Howdy, hope you're well!
Here's a good moment to practise
Stillness and Self-Awareness:
Sit up straight, relax your arms and hands...
legs and feet...your neck...your face...
then bring your mind to the subtle flow of breath
at the top of your nostrils, up near your eyes,
where the breath goes up and over.
Eyes closed softly, pause for 15 seconds
having an awareness of sounds around you.
Wait for sounds to come.
Chuck in a big sigh, and you're ready to rock!

HEALTH REPORT
from Doctor Qu'ac
TRYING HARD IN YOGA
Most people try way too hard in Yoga (and perhaps life!).
The most advanced Yogis truly understand effortlessness.
Personally, I know that I still need to back off
when I'm doing poses or stretching, or breath-work.
Only when I really get this, will my body really open up.
An 80% approach will always be the healthiest
- this applies certainly for stretching,
and yet most people believe in the creed
of 100% living! How do these two fit?
I don't know! Maybe it has something to do with
Being 100% without Trying!
Any Questions for Doctor Qu'ac?

ARTICLE:
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ADDICT
(An Imaginary Story by Toby Wallace)
First thing when I wake is to do 20
sit-ups, or maybe some Yoga.
Then I jump into the shower and soak up some
chlorine,
clean my teeth with fluoride, then rinse my mouth with antiseptic.
Now I feel ready for the day.
My under-arm spray helps keep
things under control,
and my skin-cream contains glycerine. I put my clothes on
systematically…everything is done in the same order -
the important thing for
an addict is routine.
I'll check myself in the mirror at least 5 times.

*Discussion of the Month:
COLLOIDAL SILVER
I was at a great shop in High St. Northcote
- High on Health - and Anna had some big bottles
of Colloidal Silver. "What's that?", I said!
"How it Works: The presence of colloidal silver near a virus,
fungus, bacterium or any other single-celled pathogen
disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme (its chemical lung, so to say).
Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies,
and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic,
and elimination systems."
So I'm taking a shot of this liquid silver every morning,
just to see what happens.
I'm interested to see what another level of health might be.
I'll let you know what happens, the bottle should last 2 months.
(It cost $40).

THERAPIES:
WHAT IS E.F.T? (By Helen O'Connor)
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a psychological form
of acupuncture except that we don't use needles.
Instead, we tap with the fingertips to stimulate
certain meridian energy points while the client is "tuned in" to an issue,
usually releasing the emotional "pull" of the problem.
EFT works on fears, phobias, addictions, grief, anger, guilt etc.
For instance, if we have a fear of spiders, we can do the tapping
sequence and the fear is eliminated, usually in one short session!
Anyone can easily learn EFT
or experience an hour’s session with Helen O’Connor
at The Reiki Cottage, Preston. 9484 7276

JOURNAL
Kerry Verdon is trying the White Light Essence Programme
and will write about her discoveries. Edition 1:
"On Monday 16th February I started using the White Essences
Toby has mentioned in passing.
So far my experience has been brilliant.
From day one I was jumping around with pure happiness,
playfulness and energy. So much energy I think people had trouble
keeping up with my talking and definitely had trouble watching my
playfulness. I am 49 years young but really have felt so very much
younger.

playfulness and energy. So much energy I think people had trouble
keeping up with my talking and definitely had trouble watching my
playfulness. I am 49 years young but really have felt so very much
younger.
The second week I noticed feeling so much more tired
but still able to go ahead with all the daily tasks.
It is as if I am experiencing things on one level and yet
going along with life so much stronger, almost like a contradiction,
ie: feeling tired and yet having sooo much energy and
at the same time the tiredness hasn't slowed me down."

PermaBlitz and Eat the Suburbs
RIP
Three memorable people in my life died in the last month,and I think it's worth mentioning their presence in the world:
My amazing granny Patricia Hannaford Wallace,
James Fergus, and Harry Zachariah.
They all affected so many people in their lifetimes.
They played their part, now it's up to us.
Thanks everyone, all the best, Toby x
