I’d like to tell you the story of how this book changed my life into an extraordinary adventure.

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.

Dear friends,
At the end of November I moved into a new apartment, a spacious two bedroom apartment with a beautiful sunny balcony in a very nice and green neighborhood.

There are two more apartments in the building, one with a young men and the other with my landlord. He is a kind, supporting and very open person. I felt at home here right from the very first moment and we had some nice conversations.

Hi All,

We are having a BRILLIANT time in Cambridge. We are even starting to sound a bit like the Britts
Our course this past weekend was so profound. By Sunday afternoon people were spontaneously popping into their brilliant selves. It was inspiring to see and be a part of the fun.

If you are available or have friends in the area, don’t forget to come and invite folks for our talks in Cambridge tonight and London on Friday evening. By the way, many of you have indicated that you are coming to one or both of these events and if you are, don’t forget to register! Here are the links:

Dearest Friends,

Today we have been so productive and everyone we have spoken with: client, coach, stranger, friend  have all been touching to speak with. We are off to record a radio show now but find ourselves wanting share with you what we have been feeling which is that: Life is Grand!

We posted the video of our Boston Television interview from last week on Facebook (a social networking site that is really great and you may want to join if you are not on already) but realized that many of you may not have seen it so here it is again: http://tinyurl.com/6yhkrg

Thanks for being in our lives and part of this great community.

Love,
Ariel and Shya

Here’s another great article written by Ariel & Shya .  I find it very refreshing to see that enlightenment doesn’t have to happen on a mountain top in a meditition pose, but can happen right here, right now, at home, at work or anywhere.

Enjoy,

Let’s talk about being in the moment. Let’s talk about enlightenment or Self Realization or transformation. Most people see these things as esoteric endeavors that require thought, intentionality and work that is arduous and difficult. The prevalent idea is that Self Realization can only be approached at special times under special circumstances and in special environments, such as in meditation centers, workshops or retreats. However, there is the possibility that these esoteric pursuits can not only be engaged in, but also achieved in the ordinary course of our lives, during every day activities. Since most of our days are occupied by our professional careers or work, it is possible to use this time to discover how to be in the moment and live one’s life in a transformed, Self Realized way. It has been said that it is easy to become enlightened on a mountain top but difficult in the marketplace. In today’s world, the office can be equated to the modern day marketplace. We are of the opinion that Self Realization need not be difficult and that it is possible to become aware doing the ordinary activities of our lives. Many people approach this moment as if it is not “it”. They see this moment only as a stepping stone to something else. This moment is “not what God intended”. People don’t realize that this moment of now is the only way their life can be and that whatever is happening in this moment is all that can actually be.
