Our journey into the richness of the Bhagavad Gita continues. An exploration of spiritual understanding and context, Chapter 9, Part 2 continues to assist to make sense of life here on earth. As spiritual beings having a human existence, it can at times feel as if we bridge two worlds. Deepening our understanding of our truth and the point of life, helps us with context as we navigate this path of evolution.

(P.S. Some weeks we strike upon some interesting conversation and our episodes go beyond the allocated 40 mins. If you're pressed for time, you could consider listening to this one in two stages).

Enjoy xx

Find Your Ground

Perhaps you know those dreams that come to help you wake up, just before you need to wake up?
This morning I was dreaming I was flying back into earth at a rapid speed. I was seeing many of my favourite things… hills in the distance, mist on the mountains, paddocks of grass with animals, blossom trees, and in particular quince blossoms.

But as I was flying, I was wavering… up and down… losing momentum… in danger of clipping the tops of trees and tall fences I came too close to. A steadying voice around me began saying “find your ground, find your ground”.

Even though I was flying (& clearly there was not yet ground beneath me) I understood the instruction. Find MY ground… find MY place of centre and steadiness. And as I was flying, I ‘found’ my feet, I ‘found’ my steadiness, I found my internal balance… and I flew… and landed… very steadily, right next to the quince blossom tree (which is my favourite).

Right then the 5:30am alarm went off. It’s an early start today, so I got out of bed to shower, and then practiced some yoga. As you can guess, “find my feet; find the ground” was my mantra for today, firmly pressing them into the floor at every opportunity.

It possibly sounds such a small detail, yet for those who practice yoga regularly, you’ll know what I mean. There’s something quite profound in the small details. As we press out feet into the floor we find our ground; find our steadiness; find our point of centre.

I’m not sure if today I need more ‘ground’ and ‘centre’ than usual… who knows… the day will reveal. But it’s a useful reminder that we have more control over our daily experience than we often realise. We are not destined to be here to be blown around by the various winds of the day (often those caused by others). We’re here to find our stance, to be steady and strong, and live with capacity… great capacity to deal with what the day puts before us!

So, if you read this in time, perhaps a few standing stretches where you find your feet. Press them firmly down into the floor so that you ‘rise up’ out of them, ready to face what the day puts before you!

With love, and firm-feet blessings,

It’s 8am and I’m on the tram travelling to work.
I’ve practiced yoga for an hour this morning, enjoyed breakfast with the family, & despite a few aches & recovering injuries, I feel like a million dollars!! (It’s a good feeling to have!)

A few days ago I decided to clean up my diet (things have a habit of creeping, and need to be wound back from time to time).

It’s only been a few days cutting out inflammatory foods (namely wheat, dairy & sugar), but I’m shocked at how fabulous I feel so quickly. Literally my body moves more easily just from making this change!! I am constantly reminded of how we can impact our own health just by addressing inflammatory issues.

I’m embracing my grey hair, and adjusting to being in the corporate world again, and looking forward to using yoga & meditation… & food as medicine… to keep myself balanced & well.

Sending love… and wishing you well,
Jacqui x

I have to say... it has been a lovely project this year with my Dad... collaborating together to present the introduction to the Bhagavad Gita - one of/the greatest spiritual texts available for humanity.

Many of you have sent me messages sharing not only how you are enjoying the podcast series, but how you're enjoying watching my dad and I collaborate together. Some of you have even shared it's inspired you to connect with your parent/s in some deeper way and explore sharing similar interests while there's time and opportunity.

Whilst family catchups to mum and dads generally always include some sort of spiritual discussion (my mum is an artist, poet and mindfulness/philosophy teacher also), I still generally relate to them as parents, and I'm still the child.

There has been (and still is!) something quite lovely about joining with dad to present this work, and to come together as 2 x individuals, sharing an enthusiasm for spiritual teachings. It's a new way of relating for us... new territory being explored... and I can tell we're both growing and learning in the process. Delightful!

I suspect for those of you watching the series, this will be quite evident. I'm sure we started off a little 'stiff', finding our way together (& in the new technological format for my dad). And yet, each week/episode, we get more relaxed and settle more deeply into the conversations and explorations of this text.

It is our joy to share... and with that being said, here is the next episode of our series. Enjoy x

Online term 3 Yoga is underway! (a recorded class to your inbox each week for the next 10-weeks).

As I shared with my students this morning, Yoga is so much more than movement and postures – it’s about the internal changed effect the yoga can create. Practicing yoga is practicing internal self-transformation… and this is far more powerful than a flexible, open body, although this too will be worked upon!

It's useful to remember that life is often pulling us this way and that… and often in an ‘outwards’ direction. Yoga on the other hand has a unifying effect. It’s about gathering all of the scattered, dispersed, possibly fragmented parts of ourselves… and bringing them back together… centering, aligning, steadying, calming, making whole.

So although we will move, stretch and open, my deep desire for each of us is that we will unify, feel whole and understand ourselves more deeply, making this journey of life all the more enjoyable and clear.

It's not too late to join, so if you're interested in gentle, unifying yoga in the comfort of your own home, let me know.

With love,
Jacqui x
