Howdy,
welcome to Spring and new plant growth in Australia,
and welcome to the cold in Europe teehee!
With the windy Melbourne days
I'm more and more conscious of rubbish everywhere
and I do urge you all to make it a point
of picking up rubbish off the streets
every day! It's a win-win situation!

IN SPACE
(9 minutes)
NUTRITION
with Hayley Moulds
Grains are an important part of
our diet. Not only do they provide us with carbohydrates which are
essential for energy, but many grains have additional health benefits
that when consumed may assist our overall health. There are more and
more products sold in the supermarket made from grains besides wheat,
such as rye. Rye has long been considered the grain for women’s health
but it also deserves attention from men due to its heart health
benefits. Besides rye being good source of dietary fibre, it also
helps the body to reduce LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and improve
digestive health, preventing colon cancers in both men and women. Rye
has long been linked to helping women in menopause as the Rye grains
contain plant chemicals that mimic the hormone estrogen and may reduce
the effects of menopause. Rye products are often considered to be heavy
or have full flavour in comparison to wheat based products. The
heavy-ness of rye bread also helps to satisfy hunger, and leaves you
feeling full for longer helping those wishing to lose weight.

STOPPING
A fast life, especially one lived in a city,
often juggling work, kids, partners, plus hobbies...
well it's quite possible to live a long time flat-out
without stopping for pauses
and then retiring at 65 and falling apart physically!
Some people have breakdowns much earlier,
but relationships also suffer under the strain of stress
and the pressure of western life.
The most effective tool of all,
to arrest the build up of pressure and stress,
is to STOP. And Meditate, just for 5 minutes.
Stillness meditation provides such happiness, boons,
calm, health, and also ideas.
All one has to do is sit still, do nothing,
for 5 minutes. It's not that hard.
Focus on one's breathing, slow everything down,
and then take the time to look at what's in front of you.
Perfect for Anxiety, your mind may still race
but it does that all day anyway.
Start to learn how to slow it down.
Everyone benefits if you take this time.

ASTROLOGY
On Wednesday 23rd September at 7.20am
the Equinox occurs and Librans become flavour of the month.
Librans - with the charm and beauty of all that is in balance
(and hopeless decision-makers for sure!)
- usually socially-attractive personalities
and creative minds.
A good way for a Libran to find certainty and peace
is to take 5 minutes a day and sit outside
and meditate - be still, focus on your breath.
(Funnily enough, this works for all Starsigns!)
We begin Daylight Savings on Oct 4th
(for those in Victoria at least)
and the cows get up one hour earlier in Qld.
(Parts taken from the
2009 Astrological Calendar + Moon Planting Guide,
Alle Davidson-Farnworth and Dorothy Maniero)

HEALTH REPORT
from Doctor Qu'ac
HAY FEVER!
It's that great time of the year again when some people
run for cover, avoid flowers, and mourn the new breezes.
Warning: the use of Anti-hystamines has severe
and negative repercussions for one's health
- not just the immune system and hormonal system
(which get totally stun-gunned)
but also the psycho-emotional/mental fallout.
To numb the area of the nasal passage is highly foolish
and any long-term sinus/breath-practice will show you that.
Yogis have always looked at the sinus area
as a crucial element of mental health balance.
Any breakdown or drugs will seriously destabilise
one's moods, awareness, and sense of clarity.
A perfect and world-wide accepted therapy
for all sinus problems is Jala Neti (the Neti pot).
Warm salt water flown through the nose each morning
provides countless health benefits
and obviously helps clear dust and pollen.
Toby has them at Land of Yoga for $30
(these should last 30yrs or more!).
Give it a try.

Thanks everyone, keep breathing well for Good Health!
All the best, Toby xx
