Shuck The Critique

-


Yoga today is a quick 15minute cycle. Starting with legs up the wall in Viparita Karani followed by some standing asana Prasarita Padottanasana, Utthita Trikonasana and a long supported four minute Uttanasana. Stack the bricks one on top on the other and balance a soft cushion on top, then rest the top of the head on the soft surface. Mm...nice and relaxing and it's a good routine for the soul. You feel ready to face the world today.

Reading the latest releases in Children's books in The Guardian, I've gained some insight into their world. Teenage girls are taught to fear either food or fitness in this world. With the pressures for success today and the overwhelming exposure to bad news it's important to stay connected and to talk through the issues.

Keep talking, keep active and get involved, immersed in fitness, exercise, food, nutrition, cooking, sharing that experience together, as mothers and daughters it can have a very lasting and positive outcome. Passing on the knowledge is key. Read challenging articles with glee, knowing it's one perspective and you are aloud to disagree. Staying objective in a world that is cram packed full of opinions is really difficult.

Communication is truth; communication is happiness. To share is our duty to go down boldly and bring to light those hidden thoughts which are most diseased; to conceal nothing; to pretend nothing; if we are ignorant to say so; if we love our friends to let them know it." Virginia Woolf

As the pics. come in thick and fast on my social medias today. From friends, from family over in Australia and New Zealand I think about this Yoga Blog and how on earth it can reflect such mayhem. It can't sorry, there are thankfully limits to any vocation, any hobby, any sports. So...or SOS... as we say in Kiwiland (pun intended, can't get the image out of my head, of all that wildlife decimated) I've posted a captured creature on my windowpain for you, instead. This little Bee is warming itself from the rainy weather Australia desperately needs right now. Try Bhramari Pranayama as part of your relaxation segment in your yoga classes this week. It's such a nice, gentle buzzy feeling. It's most obvious effects are that it's excellent for bringing up the mood, warming the vocal chords, making your friends laugh and clearing the senses. It's claimed also to : Dissipate anger, Lower Blood Pressure, Bolster the health of the throat, Strengthen and impro

What Does This Sunday Mean To You?

Today's Blog I was going to give you a comparison between Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga and a new book I was given by my friend ; The Four Agreements - A Toltec Wisdom Book. But then I'd have to write a whole essay and well, Blogs aren't supposed to read like that. I'm often amazed at other people's ability to absorb and take in these moral codes of behaviour - I wish I had that talent. Possibly the fact that performing and singing means one is likely plucking from these depths to recreate some composer or artists masterpiece... I don't know. I'll leave it with Zel, I mean Zen... for now 😂Zel's a genius Luther who fixes guitars. Thanks to everyone around the world yesterday who protested Climate Change - it's awful to think that young people today think their futures are being taken away from them. We must collectively fight and make a change to this situation. Shout out to friends at  Julie's Bicycle  helping to green the Arts &

A tell-tale sign the world needs a soothing hug right now is because of these multiple micro-aggressions. For Ukraine and Russia that translates as war, not exactly micro. For the rest of the globe a multitude of pointless distracting 'fuzz'. Excuse the expression...hm, I'll try another: fluff, dust bunnies, wind, hot air, bla-bla-bla, idle talk.  Sometimes you must put the hate away, get away from it and that sometimes means migration. Having to migrate because of 'dust bunnies'?!! Look it up it's a term, to describe what I'm not doing a great job of describing: that hate causes wars, full stop.  Qui n'avance pas, recule.  What are the cre***ns doing over in Welly, in NZ at the moment, too? I went to my Diversity & Inclusion board meeting last night. What a sheer joyous rejuvenating thing to do: to listen, to share ideas on the things that can be discussed. Thank you Louis Theroux for publishing documentaries to reveal parallel cultures outdated, ou
