Dear Yogis,

What a strange and wonderful time we are in.. two steps forward and one step back.  The news from above is, we can have yoga classes if everyone is vaccinated… if everyone is perfectly healthy (whenever does that happen – there is always someone with a cold, especially if they have children).  So where are we if  everyone is vaccinated and a class member has a cold?  If you have been in a shop  and sniffed or coughed you will know what I mean – everyone dashes for cover.  It is like living through the “Black Death” in Europe.  We will get to the other side I am sure.  Please know every one of you that we are doing the best we can do to keep you all safe.

We talked this morning in CCP about what to do if an acquaintance or even a student refuses for whatever reason to be vaccinated.  The class came to an agreement that we could support this decision if the person was taking responsible steps (regular practice, good diet, spiritual work)  to boost their immune system.   Not just saying they do, but actually doing these things.

It is going to put us all in uncomfortable situations, and having to make uncomfortable decisions….but sometimes these need to be made.  We are doing what we can for the good of everyone.  When one person in the Woolies storehouse got covid, 3,000 workers were isolated!  Does that make a difference to everyone? YES.  So, don’t be part smart.  Everyone counts.

 

OUR SCHEDULE

ZOOM UNTIL NEXT WEEK – this allows everyone time to get vaccinated, and tested if necessary (I think by next Monday all these things will be done).  Then we can all start on the same page, although I believe some yoga studios are returning.  However, if one person in a class tests positive, then everyone has to isolate which is more than a nuisance when we are just being released…. when we can be as careful as possible, we will be.

YOGA: Monday hatha 1pm, Restorative Wednesday at 5.30.  From next week we will resume STUDIO 1pm Wednesday Restorative and 5.30 Studio Yoga together with our usual 1pm Monday and 5.30 Wednesday.  We are requesting that studio class be vaccinated.
STUDY:  Monday 6.30 Teacher Training, Tuesday CCP 7.30pm, Friday TAROT 6.45pm, and Sunday CCP 10am.

We are going to have a TAROT MAKING CLASS (or finish the cards you have started).  This can be the Friday Class from 6.45 to 8.45pm. The cost for the class will be $50 for 4 classes which is what we charged last time.  You should be able to make your own tarot or oracle cards in that time.  Any medium, Pencil, ink, paint, collage.  Whatever you like.

 

WIM HOF BREATHING

Thinking of this – whilst you are making these decisions, and before you have the vax and after, please study the WIM HOF BREATHING METHOD (youtube).  It boosts the immune system (and keeps you feeling young, energetic and fabulous).  WIM himself, who I think is in my age bracket, runs naked around the North Pole.  His breathing technique has been subjected to scientific scrutiny and came out a raging success.

Once he was injected with a virulent bacteria (there was a control group who was and a control group who was not)…  he did the breathing after the inoculation, had a nap and got up as right as rain.  Those that did not do the breath succumbed to the dreadfulness of the bacteria.    Then there is the ice water shower or bath after the breath – an essential step.  It is winter and I use cold water on my feet and legs after a hot shower.  In summer I do the whole body with cold water.  Most refreshing.   I think it is working – I will let you know after I have my second vax and get my blood test..  We all have to be injected with the covid vaccine – we all need “The Method”.  If this works for him it will work for us, and thousands say it does.

Go to his web site, and yes, “THERE IS AN APP FOR THAT”.

 

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON ZOOM (or flying around the room with joy)
NAMASTE – JAHNE

 

 

Dear Yogis,

Life goes on.  I think we are all over the various lockdowns, although they have not become second nature yet.  I guess that comes later.  The virus is not going away, and like the flu we will have to learn to deal with it.

I am coming up to my second jab next week which is OK because I have been making a point of building up my body and my systems to deal with the next influx of vaccine.  I will let you know how I go, and I will also let you know about the blood test I am going to have in a couple of weeks.  If you will recall I had one just before the first jab, and it will be interesting to see the difference.

CLASS SCHEDULE
ZOOM until everyone has caught up with at least the first covid shot.
FRIDAY tonight 6.45pm The Tarot.  We will be looking at the last houses, how we can use the tarot every day, how we can use them in our various practices.  I would also like to start another “Make your own Tarot” class.
YOGA:  Monday 1pm, Wednesday 5.30, Friday 5.30
STUDY: Tarot Friday 6.45, Sunday CCP (Death Doula), Monday 6.30 Teacher Training,
Tuesday 7.30 CCP (Death Doula).

INSPIRATION FOR THE DAY:  Instead of just meditating, imagine you are curled up in a TRAVELLING DREAM CLOUD (You can even sit in a chair for this).  Get really comfy, close your eyes, lie back and imagine that your TRAVELLING DREAM CLOUD supports you and pulls up over you.  Your cloud protection (not that you really need this).  Just bring your imagination to the game and your cloud will float you through space and time to wherever you would like to go, and will gently land in your happiest places.  Try it.

 

I will see you on the cloud.

JAHNE.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Are you busy to visit your hypnotist, past-life consultant, mindfulness instructor, or therapist yet need a boost to make a decision, relax, drain pain or trauma, clean up your act, be proactive, achieve your goals or get along with your mate?  Then keep reading, and decide to do a zoom session with me…

Today we will talk here about food.  Covid has not been good for the waistline I think?

We have become nations (not just one nation) obsessed with food, mainly because advertising encourages us every day to go overboard with this or that food, this or that diet.. Eating – the alchemy of digestion and new cell formation is at the source of life process itself.

Many of us try many diets before just giving in and eating whatever we feel like.  This is satisfying for our desires and cravings, but not good for health or the image in the mirror.

Here’s a new thought.  A “proper diet” is all a state of mind.  The food we eat tunes our systems to a vibrational code.  When this happens we absorb pure life energy through the breath, and we create new tissues through the direct processes of thought.  The food we eat acts as a catalyst to these processes.

This reminds me of homeopathics in which a remedy in a highly diluted form can have a more powerful effect than a massive dose of the same substance.  We are primarily made of water, so taking our food homoeopathically could still sustain us – but I am sure that you are like me, you like to chew an apple and have the pleasure of the “substance of food”.

It is not your negative eating patterns which lead you to becoming unattractive and unhealthy, it is your negative thoughts and feelings which have kept you trapped, ageing, and dying quicker than you had planned.  Negative feelings encourage and hold on to fat.  Releasing excess weight in our hearts and minds releases excess weight in our bodies.

Released from self pity, blame guilt and self loathing, we will be released from the helplessness that has held us back from being the body (and the person) we would like to be.  We will (maybe for the first time) be full, free, and satisfied.

Knowing yourself is the key. In our sessions, Gifts previously hidden appear, together with this money which is often a source of dread and discomfort becomes enormous fun and is therefore more abundant, and the pain and unhappiness (suffering) which stifles the life force will disappear. 

My plan, is a plan for everyone, all of us, who are dragging around emotional and spiritual weights which have added to the weight of our mind, body and spirit.  Let us transform our mind our body and the world one yogi at a time.

Your physical body, your physical self responds to the attitude you have towards it. Your mind always rules your body.  Email to make an appointment with me:  yogafirst2@bigpond.com

I WILL SEE YOU ON THE MAT – ZOOM MAT?

NAMASTE.  JAHNE
