Warmest wishes,
'You Who Are Filled With Ambrosia
Dive in, go beyond all reacting.
In rapture, identify with the One
Who knows everything from the inside:
Invisible power pervading everywhere.
Divine Presence permeating everything.
Identify with this, and
Breathe tenderly as
The lover of all beings.'

Spacious Breathing
'The weight of it all was unbearable and I collapsed to the floor sobbing. For the first time I was able to have an embodied experience of how much burden I was enduring at the time; it proved to be an enormous breakthrough.'
Arian Young
How can you be the keeper of your own peace at this time of the year and not be effected by doubt and uncertainty during the holidays and festive family gatherings? Inappropriate gifts, too much alcohol, in-laws, step families, end of year tiredness or the unethical uncle; it can be a testing time as we try to manage our reactions to all kinds of challenges.

| Interview: Look Who Meditates In The 21st Century |
Imagine learning meditation from a psychiatrist, whose own meditation teacher trained cosmonauts to meditate in the old Soviet Union...
How and when we meditate, is a personal matter, indeed. We know what food we love to eat, the clothes we prefer to wear, or the music we love to listen to, right down to how we enjoy making love; our essential nature is always informing us.
Introducing Yelena Palei an expert in beauty therapy and all things beautiful, a make up artist, mother of two adult children who meditate and a loving partner.
Arian: How did you initially discover meditation?
Yelena: I was introduced to meditation about 11 years ago. My first meditation teacher was a professional psychiatrist in Russia who moved away from treating her patients with medication and instead, taught them how to meditate without the dependency of prescribed drugs.

Our one day workshops will recommence in March 2010.
"My fears about meditation being boring, terribly disciplined and uncomfortable are no longer real. Arian is so tuned in to what is happening with the group it's astounding. Her gifts inspire us to be curious, creative and imaginative ... thank you so much!"
Jennifer Dawson -Midwife and painter

"I didn't know what to expect and it was just so refreshing to be involved in a course that was practical, with an instructor who not only spoke with great experience, but also has an appreciation for the real world and real life experiences without judgement. Thank you so much Arian, a really positive experience."
Pippa Mcnaughton-Smith - ANZ Bank

Lisa Mantella - Account Manager Optus
"Arian's message that you can't do somebody else's meditation but your own, has made me see why I had so much difficulty learning meditation years ago; her training gives me the freedom I need to keep a balanced and happy life."
Chris Thompson. Architect - Melbourne City Council
"Arian uses her very own experiences and opinions of meditation that encourage us to stay the individuals we are; not imitate traditional meditation theories and practices. It's the best way through to our own self-discovery and self-awareness. The best rules we learnt ... is that there aren't any, meditation with Arian is like discovering a new part of your brain to play with and explore; there's no reason for anybody not to do this course."
Leanne Savage. Senior Graphic Designer - Headland
In a world where numerous changes happen in a heartbeat, let the path of self-discovery and integrated living become an exploration to finding what helps your prana (chi, energy) flow and watch the stress go.

Cool Science and Labyrinthine Meditation at Harvard Medical School
Brian Knep an artist in residence at Harvard Medical School creates wonderful mandala works from the likes of microscopic transparent worms. Interacting at free will with colonies of Caenorhabditis elegans, a transparent worm that has about thousand cells and using a technology that has silicone chips, Knep creates tiny mazes and other forms for the worms to interact with. Offering choices about where the worms go, he raise questions about free will, community, and even life and death.
Induce pain relief through meditation
For people coping with pain a brief training in mindfulness meditation can help improve pain management. In a recent study that tested meditation's effect on perception of pain, meditation trained participants had less of a response to pain while meditating and even experienced less pain sensitivity when they weren't meditating. Researchers suggest that meditation may help practitioners tune into the present moment rather than dwelling on the negative emotions caused by pain.

For your mind and heart A study recently presented at the American Heart Association suggests that relaxation is key to coronary artery disease management. Researchers followed about 200 high risk patients for an average of five years. Among the 100 who meditated, there were 20 heart attacks, strokes and deaths. In the comparison group, there were 32.
The meditators tended to remain disease-free longer and reduced their blood pressure significantly.
