15 years ago today, I started my journey of sobriety.

It is a good time to remind myself of a few things that became clear over the last 15 years.

*** Prana Love Yoga - Weekly Update - 08 Mar 2026 ***

Hello all

How has the week been? Have you had any glimmers .. of hope .. of joy ... of insight ... of aha?

Over the years I can recall these unexplainable moments .. flickers of light .. fleeting encounters ..that have come at a time most needed.

These have been in many forms .. a delightful message pops up from someone I haven't heard from in a while .. a flashback memory that not only brings a moment of joy, but also provides an answer to a current dilemma .. an unexpected deposit of money when things are financially tough .. a butterfly sits on your hand when you are deep in thought.

But the one form that I am most affected by is the appearance of a person .. mostly someone I don't know or don't engage with often .. somehow they know exactly what words I need to hear .. or even with no words, but just their presence answers the questions .. untangles the knots of constraints.

I have had this happen many times, but I feel that it has happened more since I have been more open .. more present. However I suspect that it may be that it happened before just as much, but my lack of awareness blocked me from sensing these encounters.

There are some common characteristics to these encounters;
- Those who suddenly appear have an energy of gentle breeze on a warm day .. quiet but soothing
- They usually speak slowly and quietly
- They don't offer too many words .. if at all
- The encounters are very brief .. perhaps a minute or two .. but their presence remains for hours .. even days after.

It is difficult to explain how they affect me, other than to say that whatever I was struggling most with at the time, doesn't feel like a struggle anymore .. either because a solution came into my mind with the breeze of their presence .. or simply their energy quietened the storm in my mind.

I suppose we need to call them Angels and I had an encounter with one this week.

**** Initial feedback about the online class survey ****

Thank you to all those who have responded to my on-line classes survey. It seems that there is some interest in the on-line classes. However, I feel like I need a little more feedback before I can interpret the responses sufficiently enough to decide on introducing a class or not.

Those who have not completed the google form but may want to join on-line classes, please can I ask you to complete the form in this link:

Just to say .. it is going to be warm on Tuesday .. okay actually hot. So please bring your swimming costumes.

It will also be my 800th consecutive swim on Tuesday and I would love it if I had some of you joining me in the water .. even if it is just for a minute or two.

And talking about angels .. on Tuesday it will be my love's birthday and Olivia will be joining us at the beach yoga. Which is a special treat for me.

Breath Love Joy

I feel so fortunate that in my mid-forties I realised that there must be more to life. I was living on auto-pilot and my life had become predictable without any meaningful sense of purpose. I was not unhappy but rather I lacked inspiration.

When I realised this I started a journey of self-observation. This entailed trying to observe myself from a distance. I did this for a few months but it was quite difficult as I was not able to maintain this observation for more than a few minutes. But I knew that it was a worthwhile process as I was already learning things about myself that I did not know.

I little while into this process I came across yoga and subsequently meditation. There was definitely synchronicity in this discovery as these practices were the vehicle that I needed to deepen this self-observation journey.

I used the formula; thoughts trigger emotion and emotion trigger behaviour, to reflect on what parts of me were operating on autopilot and what parts of me were truly me. My observation confirmed the theory that many of our automatic thoughts (which may trigger destructive and unwanted behaviour), are irrational. These irrational thoughts have developed over our entire lifetimes and cannot be easily changed. However the observation of them is a critical start to any transformation required. We will possibly identify personal biases, limiting beliefs, traits and characteristics that we did not know about, triggers such as certain scenarios or people that cause unwanted emotion.
