Dear Yogis,

Missed you at Mt.Macedon Gallery Saturday morning and Sunday…..  It always feels like coming home as it was my little centre for 5 years… before I finally moved everything to where I am now – I get the feeling of a shift in the air once again.

Everyday I pick a tarot card.  TODAY THE CARD THAT CAME UP WAS “THE WORLD”.  It is not about doing slavishly what the card advises, but thinking about the image, and how to progress through the day in the most positive way that I can.  Being a very visual person, the card helps me.    The World is a clear indication of completion. We all want to be satisfied in many aspects of our life  and  The World card is reminding me (and you) that happiness is there at your fingertips – all you have to do is reach out and get it!

Another facet of the card  is its calmness which comes when everything fits together.  When you get the World card, it’s a great opportunity to reflect on your life and ask yourself a few key questions. What do you think would make you happy? Do you have a sense of accomplishment? What could give you a sense of accomplishment? What might you do to make your life more complete? Is there already completeness and goodness in your life that you can’t see or appreciate?

WHAT CHOOSING THIS CARD MEANT FOR ME (and maybe you) TODAY:   The World card has appeared today to indicate that we have come to the end of a particular cycle in life. This could be obvious but in some cases, these cycles can be quite subtle. In either case, we have learned what there is to learn from a pattern in your life and it is time for a new one to begin. Whether it’s psychological, emotional, spiritual, or physical, it looks like we are moving on to a new chapter. This can also suggest that there are greater forces at work in our life and it is time to allow the world to shape itself around us.  I still do the Tarot Readings.  Please let me know if you want one – zoom, studio or email.  BOOK VIA THE EMAIL. yogafirst2@bigpond.com

PHAGE THERAPY

You may not have heard the word, but if you have been coming here a LONG TIME, and have a good memory you may remember me talking about it years ago No one was ever interested.  I ceased talking about it but always think of it).  Phage is a way of producing remedies from a disease, rather like homeopathy, but in the case of Phage, a remedy is made for you from your condition or disease.  The closest we get in the West is when a person drinks their own urine.

Phage Therapy was practised in Georgia (Russia) for many years.  They had hospitals that operated entirely on this principle and it worked.  A sick person would come in and was isolated in their own room with their own nursing team.  A remedy would be designed from their condition and administered to them by spraying the air, by mouth or etc.

Using phages to treat bacterial infections (commonly termed phage therapy) dates back to the early 1900s, after their codiscovery by Frederick Twort and Felix d’Hérelle . D’Hérelle in particular used phage suspensions to treat infections such as dysentery, which at the time had no other consistently effective treatment.

Why is this important?  Well, today antibiotics are ceasing to work.  Our bugs are getting too clever.  Guess what scientists are exploring now?  You guessed it – PHAGE THERAPY!  Years ago America tried to buy the main hospital in Russia and all the “recipes”, but were refused on the basis that it was a therapy for everyone, and it was thought that America would make it into a money making enterprise. Pretty accurate assessment I think.  In early 2000’s it seems to have gone international, but it began in the 1900’s.   Google it – it is worth knowing about – there is a lot to learn.
