Dear reader

As the end of the year draws near, and the festivities begin, we would like to acknowledge all that we are grateful for. In a nutshell, we give thanks for everything. We have no complaints whatsoever.

This, here, now, is home.
Born from the planet,
made from her soil,
the oceans flow through our veins,
the breath of all green things inflames the divine fire within us,
protected by our kith and kin,
we are bound by love.
Every day, the world begins anew.
The universe is this moment.
Simply bless life.

YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE IN THE MAKING

Yesterday we thought we were 20,
racing towards the finish line,
adding more to our to-do lists,
trying to hit astronomical targets.
Time, it seems, flies insanely fast.

Nature… your nature is speaking. Are you listening?

Doubt, disillusionment, despair, and depression
are gateways to authentic spiritual awakening,
the escape from concepts.

Truth is not a concept, journey, or conclusion.
It is your Reality.

Let illusion lift from your mind.
Salvation is undoing.

We know now that we must move away
from the constant rushing and digital noise,
and start cleaning up,
replacing what is lost.
Self-love, self-care, and healing are the new activities.
Shanti Gowans
The power you seek is the power from your Soul.

Stop running and begin deep looking.
Flashes of inspiration that blink on and off
arising from being deeply identified by what we call “I"
as an essential psychological activity, not an existential result of Reality,
Replace inspiration with guidance from your deeper Truth.

We are born into existence
for the sole (soul’s) purpose of living.
That which we are born into
has already given us life itself:
to have and to hold,
to cherish as our own,
'till death us do part.

Your future is not moulded into shapes
based on circumstances beyond your control,
nor the conformity to a pattern
from parents, teachers, doctors, religious leaders,
and expectations arising from how you ‘ought’ to be.
Forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past.
You are good enough just the way you are.
You are worthy.
You are innocent.
You are forgiven.
You are perfect.

No matter how tough life gets,
remember that you are a masterpiece in the making
When life meets life, it knows.
The world has changed because you have arrived.
You have come bearing gifts.
You cannot take anything when you leave.

Discover, uncover and activate what you are waiting for.
Within you is everything you seek.
You put something wonderful in the world
that was not here before you arrived.
You are the universe’s blessing.
Simply bless life.
GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF HEALTH

Most gifts give us moments of joy that quickly fade, leaving us wanting.

What if you were to give yourself the gift of health?

Give yourself permission to rest, restore and tap into new sources of energy
- not just to experience increased comforts and conveniences, but your wellbeing.
- not to become something new, but to claim more of yourself.
- not to just enhance your capacity and activity, but your being.

Mindfulness allows you to produce your true presence.

Self-education is not about enhancing your capacity and activities. It is about giving yourself a gift to help you reach the full potential of your being.

Promise yourself to look at the sunny side of life and make your optimism come true.
- to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
- to talk health, happiness and prosperity rather than being in the intensive care ward, in a medical emergency, or in dire straits
- to make everyone you interact with feel that there is something magnificently worthy about them
- to think only from your truth
- to find more ways of celebrating being, saying, feeling, and living the extraordinariness of the world and being alive in it.
CLASS ATTENDANCE

Our Centre exists for you, and because of you.
When you attend our simple, but profoundly deepening classes,
trusting and optimistic,
resting in joy, in contentedness,
and cultivating more and more of these moments
that link you with the richness of the presence,
you will experience
a shift in your focus towards your health and purpose
replacing dwelling anxiously in the past and worrying about the future.
You are one, whole and complete.
You have added "wonderful and excellent" to your day.
Thank you for your support.

HEALTH INSTITUTE AUSTRALASIA TRAINING COURSES

Is it time for a big shift in your life?

If you like to work with people and have gravitated towards a career in wellness because of a strong need to help yourself, and further down the track others through your work, then this could well be what you've been looking for!. If you can visualise yourself sitting in a room with a client, listening to them talk… about diet, food, nutrition, and addressing other issues with them that may come up, such as stress, sleep, and making time for exercise, then the holistic approach of Ayurveda and Yoga will enable you to really share something that will help them. The vocational courses of Ayurvedic Health and Yoga Teacher Training, provide you with a wide variety of ways to help you guide your clients more effectively, and provide them with better support to assist them to make lifestyle changes, and help them build healthy habits to help them thrive.
