The Cloud of Unknowing!

I'm borrowing these words from an unknown medieval mystic.  They seem so apt for the way I am trying to contact you.  For God, I read here any spiritual force ... whatever you believe in.

"..... he may, perhaps, send out a shaft of spiritual light, which pierces this cloud of unknowing between you, and shows you some of his secrets......far more than I can possibly say now.......But of the work that belongs to a man who is urged and helped by grace, I will gladly tell, for that is less risky!"

I am trying to contact you in this modern way to offer my help in piercing the cloud of unknowing between us and show you some of the ways in which Yoga may help you.  What may sound complicated and too difficult - and maybe overly spiritual for you - is in fact very simple.  A friend offering what help she can to friends!  Do get in touch with me!

Goodnight, sweet ladies! ... and gents, too!!!

I've been reading poetry!  Another interest of mine, but second to Yoga.  So I'll let you into a secret : the ending of Spike Milligan's poem, Summer Dawn. It goes on like this:  "If only, I didn't have 'flu!"
Personally, I feel OK.  This afternoon I did about 40 minutes of gentle yoga.  Its amazing, once you really get into regular practice, how sustaining it is.  Just lie on the floor, and breathe steadily in and out, always through the nose.  As you breathe in, feel the tummy gently rise, and as you breathe out, let the tummy go back.  Do it before you go to sleep at night;  it helps you to relax and let go of your worries.

So goodnight, with restful sleep, to you all!

What a day!

I like my new Blog site!  Do you?  As well as working hard to achieve things, like this site, other things happen by chance.  Ann, a patient at the hospital like me, said she would love me to come and give her one-to-one sessions of Yoga in her home.  I shall be in touch with you, Ann, if you happen to read this.  Cancer patients helping each other!

Getting with it!

I'm a newcomer to the blogging world!  But here goes.  I want to get to you out there - particularly those of you who would like to find a way to combat long-term illness and get back in the swim.  I may be able to help you.  Anyway, no harm done if you give it a try.    Come with me on this little journey.
