DEAR YOGIS

Just one more yoga class to go, and then we are on holidays until MONDAY THE 10TH JANUARY.  This should give you all plenty of time to do modules (those who need to do them).

I am looking forward to the Monday Yoga class at 1pm – our last for the year.  

NEXT YEAR (Omicron being held at bay) – this may change slightly, but any updates will be in the newsletter.

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

ZOOM
TEACHER TRAINING – Monday 6.30.  First term “The Gita” – $25 per month
NEW STUDIO CLASS:  “Herbals” Saturday 2pm. Identification/Uses/Medicines/Bach/pendulum Starting 15th January $50 per month. After you have done these tutorials you will be able to save heaps by learning to do things yourself, or a new skill to add to your studio “menu”.  A great addition to the Bach Course now on Etsy www.myyogabooks.etsy.com
CCP: Tuesdays at 7.30. New class starting 18th January.  Students who have done the class previously are welcome to use this as a refresher.
TAROT:  Taking up where we left off.  $50 per month

During Covid and the on-again off-again lock-downs I took our classes from the studio to zoom, and to keep you close and your spirits up – knowing that Covid meant that many were just hanging on financially, I gave free classes where I could.  Now we are through it for the time being, I ask you not to be offended that I am charging –  I too have expenses, and everything has changed.   Apart from CCP where the zoom is part of the course, there is a small charge (less than a Coffee and cake per session)… I hope that you can all understand that, and will keep coming to class. Even Edgar Cayce charged for his time, and my teachers certainly charged for theirs.  I used to have a yoga jar and put coins into it – there was always the right amount for class in there, but I was a devoted student, and loved my  teacher and the classes.

COVID:  Thanks to my students and clients, vaccinated an unvaccinated, I am compiling a regime for any of you who have caught covid and are either managing alone, or in recovery.  Let me know if you would like some guidelines – yoga, breathing, vitamins, herbs.  As usual healing is a team effort – not just one thing.  Not just one jab, not just one way.

THE QUANTUM BACH

In my adventure into BACH FLOWER REMEDIES, I have been combining PPT and BACH, and effectively mimicing the  acupuncture experience. Dr. Shui Yin Lo (The Biophysics Basis for Acupuncture and Health) hypothesizes that both meridians and acupuncture points are made up of “water clusters.”  “A water cluster is defined as approximately 10⁹ water molecules combining to form a ‘cluster’ that is a dipole, i.e., negatively charged on one end and positively charged on the other. When these clusters are stimulated by acupuncture needles, heat, sound (light in the case of flower essences), electromagnetic waves, electric fields, and or sound waves are generated. These waves travel through the meridian to various organs that resonate with similar water clusters in that organ.”

Lynne McTaggert in her book The Field, addresses related concepts in the area of quantum physics, one being that “water acts as the conductor of a molecule’s signature frequency.” In conclusion, according to Craydon and Bellows, “The perfect harmonics of the floral template (Bach Essence) contained in the memory of the water will, through electromagnetic resonance, stimulate the water clusters in the receptive acupuncture point and communicate this information through the meridian system. In this way, the whole body receives vibratory communication and realigns itself to match this template. Profound healing occurs when inner and outer nature harmonize with one another.”

The message is…You don’t have to take it under the tongue.  This is especially important if you have an addiction to alcohol.  I have found the best way for me (and the cat and the plants)  is to put in a small spray bottle and spritz my face and hands, or pulse points.  In the case of plants, I use on trunks, branches or leaves depending on the problem, and the condition of the plant.

You can always email or zoom for your remedy, and I can post your essence to you. $35 including postage.  Better to buy more than one because the postage of $10 per parcel won’t change.

Centaury – Cherry plum – Chestnut bud – Chicory – Crab Apple – Gorse – Heather – Holly – Honeysuckle – Hornbeam – Mustard – Oak – Olive – Pine – Rock Rose – Rock Water – Scleranthus – Vervain – Vine – Walnut – White Chestnut – Wild Oat – Wild Rose – Rescue Remedy (plus: Shungite – Rock Crystal – Amethyst).  All these have been gathered and made from plants in my garden or walking distance to my house and crystals of course.  On the Saturday Classes we will learn how to make these essences and use them.

The First Saturday “HERBAL” we will explore PINE (for self-forgiveness. For those stuck in regret), WILD OAT (For those unable to choose one of many paths, and determine their true vocation), OLIVE (for those who are exhausted on every level).  We will also use these herbs in cooking and in making liqueurs.  Also using a pendulum to help you decide on the herbals.

Be open to new ways of thinking – as Jesus said “Be not afraid for I am with you…” Fear is more debilitating than any disease.

I look forward to seeing you on the zoom or on the mat, soon.

NAMASTE – JAHNE

Dear Yogis,

We had our last “Yoga Lunch” last Friday.  The first since the start of Covid.  AND, AND, AND, I have loaded my Bach Therapy Course – The Yoga of herbs on ETSY (www.myyogabooks.etsy.com).  You might think it doesn’t apply to you, but I use it on my plants and have had great results.

A CASE HISTORY:  I have a beautiful lemon tree on my back verandah.  In spite of the fact The Macedon Ranges seems  not to be the climate to plant lemons, this tree has thrived.  This year however it was savagely attached by thrip and a black spot fungus, maybe encouraged by a load of chicken poop…instead of the usual “zoopoo” it favours.  It looked like the tree was being overtaken, it was in shock.

I first misted the plant with Rescue Remedy and used my own White Oil concoction to clean the leaves.  I continued misting Bach on the trunk when the leaves were too oily from the white oil as she needed support whilst the cleansing of the leaves was working.  There was a week when I felt that what we were doing was working but it wasn’t really showing – I used my pendulum to confirm this, and kept going, on the basis that the bush was going through a healing crisis.

After a week or so (after checking with my pendulum)  I changed the Bach Rescue Remedy to Bach Crab-Apple for its calming, cleansing and antiseptic properties. I was still dry wiping the leaves to get rid of the dying thrip and to prepare for the Bach remedy misting.

The lemon tree against all odds is thriving.  It has a wonderful crop of new leaves, the buds that were absent in spring are now evident, and it is possible that we will have fruit.  (I could go on about the fig tree, the cherry tree, and so on….)

This was an effective, economical and timely intervention, and most importantly it worked. It works on all trees, flowers and plants and can do no harm to the plant, yourself, birds, or your companion animals.

One of the most impressive healers/homeopaths/Bach Therapists I have known was the Late Dr. Joseph Von Moger, who made his own remedies and could be seen in the forest and open spaces around Mt.Macedon collecting flowers to make the remedies. I have the inventory of plants from the garden of his house called “White Lodge” in Mt.Macedon, add these to his wanderings and foraging  in the bush and collecting in the Shire, and the list becomes quite impressive.  Apart from the large trees, I have collected most of the plants he had in my own tiny garden (in comparison to “White Lodge”).

I have such a garden.  If you are interested, make an appointment and come see my garden, you would be welcome.  It is always great to see a growing plant rather than a name on a label.  Maybe when you come for a Bach remedy you can take a turn around the garden as well.  Email to make an appointment. yogafirst2@bigpond.com

ZOOM:  I will do a zoom class soon on “MAKING BACH REMEDIES FOR YOUR GARDEN”.  Bach isn’t economical if you have to go to your health food store to buy a remedy, but it is VERY economical if you do it the way Bach intended – you make your own.  Bach Remedies were designed to be simple, and effective – any they are.

CHRISTMAS SCHEDULE  The School will close on the 20th of December – but I will be available to assist with consultations at any time EXCEPT the 25th of December, only because people drop in and out during that day.  Until then we will have yoga classes Monday 1pm, Wednesday 5.30 and Friday 5.30.

I will see you on the mat.

NAMASTE.  JAHNE
