17.01.2022 GOOD HEALTH AND HEALING IN A TIME OF ISOLATION; with reference to our Lymphatic system and how to improve it. (Extracts from below web site) By Lynne Gillogly https://www.mygcphysio.com.au//how-can-massage-exercise-i/ The Lymphatic System may be one of the less understood systems in our body. Many of us have heard of it in reference to being VERY sick (swollen lymph glands in the neck, armpits or groin) and how we need a healthy immune system to ward off colds, infections..., diseases etc. The Lymphatic System consists of lymph nodes which are the battle fields in the body where most infections are fought. It works to maintain healthy immunity, to drain stagnant fluids, regenerate tissues and detoxify the body by filtering out foreign substances and toxins. ******The Lymphatic System DOES NOT have a pump like our blood Circulatory System does (where the heart creates a beat which helps push and pump the blood around our body). Instead, the Lymph System requires daily movement of the body (especially our muscular system), and proper breathing, in order to move lymph through the lymphatic vessels to pass it through the filters in our lymph nodes. HOW DOES EXERCISE HELP YOUR LYMPH SYSTEM? Exercise or activity (doing things you love while you are in motion) is critical to keeping your lymph system open and flowing. When your muscles are moving this also helps move and pump the lymph within its vessels. Walking, running, swimming, bike riding, yoga etc, stretching and strength training are great ways to keep the lymph flowing. Dancing with lots of up and down movement or rebounding is particularly helpful because the vertical motion of exercise opens and closes the one way valves that comprise of the lymphatic system and can increase lymph flow by up to 15-30 times. Likewise, deep breathing is very important. Proper movements of air through the lungs also helps move and pump fluid through the Lymphatic System while providing it with fresh oxygen. Becoming conscious of your breathing at times throughout the day and get out of the habit of shallow, upper chest breathing. EVEN ISOLATED AT HOME>>>> EXERCISE HELPS! *******Sedentary living is a cause of a run down and inefficient Lymphatic System.******* ####### Please SHARE or copy to friends and loved ones

16.01.2022 BBC article on the future of Exercise (post covid-19) "Mr. Stark, the University of Leeds professor, thinks its too early to tell whether coronavirus could lead to a new home workout boom. He thinks the new online classes tap into something that didnt exist in home fitness before, but believes that the lure of the gym may prove stronger in the long term. Gyms fulfil quite a different social role. They are places where exercises done by individuals can be communal and competitive, he says. When the lockdown is phased out and then ends, it is much more likely that people will flock back to gyms and sports fields to recapture the vital social, human contact which is also integral to exercise for so many. full artice: https://www.bbc.com//20200504-covid-19-update-quarantine-h

15.01.2022 slowly slowly our masks are dropping off.. we can no longer pretend...................and what remains.....pure authentic love and silence in our soul....... "YOU CAN FEEL A GREAT CHANGE COMING" (Cat Stevens)....now is the time!!!

12.01.2022 Ladies out there considering coming... At class today we did this yoga posture (adapted)... yes we did the best we could... basic stretching The alternative...SITTING DOWN too much, chatting... Well (this is what sedentary Australians do) it may look great, its most social and fun.....BUT (at what cost) We benefit greatly from stretching, strengthening, challenging ourselves, ALL TO MUSIC...and having fun and socialising... And When you get home you're so glad you did it...came out, had a go and feeling quite proud of yourself. P.s Men most welcome too

12.01.2022 Perhaps thee biggest issue for most people is ENERGY..... i.e NOT HAVING ENOUGH. Feeling tired too much, lethargic...... wanting / having to go to bed early and then waking too early and getting frustrated at that cycle.... How to change that...... well a HUGE question that I answer holistically. - clean up your diet of junk foods and addictions (alcohol and sugar), eat healthy, lose weight - straighten out your life...by doing more things for YOU that nurture you - Fun exercises that uplift and support your body functioning - spiritual / religous connection to give more MEANING in your life...something to believe in / have faith in and turn to in dark night of the soul times. - hugs and love....get and GIVE as much as you can... you be the instigator and Lastly GRATITUDE for your life.... say thank you to yourself countless times a day..... as most of the time we are affirming LACK and wanting more / something else..... blessings sisters and brothers.."Christ you know it ain't easy" (John Lennon lyric) These are extraordinary times where we are all experiencing similar challenges and fears..... we MUST collectively lift each other up * My exercise class to music is a good start...WEDNESDAY mornings in Albany...$10 well spent.... its holistic, soulful and loving

11.01.2022 This is Sara. Shes 56, has two kids, and shes never exercised a day in her life. She eats anything she wants and occasionally stays up until 3am drinking and partying. Whats her secret? Nothing, she is the woman in the background.

11.01.2022 A beautiful daily prayer at Easter adapted from Alan Cohen video series "A Course in Miracles" Daily Prayer to Re-set/Re-Align in Oneness I choose this day to re-align my being in Gods mind and to restore my original innocence; that I am at my essence.... I see myself as whole and powerful being of light; an eternal spirit. I am innocent, fresh and free. Nothing in the outside world can disturb my alignment and consciousness in God. I release everything I believed that appeared to take away my happiness and health. I claim wellness for myself; I am becoming lighter, freer and freer. I am connected to the source of all creation and I now use that power, that gift to create good, healing and well-being for all. I have a source of good deep within me, that never leaves me; It is my true essence in God. I give thanks for my life, for all the daily gifts, blessings and miracles; for food, friends, family, community and beauty everywhere. What a blessed experience is my life, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU By Gods hand I live THY WILL BE DONE Happy Easter brothers and sisters. Richard the lionheart

09.01.2022 20 minutes of exercise to music, every WEDNESDAY morning 9.00 at senior citizens centre Albany

08.01.2022 (Pic) So here we are in our own mindset....within contemporary beliefs and thought systems...trapped in our social conditioning network (the blue pill/matrix) that has been "working on us" since birth. It is no easy matter to find the truth, find a way through and to live your own truth....but that is what life asks of you....YES to dance to the beat of your own drum.. ... In class, the eclectic music and unique movements ENCOURAGE this process of : Being uniquely YOU... BLESSINGS sisters and brothers.... there are no signposts..only intuition...you are not alone in your healing journey. Your heart asks you, does your life resonate as congruent ? How does it feel in your soul? What is unworthy? On we go...

07.01.2022 Little Richard R.I.P dead at 87 years... His message in my chosen song...is a post covid-19 wish for all and a thankfulness for life.... He really ROCKED US... https://youtu.be/5LvdRRJiyo4

06.01.2022 Jacqui Christian kindly sent me this article (paraphrased blow) The Importance of Dancing Like an Idiot from the Book of Life (Chapter 6) But dancing (movement to music) is an activity that many of us, arguably those of us who might most need to do it, are powerfully inclined to resist and deep down to fear.... Dancing has been widely and publically understood as a form of bodily exercise with something very important to contribute to our mental state. Dancing has had nothing to do with dancing well, being young or revealing ones stylishness. Dancing provides us with a primordial occasion on which this basic idiocy can be publicly displayed and communally celebrated. On a dance floor filled with comparable idiots, we can at last delight in our joint foolishness; we can throw off our customary shyness and reserve and fully embrace our dazzling strangeness and derangement. In a group situation, we feel a part of something far more important than ourselves, a supportive community in which our individual errors and doubts will cease to weigh so heavily and punishingly upon us. Through a dance, we glimpse a huge project: how we might more regularly experience ourselves as vulnerable in front of other people in order to become better friends to ourselves and more generous and compassionate companions to others. We should reclaim the ecstatic dance and uninhibited boogie woogie for their deepest universal purposes: to reconnect, reassure and reunite us. PM me to read entire document *****Exercise Holistically to Great Music class****, every Wednesday morning 9:15 in Albany is based on the principles above. The art of moving to music, warts and limitations and all! TRY IT.

06.01.2022 Great quotes/pics... Ultimately its how we nourish and develop our soul.... consumerism and security are empty in comparison. Honour your own seeing-knowing.

06.01.2022 WHAT HAVE I LEARNT (as leader) FROM this LOCKDOWN-TIME/CLOSURE OF MY Exercise Class 1. My body has declined / muscle tone, vitality, strength..noticeable stiffness 2. My motivation to exercise at home has been difficult and only really getting better after 4-6 weeks 3. I am a social being and love to mix with people and miss YOUR companygroup work motivates 4. Having fun together is sooo important... 5. Just simply MOVING THE BODY TO MUSIC , USING EVERY MUSCLE AND BEING FREE TO MOVE UNIQUELY is the main point.what we NEED to do as often as. 6. For without the above there is a decline in physical and mental health (anxiety/FEAR arising...body suffers) 7. Our body's Immune strength is worth strenthening/cultivating...its our GREATEST ASSET....insufficient immune function = great susceptibilty to disease.... *the body's lyphatic system needs exercise to circulate the body's lymph defences. Fun and joyfulness is a life line/panacea! I want regular members to pause to re-assess why they exercise AND HOW WE ALL NEED TO JUST DO IT/exercise!!! (however it works for you) And to all people in Albany (people in their 40's/50's etc that are declining physically/mentally, or unwell/injured to say hey I need to do something to keep this body functioning properly"analogy: a car kept in the garage is not good for itit needs a run/to get recharged/needs to get warmed up/oxygenated for its own potential longevity Soooo so many people do very very little EXERCISE, (Covid-19 made it worse) Soooooo I want this message above all to get out to all people AN IVITATIONcome and join us. Start slow, take your timestart from where you are. ** IT'S simply about BODY MOVEMENT TO MUSIC PLEASE SHARE THIS POST AND SEND LINK TO PEOPLE WHO NEED SO MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT TO TAKE A RISK AND COME

Swallows are swooping.... An infant is wiggling it's toes. Stop perpetuating dissonance with your being. Stop generating dissatisfaction and then revolting against the patterning of your own design. Life is too short to take your cues for your temperament and energetic baseline from the narrative of others. In the media, "good news" has pretty much becone an oxymoron. You.....are One..... With the Universe. We're pretending to have amnesia, in a world that only references differences. So... what's with the long face..... God?" Ram Spencer

We must stay conscious....notice the traps that pull you under the swamplands.... Keep vigilant sisters and brothers ... Blessing as we change and realign See more

02.01.2022 It appears that we all have to challenge OUTER authority in our own way...... stating there must be a better way and "we're not going to take it".... the old patriachal sytems and old school tie/establishment days are dead.... we are asked to tell the GREAT KING he is wearing no clothes Taking back our personal power and accessing our INNER authority
