It will be New Moon time this Saturday/Sunday. New Moon is a time to set goals, to go inward, to become more grounded. It is a time to cultivate ‘what we want more of’ in our lives; more love, more joy, greater abundance, greater peace, better health……

Get rid of those spare middle tyres? Let’s go!

In this Intensive 2½ hour class we will:
• Be going into the deep core muscles – abdominals & stabilisers

Tapping for Haiti Disaster

The Earthquake in Haiti has stirred up many emotions within that country and for those of us who have watched and heard reports via TV & radio. Join me Friday (15 Jan2010) or Sat (16 Jan 2010) at 6.00pm SA time to do a few rounds of tapping for healing of Haitians and yourself - some ideas below:

Set Up:
KC: "Even tho the earthquake caused so much loss & destruction in Haiti, the Earth is still a beautiful place.

"Even tho the people in Haiti are suffering physically and emotionally, I choose to believe that things happen for the best.

"Even tho there is chaos in Haiti, I accept this and choose to remain peaceful and calm."

EyeBrow: The earthquake destruction in Haiti
OuterEye: People suffering in Haiti
UnderEye: Loss and Chaos in Haiti
UnderNose: Physical pain and suffering of the people in Haiti
UnderLip: Emotional pain & suffering of the people in Haiti
CollarBone: Natural disaster in Haiti
UnderArm: Massive earthquake caused suffering in Haiti
Ribcage: Anger that so many people have to die and suffer in Haiti

By releasing my negative emotions towards the disaster, I can change which will result in global change ("Be the change you want to see" - Mahatma Ghandi) - continue tapping:

EB: I choose to release my sadness for the people of Haiti
OE: I choose to release all anger for those who have suffered & died in Haiti
UE: I choose to release all grief for those who survived the loss of family & friends in Haiti
UN: I choose to release my suffering for those in Haiti
UL: I choose to be calm and peaceful for those in Haiti
CB: I choose to believe that everything happens for the best
UA: The Earth is doing her best to correct global warming
RC: May Haiti experience healing through this planetary correction.

Last round - positive statements:

EB: The Earth is a beautiful place
OE: The Earth is correcting imbalances
UE: Everything returns to peace
UN: Everything returns to harmony
UL: People's awareness increases to uplift the Earth
CB: I love this Earth
UA: I am at peace
RC: I am peaceful and calm.

May peace, joy and love prevail on Earth....

Yoga Day

Every couple of months I host a morning of Intensive Yoga - which is a 2 1/2 hour class going deeper into the asanas and pranayama, and also a longer yoga nidra (relaxation). This is a chance to let go enough to experience postures that you may never have achieved before. Usually we have a theme for example: "Opening the Heart", etc but this next one on Saturday, 10 October is "Whole Body/Mind Experience". After the bliss of the class, there is a chance to have tea and a muffin with other participants, and continue the 'vibe' with like-minded people.

This time we (Martin & I) will follow with a workshop on Ayurveda in the afternoon - learn a bit about your body/mind type and how to achieve well-being by making simple life-style and dietry changes. Living in harmony with nature and knowing your specific body/mind type makes it so much easier.

Join us for either or both workshops by contacting us.

Yoga & EFT?

Hi Everyone,
Ghandi said: "Happiness occurs when what you think, what you say and what you do are in perfect harmony." - not so easy is it?

Basically, this means that you need to live your truth. That is what yoga is all about - living according to your truth incorporating values & morals. Contrary to what a lot of people think Yoga is not just an exercise system. It is a whole being experience resulting in a balanced life in all areas like, body, mind, emotions, family, society & spirit.

To get the emotions - fears, phobias, doubts, etc - in balance and get yourself feeling whole again try a session of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) - in an hour you can get through a mighty lot of issues and they're gone for good. Sometimes the emotions block us and result in physical stiffness, aches and pains or even chronic illnesses.

Hope to see you - book an appointment -
-Anne

EFT for Hayfever

So far tapping away the hayfever is working - with the new garden and all the flowers that will bloom in spring and summer we have to eradicate hayfever. Keeping the meridians in balance seems to be the answer. - Yippee!

Organic Veg

Transformed the garden this last week. Looking good. Mostly indigenous plants, replaced the lawn. Ground covers, colour and then the vegetable patch. Planted 140 veges and herbs - should have a wonderful crop and not too far in the future either. They love all the compost and water, and of course, sunshine which has been out for the past 2 days.

Ananda Sanga Yoga students - love it - what a difference a garden can make. Soon we will be able to feel the peaceful vibes and enjoy all the lovely colours and variety of flowers and plants.

Now to continue with the other half - which is bad need of beautifying - to match the rest! Fun, fun, fun in the sun!
