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!

Menna and Artur describe their journey from nearly divorcing to being in love and best of friends.

We just took the Transformational Time & Project Management seminar with Ariel & Shya Kane at the New Yorker Hotel on 34th Street and 8th Avenue in NYC.  Wow, we are all so excited about what we experienced and created together.

Humor, passion, fun…what does this all have  to do with the projects on your to do list?  A whole lot more than we all thought.  Here are a few things we discovered: (more…)

A few weekends ago, we did “The Freedom to be Yourself” and  ”The Freedom to Breathe” seminars with Ariel & Shya Kane the Thursday before.  It was simply amazing. It was sweet and soft and fun and flowing and easy.

For a while now, life feels so good and it feels good no matter what the circumstances are. It certainly hasn’t been the case for most of my life. Nothing, including myself, was ever enough or perfect from my point of view, which is very different these days. Now, everything is enough and perfect and impeccable and it includes learning new things, expanding and looking…
I’m more “HERE“ and in this moment I don’t  work on myself, doubt myself or pick on myself when I think I forgot something or made a mistake.  And there’s very little resistance to the way my life is showing up; it doesn’t matter if what shows up is my preference or not. (more…)

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:

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!!!

See Ariel & Shya talk about various topics, including their Costa Rican Workshops, Romance and their award-winning books.

In late October, we did some inshore fishing – the last for the year – in Montauk, NY and had a National Geographic moment. It was a cacophony of birds diving and fish blitzing as they dove and chomped their way through the huge schools of baitfish. Check out our video!

Hi Everyone,

I am proud to share with you an article I had the privilege to write for New York Resident magazine:

“Tranquility in Midtown Manhattan”

Ariel & Shya advertise in this magazine and asked me to write an article in the June issue!  I wrote it the weekend of the last course, Transformational Time and Project Management. When I sat down and saw all the things I wanted to say, it was so easy – and really fun – to write (much easier than I had thought it would be).

The article is about my experience of taking Ariel & Shya’s workshops and the wonderful results I’ve experienced (and continue to experience) in my life.

Thanks to Ariel & Shya and everyone for your support in making this happen. Enjoy!!

Love,
Val

Lately, my days are full of events. It feels like a day has more parts than it once had. Every time I see a clock, I’m amazed how early it is, and how many things I can do with my time.

Also, everything looks beautiful, and full of DETAIL and light and color! The tropical-ness of Costa Rica seems to have followed me to New York, and everything is looking exotic, and full of life.

Things have been easy, and I’m finding I am willing to do the things that need to be done, without even wondering if I want to do them.

I feel so loose and creative, and the things that are happening around me are ORIGINAL.
