Happy Holidays, Friends!

New Year’s is one of my favorite Holidays. It’s a global “page turn” for everyone and imagination and Transformation is in the air!

After seeing that 57 people attended the last Monday Night Alive workshop, I was inspired to write a letter to Oprah, asking her to check out the Kanes and to help put their approach out into the world.  It felt so good to express my dream to Oprah.

The evening I mailed my letter to Oprah, I went to eat at a healthy fast food restaurant called Chipotle.  I stepped into line behind a man. It turned out that this person is one of the morning anchors for New York City’s main television news station that I love & watch everyday! We spoke a bit & I invited him & his wife to MNA.  It was so amazing to connect with him!  I felt the synchronicity of the moment. (more…)

Dear Friends,

My girlfriend Sandy & I came home from Hamburg two days ago, where we attended two absolutely amazing workshops, “The Freedom To Breathe” and “The License To Live” with the Kanes.

Since the start of the first workshop I have felt really empowered, fresh, complete, clear and very calm at the same time – and this feeling lingers on, in all aspects of my live. I get things done and handled without any effort or stress, I just finish what has to be done and move on to the next thing without any complaint or thought that usually came up in my mind that told me I’d like to do something different or better.

And also my relationship with Sandy feels so fresh and close and precious again – it’s like falling in love with her for the first time, again and again, from moment to moment anew! I really love what has happened and is still happening for us two and all the others who took part in the “Hamburg Adventure” with the Kanes. (more…)

Dearest Friends,

My husband Rainer and I attended  the workshops “The Freedom to Breathe” and, over the weekend  ”The License to Live”, as well as the “Tuesday Night Alive” here here in Hamburg.

It was so beautiful, sweet, soft, light and easy. I’m in awe of how beautiful and easy Transformation is. Life felt pretty good before the workshops. Things were going well; our businesses had been growing and I could find nothing to complain about. However, since the workshops I have felt like being in a room that someone cleaned the windows. The trees are greener, the flowers are brighter… Life feels so sweet and soft to me, I had no idea that’s possible. It shows up everywhere. Prior to the workshops, things that have been edgy between Rainer and I became softer and we became more loving towards each other. Not only that I am more efficient at work, it’s as if my clients turned to be easier and sweeter  to be with even with a tight schedule and a pressing deadline. I just took care of things when they came without stressing myself out. It makes everything so rich and sweet! (more…)

Dear Friends,

I wanted to share with you all some exciting news about an adventure I’m about to embark on. I’m about to leave for a trip to Bangladesh where I will be working with an NGO (non-governmental organization) called Room to Read.

Room to Read is an international organization whose mission it is to “transform the lives of millions of children in developing countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education”. It was founded by an ex-Microsoft employee named John Wood who was trekking in Nepal and visited a school only to find that the ‘library’ had fewer than 20 books which were mainly backpacker cast-offs (e.g. Tolstoy) and completely inaccessible to the children there. He vowed to come back to the school with books and thus his journey began. He wrote a book called “Leaving Microsoft to Change the World” and it is an amazing book. Room to Read is now in 10 countries around the world and still growing. (more…)

Good morning all!

I’m getting ready to take my son to his second day of Kindergarten. Yesterday morning as we walked, hand in hand, into his new school, he looked up and said:
“I can’t believe it! This is going to be huge!”
So true, Laken.

Today I noticed how much I’ve been holding on to the past, and how that has truly inhibited my ability to enjoy my life. And just now I felt, for what seemed like the first time, a relaxation around judging myself for holding on to the past. Because I’ve resisted my old habit of doing so. I didn’t like that I ruminated about events I can’t change.

But just now I felt a new energy around it. The Instant I saw it, I felt transformed. Lighter.
Thanks Ariel & Shya – and to all of you.
And have a beautiful day!

Alex

Dear Friends all over the world;

Yesterday I traveled back to Switzerland from my singing holidays in Greece. While checking in for my flight, I had a feeling that having FUN is such a great gift that I got from Ariel & Shya! Thanks you so much!

While I was waiting on line, I had a little fight with a lady next to me. Of course we didn’t talk, we just quarreled with looks and moans. It began with her trying  to cut the line. I was on alert and decided not to let her, but she made her way through the mass and stood right behind me.  While she stood on line she bumped into me quite a few times. Every time I moved up she moved with me and just a bit too close, so she ended up touching me a little. I was so annoyed by her!

Hi Everyone,

This last Intimacy course was just incredible in SO many ways. I play clarinet and my quartet (piano, cello, flute &  clarinet) was recently hired for one of our first official gigs! We are very excited and have had a lot of fun preparing the material. When I practiced my clarinet on Saturday night during the workshop, it was one of the most productive, fun and creative practices I’ve had. Until then, I hadn’t realized that in addition to playing the notes on the page, I was also talking to myself about how I was playing, the “bad habits” I’ve developed and that my tone was not as good as it used to be.  Well, once I saw that (which was actually pretty exciting), I listened.  I started to listen to how I actually sounded when I played and when I noticed that the sound was weak or frail, I made an adjustment to get the sound I wanted and it instantaneously was not only more rich and full, but felt easier to play!

When I first got my laptop it ran like a dream. Fast, fun and easy. Time went on and slowly, almost imperceptibly, its performance degraded. It got slower and occasionally had little problems. Two years later, one of the programs started to malfunction and I suddenly noticed the computer was not functioning at the high level of performance it once had. (more…)
