Dear Yogis,

I have almost decided how to get over the problems we are having.. problems?  Finding times when we can all get together.  Rather than Zoom classes, I am going to VIMEO them, and then you can download and watch at your leisure.  You (and I) won’t be tied to a time frame.  In the meanwhile you can chat with me on Zoom (fingers crossed!) about your path forward.

AS I HAVE ALERTED YOU BEFORE,  There is a major paradigm shift unfolding in 2020 with clues to your future being revealed right now.   The stage is being set by expansive Jupiter, taskmaster Saturn, and transformational Pluto, as they all move into retrograde for the next several months.  That is what I was responding to yesterday, but I got a good long sleep, a few meditation opportunities, and I am feeling more together now.  I know the road forward, I can deal with difficulties – How about you?

The result of this retrograde, and it is a big one, these planetary influences will be slowing down. This slow-down is pushing us to reflect on the changes, and pressures occurring in the world, but also in our individual lives.  You can pretend it is not happening, but yogis, IT IS.

We practising yogis are sensitive to planetary changes.  I haven’t responded to the world  as I am now which is only natural because this is a once in 500 years occurrence…  The last time, this Saturn + Pluto aligned in Capricorn was in 1518…coinciding with the Protestant Reformation. At that time even the Catholic Church went through a major upheaval.

Right now – Saturn, which rules economics, government, and business, is being overhauled by transformational Pluto…I strongly expect and am truely hoping that Governments here and overseas will be substantially restructuring.  Wouldn’t that be good!

Jupiter and Saturn align every 20 years, origin in with them a new cycle of business, politics, and social trends.  Over the past 2 centuries, they have been repeated in Earth signs.  This was a time when we saw the industrial revolution.  Now we will be witness to the technological revolution.

As I have been telling my clients….from December 2020, these planets now retrograde,  will shift into air signs for the next 180 years, which will mark  the birth of a new era, creating enormous shifts in the realms of ideas, communications, freedom, and technology.  You may think there is too much on-line, too much reliance on technology now – just wait!   This prominent shift marks the beginning of full steam ahead for the Information Age, as we reflect on recent technological breakthroughs.  There is the promise of many more shifts to come.

It is not all about tearing down of old structures, there will be healing and re-building.  It is not a bad thing.  For healing to occur we need to know the truth, to repent.. to forgive, and then we can move forward.

I am looking at myself, and asking you – What will be restructured in your life?

I am a Capricorn, and I know that as this Saturn conjunct Jupiter begins,  it’s new major cycle in Capricorn throughout 2020, peaking in Aquarius by December 2020…Jupiter brings the promise of opportunities, as Saturn compels us to work hard to manifest our goals. Capricorns ALWAYS work hard, so this is a good time.  Hard to negotiate, but great results.  

And for you?  If you keep going forward, not losing sight of the road ahead, not being caught up in all the bad/fake news Jupiter will bring you all the rewards you’ve been striving towards.

Essentially…We are about to witness unprecedented changes among Society, Government, and Business trends that will transform the future of our lives, and the Earth itself.

This is no time for looking backward with longing, but for reaching forward with excitement and anticipation… holding close to the “YOGA WAY”.

Have a great, clear day.

Namaste.. Jahne

Dear Yogis…

What a day yesterday – a whirlwind of emotions, frustrations, learnings, acceptances, refusals….  I was warned by both the stars and my pendulum, but I don’t often get in the middle of a retrograde storm, and it was not nice.  The positive energy vortex is where I try to live.

 

Yesterday I wasn’t sure if I was the person on the empty chair, the empty chair or the sculpture, wooden and waiting.   I feel more on track today which is a good thing.  I was told to get back on the mat frequently today and I have and will.

I am still not sure about zoom CLASSES.  Not because I don’t want to do them (and it is not my favourite thing), but because we are all doing so many things to keep afloat that I just can’t co-ordinate classes for my students.  Either they are too busy or I am too busy.  No time suits us all.  However, I still am keen on monthly teacher training,   and I am exploring other ways to do things.  The monthly in-person class is safe, and maybe a following Sunday on-line teacher training class will be an option.  We’ll see.

Maybe if I can do something via a video and then you can access it whenever you want would be the perfect answer.  Maybe I can do something like that and I am exploring that option.  Until then, from Monday I will be available for on-line zoom consults – one-on-one.  They will be $85 rather than the $125 I charge for in-house.  Theoretically they will be one hour duration.  If you are interested, email me, book a time, Direct Debit the fee,  and I will send you your zoom ID close to the time.  It seems very removed from reality – but it is THE NEW REALITY and I just have to get used to it.

Yesterday, it didn’t help that I was exploring Covid to put in the newsletter, and concerned political parties and others were sending me negative news – it mounted up, gathered force, and soon I was getting all sorts of negativity from all sides, even from students.

I now know how the rest of the world feels.  It helps politicians if we are less alive, less positive,  because then we are less rebellious, more “normal”, more obedient… we are less of a danger to them and more pliable.  If you are really alive, and yoga helps you to be that, you are a danger to everyone who tries to exploit you -who is a parasite.

Who among you would rather die than be a slave, because even death for a fully alive person is not death – it is the culmination of life.  Even when dying he goes on living intensely and totally.  He is not afraid of death, he is not afraid of anything.

Below is a link to an article about Covid and Ventilators.  It is a true article as far as I can tell (and there are not that many), but if you are not wanting to think about it, don’t open it. If you do open it you have the option if at any time you need this facility to choose.  The picture is a whole lot different than the media paint.

Here’s why hospitals use ventilators, how they work, and what happens once you come off one.

I say you my students, that LIFE IS ITS OWN GOAL.  Drop all goals, drop all ideas of the future.  forget completely that there is going to be a tomorrow.  Be totally concentrated on the present moment, the here and now.  In living this way, concentrated on a single moment, we will be able to know life in its eternity.

Remember, from next week I will be available for one on one zoom consults….  Decide on a time by looking on my schedule in “classes” on the web site.  Don’t choose a time when I am teaching please.  We will also have to work around other consults.  Give yourself a few options.  When you do come on line, have your questions organised and written down.  It is amazing how blank your mind goes when you are sitting in front of a screen.  If you would prefer the phone, then that is an option.  We can also do one-on-one keeping in mind all the covid restrictions….washing, health, distancing.  But it is possible.  Payment:$85 for zoom and phone $125 for one-on-one. To book/enquire. Email me: yogafirst2@bigpond.com

Another beautiful day in Paradise….

Have a happy sunny day – watch funny movies (laugh a lot)

NAMASTE -Jahne

 

 

Dear Yogis,

ZOOM:  I have had ONE response to zoom classes = not enough interest, but lots of interest in Teacher Training and Tarot.  So, we will begin our ZOOM experiment with Teacher Training.  I would like to start at 7pm on Monday 29th June unless something changes.  There is a charge just as if you were sitting in front of me, no difference.  I will contact each of you with regards to the charge and when that has been sorted will send you the zoom ID.

I have to report on covid today.  Some suburbs are hot spots and as a result, we are again in semi-lockdown and already the toilet paper in our local Coles is running low I am told.  It has caused the abbreviation of our Sunday Tarot Meet-Up.  I can only take 5 persons, and none from a hot-spot suburb, and all the other covid requirements re health apply. Please register if you meet requirements and would like to join me.  We need to be safe.  It is up to each of us to keep others in mind.

Covid News.

There have been LARGE outbreaks of corona virus in meat processing plants across the UK and Europe.  This is not because the virus likes a meat diet, but because of the way this particular group of workers do their jobs.  The production is loud so they have to shout thus spreading droplets far and wide.  Although they wear protective gear – usually not masks, they are close together so any infection is spread quickly, and the climate in the factories is wet, cold and dark, all things the virus likes.   PLUS the majority of workers in these factories have limited understanding of the local language, so they don’t understand the dangers (something we are finding in Australia).  NOTE: It is extremely unlikely that you could catch corona virus from meat products.  There is no evidence of this.

CANNABIS AND COVID.

As you know, via the Kannabis Kitchen and Wild’nWeedy I have been the voice in the wilderness with regards to cannabinoids, however, it seems Cannabinoid medicines could be the key to combating the leading cause of death related to COVID-19 infections, (says Melbourne biotechnology company Impressions Healthcare).

The company has commenced animal studies to assess its IHL-675A drug against sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (SAARDS). IHL-675A is made up of cannabidiol (CBD) and hydroxychloroquine – historically used to treat malaria.

In many cases COVID-19 causes only mild symptoms. But once patients become critical and need the use of ventilators, SAARDS is the most likely cause of death thereafter. It is also a leading cause of death associated with some lung, urinary tract, stomach and skin infections.

The initial trial involves the drug treating rodents with induced sepsis, also known as septic shock or septicaemia, which occurs when the immune system overreacts to an infection and produces excessive levels of cytokines.   “Elevated levels of those cells secrete more cytokines, and this ‘cytokine storm’ recruits even more immune cells, fuelling a cascading cycle that eventually damages the host tissues and organs,” according to Impressions Healthcare.  Childrens’ immune system being less developed does not react so aggressively which may be the reason they seem to have a natural immunity.

SAARDS is a result of the lungs being damaged by this hyperinflammatory response and is characterised by widespread inflammation of the lungs – known as pneumonia or wet lung – which hampers the body’s ability to oxygenate blood.  IHL-675A may limit the progression of infections to sepsis hyperinflammation caused by the cytokine storm feedback loop.

NUTRITION

Apart from this report which associates cannabinoids with a possible “cure” for the sepsis associated with covid, no-one is really focussing on what we all can do to make ourselves resistant. I am using my own CBD boosted moisturisers and face cream.  It’s easy and I don’t have to think about it.    This virus is not going to magically disappear, however, we should respect it.  It needs a host, and if we become resistant it will no longer be able to invade us, or if it does,  it will result in a cold, not a full blown attack.   The responsibility is in our court.  I am not saying eating your greens will protect you entirely, but if you do take a more responsible attitude to eating a rounded and nutritious breakfast, lunch and dinner (and adequate supplementation of Vit.C, D3, and zinc especially) , you will be doing the absolute best thing you can for your family (and yourself).

I am keeping in mind and implementing for myself the Chinese recommendations.  They are doing the washing and sanitising, they are also doing the salt gargle when they come in after work or being with others.

Keep warm, keep well (and laugh often – it boosts the immune system.  Maybe that is why children are more immune to the virus, they laugh a lot).)

NAMASTE – JAHNE
