HI!
Has anyone got heaps of lemons?
We always need some at Land of yoga (please).
*
Your body is made of millions of cells,
atoms, molecules...can you feel it vibrating?
Close your eyes and feel your body vibrating,
then feel the air that wraps around you.
Now feel the room that wraps around you,
and your mind that wraps around everything.
Ommmmmm...

BUDDHISM:
When people die, they often weren't expecting it
to happen on that day, at that time.
Yet most people plan ahead as though life
can be expected to continue.
from a Buddhist perspective,
talking about what will happen next week
is a fool's prerogative.
Buddhists focus upon enjoying the NOW,
to the maximum, and leaving the future
for when and if it arrives (which it won't).
This idea is supposed to provide Peace.

ARTICLE:
TEACHING CHILDREN TRUST
(by Toby)
"Let's face it - so many people live in a world
of fear these days.
Not only are people worried about terrorism,
they are also
worried about money, security, and getting sick.
Many people are scared to say
what they think,
to be judged, and to take risks with life and love.
Society
trains us not to Trust -
and this is having a huge effect on our children."

ASTROLOGY
with Leah Russell
For the stars:
A full moon in Aries (7.03am Wed 15th),
now is the time for new beginnings to really take place internally.
Put the past behind and focus upon your self as a start,
to becoming more able to give outwardly.
Planets now give us more clarity to think
and act in more harmonious ways,
so its a great period to reflect upon our true calling and direction,
in all areas of life.

SOCIAL SITUATIONS
It can be a funny thing in social scenes
when someone drops a verbal egg in the middle of a room!
Humans can have fascinating techniques for interaction:
Some people are preoccupied with what everyone else is thinking,
and find it difficult to be naturally expressed.
Others are totally free to express themselves -
but quite disconnected from the other people
and are often unaware of the impact they have.
Finding the balance between creative interaction that is multi-connected, and one that is disconnected,
is a good challenge. Many reserved types
often retreat as a way of avoiding that challenge.
Others fit in; others change their moods
depending on stimulants (alcohol, music, sensuality).
Others are dreaming.
It's all a big pizza of delights!
What do you do?
A good exercise is to zero-in on each different person
and how they are feeling. We're allowed to misinterpret,
but often this will get us more connected.
It places one in the 'community space',
rather than only in one's own space. It's "Listening".
Try that in the Yoga room sometime:
"How are the other people feeling right now?"
Depending on the answer,
it still doesn't mean anything needs to change.

FENG SHUI
with Leah Russell
Feng Shui tip:
If you desire a peaceful state of mind, a good place to start
is with your immediate surrounds.
Look today at your personal space.
If it is not a space you choose more often
"to be in" over going out, simply to feel good...
then it may be time to create that space.

Dare to dream and be imaginative in making your environment
feel like somewhere you could spend forever in,
even if you know it may not be where youll live the rest of your life. Feeling peaceful in the now,
is the best "present" you could ever give yourself.
