Self
Development Introduction "Live and work but do not forget to play, to have fun in life and really enjoy it." Eileen Caddy Life is a rich cycle. As we mature and as we grow, we find ourselves looking for answers to some of the more oblique questions. Our friends may invite us to participate in new events. Out of our comfort zone, uneasiness can creep in. Nothing is ever wasted. Repeatedly I have heard these words spoken. Be discerning about what you believe. “Do not blindly believe me. Do not disbelieve me either.” These are the very wise words of one of my most influential teachers. It is fun to learn. Enjoy the experience of trying something new. It is a way of freshening up. Often we become comfortable, under stimulated and a little bored. If you have lost some of your spark and enthusiasm, you might need to find a new area of interest. This has the added bonus of bringing new and like-minded people into your life. Read the options and see if something grabs you. If it does, it may well be your higher self, guiding you along the road. Remember that life is a journey. Enjoy the trip and let go of paradigms. Eligibility These courses are fun. They have no prerequisites. Any one is welcome. Each course has a specific set of aims. Each time you will experience something new. At completion, you will have a skill/ skills, which you can easily incorporate into your life, enhancing your state of being. At present I am able to provide the teaching, written material and supervision. My minimum class size is ten participants. If you belong to a club, interest group or support group why not consider this option. It is fun, informative and beneficial for your wellbeing. Seminars are of varying
lengths, two, four and six hours duration. In 2008 seminars will be
conducted during school terms. Details will be posted on this page. Tea
and coffee are available. Catering is not available. Please make your
own arrangements for lunch. "Listen to the exhortation of the dawn! Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence. The bliss of growth, the glory of action, the splendor of beauty; for yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision; but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!” Kalidasa 5C AD Seminar Outlines The following options are available:
Twin Hearts Meditation This is a one off trail of a guided meditation. The ‘Meditation on the Twin Hearts’, is guided by Master Choa Kok Sui and facilitated by Merima Jackson. If you would like to try meditation but are unsure whether it will suit you, why not give this one a go. You may be very surprised how easy it is to begin. Although there is much to learn in the practice of meditation, this session will give you some starting skills. Meditation is easy and very useful. It relaxes the body quickly and calms the mind, making it easier to detach from habitual thoughts and worries. This modality is ideal for anxiety or stress related illnesses, restoring the body balance. It is good fro insomnia, hypertension, migraine, fatigue, digestive disturbances and in cases of chronic illness. Advantages of continued meditation include:
Topics covered include an introduction to meditation, some basics on stress, evaluation of breathing and awareness of breathing. A brief exercise session is followed by meditation. Evaluation of your state of being is conducted before and after meditation. This allows you to evaluate the experience. Should you enjoy the experience, I can provide you with THM groups near you. This is a two-hour seminar and is available evenings or weekends. An eight week course, centred around the Twin Hearts Meditation, is also available to provide ongoing support and practice in a group situation. This has been a successful experience for students in the past. As a community service, free meditation sessions are conducted weekly (see meditation page for details).
Buds of potential become flowers in full bloom only to die. In the illusion of death lies the seed, undeniably providing new chances, new experiences. East Meets West Inquisitive by nature, I have studied under many teachers. I studied and obtained a postgraduate diploma of Acupuncture, studied Chi Kung, participated in Tai Chi and studied Pranic Healing under Grand Master Choa Kok Sui. During my studies, many simple techniques for reducing stress and improving mental clarity were revealed to me. I believe if incorporated into every day life, they will greatly enhance one’s ability to remain calm and resilient. This four-hour seminar will introduce you to some of these concepts, allow you to monitor your experience and allow you to experience a fun time in a group setting. To assist learning, written material is available. This will enable you to focus on learning rather than note taking. As the title implies, a variety of techniques are given. Topics covered include; chants, hand mudras, Acupressure, affirmations and meditation. Each is carefully demonstrated, fully supervised, practiced and then evaluated. In this way, you will be able to assess which ones are more suitable for you personally. No special equipment is needed making it easy to use these stress reduction measures any time. This is a four-hour seminar and is available on weekdays or weekends. Introduction to Energy This stimulating, informative and practically oriented seminar provides some “New Age’ thinking. In reality, these are age-old spiritual truths. In a friendly group setting, the chance to explore the existence of energy presents, to explore chakras and to learn about their function in the body. By opening the chakras and cleansing them through meditation, you can assist your body to rebalance. This is just the perfect setting for a little energy play. Feeling and seeing energy are tremendous fun. Discover some of your latent skills. Open your minds and have fun. Begin to discover some of your latent psychic abilities, discover energy, embrace the spiritual journey and raise your level of consciousness. I have a passionate interest in people, relationships and behaviours. I am aware that we are developing spiritually and wish to assist those who want to know more. Many teachers have shown me many things. I meditate, am an Arhatic Yogi, Pranic Healer and Reiki level 2 Healer. I have learnt to work with crystals and understand energy anatomy as applied to the body. This course includes chakral function, opening the chakras and cleansing them. Energy scanning, basic aura viewing and faces complete the experience. No experience is required. Bring an open mind, a sense of humour and friends to share the experience with. By sharing with another, you help them to evolve as well. This is a four-hour seminar and is available on weekdays or weekends. Creating Heaven on Earth This seminar provides options for the home or office environment to enhance harmony, clarity and effectiveness. It is not complicated and does not require fancy equipment. Initially I researched this material for Carers of intellectually disabled people trying to find ways to help them in the daily stresses of their lives. I was looking for material, which did not require verbal feedback. Those things that had an intangible yet demonstrable affect on behaviour. If the behaviour improves then something about the environment at an energy level is producing an effect. We are all subject to many man made energy influences, which react with our body energy, creating disharmony or illness. We may not be able to slow the rate of technological advance but we can reduce the undesirable impact on ourselves. This information is a good starting point for further research. It provides an interesting and fun day. Topics include colour, lighting, music and vibration. The use of incense, aromatherapy simplified and electromagnetic smog are explained. Many more topics are covered. This seminar is to raise awareness and to encourage participants to undertake their own research. I wish to empower people to make effective choices fro their health and wellbeing from a sound energy point of view. This is a six-hour seminar and is available on weekdays or weekends. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea breaks are included. Lifting the Veil on Grief This seminar is designed to provide insight into the wide ranging experiences within the grief process. It helps participants to see that their experiences are valid. The common signs of bereavement are explored and the philosophical function of grief is discussed. many bereaved people are under a lot of stress. At the conclusion of this program, each participant will have a simple toolbox of self help modalities to assist them to move smoothly through grief. They will have self evaluation tools which will enable them to track their improvement. This is a four-hour seminar and is available on weekdays or weekends.
