Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program. We all know what it feels like to be stressed, running on autopilot, with a sense of 'mindlessness' - a loss of awareness resulting in forgetfulness and the feeling of living mechanically. By contrast, 'mindfulness' involves intentionally paying attention to any or all of your experiences, internal and external, occurring in the present moment, and is taught through a variety of meditation exercises. Through mindfulness training, the MBSR program will teach you how to become more aware, moment-by moment, of the physical and psychological factors impacting on your well-being. This in turn allows for more skilful choices, a richer experience of day-to-day life, and the development of a stronger sense of self-mastery, self-care and self-responsibility. Course runs for 8 weeks, Wednesday evenings 6:30 - 9:00pm plus full-day Sunday, 22nd April at YWCA, Central. Cost $2850 (YWCA members) $3090 (non-members). Call Angela on 3476 1340 to reserve a space on one of the free Orientations.

Owning Your Creativity and Manifesting Goals. ~ Rev. Olivia Ebrahimi. Monday 12th March. Time 7.15pm ~ 9.30pm Fee: HK$250/person. We all have the ability to create, but for various reasons we get programmed to limit this ability. In this workshop you will learn to ground and release energies that have caused you to lower your light. You will learn how to clear your space, and to create on an energetic frequency so that what you wish for can manifest. The tools and techniques you will learn have been developed at the Berkeley Psychic Institute (BPI) in California.
Teacher: Rev. Olivia Ebrahimi is the Director of the Berkeley Psychic Institute in Los Altos, California. One of Olivia's careers was painting on silk and creating wearable art with her paintings. Her business 'Olivia' was located in San Francisco, California. She sold her work to over 250 locations across the United States. Olivia's work showed in numerous galleries and wearable art stores. One of them being the Museum of Modern Art Store in New York City. Olivia now teaches people how to own their creativity using Psychic tools. She teaches people how to ground, run their energy, heal themselves, see auras, and do clairvoyant readings. She has taught thousands of people to become more self aware so they can lead lives that validate them.
The Berkeley Psychic Institute was founded by Vr. Rt. Rev. Dr. Lewis Bostwick in 1972. In Lewis's words; God gave you the right to know yourself. What we find at the Berkeley Psychic Institute is Man's pursuit of his Grace. How does one find God's love if he doesn't know it inside his own divine being? As a spirit expresses himself through a body he finds that the total value of his body is reassessed and that it adds up to his personal Grace." Reservation necessary.

Awakening the charkas introduction evening. The Chakradance™ holistic exercise program is a journey into Self where the focus is on personal experience rather than performance. Drawing on a fusion of philosophies and musical styles, spontaneous dance is used to balance the chakras (energy centres). Because of the stresses of modern life, it is not often that our chakras are fully balanced. Through dance, we can free up our natural energy flows and harmonise our chakras, thereby strengthening our state of health and well-being. Guided by music resonating to each of the 7 major chakras, participants are taken on a dynamic dance journey through their own energy centres. No dance experience or prior knowledge of chakras is necessary. Facilitator: Catherine Chai. Date: 14-March-2007 (Wednesday). Time: 8:00pm-10:00pm. Venue: Healthwise Club, 1/F 15 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong.

Personal Awareness Course ~ Phil Davies. Sunday 18th, 25th March & 1st April. Time 10am – 5pm HK$1200 for whole course. This was a hugely popular course held previously on Friday evenings. Many more people who enquired about the course could not make weekday events so Phil has restructured the content to enable presentation for 3 days instead of 8 weeks. If you're a beginner or want to deepen your understanding in a practical way this is the place to start! You will not regret attending this valuable workshop. Phil Davies' knowledge of energy, and the various ways in which he has been able to link with spirit, has given him a unique understanding, as well as the ability to relate to the many ways people can develop their senses. These factors make it possible for him to offer constructive advice on how to nurture these senses. There is much more to the world than meets the eye. Everything we see within this world also holds several subtle bodies. To most of us they lie hidden; to some they are visible and are called the AURA. The different vibrations of these subtle bodies are easily tuned into, and once you have learnt to read them the information can be utilized for our greater knowledge, overall health and wellbeing. As well as being more aware of our own energies, we are able in turn to apply this knowledge to 'tuning' into the subtle energies of others, so that we may become more aware of the needs of our friends, or the animal and Plant kingdoms. This psychic information is not something that is limited to a 'special' few, it is the forgotten ability of the many and an ability waiting to be reclaimed. Reservation necessary.

Public Talk & One-day retreat by Matthieu Ricard. Organized by Centre of Buddhist Studies HKU. Public Talk on "How to transform oneself to better transform the world".
