Dear Yogis,

FRIDAY:11am the ZOOM CAFE. 
Free, casual but quite important.  Not everything needs an exam at the end.  Just being together is important

FRIDAY: 5.30 RESTORATIVE YOGA,  6.45 The first of our FREE PENDULUM CLASSES.  Please come to any or or all.  This pendulum class will start you out if you haven’t done it before. Email me if you want to come to the class on Friday and I will send you the zoom ID. – it is FREE:  yogafirst2@bigpond.com
SATURDAY 12.30 RESTORATIVE YOGA   2PM TAROT CLASS – We are still making our tarot.  You can join in at any point

If you want to come to any of these classes, please go to the HOME page of our web site WWW.YOGABEAUTIFUL.COM.AU.  The classes are all listed.  Decide which you want to join, and pay for them quickly and easily USING THE DONATE BUTTON.  Don’t use the other one, it has a glitch.

ANYONE CAN USE A PENDULUM

This class (the tarot class also) is based on my lifetime of experiences of dowsing and healing.  My background of course is in yoga, which added to the knowledge I already had of why and how the pendulum works.  You could call it “energy work”.

I spoke to Professor Brian Cox (the AstroPhysicist)  about my work with the pendulum.  He thought I had lost my marbles. I also spoke to The Late Professor Dr.Carl Sagan about this work.  Carl was much kinder and was prepared to understand… My answer to the scientists is to consider the work of Emoto and his book about the memory water, the great leap forward when Motoyama located the meridians electrically,  and the healing possibility unleashed when Hannemann and Bach put together Homeopathic tinctures.  No matter the modality – If it works it works.  

I make pendulums, Pendulum Boards and pendulum charts, and they are all on my web sites for you to discover, and to own.

I use my pendulum many times a day.. it helps me choose when faced with number of options, moves me in the direction of success, and generally is a trusted mentor and guide.  This close relationship will not happen if you don’t have patience.

It is like learning a new language.  In the beginning it is difficult, until it becomes second nature, then we just use it.  I was talking to an Admin Assistant in a lawyers office this morning.  She was taking our conversation down in long hand.  Fairly primitive.  I asked her why she did this, and she said she hadn’t been taught shorthand (or hadn’t taken the opportunity because it was too hard).  I learned at school, and I still use it.  In fact when the lawyer heard I knew shorthand he offered me a job.  It is still a valuable skill – not as valuable as knowing the language of the pendulum.

My intention in the classes (Friday at 6.45pm and on Saturdays as 2 as part of the tarot class) is to give an insight about what lies behind dowsing and its application primarily to health, rather than a series of   “do this – do that” type of exercises and demystify dowsing as much as possible.

The truth lies in simplicity and keeping an open mind.   

It is one thing to read about the pendulum, it is another thing to take your courage in both hands and experience it for yourself.

For me, dowsing has become an invaluable tool, particularly in the area of health and healing.  Used wisely, it can enormously increase your ability to improve your own health and the health of others.  My life would have been considerably poorer if I had not explored this ancient gift.  Email me if you want to come to the class on Friday and I will send you the zoom ID. – The class  is FREE:  Email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com

PLEASE MARK DOWN SUNDAY AT 10AM in your diary and make every effort  to join us for the series on The Bhagavadgita.  This week we are going to consider how passages in the Gita and the Bible speak to the one theme. You will enjoy it.  Last Sunday we wandered through the ancient UPANISHADS.  The foundation of yoga and the books which contain the Gita.  If you really want to know what yoga was, and is, you won’t want to miss these.

 

I have a new dowsing web site – it is functional although still under construction.  If you want to be on the DOWSING email/newsletters list,  PLEASE,   let me know..  www.firstmountaindowsers.com

 

NAMASTE:  JAHNE

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Yogis,

ZOOM
WEDNESDAY: 12.30 RESTORATIVE, 5.30 RESTORATIVE, 6.45 MINDFULNESS MEDITATION
FRIDAY: 11am ZOOM CAFE, 5.30 YOGA, 6.45 FREE DOWSING/PENDULUM CLASS.

 

MY EVERYDAY GO-TO.
EVERYDAY I read spiritual books (and the Bible), yes, I meditate and do yoga, but at the same time I use the pendulum.  It is a friend.  I use it to determine the vitamins I need, how many, and when. I use it to decide about planting and changes in the garden, water management in the garden (I am still learning this), finding things, even getting rid of rabbits.  I use it all the time, and have made pendulums and  boards to help me, and to show you.

I have a free PENDULUM CLASS THIS FRIDAY AT 6.45pm on zoom.  If you are interested Email me, I will send you the ID and you can pop in.  I don’t know how long this introductory class will proceed, but let’s give it a try.  If you like it, if you think you can learn something, we will do more.

SUNDAY TEACHER TRAINING;
Isn’t really TEACHER Training, it is training for us all.  I learn from doing the research, making sure the facts are right and the direction is the right one.   There are those among my students (and readers?) who are allergic to the word GOD, but we can’t read the Upanishads (which we have been doing), or the ‘Gita without encountering Him.  I don’t mind what your understanding of this energy is, just that you have an open mind.

This coming Sunday we are going to be looking at chapters in the Bible which speak of the writer’s encounters with God and comparing that with Arjuna and Krsna’s encounter in the ‘Gita.  They are different, but the same.  Come along… not armed to argue, but to learn, which I love to do.  Exchange ideas, dialogue, have a conversation with an open mind.  You can’t read the Gita without encountering God.

For some of you, our Sunday mornings with the Bible and the ‘Gita will be your first encounter with the text, whilst others may have read both frequently.  In either case, our sessions represent an opportunity for beginners and graduates alike.  Because I also am learning and need things to be simple, I will guide you in simple, accessible way to the heart of these books/topics.  I think you will find these sessions engaging, and illuminating.

Please make room for this two hours in your week, I am giving you plenty of time to plan your weekend.

SEE YOU IN CLASS – YOGA, ART OR PENDULUM… AND TEACHER TRAINING.

NAMASTE – JAHNE

 

 

 

Dear Yogis,

ZOOM
TODAY (TUESDAY):  7.30 The CHAKRAS (a further investigation).  I am hoping this can morph into an ART AND YOGA EXPERIENCE, working through the chakras using art, yoga movement and meditation.
WEDNESDAY: 12.30 RESTORATIVE YOGA, 5.30 RESTORATIVE YOGA, 6.45 MINDFULNESS MEDITATION

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
We have been doing some exciting things whilst we were waiting for you to come home.

“ART AND YOGA” – This is three session ZOOM Workshop experience (and in the studio when we can).  Starting Sunday 25th October 1.30 to 4.30pm for three sessions ($152.50).  We will be working through the chakras using art and yoga.  This is suitable for all levels of experience.  The yoga will be “KUNDALINI” style yoga, and the art is an extension of ZEN DOODLING.

 

TAROT
This might not seem applicable to where you are at, but in this class we have a student making tarot cards, but we also have students making Affirmation Cards, Mindfulness Cards, and GITA Tarot cards.  Cards that can be used in the yoga classroom when we get back.

They are taking this class down really exciting paths using watercolours, doodling, collage, paper ripping… Learning everything there is to know about making cards, greeting cards and publishing – even making the little book that goes with the cards.
Join us even if you think you are not artistic – you might be surprised.

 

 

PENDULUM BOARDS
When the students are ready for a new project and when Stages 3/4 are lifted slightly
we will start new projects.  Our students are having a great time with what started out as a tarot card making, and  has evolved in all directions – I am just the guide.  Next we will make PENDULUM BOARDS.  These can be used with the pendulum, but they are also great artworks which can be featured on a wall, or used as a tabletop under glass.  There are many ways they can be used.

To the right is a photo of my current board project.  I love making them as they incorporate collage, paint, pencils.. a real mixed media bag.  They can be constructed on thick board or as mine are, on plywood.  If you want to join in, you can at any point.  The cost is $50 for three classes.  After the first three classes the students could have wandered off, but we have been going for quite a number of repeats, so it must be fun.  JOIN US.

I am starting more classes starting next Monday 12th at 6.45pm, Saturdays at 10am, and the regular Saturday  2pm class. Let me know if you are interested and we will go from there.

WALKING THE SACRED PATH OF “MAKING ART”…
Making and contemplating the Pendulum Board for me is a metaphor for the Spiritual Journey and as a tool for transformation. “Making” quiets my mind and opens my soul.  WALKING THE SACRED PATH OF “MAKING” shares the discoveries of modern day seekers.  Our classes show us the potential of art to inspire change and renewal, and serves as a guide to help us develop the higher levels of awareness we need to survive the place we find ourselves.  A marriage between soul and spirit.

SEE YOU IN CLASS.

NAMASTE JAHNE
