Hey Everyone,

I just saw an email from Ariel & Shya about how it’s not too late to sign up for “Step Into Your Brilliance” this August 12th, 13th, & 14th, and I wanted to say Yes!  It’s not too late.

As many of you know, I create and edit the videos that Ariel and Shya send out for the Premium Excellence Club and the videos for the monthly newsletters.  I’m very proud of the newest video we did for the Kanes’ Costa Rican Adventure 2012.  It was a pleasure to watch so many of the amazing people from the Transformational communities around the world describe their experience of Transformation in such clear and effective ways.  The most difficult task I had was how to fit so much brilliance into 3 minutes!  If you haven’t had a chance to see it yet, you can watch it above.

Creating these videos has truly allowed me to step into my own brilliance, and has opened up my career in ways I didn’t know were possible.

My wife Caitlin and I will be sharing a link at the end of the month where you will be able to view a music video that we made for some amazingly gifted classical musicians.

Also, in the past couple weeks, after both making the Costa Rica video and signing up for the “Step Into Your Brilliance” course with the Kanes, I stepped into my brilliance so much that I got the lead in a new film called “King Kelly,” a guest star on a new TV show for MTV, the lead role in a short film, and a role in another film called “Nous York”!  And, I’ll still be able to come to the course this weekend!

I’m very excited about the upcoming film projects as it’s an area that I’ve wanted to work in for a long time.  I realize while writing this email that auditioning is like sharing Transformation.  I audition for many, many projects that I give my heart to and often get no response back.  It can be discouraging.  But what’s been amazing for me in recent months is my ability to let myself feel the disappointment and just keep auditioning.  It’s the same with inviting people to attend courses with the Kanes.  While some people may not be interested, I have to keep “auditioning” or sharing, because I know that I have something that the world needs.

I start filming this new movie at the end of the month and I’m very excited.

And again…it’s not too late to attend the “Step Into Your Brilliance” course this weekend!

Love,
Rod

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

I want to share something with you!

Last October I registered for the “Creativity & Intuition” workshop in Cambridge, UK  ” in the coming July. Since I knew Ariel and Shya Kane I wanted to do this course, and I was very excited about it.

Then lately my money situation was not so good;  I told Ariel and Shya my concerns that I may not be able to make it to the course and I asked for their suggestion. Ariel & Shya wrote back saying of course they would understand if I’m not coming but if I want to know their suggestion, it would be really going for it! There were still 6 weeks left that I can make the money and I have always wanted to earn more with my singing lessons. I looked and I knew that this is truly what I want, so I told myself and the Kanes that I will really go for it. And then magic happened!

First a few people contacted me for singing lessons. Then I “accidentally” got the information about getting an extra few hundred Euros from my health insurance company, based on the fact that my boyfriend and I have a child and our income does not exceed a certain amount. We applied for it and got the money within 3 weeks! In addition, I got my first check from the royalties of my music which was also a nice amount.

But the best thing came unexpected. Just a few days after the e-mail conversation with Ariel & Shya I went to a music store to post some advertisement for my singing lessons. The owner asked me which styles I sing because he was looking for a singer for his band. It is a band that plays mainly pop music for weddings, events and it pays well!

I first had doubts (such as “I am an artist! I cannot do such things… what will people think of me?!”) but I realized it was just thoughts. And after a lovely conversation with the Kanes at our last International Teleseminarm, I decided to apply for the job. I got it! First show will take place a few days after the Cambridge course – what a perfect timing : ))

Maybe some of you have been thinking about coming too and I hope this story can be a little inspiration ; )

Sending much love from Vienna,

Katrin

I read it for the first time about 6 years ago.  I had spent about 2 years in the Self Help section.  I was getting a little sick of self help.  I always wondered “why do we need healing?”  But, I was addicted to self help books.  I recall leaving my Manhattan apartment thinking along those lines, but I felt I needed a book. I didn’t know where I was going, but I ended up at a bookstore, “East West Books”.  It is now gone, but it was a great store at the time I went.  I recall standing in the large bookstore thinking “What am I doing here?  I’m sick of self help books!”  I remember being nearby the psychology section and Working on Yourself Doesn’t Work was on fire, practically jumping into my hands!  The Kanes’ other book, entitled at the time, Working on Your Relationship Doesn’t Work, also wanted to jump into my hands, but I wasn’t ready to get my first relationship book.  By the way, since then, it’s been revamped and the current title is How to Create A Magical Relationship I’ve read it a few times now and it’s awesome.

Anyway, Working On Yourself Doesn’t Work really spoke to me and it was very easy to read.  Everything in there felt like something obvious, that I already knew but hadn’t really put together.  I loved it!

I loved it so much I looked Ariel & Shya Kane up on-line.  I signed up for their email list.  I then wondered to myself if they ever come to NYC (almost EVERYBODY comes here at some point).  Well, low and behold, they are in the area and have $20 workshops almost every Monday night!  It still took me a while to get to one, about 6 months.  I just had other priorities at the time.  I finally went, and my life transformed, in one evening!  I don’t remember much, except that someone spoke about work and it was apparent from the conversation he had with Ariel & Shya that he wanted a “better” job because he didn’t think he should have to do administrative tasks in his Computer Programmer job.  It was a brief interaction, but whatever Ariel & Shya said transformed MY work life.  Instantaneously, I no longer complained about data entry or other administrative tasks I sometimes do in my professional life.

Well, that sparked me to re-read Working On Yourself Doesn’t Work a second time, just 6 months after I read it the first time.  It was still awesome.

I read the articles of the month and everything that came with the newsletter (now called The Excellence Club). Yet, for whatever reason, I hadn’t made it back to Monday Night Alive.  I simply always found something else to do on any given Monday.  I wanted to come back, and thought about it often, but I just always found something that appeared better to do.

I finally made it back.  Almost a year had elapsed since I attended that first Monday Night Alive and read Working On Yourself Doesn’t Work for the 2nd time.  I was amazed to see some of the same people that were there the last time I’d been!  I was inspired that night to go home and read this wonderful book for a third time!  It was fresh, new and as wonderful as the first 2 reads!

I’ve re-read it in its entirety a few more times since then.  I also use it as a reference to read about a particular topic sometimes.  I almost never re-read books, there’s too many unread books on my reading list.  Yet, I keep coming back to the Kanes’ books and I’m always happy I did.  I also now regularly attend their workshops and almost never miss a Monday Night Alive.  My life keeps getting better and better as a result.

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.

This week on 6/8: Relaxing Into Your Life

When you are agenda driven and your “I’ve got to get somewhere and get there fast” mind steps in, it can yank you from the flow of your life into the rapids of unwanted turbulence. And yet – relaxing into yourself and the natural rhythm of your day can allow simple little choices to have a profound impact on the quality of your life. Tune in as Ariel and Shya demonstrate how relaxation in a powerful tool for harnessing the flow of the river of life rather than fighting against it’s current. Callers welcome!

For the first time in my life I feel that my access to the moment is sustainable.

Lately, I’ve felt so much passion and sweetness in my life, I feel like sharing. After calling into “Being Here” for the “Infectious Nature of Thoughts” show, I’ve seen what a dramatic effect my attitude (and thoughts!) have on the people in my lives. Recently I’ve had a few really sweet moments with co-workers, where they shared a little piece of themselves, that was vulnerable and so honest. My music is going better then ever; I’ve been surprised by the expressiveness and creativity in my songwriting and the juicy, fun stuff that happens when I’m not pressuring myself to produce something. I’ve also started teaching art classes at a children’s art center. In addition, tomorrow I have an interview for a job at a company that specializes in metal art and decoration. It sounds like a really cool job, and I would have never had this opportunity had I not cleanly said Yes to my impulse to apply for it. And my relationship with my girlfriend Ali is becoming ever lighter and alive. A couple days ago, I looked at her face, looked into her eyes and there was this shocking moment where I experienced a completely new level of allowing myself to love and be loved. It is just amazing!

Above all, wherever I may be in my life, I’m finding that my access to the moment is becoming more effortless and more frequent. Stepping out of my thoughts, into the visual landscape of the cutting board I’m slicing vegetables on top of, or just being with a student, outside as we draw on the ground with chalk.

One last thing: Ali and I are coming to the Intimacy Workshop in June! See you in New York!

It has been the most incredible day for me.

This is more than twice as much work as I’ve ever gotten done in a day. I’ve finally started to construct some of the sculpture ideas I’ve been wanting to make moves on. I also finished a large painting, cleaned the studio, and did about 7 smaller works on paper using real birds feathers, and some old photographs. nice stuff.

We three were very harmonious, and I could tell that they both were very inspired to take this energy home to their own art work.

There is a feeling in the studio right now that anything is possible. And with my new team, there is a dynamic we have that is big and bold. I like that.

Ariel & Shya, love you both and thanks very much,

Gio

Want to tell you a cool story! We have a client who has been with us since 2005.  We designed and programmed his website and he has recently done some enhancements on his site.

Last week I asked him if he would like to come to Monday Night Alive and after asking him, my colleague reminded me that I had asked him to come a few years ago and he had said no.  Since I had forgotten, I just asked him again except this time, he said yes!  The cool part is that I may not have asked him again if I had remembered he had said no previously.  It just goes to show you people change over time and become more open.  And sometimes, asking again is all you need for them to say yes.

He is coming tonight to the Monday Night Alive!  And both Andy and I have never physically met him in person!

We are also driving in a woman who we met over lunch while Ariel and Shya were consulting at our office this past Thursday.  Shya struck up a conversation with her in the parking lot since she had the same car as the Kanes.  And she will be at the Monday Night Alive tonight as well!

See many of you soon!
Love,
Amy
