Dear Yogis,

Nothing and EVERYTHING to report.  Clients are moving to warmer climates, some to Europe, and some to America – we are staying right here on the basis that everything always changes, we don’t have to go out looking for change. I will just contemplate THE HERMIT, and do what I do best.

We have been having some great Monday evening classes.  Not packed with students I must say, but thrilling material – all from The Gita – and from life.  Where ever you read in the Gita you will find the yamas and yoga, and from that point of view it is not a mystery and there is always a starting point, even if the end takes a bit of getting to.  But we manage.

I look forward to see you sometime.  Don’t forget our Yoga Luncheon is on Saturday at 12noon at the “Full Moon Saloon” in Woodend.  You are all welcome.

NEXT STUDIO TEACHER TRAINING Sunday 25th February at 2.30.  Please come.

Dear Yogis –

I am inspired by an artist (now deceased and helping from the other side) called Emma Kuntz.  She lived in Switzerland, and was unusual in so far as she used her pendulum to plot rather elaborate healing mandalas for her clients.  Just doing one took sometimes 45  hours, and she did many.  When completed, these inspirational artworks were placed between herself and her client in her healing place, and the power of the invoked energies was used for healing.  She is greatly esteemed as a healer still, and is gaining a reputation posthumously as an artist.  As usual she was not valued in her lifetime, but her work has since been welcomed into galleries around the world.  Apart from the therapeutic aspect of her work, her mandalas are very intricate and show great skill.

The drawing to the left (unfinished when I photographed it) is one I made using her method.  The energy I asked for through my guide was of abundance.  Since I began it I have noticed a difference of energies in the house, and I certainly have more energy (if you don’t have energy you can’t have abundance!) and I am bouncing off the walls.  I am beginning a new “Emma Drawing” today, and am looking forward to where this will take me.

Every stroke, every colour, every line is determined by my guide (Emma and others including Nadoyan) – I just have to know enough to ask the right questions, and do as I am told of course. I start with a question, and then use my drawing implements and pencils to get to the guide’s desired end.   I think I will do a set to link with the chakras for healing and rebalancing so that you too can experience this wonderful energy generated by the guide’s designs. If you are pulled to these designs, and would like to experience them as they evolve, please let me know.  

 

INVITATION TO THE BEGINNING OF LENT…  THINK “BABETTES FEAST”.  In the absence of a regular Priest, the Executive and Congregation of St.Mary’s Anglican Church in Woodend has been exploring worship options, and this one below is centred around a meal.    
A music/ fellowship afternoon on Sunday Feb 18th will be held in St.Marys Anglican Church Hall (The Norma Richardson Hall) in Woodend.  It will be followed by a shared meal incorporating a Communion Liturgy. Please come, please spread the word. It will be a relaxed afternoon of singing and fellowship as they revise some of the songs which have not been played / sung for a while.
Who:   Everyone is welcome to attend for all or part of the program below.
Food:   Please bring something to share for dinner. Tea and coffee provided but please BYO wine or other drinks.
The music:  They will  focus on revising some of some songs learnt and some less familiar TIS songs and also a couple from Songs of Grace….
If you are a Musician or singer, I can send a link to dropbox with the words and music of items that are not in TIS.
Liturgy: During the meal  a eucharist based on a liturgy of the Iona community, reflecting the practices of the first century church,  will be introduced.
Program:  2.30pm People gather, musicians set up. Tea/ coffee   3.00 pm – 5.00pm Singing time   5.30 pm Set out the meal   6.00 pm Communion with shared fellowship meal as above.

DEAR YOGIS


Last evening in the black-out (not too bad, only a few hours), I managed to watch a movie I hadn’t seen in a while, and do preliminary sketches for a largish commission – Elephants and angels!  I think it is going to be terrific.  I also did the first sketch of a self-portrait for the Portrait exhibition in March at The Mt. Macedon Gallery.  I was so glad to be able to use the time constructively as i believe this is going to be a “usual” occurrence.  

When i was first travelling in India black-outs were the accepted norm – but the government has learned and changed, and they rarely happen now.  India relies on solid fuels although there has been a take-up of solar.  But they have the solid fuel back up whilst we are getting rid of our power stations with nothing to replace them.  I am a fan of low emission, modern power plants (even modern nuclear) as are being built in China –  as a back up to renewables.  Disagree if you will, but enjoy black-outs, because there are going to be more.

This coming Friday the 16th February at 5.30, join me at the LITTLE GALLERY OF SMALL THINGS.  Prints, cards, paintings and toys available.   Friday’s exhibition REPRISE will be a friendly get together some paintings are still on the easel (to replace those which are sold).  It is after all a working studio, not just an exhibition space.  I have been waxing these little angels and more – even a teeny Frida Kahlo collage on a tea bag!

ANGEL HEALINGS. I thought I might have an angel/sound-bath healing meditation in the studio, before I sell the angels…..   People who have the angels tell me they have healing power, well, if one has power, imagine a whole group of them!

THE GOD COLUMN WORKS – HAVE YOU GOT ONE?  The exhibition is certainly in my God column.  I have done all I can to invite you all, now its up to The Universe.  Whatever you ask for is on the way before it gets to you.   (If “God” is too hard for you, try “The Universe”, “Spirit”!).  Having said I have got the Exhibition Opening on the God Column – Please give Him/Her a hand and come along..
