Dear Yogis,

Reporting to you AGAIN from “the house of honey”.  The honey has been fabulous.  I have a few more bottles available ($10 for about 600g). Looking after the bees is a responsibility – but looking after the honey is a greater one. I am hoping (as I have been for some time) to get a Kenyan Top Bar Hive.  They are kinder to the bees, although mine seem happy with the regular English hive.

 

SEWING BEE:  Sunday at 2.30.  This is all about hand sewing – we have a quilt to finish and you could help with that, or you could bring something else to do.  Or you could just watch.  Please bring some nibbles (just something very small… this is not a big group).  No re wine thank you.  Soda or champers encouraged just in case we have a spill.  Where.  At the studio, 37 Morris Road, Woodend.  If you are a newbie and have decided to come, please let me know ahead of time (the day before, not on the day – I don’t live with my phone in my hand!)

 

YOGA CLASSES AND STUDIO TIMES…..

Windarring Yoga –  Tues. x 2 +Thurs. x 1. (some Fridays)

STUDIO YOGA WOODEND: Monday Hatha 1pm (full) 2.15 Wed. Restorative 1pm.  

TAROT READINGS AT THE STUDIO – Look forward to hearing from you.  You can even come on the weekends, and I can do “doubles” – you and mum, maybe you and a friend.

THE YOGA LUNCHEON:  As always the last Saturday in the month.  The next at 12noon the 30th September – PUT IT IN YOUR DIARY NOW.. I have booked for us to go to  The Full Moon in Woodend.  Warm, “homey” and great food. I love the Nachos – with chicken – with prawns – vegan, or Mexican.  Any of them are great.

“re.MAKE” –    UPCYCLING, RENOVATING.  If your treasured items need re-imagining and mending, come see me – please make an appointment first.. I am pretty well booked until the end of October (unless you are a regular who needs a skirt/pants tweaked), so keep that in mind. SEWING BEE SUNDAY as above.

 

SEE YOU IN THE STUDIO (and at the yoga lunch)

NAMASTE – JAHNE

 

Dear Yogis,

Reporting to you from “the house of honey”.  We just removed three frames and I have kilos of honey – just from those.  I have never had such a luscious return.  In fact I have run out of containers and had to ask for my Monday girls to come and share, bringing bottles with them.  So the morning will be totally devoted to honey – before yoga classes.  The hives now have to be split before they swarm – the bees are making swarming signals…  Then I will have two hives, not one,  and at the rate of honey production I will have to think way more “commercially” about the amount of honey being produced.  So, on my open days, honey will also be a feature.  Maybe I can also have an honesty box on my front verandah….  ?

Looking after the bees is a responsibility – but looking after the honey is a greater one.

Dear Yogis,

Surrounded at the moment who are looking to blame the world or anything else for the situation they find themselves in, I thought I would remind you of a few “truths” as expounded by the Buddha.  He taught that there is only one cause of suffering, and that is ATTACHMENT which could translate as “desire”.  Desire is not just desiring after beautiful, it can be desiring after suffering – some people are so stuck they can’t see that their concentration on a bad outcome is continuing the bad outcome.. it is an attachment, a desire designed to make life difficult.

• The key to the first noble truth is to acknowledge and understand when we are suffering—when something feels troubling, problematical, unpleasant, or that we want to be different. Rather than resisting, avoiding, or clinging, we acknowledge and open to the truth of our experience.  This does not mean wallowing in negativity to give our existence meaning,  but recognising it contemplating what we can learn, and moving on.
• The key to the second noble truth is to recognize our own role in fueling our suffering. The Buddha taught that suffering has its origin in craving and clinging, such as being in an unskillful relationship with our experience. When we see clearly the price we pay for clinging, we can let go and experience the resulting freedom. The second noble truth—craving, as the cause of suffering—is to be abandoned.  If something isn’t working for you, whatever it is, say thank-you for the lesson, and move on.
