Hi all,

I just had the privilege to participate in the Freedom to Breathe/ Art of Being a Healer. It was truly magical and I feel great.  I feel so alive and centered.  Cool story, I am in the airport waiting to board a plane.  When I got here, I wanted to work on a strategic presentation that I will be presenting on January 5th and 6th. I knew that I could channel this energy into completing a project that is really important to me. I felt so clearheaded that I knew the words and ideas should come to me.

I spent maybe 35 minutes and I have the basis of my presentation complete.  For one part of this presentation, I thought I didn’t have anything to say.  But when I looked at the questions my CEO posed, answers and ideas flowed!

Plus, I had a magical morning with my husband!  Life is good.

So cool!  I love transformation!  I encourage everyone to sign up for the next workshop.  This community is amazing and Ariel and Shya have created something so special that we need to seize the opportunity and take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself!

All my love,

Corinne

I’ve been feeling great lately. Life had been darn good. Work is great, my marriage is awesome and I’ve felt healthier than I’ve ever felt. And last night it got better!

Last night at Monday Night Alive I signed up for The Freedom to Breathe & Art of Being A Healer workshop, and maybe for the first time ever, I signed up just because I wanted to be there. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always wanted to be there, but this time something was different.  Before there was always this tiny voice inside of me saying things like, “Man, I could really use this course” or “Maybe this will set me right” always something like that. But last night I signed up just because I wanted to be there, with Ariel & Shya and my wife and mother in law and everyone else who is coming. I signed up not because anything was wrong with me and I needed to get better, I signed up because I looked at what I wanted, and what I wanted was to be at that course.  And when I got home my skin felt electric! I was jazzed! Revved up and ready to go, but not like in a, “Ok, now I’m going to get better” way in a “Life is amazing! So much is possible!” way.

Today was awesome!  I went for a jog this morning by myself and in the past if there wasn’t someone else there I was running with, I wouldn’t let myself be as good as I was.  I would quit on myself by slowing down to walk when I didn’t need to, or not running as far as I do when running with a friend.  But I didn’t let that happen today.  Not that I was hard on myself and thinking, “I have to run like this today,” but I was just running and enjoying it.  And the leaves!  Oh man, have the leaves always been like this in Brooklyn every fall?  If so I’ve never noticed it before.  It was so beautiful!  And later today I was leaving work, (which was super great) and I was walking in the rain and I loved it!  I truly love the rain, I always have, but I can’t remember the last time I really let myself enjoy being in it.  I was listening to music and Van Morrison’s “Wild Nights” came on and it was like I heard the chorus for the first time ever.  Van Morrison sings, “And everything looks so complete, when your walking out on the street.  And the wind catches your feet and sends you flying.”  That sums up what I’ve been feeling all day long and I accredit that to signing up for the weekend.

If you haven’t signed up for The Freedom to Breathe & Art of Being A Healer and you’ve been thinking about it and you can make it, don’t wait, go online now to www.transformationmadeeasy.com and sign up tonight. If you know folks who’ve been thinking about signing lets support them in making it. And if you know people that you think would have a lot of fun at this course, invite them. I reached out to an old friend this morning about coming and I it felt so good just to invite him!

Get in on this good feeling. This is an exciting time in all our lives simply because we’re alive. Let’s embrace this season of giving and give the gift of Transformation to as many folks as we can! It’s too fun to keep it to ourselves.

Lots of Love,

Andy

PS: Hope to see lots of you folks at Joe’s yoga class Friday night!!!

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.

It is like Ariel & Shya told us from time to time and what they called “Happiness Amnesia”: I keep forgetting how absolutely wonderful the workshops are. That doesn’t mean that I don’t know and realize that they are great, it’s just a huge difference of “knowing” that something is wonderful and of “experiencing” it!

For me it was the first time (besides Costa Rica) that I took part in a “the Freedom to Breathe” workshop – and I was absolutely amazed again what a gentle, easy and effortless way it is to get connected to yourself and your breathing partner – it felt like beeing catapulted very smoothly right into the moment (which sounds a bit like a paradoxon, I know, but it is none, when you actually experience it . I also realized that I had a story in my mind, that the breathing in Costa Rica felt so smooth and easy because there I have already been super-relaxed and effected by the beautiful surrounding – and it would be a whole different experience in Hamburg. It really turned out to be a whole different experience, but only in terms of being a completly new, absolutely amazing experience. I realized that it really doesn’t matter at all “where” you participate in a breathing workshop with Ariel & Shya – it pulls you immediately and effortlessly into your body and into the current moment, no matter if you are in Costa Rica, in Hamburg or in New York.

So I want to invite you all to give yourself the gift and to join us for the next two workshops in Hamburg in Spring (no matter if you live in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the UK, France, the USA, Canada or even Hong Kong!); starting with a brilliant “Freedom To Breathe” workshop on the 29th of March 2012, followed by the “Secret Of Wonderful Relationships” workshop from the 30th of March till the 1st of April.

If you think about coming to either of the workshops or both of them, make sure to register now, because as you all know, the workshops already start when you register – and who wouldn’t want to have the “Freedom To Breathe” or the “Secret Of Wonderful Realationships” right now for the next 5 months in advance?

Love,
Benedict

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!

One of the things that I discovered from the workshops, how sometimes things felt edgy between Rainer and I was that I wasn’t really listening to him. I wanted to be the one leading, so I’m in charge. I said how we do things and what he had to say was not so important, and  it’s not only with Rainer, it’s with my sister, my friends, clients… I want to be “the good kid”, the one with the better story, the better…anything! Along the way over the workshops I gave up wanting to be different, to be over with something, to get rid of or hide things and  behaviors I didn’t approve of myself. All of a sudden life was softer, easier and fun to see all the ways the things I didn’t like about myself showed up! I really love the way Ariel and Shya talk about the third principle in the current Article of the month. “Anything you allow to be allows you to be”.

It’s really amazing how much I sometimes forgot or took for granted what a difference Transformation makes in my life, how much my sense of well being deepens and my ability to be in the moment strengthens after the workshops. Things just got smoother and brighter! Just as Benedict mentioned in his recent email that it’s just a huge difference of “knowing” that something is wonderful and of “experiencing” it! I’m really happy and thankful to Ariel and Shya, who made the long trip so we could have them here in Europe to! It was a treat to be with you!

I also want to invite you to share Transformation with your friends. It was such a gift to be with everybody in the courses and saw the difference Transformation makes to everybody who was there. You just never know who will say yes. I met my neighbor Monday night on the street and spontaneously invited her for the Tuesday Night Alive. She couldn’t make it but said she would love to come for the next call. She came on Wednesday to ask how it was and see if I have the date for the next call she can attend. I was so surprised. I mentioned the workshops to her before, but only in a way that we’re chatting about what we’re up to. In my idea of who she is, she wasn’t “the type” to come to a workshop. You never know!

So looking forward to see many of you in Costa Rica or hear you on the next international call.

Love to you all from beautiful, rainy morning,

xoxo

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

Last week I came back from a 10 day vacation with a dear friend of mine at the Ligurian Coast in Italy. We had stayed with relatives of hers and had the best time: sun and rain, sea and countryside, beautiful encounters and conversations with people, lovely food (and ice cream!!) and a lot of fun. In the midst of all beautiful things something truly magical happened to me.

I have my own business as a PR consultant & an interpreter. In the last three years English became the predominant language that I have been called on to interpret. Recently I considered concentrating on English, and stopped working with the Italian language completely.

I was sitting by the water on the shore, reading an Italian book, looking at the children jumping into the water, enjoying the breeze, the sun and the water on my skin when I suddenly felt some sort of hate towards Italian people. I noticed it, quite surprised… I saw it and it was gone. Something really interesting happened next. It felt as if somebody took a lid off of me and all my passion, love and admiration for Italian people and Italian culture came bubbling up…

I could see, that this passion had been left behind somewhere down the road at the end of a relationship with an Italian guy two years ago that simply didn’t work. No one to blame. And yet, unbeknownst to me I had contracted after we broke up and somehow had begun to shy away from all things Italian as if “Italy” was somehow to blame.

It was an amazing experience. I dived into Italian culture again. Chatting for hours with the ladies at the beach next to us, connecting with people I met from the gelato man to the lady in the espresso bar… I enjoyed each moment. I rediscovered so many things I knew and loved (including how good my Italian is : ) and learned so many new things about these amazing people.

Coming home last Tuesday evening I found myself reloaded with passion in ALL areas of my life, from undoing my luggage to work, from minutia to dating. The lady that had covered for me did (as always) an excellent job. I found a lot of work, interesting jobs & requests for offers; a technical company I’m working with offered me a higher commission rate; things took care of themselves; I discovered exciting new perspectives for my second business (gift products)… and so on and so on. The list is long. I got an incredible amount of work done in a very short time, realizing that I’m focused and precise in my communications. Things went smoothly, one after the other. I participated in a amazing singing workshop last weekend which was great fun and had a lovely date on Sunday night. Things that I would have said before I can’t do within five days. YES I CAN…

Thank you, Ariel & Shya for the gift of transformation, and thank YOU ALL for being part of my life.

Transformation is incredible and a gift to share!

Let’s keep inviting people: To Monday Night Alives, to the International calls – September 20th is the next one.

And if you feel the impulse to participate in the upcoming workshop in NYC “Transformation in the Workplace,” give yourself the gift… and the workshop in October in Hamburg and Costa Rica 2012.

Ariel & Shya offer so many wonderful “tools” to have a truly magnificent life…. and the world is waiting for it.

Much love,
Karin

Last weekend I attended the workshop in Cambridge – Creativity and Intuiton. It was my first workshop in Cambridge. WOW! Being there with eveybody and experiencing Transformation was magnificent.

I would love to share what happened for me. This course already started when I signed up (well, actually it happened for me every time I signed up for the Kanes’ workshops). This time with the title “Creativity and Intuition”, creativity happened in me without thinking or having a specific purpose for it.

For example one of my passion is photography. Weeks before the workshop I had photo shootings with different people. I had so much fun taking pictures and everything was a flow. People were enthusiastic about the photos I took from them. One person even said that she never had such lovely photos of her before.

Two days before I left for Cambridge, I was asked to take photos of 14 employees of an organisation founded a few months ago that needed photos for its brochure. Prior to my departure my mind was occupied with the ”todo list” and the preperation for Cambridge, but I said YES and promised to be there on Wednesday. So I did it. I did my very best and the shooting went well! Still there was my mind talking to me: photography is your hobby, you are not a professional and I was worried if everything went well…

Okay so far. NOW after the workshop I checked my emails and guess what? The organisation was so enthusiastic about the photos so they put them on their website, so was my name mentioned in the rubric of the company information. Here is the link if you are interested in seeing them; the first nine were photos I took  www.millionways.org/millionways/die_crew.html

Wow, isn’t that magical? I am sitting here with a big smile.

Thank you Ariel & Shya! Thanks for the possibility of Transformation! And with it we can all discover and unfold ourselves everytime anew. You, Transformation and the whole community rocks : ))))

Have a great time!

With much love and sunny greetings,
Katja

We had lunch together last Friday. Corinne and I invited Manuela to follow her heart and join us in the Creativity and Intuition Workshop in Cambridge. She said yes and I was so inspired!

For me, the Creativity and Intuition course is effective BIG TIME in advance:  I found my new car this weekend perfectly smoothly and effortlessly. Decisions I would previously have pondered for days, were not really “decisions”: every action required was just taken one after the other. On Monday, my friends that know about cars came support me to make choices. We met with the car seller and it was a lovely encounter! How the car seller supported me during the test drive was just perfect. I was amazed at all the supports the universe kept providing us and how effortlessly everything went!

Transformation sooooooooooo rocks!

Thank you Ariel and Shya for sharing it again and again. Thank you lovely team, for being a great community.

I love you all,

Annina

P.S.: I couldn’t resist attaching a photo of my new car (by Jürg Gerber) !

Dear Friends,

So I ran across some piece on one of my passions – living longer and better.

There is a new movie coming out – “How to Live Forever”. It looks great and an interesting review for it can be found here.

In this review, there is a wonderful paragraph:

“While the scientists talk about therapies to reprogram the body, the individuals here who have achieved old age — by no means a representative sampling — all seem to share a happy, positively outlook. They aren’t bored for a minute but fully active and engaged with a life full of potential, not limitations.”

More evidence of the value of Transformation. Since Transformation has happened for me, boredom simply does not exist. I am looking forward to a long and healthy life because of the all the possibilities that have opened up for since I restumbled upon Ariel and Shya, just 2 years ago now.

Thanks to all of you for adding to these possibilities – lets get out there and create!

Ciao my lovelies – cheers from Canada!

John
