Dear friends all over the world;
Today is the Christmas Eve. For my husband Christian and I, this is a very important day in a sense that we love to make it special for our children (3 and 5 years old). Christian and I have the most beautiful memories from our childhood of Christmas Eves; we would like the same for our children and try our best to make it happen.
We have protected all the “big lies” about Santa Claus, the carriage, the reindeers… etc. In the area I grew up in it is the Christkind (Christ child), not Santa Claus, therefore we sometimes have to make up stories to put them together (“well, Santa Claus prepares the gifts and the Christkind helps him deliver them”…etc). Santa Claus also brings presents to adults; he passes by the grandparents’ house, decorates the tree therefore the living room is locked till Christmas mornings. We place milk and cookies in the entrance of the house so that he can eat and once the things are gone (my father in law takes care of that while we are in church), we know that Santa Claus was there. It’s probably more familiar to the Americans than to the Germans, but now you’ve got the idea. (more…)

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. (more…)

Hello Beautiful People!
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. (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 all over the world;
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. (more…)

Ariel and Shya are coming to Cambridge England!
Join us in the heart of the beautiful city of Cambridge, England for an incredible life-transforming weekend. The seminar will be held at The University Centre, overlooking the river, situated next to acres of green fields, close to the Botanical Gardens and only a few minutes walk from King’s College and many other historic colleges and sites. If you stay in the city for the whole weekend, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to see the sites and even partake of an evening of picnicking and punting to enjoy Cambridge at its best in the balmy July weather.

Being 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!

Hi guys,
I had an amazing experience today which I wanted to share with you. We received our electricity bill for our house a week ago and it came in at £677 for the past 3 months. My flatmate Marina came to me and shared with me that she thinks it would be fair if I’d pay more towards the electricity bill than my two flatmates due to the fact that I work from home and use up more electricity than the others due to my laptop and me having the heater on during work. She didn’t say how much she would think it is fair for me to pay, she said pay what you think is fair and that I should consider paying more not because of her opinion but because of my personal development and being fair.

Hi Guys,
I have just spent 2 amazing days in London with my work mates who are based up in Scotland and who came down to London for our “team cultural away days”. The trip was paid by our 2 bosses who said it was a reward for the great work we’ve been doing. We stayed at the famous 5 star hotel “The Ritz” and had amazing lunch there, then our company hired a professional choreographer only for us and we learned to dance to Rihanna’s “I’m the only girl in the world” song. In the evening we went to a comedy store and watched stand up comedy. The following day we hired a studio and a private drum instructor who showed us how to drum to samba tunes and we finished our trip by having “traditional afternoon tea” which is very british at the famous Savoy hotel in London. Here’s some videos of our trip and our team from the dancing and the drum sessions:
Dancing at Pineapple Studios
Samba Drumming Session
The reason I’m sharing this is not to show off but just to say that I would have never found this amazing company and job if I wouldn’t have learned from Ariel & Shya Kane, how to be “in the moment” and be a “yes” to life. I still remember that before Costa Rica 2010, I was not happy with the job I was in and thought “this wasn’t it” and a future job will be better! In Costa Rica I learned to be in the moment and to be a “yes” to life and that whereever I am and whatever I do is important. When I landed in NY on my way back to London from the Costa Rica trip in 2010, I had a text from a recruitment agency that was offering me a job for a gift voucher company. My first thought was “no” I don’t really want to work for a gift voucher company, it didn’t fit my agenda and didn’t “sound” good in my ears! However having learned to be in the moment in Costa Rica, I said yes and just showed up to the interview! The moment I met my Manager and I had the interview with her, I knew that this was an inspirational lady with an amazing job to offer and I wanted to work with her! It wasn’t about gift vouchers ie the product, it was all about this person (my manager) and what I could learn from her as she was so inspirational and she’s also into personal development and really cares about us employees and our personal development. I never had such an amazing feeling before where I just knew that this is the right job for me, it was as if my intuition said YES YES YES!!!
