I feel soooo self-expressive and have to share with you what happened to me since the wonderful workshop “The Art of Listening” in Hamburg, Germany in October! I had been really looking forward to it because as a Psychologist, I spend my life listening to other people. Ironically, during the workshop something funny happened; I suddenly saw that it was time to stop hiding by only listening to what other people had to say. It was time to listen to myself!

So I had one of my intimate talks with life and said: “Look, I know that I can be of help to people and would love to do it, so if you see a way of supporting me, now would be a good time…”

I have a strong interest in using a communication method called “Marte Meo”, meaning ‘on one’s strength’. It is something not traditionally used by Psychologists, yet aligns perfectly with the Kanes’ Workshops on ‘Living in the Moment’. It’s something that can be used by parents or anyone working with children. In my “plan”, I sat down and decided to contact all the Pediatricians in Hamburg and introduce myself so they can refer people to me…

This is quite a lovely article from the archives. Read how an individual discovered Transformation & the Kanes and what her first experience was at a workshop. She captures it exquisitely! Be careful: Results like these can be addictive…

Beauty Not The Beast

By Holly Shulman

Some time ago I moved to California looking for a change in my life. I noticed that California was ripe with all sorts of New Age options for finding happiness… for transformation. So, I took myself to a Whole Life Expo in the heart of LA, where all the New Age stuff was gathered under one roof. I thought it would be a great way to sample everything and then pick out what I thought could fix me, without getting into anything too weird, of course. There was a brochure listing every offering. Ariel and Shya Kane were pictured in it, along with a blurb about their free lecture and three hour workshop entitled Instantaneous Transformation. In the picture they looked normal. In fact, they looked beautiful in a very natural and down-to-earth way. I don’t remember what the blurb said, but I was hooked by the word Instantaneous. I wanted something instant. I wanted a quick cure for my problem.

In order to provide you with a nice mixture of material…we’ll be posting transformational articles, podcasts, and even videos here on the blog. Without further adieu, here’s a superbly written article by Ariel & Shya on what happiness is…and isn’t. One of my favorites.

Cheers,
David H.

“Happiness”
by Ariel & Shya Kane

Happiness is a very popular theme these days and we guess it always has been. From the time we were children, we have been taught that it is better to be happy. Everyone knows it is better to be happy or joyous than sad or angry or upset or unsure of what to do with one’s life. So people try, they try to be happy. In this country we pursue “The American Dream”.

We have been taught that acquiring certain possessions will bring satisfaction and so will landing the right job. And of course, many believe that finding that perfect someone, our soul mate, will bring bliss eternal. Obviously this isn’t true.
