Dear Yogis,

I don’t know what you did with your weekend, however, I am getting used to actually having one.  Thursday was my one day off but has disappeared in that regard – I do “out of the office” things that day,  but I am still working.  On the weekends I don’t stay in bed, but I spend it mostly doing garden and herb things.  There is lots to do in the garden, and trimmings from pruning raspberry and lavender bushes and trailing vines, can be dried and saved for teas in the winter.  The apples I collected have now been dried, rose hips, and hops are next.

Thanks to my weekend, I am certainly ahead with my herbs.

*Herb tea for IBS and Bloating tummy (who doesn’t know that feeling?)
*Herb tea that have a reputation for helping with anaemia.
*Herb tea for sleeplessness.
*Herb teas for anxiety and restlessness.
*Herb tea for depression
and *Herbs for HEART HEALTH  (I use Hawthorn, and this is in the Herb tea).

HERB TEAS a pack  $53.50 including postage.
7 Popular single herbs in tea bags(10g each – you can mix and match)
5 Herb teas as above (1 of each, 10 g)

A special tea, just for you may require you to email me and I can make up something special.
If you want HERBAL Wedding or party favours, email me and we can make up something special just for you.

These are shipped in cotton hand tied balls with hand written tags, to keep shipping and waste low, but we don’t recommend storing them like that. I suggest popping them just as they come,  in a glass jar out of direct sunlight. If you buy herb teas in the Supermarket and sometimes the chemist (with a fancy box), when you actually unpack the tea, you may find that it is black tea with herbs added.   My teas are herbs, no black tea, unless black tea is the herb or part of the recipe.This is an entirely natural product, which doesn’t mean it’s safe for everyone, or that it won’t interact with medication. People are all different and we recommend doing your own research and speaking to a health professional.

ROMANCE.
Your creative gift, whatever it is is the most special part of you, and it is that gift which will keep you in a happy place no matter what is happening in the world.You might not think of your creative self in terms of romance, however, if you nourish that part of yourself it is a wonderful romance you can have that no-one can take away from you.

Today, with all that is happening in the world, You have to be very strong to keep yourself within that circle of romance and positivity.  It is easy at this time to devolve into anxiety – don’t go there.    I love the idea that my herb teas empower people – putting them together is like being an artist or a musician, not just physically healing.  My hope is that my teas take you to a special place of love and healing.  I think about them, grow them, pick, dry and package with you in mind.  How are you “romancing’ yourself?

MY PROJECT FOR TODAY:
…..in between clients visits to have the ION-KI cleanse, yoga, and tonite the Teacher Training (we are actually having FUN with the Gita this our third reading!), is to make a heap of little tea bags for the herbs.  For me it is all part of  of healing.  If I can add something to each part of the process it makes me feel I am doing the best that I can for you.  I can even make multiples of the hand lettered herb bags for WEDDING/Birthday/Anniversary place tags.  I didn’t think of this but have been asked, so yes.  I can do this.

Hello Yogis,

Hello Friday.  Today is the day of our monthly yoga luncheon and I am so looking forward to it.  We always have a luscious time. The Hotel looks forward to us, and the young waiters always make a fuss.  If you are worried about Covid – don’t! They take every care.  You have more chance of getting Covid at Coles I think.

YOGA STUDIO:  Monday 1pm, Wednesday 5.30 and Friday 5.30

THE GARDEN AND THE ART..

First the garden which is looking just wonderful, and I am getting to grips with it.   I don’t know what i was doing a few years ago, but Covid has allowed me to properly apportion my time so that i can take care of the garden.  I do need help from time to time on the “heavy lifting”, but I am doing most o

PLUS, I have ordered a Kenyan top bar bee hive.   This is going to be quite an experiment and i am looking forward to it.  I hope to hold information days as so few people are doing this style of hive.  In America the Kenyan and the Warre hives and equipment are easy to find.  Not so here.

THE ART.
I am working on some collages.  They make me happy.  The work will have an outing soon, so, patience, patience.  The subject matter is anatomy and yoga.  You will love them.  There will be prints as well as originals as usual.

 

Have a lovely week.  

SEE YOU ON THE MAT.

 

 

 

Dear Yogis,

The week is half done, and things are coming back to an “almost” normal whatever that was.  It is hard to remember, plus we still have the covid requirements to pay attention to, and students who have been vaccinated three times are still coming down with covid.  Just “a bad case of flu” symptoms, but still unpleasant.  How would you know if you had it?  Seems that children now are the carriers, and “career grandparents” are the ones among our students who have got a second and sometimes third infections even after the three vaccinations.

Remember Bach Therapies are a risk-free system of self-healing and therefore available to everyone.  You just have to use it.  Doing the Bach Course and/or joining in the Tuesday Zoom sessions is not just theory – you can use it to help yourself and your family. Just because it is simple does not mean it is not powerful.    Bach’s vision was that the Flower Remedies would one day find their way into the medicine chest of every household.  Please make a booking (zoom or in the studio) and start your journey today.  I am going to start a new bach Class soon.

BOOZY NEWS

I have just finished a small booklet of BOOZY RECIPES.  How to infuse vodkas, make easy, easy ferments (Garlic in honey is my favourite) , and terrific teas.  If you are going to have to stay home, you might as well enjoy it.

There are always more to include. However, the next booklet will be about drying, making teas, edible flowers and how to prepare them and recipes, and so on.  There are always recipes you forget and later say “why did I not remember that one…? ”  There is always one more, and I can’t fit them all in.  I only put in recipes I use all the time and love. If you have a question, I can usually answer it because I have made the recipes many times. They are ALL easy, and no special equipment required – even your children can help.

As Dr.Edward Bach (Bach Flower Remedies) said ” The things that count are simple”.

You can download your copy now for only $5 on www.myyogabooks.etsy.com        At that price you can collect each one as it comes along and put in a folder.  However, I can bind it and post it if you would prefer a hard copy, but this will cost $20 which includes binding, packaging and postage.

We are back at the studio, so I WILL SEE YOU ON THE MAT.

NAMASTE – JAHNE
