Hello friend,

April 2010

With Autumn here, the light begins to fade and the air chills, it’s time to take stock, reflect and appreciate what we have … it’s all good. We have recently recorded a new series of meditation recordings for you, fresh from the studios of SBS with our remarkable sound producer Damaris, whose impeccable attention to detail makes anything possible. We look forward to posting them on our Store for your benefit next month.

Alan and I swooned to the extraordinary sounds of Kirtan great, Dave Stringer who visited our shores in late March. Kirtan is a folk form of devotional music from India. Ignited, we listened to the music, as we became the music, inciting the crowd to explore being the instrument with ecstatic expressions of clapping, dancing and singing to the rhythms building and accelerating in our bodies and hearts … pure radiance! The point is to move and be moved. When was the last time you truly moved to music you love? Invite yourself to give in, with total abandon and feel your stress melt away. Anton, thank you for this joyous occasion.

Our 4 week Self-Care Meditation Courses  have just got bigger. Due to increasing demand for our courses, our June Course has been forced to move from our beloved venue Vitality and into our new larger home, at the resplendent Carmelite Church, in Middle Park. Thank you to Simon Floreani, Vicky Karamitos and staff for your tireless support; we miss you already!

As a keynote speaker for The Australian Meditation Conference in July, I completed an interview this month, for the Herald Sun and the Daily Telegraph. Many thanks to Paul Majewski.

It's hard to honour your own existence when you're in overwhelm. Read this month's Your Meditation Coaching Space on how to anchor yourself for a calmer, more present and clearer state of being ... when we meditate, confidence is not a pre-requisite, it's an outcome.

For lovers of fine art, don’t miss Chris Chun's beautiful meditation on 'Cupcakes and Memories' which can be viewed at ArtMelbourne, Royal Exhibition Buildings, Carlton, April 22^nd-25^th.. Chris is my talented cousin.

Thank you again for inviting Continuum into your inbox.
Keep breathing to be the change you live.

Love All Ways!

Our 4 week courses for 2010 are very popular - March was booked out six weeks before the start date!

The June course is taking bookings already, so book early to avoid disappointment. (September and November also available).

So how are you travelling so far with your sense of self?
See what people have recently said about our 4 week courses:

"Being a doctor, and a busy mum, learning to spend quality time with yourself is just so important and it should be guilt free. Thank you for teaching me to be free; I only hope I can be a better partner, mum, doctor and human being!"    Dr Shireen Tabataba

"I thorough enjoyed meeting Arian and Alan, two very kind and interesting people who genuinely care about people's wellbeing - that comes through so clearly. Thanks for introducing this wonderful experience to my life."  Gavin DeLaroy  - Accountant Optus

"A gentle, challenging journey into such powerful meditation techniques - able to be used everyday. Arian is a wonderful teacher, warm, empathetic, powerful. A magnificent experience!  
Sally Fisher - Badjar Oglivey

"It's amazing to learn what meditation really is without all the externals from someone who knows and cares. As a team, Arian and Alan work seamlessly together, bringing a spirit of safety, compassion and comfort as they unveil their approach. Really beneficial, enjoyable and fun!" Andy Rutherford - Converse IT Engineer
   
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.

Let our 4 week Learn to Meditate for Self-Care Courses be the road back to yourself!

All classes are conducted in comfortable chairs.

'Discovering Your Needs as a Woman in Meditation' 

"I recently attended a workshop with Arian and I suffer from a condition known as Chronic Daily Headache, lasting as long as 9 days and averaging 2-3 days in bed. I experienced 15 minutes of pain free time during the workshop, and I have been able to recreate this pain free time on my own ... reducing the number of times I reach for pain relief medication. I really urge others like me to try it, I sleep much better than before...much deeper. Thank you so much Arian!"    
Lori Muddyman - Project Officer - Yarra Valley Practioners Project

"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
