Home Again!

I've just had a few days away on a writing course - not blog writing but writing your life story.  I don't intend to publish mine!  But it was good to delve into the past and look dispassionately at what certain life experiences have done for me.  My mother died - cancer again - when she was only 53;  now, many, many years later, I think I am coming to terms with that.  For years I have thought I should have been able to do something more to help her.  I was only just in my twenties when she became ill;  after four years a trial treatment went wrong and she became blind.  That was too much for her to bear and she died a year later.

Now I think I did what my younger self was able to do, and I was at least holding her hand when she died - the only one with her.  Since then, my Angels have given me opportunities to learn so many ways in which I can help people through Yoga and natural therapies.  They do not cure but they can make life more bearable in many ways.  If you would like to know more, read my PROFILE and my WELCOME page.  Then if you feel I may be able to help you, contact me.  See CONTACT.

Wishing you well.    Brenda.

TODAY'S VISIT to the WOODLANDS CENTRE!

Om Shanti to my friends there - nurses and fellow patients!  For those of you who don't know what I am on about:  the Woodlands Centre is the place where Hinchingbrooke Hospital patients go for treatment for Cancer.  I am a regular - once a month patient.  Thanks to their kindness and skill there - especially Sara today - I am able still to offer my own help and expertise in Yoga to those of you who could do with a helping hand.  In Yoga we regard life as a path - a journey - and we have to get on the right path and not get lost on the way.  I think we all need a helping hand from time to time, and if you let me, I can help you to find your way!

In a purely practical sense, this means learning to breathe properly, and through that, to relax fully whenever you need it.  Then, if those limbs have stiffened - through tension or misuse - to learn to stretch and loosen the whole body.  This is not just for cancer patients - but those sufferering from arthritis or simply anno domini - or the many long-term illnesses that have to be controlled and then lived with.  And we can all make it a good life!  I do!!!

Back again!

Not me, but my computer!  I hope it is revitalised and ready to receive all your comments!

Like the nursery rhyme, "when they are good, they are very very good, and when they are bad they are horrid!"

But now we are friends again, me and my computer, we look forward to hearing from you if you have any comments on my posts or need any Yoga help.
