HI!
Was the last month full-on or what?!
Hopefully getting caught up in lots of action,
things to do, dramas, struggles even...
that this doesn't become an obsessive
experience of reality.
Because that would lead to poor health.
The best way to slow time down
is simply to Meditate.
By adding even 5 minutes a day
just stopping and sitting,
whether in the car, loungeroom,
or garden...and merely STOPPING
and placing oneself inside the space -
this technique grants many boons.
It always works,
even if it seems to not be working.
And the rest of the day will start to slow down
- because it's actually the experience of time
that changes. This is the Key.

Remember that Land of Yoga was always designed
to be a place for people to solve every problem
in their life - because this is what Yoga is:
Total Health and Happiness.
That is what my teacher used to say.
By taking the time to breathe, slow down,
be quiet, stretch your muscles,
open up and let go - this is access
to all answers and freedoms.

ASTROLOGY
Through this month we have an intense period in which
we look deeply at the possibilities of bringing our spiritual
more into alignment with our physical nature.
This may mean a desire to become more focused on
balancing the two worlds and expressing our spirituality
through our creative abilities in a tangible form,
while also supporting our inner worlds
with the rewards of our daily contributions to the world.

Killers" and How to Protect
Your

These

FREE YOGA DAY
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Next March 14 is Free Yoga Day again
(which has now become an International event).
In the next few weeks I'm going to start organising again,
and would dearly love people who are interested to help.
The help needed is on the Internet:
ie: people to send an email of Invitation to Yoga centres
around the world, to consider joining/participating.
This job merely requires time - one just Googles
a country and their local Yoga studios
and then sends them the simple email
which I will write.
Please let me know if you are able and/or keen.
Thanks. Click Here to Email Toby.

Hypnotherapy focuses on direct communication

This way any life problem can be tackled head-on.

or Past-Life regression.

Yoga Discussion for the Week:
APPROVAL
I wonder if most humans spend their life
trying to get approval?
I reckon I may have been.
Most teenagers are doing this
almost the whole time (!) it seems,
and society demands that they conform and achieve.
Then 20-somethings must become someone,
must create careers and develop
successful jobs and relationships.
Then parents must become very good at what they do,
as well as appropriate husbands and wives...
Many would find this challenging, but always suffer...
others might react against this, their many behaviours
reflecting resistance to the pressure...some might just give in.
On an illness front, anyone with a skin ailment
will have been struggling with this theme.
People are so often hard on themselves,
and as adults is it possible that most of everything we do
has a hidden urge to gain approval
- from our friends, workmates, boss, society..?
If this is true, then it is highly stressful.
We all deserve the right to be validated
- preferably by our own selves.
Someone else's approval is not the approval of God
nor the Universe, yet it might feel that way
if one desperately needs it.
Worse, the more hidden and insidious desire
to gain approval can drive every behaviour we have.
Is this Freedom?

FENG SHUI
HOME
Enhancing the energy of the home is more simple
than some may imagine. If you are at all feeling crowded
or confused as to how to get the most out of your surrounding,
try experimenting with a few small, intuitive adjustments
between rooms. The placement of even the tiniest of things
can make the biggest difference in how your space makes you feel.
Have fun with this idea, and begin to discover just how much
your space influences your own personal energy.

PRANAYAMA:
The Science of Breath-Control
A great simple Breathing technique
that is perfect for Insomnia or Stress
is called "Ladder Breathing".
Simply breathe slowly In and then Out
- through the Nose ONLY -
counting In for 10 and Out for 10.
The necesarry speed/pace is one that suits YOUR lungs
and it needs to be very comfortable and effortless.
As this becomes easier, slow it down more.
Notice the "Psychic Gap' which occurs as a slight pause
at the top between the In-Breath and the Out-Breath,
and the bottom between the Out-Breath and the In-Breath.
By breathing calmly and deeply,
one's whole body - and Mind - start relaxing.
Try it!
Every Thursday 6.30 - 8.00 AM
is a Breath-Only Pranayama class at Land of Yoga.
It's the best class of the Week!

Hope to see you all soon perhaps,
have a great weekend!
