Kundalini Yoga with Sach Prem Kaur Ph: 0408522094 Kundalini is the yoga of awareness. The Kundalini is the energy that lays dormant at the base of the spine, your creative and infinite potential. Through Kundalini yoga we seek to raise this energy to transform and rebalance the mind, body, and to reconnect you to your inner self. As you practise Kundalini Yoga, you are working on that energy through various breathwork techniques, postural kriyas (set of focussed exercises), relaxation and meditation. So together with the physical kriya and Neptune gong vibration, the nervous system and glandular system are stimulated, facilitating the healing journey. Everyone is welcome to attend. You work at your own pace. Cost: Five classes - $90 (Special Offer) Casual class - $20 / $16 conc.

Yidaki Yoga with Aurora & VanderAa Sunday: September 18- 1.30pm – 2.30pm P: 0432178597 E: [email protected] Investment: $20 per person Yidaki Yoga combines traditional Yin style Yoga with the organic vibrations of the Yidaki and Djembe. Enjoy 60 minutes of slow grounding asanas while bathing in the healing sounds of VanderAa. The Yidaki or didgeridoo is an ancient wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia. Used as a healing tool in a sound bath the Yidaki can gently bring your vibrations back to a harmonious natural rhythm. The harmonic ranges produced can effect a person on 3 basic levels: Infra Sound – The Yidaki produces infra sound frequencies (below 20 Htz) that can be applied as a “no touch sound massage”. The low frequency producing characteristic of the Yidaki have been

7 reported to provide relief to a wide range of joint, muscular and skeletal related pain as well as promote accelerated healing in various forms of bone trauma. Clearing of Emotional and Energetic Stagnation – The Yidaki’s sound is an effective tool in releasing stored negative energy and/or emotional stagnation. This natural characteristic of the Yidaki combined with the sophisticated systems of subtle energy medicine theory from both Traditional Chinese Medicine (meridian theory) and Ayurveda (chakra theory) provide a high level of qi/pranic clearing and balancing. The most basic description one could give for the energetic clearing power of the Yidaki is “it is like a reiki or qi gong power washer. Meditation and Mind Body Healing – Meditation is the foundation of mind-body health. The Yidaki’s unique sound enables listeners to achieve deep meditative brainwave states of theta and delta, quickly and easily. It is in these brainwave states that we achieve our highest healing potential for both physical and mental health by reengaging our mind body connection – Didgeridoo Sound Therapy

INSTITUTE FOR QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS – with Peter Smith and Melina Paisio September 24 - 26 P: 0424 584 242 E: [email protected] Investment: $795 –Includes lunch, morning and afternoon tea, all materials and coaching during the certification period In this 3 day workshop you will have the opportunity to experience the journey through your personal universe, embracing alternate realities, other dimensions and parallel lives. We will also be teaching you our philosophies, concepts and models that embody the Quantum Consciousness Experience. On Day 1 we share various aspects of Quantum Physics and how the combination of these, together with Expanded States of Awareness and a shift in present consciousness thinking, can offer access to different realms of consciousness. Discovery of your alternate realities will bring the opportunity for healing, exploring, gaining wisdom, or being of service to your other selves. On Day 2 we explore the Expanding Realms of Consciousness model, designed to transcend the heavier energy we experience in human form, as we move into the limitlessness of your personal universe. We will see a demonstration of this profound experience before undertaking our own journeys on Day 3. Following our three days spent together, you will be free to facilitate these sessions in your own practice. You can also undertake accreditation with our Institute to then be promoted as part of our professional network. Imagine what you will offer your clients, as you guide them beyond time and space through their expanding realms of consciousness.

ZEN Melbourne Secretary Tele: 0439 389 554 Email: [email protected] or Tom Fisher Tele: 9712 0451 Email: [email protected] The Ordinary Mind Zen School is evolving a style of Zen that is adapted to Western temperaments and ways of life but maintains the rigour and discipline of its traditional roots. The teaching is highly pragmatic and is less concerned with the concentrated pursuit of special experiences than with the development of insight into the whole of life. It favours a slower but healthier, more responsible development of the whole character, in which psychological barriers and emotions are addressed rather than bypassed. It sees practice as working with whatever comes up in our everyday lives, including being in a relationship, family life, the workplace as well as the formal and structured practice of Zen. We meet the second Sunday of every month 10:00am -12:30pm, with a shared lunch and business meeting or discussion afterwards. Suggested donation to Centre $10 per person, per session. Newcomers, please contact the Secretary before attending.
