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 & Creative Industries!

And leave you with this nicely written article on Patanjali's Eight Limbs Of Yoga, on a Sunday for it makes for some jolly good reading 💚🧘🏼‍♀️💚Patanjali - Eight Limbs Of Yoga

"The temple bell stops. But the sounds keeps coming- out of the flowers" Basho 17th Century Buddhist Poet

Here on a short break away from the bustle of London City. I've walked the coastal track with lungs filling just for the music. Not focused or even interested in British politics at the moment, I don't know if the city's laws around sustainability and pollution are being monitored that well. But I'm not taking my chances with it all.  Having sung recently at the Southbank Centre for my beloved new choir the Beethoven Missa Solemnis, wow, just wow. What a piece of music that is. I'd like to discuss here in the Yoga Blog today the use of the word 'Curation'. Everybody is using it, willy-nilly, as if the most simple of task should even provoke this kind of meaning : "Hold on while I gather my tea aromas to bedazzle and beguile while putting together a marketing shoot for promo". What a lot of tosh there is in the world of advertising, please don't misuse this word curation though, it squibbles my hearing senses! haha! Thankfully in the Y...

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...

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...
