Such a gift from Stefanie in Rosengarten Germany

Friday, October 28th, 2011

StefanieL_CRDearest 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…)

Feeling Awake, from Alex in Brooklyn, NY

Monday, September 12th, 2011

alex lakenGood 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!

“Being right versus being alive” from Antje in Hamburg, Germany

Saturday, September 3rd, 2011

Antje_1Dear friends,

I wrote an e-mail to my Dad and his wife. As I was writing, I realized that it had become normal for me not to fight with them, and the choices have always come down to “being right versus being alive” !

My daughter Lilly and I recently spent a day and a night with my Dad and his wife. Little things happened before and during our visit, in the past I would have gotten upset about (I wanted to be right that my Dad’s wife was wrong!). And now everything is so smooth and it was sweet and lovely!

At this moment not having to fight seems to me the biggest gift of Transformation!!

Love,

Antje

Fight versus Fun from Corinne in Switzerland

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

Corinne 2009Dear 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!

The Power of YES!

Friday, May 13th, 2011

flowers sBeing a “Yes” to your life and the way your life is showing up in each moment shifts your reality and allows for you to truly take control of your own life. Saying “Yes” (and meaning it) is a skill–set. With practice, you will get better at being a Yes, regardless of the circumstances.

Are you ready to discover the magic?

Check out the awesome online radio show “Being Here“, one of the top rated shows on the Voice America network.

Tune in and let the hosts Ariel & Shya be your strength trainers as you discover the power of your own personal Yes!

Being Centered, from Corinne in NYC

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

Hi,

corinne-mI have been traveling a lot in the past few weeks and I have a story about transformation. The night before I left for Hong Kong, I took a taxi home as I had several bags.  When I got to my apartment, the doorman helped me out and as I walked to the door, I turned to notice that my briefcase with all my work documents was not there.  I had left it in the taxi.   While this was minutes after I got dropped off, the taxi had already left our block. I was really upset.  I was leaving for Hong Kong and all my paperwork that I needed was gone.

I realized in that moment, I could be upset, really upset; however, I could also just be me.  I heard Ariel and Shya say (I parapharase), “You don’t have to lose your center when things happen that are not in your preference”.  So I walked upstairs, tried unsuccessfully to call the Taxi Commission and started dinner with my husband.  He was upset and wanted to help me find the bag, but I suggested we eat dinner and deal with the missing bag after.  (It was Hanukah and we also lit our menorah!).  As we watched the candles flickering, we were enjoying our dinner and the bell rang.  It was our doorman, the taxi driver found my bag and returned it to me!  It was a  Hanukah miracle!  But the real miracle was that I handled this situation without drama.  I had a very enjoyable evening.

Miss you all very much!

Best regards,
Corinne

Being Right versus Being Alive from Corinne in Switzerland

Monday, December 27th, 2010

Hello my dear friends all over the world,

corinne-gabrielI would like to tell you my experience about being right versus being alive.

For some time I know Ariel & Shya’s work, read their great books a few times, listen to the wonderful radio shows, watch the lively videos of the Premium Excellence Club and so I heard about “being right versus being alive” and I thought a lot about it but couldn’t understand it really. I thought when I’m right why should I give up my right to be right for being alive. I’m alive.

Yesterday I experienced what it meant. (more…)

Andy & The Story Pirates, from Andy in Brooklyn, NY

Monday, October 25th, 2010

Hi Friends,

andyAbout a year ago I auditioned for a theater company here in New York City called The Story Pirates and was cast in their company of actors.  Story Pirates is a theater company made up of actors, teacher, improvisors and comedians and we take stories written by kids and turn them into plays and then perform them for those kids!  It is amazing company to be a part of.  Not only do we perform kids stories, but we go into schools and teach writing workshops all over New York.

Over the past year I became one of their most used actors and teachers, and I owe so much of my many successes with Story Pirates to putting myself into Ariel and Shya’s Transformation Workshops!  Thanks to you both and the support of the amazing Transformational Community I have so many amazing things going on in my life and want to share a couple with you right now.
