WEDNESDAY:  12.30 RESTORATIVE  5.30 RESTORATIVE and 6.45 MINDFULNESS MEDITATION

On a personal note… I am working through,  and almost finished a number of projects.  I usually have four books on the go at once (THE GNOSTIC GOSPELS, JESUS THE MAN, DAMASCUS, and a magazine on writing from NEW ORLEANS), in the same way I usually have more than one project happening.  I am almost finished my ADVANCED HOMEOPATHY CERTIFICATE – BACH FLOWER REMEDIES, (I just have the case studies to do), The MINDFULNESS PROJECT, the current REVELATION PENDULUM BOARD, and catching up with a SILHOUETTE PORTRAIT I promised. Oh, and getting three Pendulum boards printed (not as easy as it sounds).

CONSULTATIONS:  Zoom Bach Flower remedies – $35 per session (plus $5 postage) and at the moment I will post your remedy to you.  Tarot, Pendulum etc $85 per session (about an hour) Email me for a chat, and we will make a zoom, email or phone call time. Email: yogafirst2@bigpond.com.

BACH FLOWERS: The flowers are wonderful at the moment and I will be out there collecting to make remedies – maybe you are doing the same.  Gorse, broom, wisteria, oak, ash…(the pic to the right is my verandah).

My hero is the Late Mr.Von Moger.  He died many years ago but I will never forget him.  He didn’t have consult times, people just arrived and mostly the queue snaked out of his front gate.  He only took a few minutes per client (really) – often didn’t even speak,  and the remedies were perfection – he didn’t ask what was needed, he just knew..  $20 per person was what he charged.  This to me is what service is all about. At the moment I can’t open my door like he did, but you can email and zoom me.  Keep note that for $35 you will not get a long “counselling style” consult, and I will post your remedies.

THE OTHER SIDE.

Because I am working every day with my pendulum and boards in order to make new boards, “the other side” is always close by, and I am constantly chatting with my family and friends who have passed.

There have been a number of deaths in our community this year, thankfully those who have (recently) gone before have been there to be the “ushers” for the new arrivals.  One whom I worked with before his death and after,  helped me to understand more of what happens.  I know he had difficulty transitioning but we have to realise that time there,  and time here is quite different. And whilst I may think that transitioning took quite a long time,  it was no time at all for him.

I used to grieve when people died, but I don’t any more.  I feel like cheering at funerals – more often than not, a difficult time has come to an end.  Listen up people – please, there is no need to visit the grave! The person you are going to visit is probably in the car, and rides back home with you.  It would be better to light a candle, put the flowers you were taking to the grave in a vase, and speak to the person who is probably right there with you. If you have regrets, they don’t, they know everything.  Just talk about how you feel as if they were in the room and sitting next to you.  Guess what, they are! They know everything, but it will make you feel better perhaps.  Please, don’t go into debt or feel that you should get a big, fantastic headstone.   If you want to do that, realise it is for you, and not for them.  However, it is totally OK if you want to do that.

Oh yes, pets.  Every pet you have ever had in any life – past or present – is waiting to totally love you to bits on the other side.  When you pass, guides and family always have a hard time making their way through the throng of pets to get to you.

You may feel lonely, but you are never alone.  Everyday you can feel the love and support from the other side if you would just sit still long enough for your loved ones to come through to you.  All you have to do is to recognise this connection when you see it, feel it or hear it.. that’s it.

WHILE  I AM STILL ON THIS SIDE – PLEASE COME TO CLASS (ZOOM).
NAMASTE.  JAHNE

 

 

 

Dear Yogis,

ZOOM
MONDAY: 1pm RESTORATIVE.
TUESDAY: 7.30 to 9pm THE SUTRAS (The beginning of a journey).

CONSULTATIONS:  Be aware that I am available for health/personal/business consults on zoom or email.  Or private yoga philosophy or yoga sessions.  Please email me to chat or book yogafirst2@bigpond.com:  $85 for a session which is about an hour.

PENDULUM: NEW CHARTS, NEW COURSES ON THE WAY.  What if you approached PENDULUM WORK and used this and your tarot as a DIVINE VOICE that can direct you to a life of MIRACULOUS outcomes.  It is a very powerful question and inspired me and my students/diviners all over the world to contemplate the Divine whilst working with THE REVELATION TAROT and their pendulums and boards.  Their results have been astounding.  JOIN US.

SUNDAY TEACHER TRAINING: Sunday 10am We opened the session with words from The Gospel According to Mary Magdalen.  The students were amazed how close these words are to the Bhagavadgita, Vedic Teachings and yoga.  The Chakras, The Yamas, Illusion, Impermanence – all there. Why did you miss it?  Next week we will probably look at The Gita via the Upanishads.  But who knows?  Be there.

THE SUTRAS: Tuesdays 7.30 to 9pm.  Only one day left before we start our journey into the Sutras.  One of the students asked me am I going to do more than one per session.  Answer – there are 195 Sutras, we are not doing 195 Tuesdays.  I will try and cover all the concepts, and delve into the sutras that are more simple philosophically (none of them are simplistic – but some may be more simple than others), and appear to be more accessible and practical.

To book to either of these.  Email me to let me know you are coming (so I can send you the ZOOM ID), go to the HOME page of the web site www.yogabeautiful.com.au look on the list and decide which classes you want to come to.  To pay, click on DONATE or PAY VIA PAYPAL 

MOVIES

I don’t often speak about movies, but I totally enjoy really good, deep movies – although when I feel like a romp,  I appreciate Cher and Bob Hoskins in MERMAID or Cher and Christina Aguillera in BURLESQUE…

What prompted this is two movies.  THE WHITE CROW (Foxtel 401 or +421 on demand,  or YOU TUBE) which is the story of Rudolph Nureyev (Google him if you don’t recall the name!)  and his defection to the West,  directed and starring Ralph Fiennes.  This is an amazing movie with quite a lot of ballet. Ralph plays an amazing part of Pushkin the Ballet master.  He is still, controlled but underneath you can sense the perfection of thought, and understanding of the body melded with spirit.  A man who does without doing – very Zen.  

This is a move that moves from artistic introspection to stunning ballet, and  then to the tense situation which actually occurred as Nureyev defected and the Russians tried to stop the process. This film helps us to understand how helpless one can feel when being threatened by a Government with great power, Russia at that time, and China today.. How when faced with this negative power (I was going to say evil) you have to cut family ties, and not even think of what may happen to them,  believing they would want what is best for you no matter the cost.  Having good friends in high places is always useful – and when it counted Rudi did.

The second movie is LARS AND THE REAL GIRL.  (I emailed those students I thought might be interested – Foxtel 409 on demand or YOUTUBE).  This movie is worth recording.  Lars is a young man (probably on the spectrum), who finds it impossible to make female friends but longs to.  He lives in a very small community in the Arctic (or that’s how it seems, lots of snow, very cold).  To solve this girl problem he purchases a full size sex type doll and pretends she is real, not just in private but as he lives and works in the town. He takes her to dinner parties, to the doctor when “she isn’t feeling well” and pushes her around to the supermarket in a wheel chair. The townspeople love Lars and respond to this dilemma by playing along, and allowing him to resolve his problem in a very loving way.  There is a beautiful resolution which I won’t retell because it will spoil the movie.

EVERYONE, go to the Home Page www.yogabeautiful.com.au to discover what is happening this week.  I will put out a newsletter when I can.. it may not be every day.  Anyone who thinks I have more hours in the day than they do (as Dianna Vreeland said) “is insane”. HOWEVER,  I use what free time I do have, to be with you…..

NAMASTE – JAHNE

WHAT IS NORMAL?

I remember having one of the very few  man-to-man conversations with my mum (before she died – I have plenty now).  She usually delivered a speech about how things should be, and how I had fallen short, but that is another story.

At the time of this conversation,  I was trying to answer a phone call, adjust the clunky old computer to match, cut vegetables for dinner, and deal with two hungry children.   Mum asked me what I would really like to be, I wanted to say “HELPFUL” just in case it would prompt her to ask if she could help, but I resisted.  I said “One day I would like to be a simple home-body”, and she said,  smiling at me “One day would be about as much as you could stand“.   I was so annoyed.  How could she say that – but guess what, she was right on the money.  I might have been hassled, but really, I designed my life and I loved it, just as I do now.  If I didn’t love it I would change it.  I couldn’t and I can’t do the home-body thing.  More than that, I have no inclination to do it at all.

Sometimes a man will come along,  pulled in,  not by me,  but by the feeling they say of calmness they feel around me which I attribute to years of yoga and meditation.  They think it is attraction.  It is not.  They might fall in love with who they think I am, however, I fall in love with a person that can’t be seen with the eyes, only sensed.  An amazing mind can make me swoon a little, and can even spark up a conversation, but really, it’s the heart and soul of a person that attracts me, makes me breathe deeply. My own source is “within”.  I fall in love with a person’s (usually broken) heart.

I am very careful about someone who wants to change me or wants to make me like them.  I never now am deaf to what my inner voice has to say – if I ignore it, then what happens is my fault. Let me say this right now, I have learned from Mary Magdalen we do not give away any of our power to anyone EVER.

We don’t have to compromise and settle for a version of ourselves that is “almost” us.  We don’t have to settle for a truth we don’t believe in, for instance when someone is telling us there is a better way to be human (they mean NORMAL  – whatever that is). We don’t have to fit in and be moulded to a shape that was never meant to fit us.

Isn’t that the most fabulous realisation you could ever have?  You don’t have to fit in! YOU ARE PERFECT JUST AS YOU ARE.

 

SEE YOU ON THE MAT.

NAMASTE – JAHNE
