimed no more for it than it had a deep effect on their lives.

I recalled this story as I sat after meditation this morning, and felt compelled to relate it.. we anticipated snow this weekend – we shall see.  At the moment it is a glorious sunny spring-like morning, but anything could happen.  Snowfall is most beautiful here when the wattle and daffodils are flowering as they are now. Picturing them with a light dusting of snow is beautiful.  Get your cameras ready…. I am not sure you can photograph angels, but spring snowfall is very beautiful.

Just in case you want to connect with your angels – Don’t forget to have your tarot read with me.

Dear Yogis,

What a lovely weekend I had.  A great day at The Gallery, then we had a lovely yoga lunch at The Victoria, Woodend.  One student who lunches WEEKLY at the RACV said that the Vic steak was better than the RACV.  Quite an accolade. I had barramundi and it was splendid too.  Even the student who had salmon patties said they we amazing.  Do go and try their fare – on Sunday no-one was disappointed.  We will be having another lunch at the end of September so put the last Sunday in the month in your diary.

On Sunday the 7th September,  I will be at The Mt.Macedon Gallery from 10am to 1pm if you would like to catch up.  I would love to show you around.
On Sunday the 28th September,  the YOGA LUNCH is at the Victoria Hotel in Woodend from 12 noon.
ALSO On the same Sunday afternoon – we have a teacher training from 2.30.   if I have missed you, please come .

TANTRA:  I have been asked (by a representative of our local council) to consider reprising the YOGA AND THE EGG travelling workshop focussing on all things pelvis.  Right now for every one pack of disposable nappies sold for babies, 10 packs of adult incontinence pads are sold.  This is going to increase, and the amount of waste produced is worrying councils – hence the invitation to educate people in physical things they can do yoga-wise to strengthen the pelvis. You can’t do this without considering prostate health, and of course s-e-x. We will be considering Everything from make-your-own incontinence/period pads, to orgasm.

After a fantastic Sunday Tantra training, and the entreaty by council (who could anticipate this!!), I have decided to do a four week THE FOUNDATIONS OF TANTRA workshop – tantra classes (not just about incontinence), everything spiritual as well as practical.  The classes here or on zoom will not be couples classes.  I think it is time we all took control of our sexual power, and I am not necessarily speaking about masturbation.  Both men and women welcome please email me and we can decide our next step.  The last such workshop sold out in record time.  If you are a student of mine the cost will be $200 for the four weeks, or $250 if you are an “interested party” (not a student of mine).  Please email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com

 

IS YOUR ANNUAL REGISTRATION DUE?  DONT FORGET TO REGISTER WITH US IF YOU HAVEN’T DONE SO.  Even some of our most loved students decide to put their allegiance elsewhere in the belief it doesn’t matter – they don’t understand the difference their yearly registration makes.  To give your certificate more status, I pay to maintain membership in YA, I pay for accredited training status in YA and IICT and the appropriate audits, updates, and insurance, but if you don’t support me, I wonder why I am doing it.  Once you have registered with us there is no need to register with anyone else.  Please reconsider.  

You may go for the cheapest, but in the long run, we are your sangha.  At some point I may have to reduce although I doubt if I will close the door as many have been forced to do.  In the end it is your choice.  If you don’t support me, I will not be here to support you.

Dear Yogis,

Just a reminder about the weekend.

On Saturday 9th August,  I will be at The Mt.Macedon Gallery from 10am to 1pm if you would like to catch up.  I would love to show you around.
On Sunday the 10th August,  the YOGA LUNCH is at the Victoria Hotel in Woodend from 12 noon.
ALSO On Sunday afternoon – we have a teacher training from 2.30.  I have sent an email around, but if I have missed you, please come anyway.

Regarding the herbs.  I hope you have been foraging and making teas.  It is not hawthorn time yet, but hawthorn is my favourite herb.  I have a residual injury from my covid injection – a HBP problem.  Hawthorn is the herb I rely on to calm things down.  Much more efficient than any of the pills the medicos gave me, and no side effects! Even the scar on my brain from the TIA I suffered from the same cause is reducing.

FORAGING:  I pick the fresh tips and the unopened flower buds as you can see in the photograph to the left.  I need about three firmly stuffed supermarket plastic bags for a year of dried tea.

So, get to know the herbs that will help you (first you have to know the problem) and then try the herbs until you find the one that suits you – and then take it regularly.  I make Hawthorn into a tea in the morning and then add a tablespoon or two of the tisane to any hot drink I have during the day – it suits me, and it works for me.

DONT FORGET TO REGISTER IF YOU HAVEN’T DONE SO.  Even some of our most loved students decide to put their allegiance elsewhere – they don’t understand the difference their yearly registration makes.  To give your certificate more status, I pay to maintain membership in YA, I pay for accredited training status in YA and IICT and the appropriate audits, updates, and insurance, but if you don’t support me, I wonder why I am doing it.  Once you have registered with us there is no need to register with anyone else.  Please reconsider.
