Welcome to the

What does the
festive season mean to you?
The festive season can mean many different
things to different people. For some it is busy, others relish the time
out and for some it can be quite lonely. We see it as an opportunity to
look back over the year and contemplate what the year has brought to
us. Some great questions to ask are; What have I achieved this year,
what will I do differently for next year. See the New Years ritual
below in “Thought of the month” for some guidance on how to make the
most of the energy of the new year.
Our courses for the year will finish next week as will the Cinema for
the Soul. We will re-commence in February 2008 with our Questioning
Truth evenings beginning on Monday 4th February and our Body Energetics
on Tuesday 5th February. The Cinema for the Soul will also re-commence
in February. Your next newsletter will be the end of January 2008 and
will give you details as to what is screening at the cinema for the
month of February.
We look forward to seeing you next year.

 Body
Energetics Weekly
CAREY BAY: Tuesday evenings
Bringing
your subconscious mind (your body) into alignment with your conscious
intent creating a world of freedom, ease and opportunity,
Body Energetics is an exploration of the best ways to allow
the body to release the limitations standing in the way of resolving
core issues. Body Energetics integrates both traditional
and esoteric bodywork methods from around the world, with a singular
focus: a gentle, sensitive, non-invasive touch and a personalized
approach to you. Body Energetics sees you, the client, as the true
source of healing, and sees the client's way rather than the
practitioner's way as the path to that healing.
Attend our "Body
Energetics" night and begin to explore some of the benefits
experienced through Body Energetics which include: Increased self
awareness, relief of pain, stress and tension, accelerated healing and
injury recovery, and greater enjoyment of one's physicality.
Time: 7.00pm to 10.00pm
Investment: $30 night

NOTE: This program will finish for the year on Tuesday 11th December 2007 and will re-commence Tuesday 5th February 2008.

truth-teller, Body Energetics is one of the most
powerful tools available for empowerment and personal effectiveness in
all areas of life." |

Thought
Of The Month: Your
personal empowerment
tip
As
we move into the New Year, we can focus on bringing balance and harmony
into our lives and on imbuing the coming year with the qualities we
most desire. We can also set the intention to appreciate the present
moment, which, in turn, brings sacred meaning to our daily rituals. The
Intention of the New Year Ritual below is: To release everything
that does not nourish and sustain you and to envision your future in
ways that will support you. You will need quiet uninterrupted time for
this ritual.
Part 1:Purification
Begin
by cleaning out your house. Throw away broken items and dead plants.
Make sure everything is clean. Symbolically, you are creating a fresh
space for new things to come into your life. Give things away that you
no longer need. If they are valuable, give them to friends with a note
explaining what they meant to you.
Take an inventory
Make
a list of all your debts then pay off as many bills as possible or at
least send something to symbolize your intention to be debt free.
Forgive anyone who has harmed you. This does not condone their actions,
but as Sharon Salzberg says, "when we are held prisoners by our own
past actions, or the actions of others, our present life cannot be
fully lived." Ask forgiveness to anyone you have harmed.
Decorate your home
Make
a special effort to bring symbols of health, happiness, and prosperity
into your living space. Create an altar or simply arrange pictures,
statues, flowers, plants, ornaments, or other objects that are
uplifting, beautiful, and meaningful to you.
Inner guidance
Take
the time to be still and offer prayers for guidance in the coming year.
Write down your thoughts in a new journal, which symbolizes the start
of a new cycle. Allow this conscious ritual to alter the way you see
your life and give you a fresh perspective. Give your mind permission
to play with new ideas.
Part 2: Share your holiday with others
Invite
friends to a New Year's ceremony that honors each individual's path.
Have every person share his or her vision for the year. It is powerful
to have others be witnesses to your dreams. Take five minutes to focus
on peace by having each person light a candle for peace and healing.
Dance, sing, and celebrate life. When we have expended too much energy
attempting to control our lives then we need to move into balance by
becoming spontaneous and embracing the present moment. If you do these
things, you enter the new year, cleansed, renewed, and with a clear
intent on traveling the path to consciousness, fulfillment, and
prosperity.
Social Gatherings:
DRUMMING: We
had such a good time drumming last month that we have decided to do it
