An email from Victoria

“Dearest Ruth,

Thank you very much for your email. I have been thinking of you and planned to write to say how much I enjoyed reading your August newsletter as your words about letting go, thoughts not being real and deserving a second thought, breathing well and absorbing the blue sky resonated deeply with me. And then out of the blue I receive your email, as if by magic…

I have been with my family in Coral Bay in Cyprus since early July and tried to do just as you said: letting go, absorbing the blue sky, sea and air, enjoying tranquility. I swim every morning and do a bit of yoga on a slippery rock at the end of the bay, with my teenage daughter who has been joining me lately. This is the best part of the day for me and has transformed my mind and body. I hope this will be the turning point for my thyroid condition.

Another fascinating coincidence which happened here is that going through old books in the family house I’ve discovered a 1968 edition of Iyengar’s Light on Yoga which belonged to my husband’s late mother. We come to Cyprus every summer but I’ve never noticed this book before… but now it “jumped” at me.

I read these “coincidences” as a sign that I am on the right path.

I am thrilled to learn that you were impressed by my response to the teaching and wish to mention me in the newsletter. It is the teaching that is so profound and full of meaning and makes total sense to me and has been a revelation. It is a gift which came at the right time in my life, the one I have been waiting for and am grateful to receive trying to absorb every drop of it. Thank you very much for that.

I am really looking forward to Hawkwood experience. I would love to come on the 14th (Long Wednesday).

With lots of love and truly blue sky,

Victoria xx”
