August in Twickers

Hi Yogis,

Birthdays, weddings, clearings and walking in the rain and sunshine. We are back and awaiting the Red Moon on thursday 6th August, our full moon lunar eclipse before the big influx of Light for those who are aware on the 15th to 20th August.

Stay present and quiet. All is well .

Retreat poems and pictures will appear in due course. We are chilling before the new term begins in September with a workshop on the Wednesday 16th. I am writing the latest newsletter and this will be going out to all club members next week with the calender of events to give you time to book before it goes out to the general public.

Silent Retreat 2009

One week to go before we leave for beautiful Dartmoor and our seventh year at Brimpts Barn.

Take a look at the past retreat pictures and testimonials and tune in with our intent to create a peaceful energy in ourselves first, the group, the larger yoga circle and then out into the

guruverse. Please join us in this critical time in our world and be a peaceful being.

Allow creativity to flow out in paintings, poems and of course our beloved music.

Nada yoga - the yoga of sound - is the quickest way to self realisatioin this Kali age of disharmony and confusion.

" Silent mind has great creativity but this is not all. Silent mind is Peaceful , Blissful and Healthy.

It radiates these qualities out through the person to the surroundings. People who know how to cultivate a quiet mind not only are in touch with their inner creativity, they also radiate a youthfulness and optimism that effects everyone nearby. They have Good Vibrations!"

Chant and sing and dance............

Love and Light

Ekadasi Day 20th May Wednesday

Hi Yogis,

I know many of us are feeling unsettled with the heavy energy changes about. Today is a good day to fast or at least eat raw foods and drink plenty of water and juices. Walk in nature and breathe with awareness of the prana coming in to refresh and enliven the body, mind and spirit.

Release the old with the exhale and truly let go.

Stay in the Guha (inner cave) where all is still and quiet. Make this your centre that you go out into the world from and where you return to recognise the Self that does not change; that does not fear; that just 'IS' Give more to others to discover how much you already have.

Even after all this time the sun never says to the Earth

"You owe me"

Look what happens with a love like that

It lights up the whole World

Om shanti
