Hi,
hasn't the winter weather been beautiful!
So many clear sunny days.
If you're getting poor circulation to your toes and fingers
in the cold, try loosening the joints in each limb;
ie: shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers;
and hips, knees, ankles, toes.
A couple minutes getting the blood-flow moving
and clearing the tightness of muscles
- works a treat.
Do it regularly and your body learns it.

TRY THIS!
Going for a short walk every night AFTER
you've eaten dinner. It's so good for digestion,
as opposed to sitting on the couch.
Benefits:
a) will definitely help remove pot-belly;
b) Great to get outside of small little loungeroom world
and keep perspective on the suburb and community;
c) Fresh air as opposed to indoor-heating,
provides energy and oxygen;
d) great social experience with housemates;
e)live the 'Mediterranean' lifestyle in Melbourne!
PS: Try not to get mugged.

NUTRITION
with Hayley Moulds
We all know that nutritional experts have been telling us
to ensure that we consume enough dairy foods everyday
for strong healthy bones and teeth,
and for most Australian's this is easily achieved.
Our bones are meant to stay strong enough to last our lifetime,
but what we eat effects the role of calicum in the body.

Our bones are meant to stay strong enough to last our lifetime,
but what we eat effects the role of calicum in the body.
A diet high in salt is considered to be more than 2000mg
or 1 teaspoon daily, this is getting harder
to achieve with more salt being added to processed foods.
But a diet high in salt over a period of 10 years may
reduce your bone density by 15%,
as salt hinders calicum absorption in the body.
Our bone density continues to build and peaks usually around our early 30s.
As we age our bones naturally become thinner
as the body uses the calicum in our bones it has stored.
A diet high in salt reduces our stores of calicum
which will ultimately impact the density of our bones as we grow old.

Amazing Kids StoryBook
I've just written a Kids storybook:
Yoga Bear's "Land of Dreams"
Here's one of the stories:
(Cooking)
8 minutes
There’s Jenny Jamtins with a bright yellow ribbon
in her hair.
There’s Toby TennisShorts and his big muscles.
And there’s Harry
Hoe-down in his white singlet and cap.
Yoga Bear has dropped an egg onto his
foot, and is licking it all up.
And Belinda Bumface is not impressed.
She was
the one who brought the egg all the way from the milkbar,
carrying it on a
fork. It’s Tuesday at 2. It’s Cooking Day..."

THEORY
Here's a recent theory I've come up with,
in relation to Life, and one's parents:
For those with a clear career, this will be more likely:
that the career you are doing merely reflects
you trying to CONTROL that which
you disrespected about your parents.
I did start out with what you couldn't stand about your parents,
but disrespect is perhaps a more reasonable case.
Have a look, it may surprise you.
I know I'm doing it!
Full-time mums or dads can be considered
to be doing their career in this context too!

ASTROLOGY
Entering LEO on Thurs 23rd July, 2.37am.
Leo: Strong-willed and Self-assured, natural leaders
and organisers, 'the Lion' depicts this commanding presence.
* A special condition prevails when the moon
is near the end of a star sign and forms no key angles
with the planets. The result is a period when our concentration
is affected, our attention not 'well grounded'.
This is okay for routine tasks, for relaxing or using one's imagination,
but it is not a good time for making decisions that will be permanent.
The mind might overlook certain factors that could be regretted later.
So when it comes to investments, signing contracts,
making major purchases, applying for a job, weddings...
anything you want to go well - wait until after the void moon.

2009 Astrological Calendar + Moon Planting Guide,

New addition to Land of Yoga
Having realised that Buttercup
was bored out of her brain,
yesterday I got her a friend to play with.
You can expect Shiva (nickname Muscles)
to be bounding around in class.

(Intimacy Meditation)
(Mates already)

Monthly Kirtan -
This Sunday at Prana House!
Kirtan is the yogic practice of singing mantras to music.
This practice provides an opportunity to let go of the constant
mental chatter and instead rest in the space of the heart.
It is also a chance to give expression to any pent up emotions
through your own voice.
No singing experience is neccessary, all voices welcome!
Kirtan is now on the last SUNDAY of each month from 6.30-8.30pm.
The new venue is Prana House, 1/885 High Street in Thornbury
(on the 86 tram line). $5 donation to cover costs.
For more info contact Chakra on 0402 432 467.
"Chanting opens the eyes of the heart."

Thanks everyone, hope you're having Fun.
All the best, Toby xx
