Welcome to warm and sunny June :)

Last month I talked about change and how by making even small changes in your life, there can be significant outcomes. I am happy to say that the people I have been working with this month have all experienced huge growth and I congratulate them on their commitment and focus.

If you are still unsure about where life coaching can and will take you then please do contact me for an initial free consultation where we can discuss your needs. My all-inclusive monthly coaching package can be face to face or over the telephone and includes Ayurveda advice, meditation classes and as many coaching sessions as you need. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you to achieve the ‘live you dream of…’ :)

As you can see from the photo, we had a cheque presentation for the Chestnut Tree House Hospice and another chance to visit the centre and all the wonderful work they do. We raised £726 for the charity which they will put towards the work they do to help the families of life-limited children.  http://www.chestnut-tree-house.org.uk

Thank you again to everyone who supported us and the charity by attending the LIFEstival and to all our fantastic exhibitors. If you visited a stall and did not pick up all the information you needed, the contact details for the exhibitors are still on the website: http://www.lifestivaluk.com

The topic in the meditation drop-in classes for the last week has been Peace. We all need peace in our lives to balance ourselves and also to project into the wider environment – the more everyone is at peace, the more peace there will be in the world. Try this meditation to transport yourself to somewhere peaceful:

One you have focused on your breath and come to a relaxed state, then start visualising a place which you find peaceful – it can be an imagined place or somewhere you already know. It can be by water, in a garden or on a mountain top. Once you are in your peaceful place, focus on your emotions – really feeling the emotion of peace and tranquility. It is this emotion which you are bringing into your meditation and ultimately into your day. Meditate for as long as you want to before concentrating on your breath once more to come out of the meditation.

I have scheduled in more times for my drop-in classes so if you are in the area and would like to experience a group meditation class, then please let me know. If you live further away, I can give you meditation advice via e-mail and hopefully will see you at a Saturday meditation workshop.

Have a lovely week,

Bindi

New daytime meditation classes

ByBindi

Due to continued demand, I am happy to announce more drop-in meditation classes in Saltdean :)

Meditation can:

1. Bring an increased focus into your life – so good for getting to your aims, good for concentrating on what really counts in your life.

2. Bring more positive into your life – by meditating on the positive in your life, you are naturally attracting  more positive in – which can be in the form of anything you desire.

3. Increase your relaxation – it can help you sleep, aid your relaxed response when you are in a tense-situation and need to calm down quickly.

4. Help you to become stress-free - with meditation we concentrate on the now and bring gratitude into our lives at the moment – this leads to less stress about future things which may or may not happen and more happier living now.

Drop-in meditation classes in Saltdean:

Tuesdays:                                                         Wednesdays:                                                Thursdays:

11 – 11.45am                                                      9.15 – 10am                                                 9.15 – 10am

2 – 2.45pm                                                                                                                             11 – 11.45am

3 – 3.45pm

The first class is £5 and then £8 per class or buy 10 sessions for £65.

Please contact me for more information: 01273 302 350 or via the contact form on the website: http://www.anamaya.net/Web/Pages/contact.html

I look forward to guiding you through your meditation journey soon,

Hello Everyone,

I hope you have all had a good week. It has definitely been an eventful one for those of us in the UK, with the results of the election still not certain. One thing is certain though – there will be a change.


A change is always welcome in my world. Even small changes can be significant in people’s lives and it is amazing seeing the positive outcomes which people can make with a little coaching to help them along the way. If you are interested in making some changes or would like to recommend to a friend, I have an all-inclusive monthly coaching package. This means Ayurveda health advice, meditation classes and as many life coaching sessions as you need in the month – all for £150.


The main event in my life this month was the LIFEstival which I co-organised with Amanda (D-Stress & Go). It was a fantastic event with exhibitors and the public alike enjoying the weekend. Over £700 was raised for the amazing charity Chestnut Tree House Hospice for Children: http://www.chestnut-tree-house.org.uk. I visited the hospice a few weeks ago and they really do a wonderful job with supporting the parents of the children and allowing the children to have some time for fun and play.


Thank you to everyone who supported us and the charity by attending the LIFEstival and to all our fantastic exhibitors.


As the topic of this week is change, I would like you to take a few moments out of your day to think about what you would change. Once you have something, think of the necessary steps it would take for you to make this change. Finally feel what it would be like once the change is made. If it is a real change then the feeling you get will be very heartfelt and the desire will drive you forward to make the change.


If you would like to discuss this more, please get in touch with me,

Have a lovely week,

Bindi

Welcome to the month of April!


I would firstly like to thank everyone who has sent messages of condolences to me regarding my cousin, Samir. For those of you who do not know my cousin passed away on 23rd March 2010 aged only 44 years old. It has been a challenging time for the family and we are gently starting to heal ourselves.


Although very young he was an extremely positive person, and this came through with his battle against cancer. His dream from a young age had been to move to England from Mombasa where he grew up and this dream was fulfilled two years ago when he moved to London with his wife and two sons. He definitely lived life to the full and enjoyed every day.


His legacy, I believe, is to make us all aware of the fragility of our own lives and thus to treat life as precious. Do something special for yourself and for a loved one today :)


My next workshop will be on 17th April on the meditation technique of Visualisation.
We can use visualisation in our lives to become more positive, to achieve the dreams we want and to move forward from negative emotions. If the weather warms up sufficiently, we will have the option of going to the beach at the end of the workshop to use the healing powers of the sea in our meditation. Please contact me to book: bindi@anamaya.net


Again thank you to all of you for spreading the word about the LIFEstival, the health and well-being show in Saltdean 1-2 May 2010, I am really looking forward to seeing you there. Our stands are almost gone, but please still get in touch if you are want to exhibit and I will see if we can fit you in.  50% of all our proceeds will be to the Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice, who provide much-needed care and support for families when a child develops a life-limiting illness. For more information see the website www.lifestivaluk.com.


I have been doing a gratitude meditation in my drop-in classes this week. The more you can acknowledge what you have and be grateful for it, then the more you can receive into your life.

Take a few moments to think of what you are grateful for today…it can be the little things such as the flowers you saw on your walk, the sun shining on your back through the window, the smile you received on the train to work…. or the bigger things such as the love of your family and friends, your fantastic job, your lovely house.

Feel the positive energy when you feel the gratitude and it is this energy you want to take with you for the rest of your day.


Have a peaceful Easter weekend everyone and enjoy the time with your family and friends,

Welcome to Spring!


The weather here has definitely warmed up, the days are longer and there is a spring in people’s steps.
It is truly wonderful being by the sea in this season.

Welcome to all my new subscribers whom I met at the ‘Spirit of the Millenium’ show in Hove last Sunday. It was wonderful meeting you all and I hope you had as an enjoyable day as I did.


The last month has been one of immense growth for me. The results my students have had from the meditation classes and workshops have amazed them – I’m pleased that so many people have embraced meditation and it is wonderful what a difference it is making to their lives. That is what my ‘live the life you dream of..’ programme is all about. It doesn’t have to be the big dreams which make a difference to your life…the everyday lessening of chatter and worry can be all the change you need to really make a difference to your life and so starting living the life you dream of… which may in essence be the same life but simpler!


With simpler in mind, please do check my blog out for making your e-mail life easier. A lot of us are tending to become more and more inundated with e-mails as technology progresses and more of our networks start being online. I have written seven ways to make e-mails easier so do take a look at the blog and add your comments: http://anamaya.net/Blog/?p=261


Thank you to all of you for spreading the word about the LIFEstival, the health and well-being show in Saltdean 1-2 May 2010, I look forward to seeing you there and if you’d like one of the stands please get in touch. 50% of all our proceeds will be to the Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice, who provide much-needed care and support for families when a child develops a life-limiting illness. For more information see the website www.lifestivaluk.com.


I thought I’d end on a meditation to truly still the mind as that has been the focus in the last month.


Take a few moments to get comfortable, so roll your shoulders back and relax your arms. Then when you’re ready start observing your breath. You don’t need to take deep or long breaths, but just observe and be aware of the way you are breathing. Is your breath hurried? Is it regular? Is this the first time you have ever thought ot your breath? As you start becoming more aware of your breathing, relax and let go of any tension you have. Gradually start taking deeper breaths and then slower breaths, especially on the exhalations. Keep all your focus on the breath, letting other thoughts go. Keep with this breathing meditation until your mind feels calmer and more at ease.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and enjoy the March sunshine :)

Happy February!


Well what a month January was! With snow keeping us inside, I feel as though I’ve only had three weeks of the new year so far!! I know a lot of you have experienced the same and I am still talking about setting 2010 goals with people everyday. My next teleworkshop – a conference call, so you can be in the comfort of your home – on goal setting will be Saturday 20th February 10-11am. You will get all the handouts by e-mail which we will work through on the call and an individual 15 minute session afterwards. The cost of the teleworkshop is only £10 and it really will steer you in the right direction for achieving those goals or resolutions this year.


Our LIFEstival is fully under way now with our marketing and getting stands booked. If you would like to be a business sponsor and feature on our website, leaflets and flyers and have your company information displayed throughout the weekend, then please get in touch. 50% of all our proceeds will be to the Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice, who provide much-needed care and support for families when a child develops a life-limiting illness. For more information see the website www.lifestivaluk.com.


I was also interviewed for Diverse Ethics in January. Diverse Ethics is a social enterprise which provides expert information, training and a consultancy service for public and private organisations. For the full interview and more information about Diverse Ethics see http://www.diverseethics.com/article/interviews/voices/binditherapist


A new year always makes me think about moving forward and growth. But what about the events, habits and feelings you cannot let go of and which are restricting and limiting your growth? If you find yourself in this situation of frequently looking back or remembering things which have hurt you, then now is the time to let this hurt go and move forward for the future.

A brilliant technique of letting go is to write down the event which is sticking in your mind. By writing it down, you are letting it leave your mind and go onto the paper instead. Then tear the paper up and throw it away…this way you have let go of the event. Try it, believe me it does work :)


Have a lovely rest of the month and ’see’ you in March!
