Hi there beautiful yogis,

 

Today  I did a huge walk and “Wow” I had asked to be 25 years old again,  and I was.  I felt fantastic.  Didn’t even notice my body – I zipped through the walk and felt so inspired and strong on my return.  I don’t want to jog, it shortens the muscles, but my walking regime is going to get longer and longer…

When I came home made some  POCKET PENDANTS.  Aren’t they beautiful?

 

These POCKET PENDULUMS are for sale. I will put them on etsy because that is easy.    I have spoken with my guide Nadoyan and he suggests $27.25 for each pendant including Australian postage. Who am I to argue?  So If you want one for yourself, a friend, Mother’s Day (I do have two of some – all tested, all responsive, each more beautiful than the other), please go to etsy.  www.myyogabooks.etsy.com or jahnehopewilliams.net.  

They all come with a little booklet with HOW TO basics.  There is a big book with a chart on etsy – but this is small and a good start, and of course there is the videos “jahne hope-williams YouTube”.  These pendulums can answer anything I want to know the answer to.  I don’t want to know when this home-stay will finish.  I am having far too good a time, and learning heaps about myself. Who knew?

PLUS, I am making jewelled face masks – who wants “ordinary”? Not me!   I am also making boiled wool tumble dryer balls because I love using them – they save money and time, and the clothes come out smelling fantastic and lint free…  I will put everything I do on etsy.  What are you making?

What are you learning?  Whilst I was out walking I met a  lovely young lady with three dogs – cattle dogs she said and I think she was right.  She was a dog walker, and just prattled on about the dogs and her father, and what she was doing, and how.  It was so wonderful to make that connection with another human. Unguarded, free.  Just communication and connection.  She didn’t cross the road to avoid my germs, she wasn’t dressed for outer space, she didn’t measure the space. She just kept her distance – well, the dogs determined the distance, and we talked and laughed.  It was so refreshing.  As I walked I noticed all the new weed growth, the fungi, there great things that are happening beside the creek.  Tomorrow I will bring the garden scissors and a plastic bag and collect enough greens for tea.  Where were you?

I feel fantastic, rested, and ready to do new things – take on new things.  I would love to work with you, help you on the path.  I make the remedies, the pendants, the charts.  Everything to help you.  Please contact me and let me know where we can go from here.

Good morning Yogis,

To begin with,   I would like to say how much I miss all of you, those usually coming to teacher training, those usually coming to class, and workshops.  I hope that you are supporting each other, looking after your body, your mind and your spirit..  I am hoping that you will rush to join us when this has subsided and in the meanwhile I offer my love, my prayers and my blessings to you all.  In spite of everything that is happening in the world I am inspired by yogis across the planet meditating, breathing, chanting,  helping others and helping themselves find their inner connection.  What a wonderful opportunity for growth we have been given. Tap into our FREE Covid (and other) videos on “Jahne Hope-Williams YouTube” 

As a yoga philosopher, what I would ask you to think about it this.  You have heard about the “Butterfly Effect?” ie “A butterfly in the Amazon flaps its wings and a guy in New York  dies”  Well what about this…Someone in Wuhan sneezed, someone in a little principality of China that we had never heard of before got a cold and a fever and the world became a place of turmoil and fear, and many people died.  “We are all connected”.  We have used these words hundreds of times.  We have imagined it to be so, but NOW, now we have the proof.

The virus has been there all along.  An ancient organism waiting its turn.  It wasn’t something new, it had been there all the time, waiting.  The question I would like you to contemplate is this – what caused it to emerge?  I am not talking about the wet markets which have been there hundreds of years, I am talking about karma, about spirit, about cause and effect.  What gave this little ancient creature the prod, the impetus to multiply and proliferate just at that moment in time and in that way?  What was the tipping point?  This little organism needed the perfect environment and maybe by not caring for the planet or ourselves, we have been responsible for its growth.  I am not a scientist I am a yogi and I believe that nothing is accidental.  We are responsible for what happens on the planet, and the Covid is the result, not the cause.  Our planetary spiritual vibration reached such a low ebb that this little virus was given a chance at life because the conditions became available.  Every virus is an opportunist, and  just takes advantage of what is available, they don’t  create the situation.   I wonder if in my Past Life Process I will meet this organism?  If I do, I will let you know.  It could happen.

I would say to you that this little bug is not going to go away.  It may retreat, we may find ways to kill it here and there, but it will always be with us.  We have to be prepared for this, and for whatever comes next.  Not new.  I have been waving my arms about this for a long time… now maybe you are listening.  It is important that we yogis who are holding the planet in our spiritual arms keep practicing – doing our asanas.  More practice, more practice, more practice.  Together let’s get really healthy in body, mind and spirit, so that no matter what emerges we are ready in body, mind and spirit to stand strong.  That is why we do yoga is it not?

It is time to imagine (and bring into being) a better and brighter tomorrow.  Tap into our healing practices to power-up our own inner healing.  Health and vitality at every level gives us the ability to overcome and recover.  Maintain your equilibrium and tranquility no matter what you face.  It is the yoga way.

Do your asana practice and most importantly take time to breathe – alternate nostril breathing to enliven and strengthen the nervous system, belly breathing and stomach lifts to strengthen the respiration and  awaken the heart chakra.  Fill your whole system with strength, power and enthusiasm.  My walks have become “Gratitude Walks”.  “Thank you for the breath, thank you for the breeze, thank you for the footpath, thank you for the creek.”…and so on for the entire walk and when possible out loud even if you do look nuts – I often do, so no one pays attention.

and most importantly MEDITATE.

As I said yesterday “SEE YOU AT THE TOP”.   NAMASTE.  JAHNE

Another PS: those of you who are doing yoga-on-line, check that your insurance covers this? It may not, or there may be restrictions.  AON has a special COVID department to answer all of these questions. Go to their web page.

Dear Yogis,

In this time of REST AND RENEWAL, plan for SELF IMPROVEMENT followed by GROWTH.  You didn’t think you would ever have the time – but thank you, the Universe has given it to us in spades.

Your checklist:

GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE:  The government is busting its boilers to give us as much assistance as it can, because figures tell it that if we can weather the financial storm, then the September quarter financially will be like The Roaring 20’s.  But we have to pull in our belts somewhat until then.  Figures show us that during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 in the USA,  the States who recovered most successfully and the quickest were the States who had home-stay and masks imposed for longer. The UK didn’t do as well because Churchill used the chaos to take the opportunity to devalue the currency.

BANK ASSISTANCE:  Your bank wants you! Therefore they are doing everything they can to keep you.  If you want to renegotiate anything, now is the time.  If you are not a good negotiator, find one.  I personally have discovered a few errors in how we reported to the bank and the ATO and how they interpreted our figures.  This will make a huge difference going forward.  This is your chance to do the same.

READ/WATCH. FIND SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE AND COPY THEM – COMING FROM NOWHERE: Use this time to improve your game – or find your game. Don’t wish things were easier, wish you were better.  Those studies you have left hang, new courses you wanted to do, new directions you wanted to take?  Now is the time.  If you want to become a new and better you, then use this time to achieve it.

After I lost my house in the bushfires, I was able to ask “Who am I, who do I want to be?” The past had been burned away.  Right now, the past has been taken away from you, and you have the time (and community support – you are not alone in this)  to ask the same question ‘WHO AM I, AND WHO DO I WANT TO BE”.  Then you set about achieving that.  The great athlete Chris Evert said that most of her career was based on desire.  What about the swimmer Kieran Perkins who came from nowhere to win Gold.  I think you will find that almost everyone who has succeeded in their career will tell you the same.

The difference is that the Government and the Banks, and the schools will do everything to help you to lift your game.  Do courses, become a new person, improve your qualifications do what you have always wanted to do.  Use the time wisely, you may never have this situation again.

Statistics tell us, financial forecasts tell us (you don’t need a crystal ball)  that from late August and Early September onwards we are going to enter a period of great growth – just as happened after the Spanish Flu.  The government is investing big time (in the USA, trillions of dollars)  and when those returns start to roll in for big business, economies are going to go gang-busters…. I have used the term ROARING TWENTIES because these special times came AFTER the Spanish Flu.  There were hard times in the ‘forties for sure, but with hindsight, and the new you, we can be ready for anything!

Don’t wait until then to prepare – get ready NOW.  Are people going to need yoga? More than ever.   BE PREPARED TO EXPAND AND GROW. Be grateful for this wonderful opportunity.

“I WILL SEE YOU AT THE TOP”     Namaste.  Jahne
