Dear Yogis,

Last evening at our Tuesday Lectures, we talked about the chakras.  We know from reading that traditionally there are 88,000 chakras.  We know almost nothing about their energy.  Our knowledge is very “broad brush”, but when you meet someone who has worked on raising their vibration (although that may not have been their goal) you know it.  Take the Dalai Lama for instance.  When he walks into a theatre, or a cricket ground, the vibration across the entire space is changed.   Healing happens on many levels.

As you would know, last night’s exploration was wide – we only had 90 minutes. When we were thinking about higher vibrations, love, and how refining the energy and balancing our chakras changes lives, we also talked about “energy vampires” I am sure you have met them.  When you are near them you feel drained… they leave you depleted.  Time ran out without us considering the opposite very widely, we touched on it.  Ninety minutes isn’t much time for such an important subject.

Balancing the chakras thereby enhancing the energies around you is one of the major results of this work…  When this happens people want you around, and when you leave the room or the group you are with, they are also functioning on a higher vibration.  We work on ourself, because when we do this we are working on the world.  When we raise our vibration, we raise everyone’s vibration.

Apart from your experiences with the Dalai Lama, an example I could use is in the Bible.  The woman in the crowd who is suffering from “bleeding”, a terrible affliction at the time which will cut her out of normal society.  She would have been living in covid conditions for many years.  Isolation.  She goes to the meeting,  makes her way through to the front, and knows if she can touch the hem of Jesus’ robe she will be healed.  When she touches the robe He notices even in this big jostling crowd, and “feels the goodness go out of Him”.  He calls her out and they have a conversation.  Healing,  after many years of suffering  has happened in an instant.

This “goodness which goes out of Him” is the healing energies He has generated by the way he lives and works.  They are so defined, so precise that He knows when they have been accessed, even by a touch on the hem of his garment. Not so that He can stop people from being healed, but so that he can heal.   The vibrations, the energy will take care of the details.  If the energies are wrong, then healing won’t happen right away as it did in this case.  Healing at some level will happen in its own time.

The woman may have been praying before she decided to be healed in this way, she certainly would have been thinking about it, hoping that a change could happen. Wanting healing so badly that she was willing to face the consequences of bleeding, coming out of an imposed isolation, and being in a crowd of men.  She obviously believed that at some level healing could happen and had raised her vibration by her positive,  loving actions so that the healer’s energy allowed hers “in”, although she would not have thought about it in this way.  If her energy had been the same as those in the crowd, she would not have been able to access the Healer’s energy with a touch.

“To gain enlightenment, you must want it as much as a man whose head is held underwater wants air” – Zen saying.

 

KEEP WELL, KEEP WARM

NAMASTE.  JAHNE

Dear Yogis,

Yesterday I had a ZOOM MOMENT, as many of you have had.  You go to the site, click, click, click NOTHING.  The day before it was perfect.  Yesterday? Missing in action.   It took until yesterday evening but eventually the problem was solved.  Had to do with OS in the computer I was using.  Thank goodness I have a back-up computer (and technical help).  Thank you all for your patience.  We managed. It will happen again, we get better at dealing with it.

I apparently did make a mistake yesterday.  Teacher Training is on SUNDAY at 10am not Saturday.  This coming Sunday we will be starting an exploration of The Bhagavadgita. Please book your spot.  Go to DONATE at the bottom of the Home Page. Pay your $20 entry.  This will allow you to do the Sunday class, and the following Sunday repeat.

 

TUESDAY EVENING WORKSHOPS

This is the start of the next session of three workshops ($35) TODAY WE WILL BE STARTING OUT ON A CHAKRA ADVENTURE… I have become inspired as I hope you will be.  I started out thinking I would paint the chakras, but no… what emerged was a design containing all of the known geometric forms, and containing the five platonic solids and geometric forms of all faiths.. all together, as one.  This is the form one would use to stabilise the core essence of a moment. My painting comprises thirteen circles of light with interconnected lines of energy. A symbol which perhaps has been used by many cultures. As with all such grids,  it is how you use it, how you bring the energies into being that is unique to you.  Think about it – what about the chakras, about energy,  inspires you?

In considering the chakras it is the same idea.  When we work with these forms we are moving beyond the existence of solid physical form – matter as we know it –  into the more spiritual dimensions of existence.

Working with these powerful forms,  you will begin to understand that they are common to all traditions, as is the understanding of the chakras, another inter-dimensional form. My interpretation of the grid which incorporates the chakras,  can be used in a meditation space, and as a crystal grid for clearing, energising and protecting.

THE CHAKRAS

I am sure you all know the chakras, but are you thinking of them as you do your daily practice? Or do you only notice when you become ill?  Do you have a way to work with the chakras, crystals and grid to bring them into your life, so they are no longer just an idea, but are real energies… you can see them, feel them, work with them?

THE MEDICINE WHEELS CALLED THE CHAKRAS.

Life becomes smoother, easier, inspirational when we understand the chakra system and how it operates.

No “ONE”  is perfect. The cleaning, clearing, and repairing of your chakras enables you to connect with the inside world (your inner physical body, and the nourishment of it for health and balance). This would also necessitate the checking of the outer circles of your auric field. Have you considered its color?  Is it bright or dingy? Are there rips or openings in it? Is it damaged in any way? What do you need to do to repair it? Not everyone can see the aura or the chakras to determine their health, and that is where certain tools come into play.  They are particular to each of us and how we work with energy. There is no “right” way – there is only YOUR WAY.  And no exam at the end!

In our TUESDAY EVENING CLASS we consider the chakras, and what they are – Eastern and Western ideas. In our TAROT TRAINING classes on a Saturday, we are particularly focussing on energy and using the pendulum, and in this way we can check the chakra energy for ourselves and others simply.   We can imprint the correct vibration into an area, clearing and repairing it.  The Medicine Wheel, the geometric form keeps our intention firm.  JOIN US.

YOU ARE A POWERFUL BEING.  EXPLORE IT, BE IT, LIVE IT.

NAMASTE.  JAHNE

 

 

 

Dear Yogis,

Sorry you weren’t able to join us for the repeat of the Purushatras.  Although the message was the same, the class was different, so it was a totally new time together.  It was so lovely.  So thank you to those people who came. You are the reason I do what I do.  You can never learn the philosophy enough, I know – I read the modules.

Next SATURDAY at 10am we are going to start an EPIC journey.  We are going to walk through the BHAGAVADGITA.  Can’t wait.

TOMORROW at the Tuesday Lecture at 7.30pm, I am going to start on the CHAKRAS.  I don’t know how far we will get, but it will be a worthwhile investigation.  We will even start thinking about the vibratory body.

ZOOM SESSIONS:

YOUR ID’s: I will send you the zoom ID for the various sessions if you let me know you want to join.  Please open a folder on your desktop and put the zoom ID’s in it.  Last week people lost their ID’s (more than once). When I start the class I start the class..  I am always there 10 minutes before the start time, and if you are unsure about your entry or reception, please get on zoom BEFORE class and make sure everything is working.

YOUR FEES:  The classes have a charge.   Please keep track of your payments.  It’s easy.  I can check before start of each class, crossing you off a roster if that is what you want, but I would prefer to trust you to do the right thing.

If you have just joined the school, if you are a graduate or not.. Everyone pays for the classes they do.  It is the most economical way.  I can make a bulk charge for everything – but then you only win if you turn up every time.  If you can’t do a class you have booked for,  update me the day before.  If you are just absent, AWOL, it is your responsibility.

Click on the Donate Button (soon to be called PAYPAL button) and make a one-off payment of the required amount.  PayPal takes credit/debit cards and sends me the receipt when you pay.  Make sure you say what the payment is for when you enter the amount on PayPal..  We set this up to make it easy.
