<div>The beginning of a year is a powerful time. There is almost a sense of a clean slate. Where anything is possible. This is a powerful year upcoming: a new election, the Olympics and the end of the Mayan Calendar. Whatever lies in store for us all&#8230;it&#8217;s big.</div>
<div>They say when two or more people gather in the name of ANYTHING it&#8217;s more powerful.</div>
<div>They also say you have to SEE it to BELIEVE it.</div>
<div>So let&#8217;s envision our year together.</div>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve posted info below for a new six week course about envisioning the life you want out of 2012.<br />
It&#8217;s about manifesting. It&#8217;s about intentionalizing. It has snacks.<br />
Let&#8217;s get together on purpose&#8230;and let&#8217;s make a frickin&#8217; vision board!!</p>
<p>Hope this year brings you everything you envision and more!<br />
Let&#8217;s really take the lid off this thing,</p>
<p>namaste,</p>
<p>Ariel</p></blockquote>

<p><span style="color: #9b1c1c;">DESCRIPTION</span></p>
<p>Almost every tradition of manifesting states some version of: you have to see your intention clearly before it becomes your reality. Together, we will explore what you want to create in your life for 2012 (and beyond.)</p>
<p>We will discuss the energies of money, your career&amp;lifepath, love-passion&amp;sex, health&amp;well-being, healing your relationship to the past to live in a happier, brighter and more vibrant NOW and being seen, heard and recognized for who-you-truly-are. Each week there will be suggested homework (including a tip you can bring home to incorporate into your living or work space.)</p>
<p>We will do some visualizing and manifesting exercises. We will nosh a little. Sometimes we will laugh until we pee. And at the end of the course you will walk away with a vision board. Who knows, you might even make a friend for life!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #9b1c1c;">WHEN</span><br />
Fridays from January 20th – February 10th (4 weeks) 5:30-7:30pm (Upstairs Classroom)</p>
<p><span style="color: #9b1c1c;">DESCRIPTION</span><br />
Though life is filled with challenges, there is always, always, always something we can do about it.</p>
<p>If you are noticing that one particular challenge is coming up in your career, consider dropping into one of the following workshops designed to help you break-through that wall! If you feel that every workshop topic might hold some insights for you, there is a discount to take the entire 8-week series!</p>
<p>Remember, if you always do what you always did, you&#8217;ll always get what you always got!</p>
<p>4 week- Career Coaching Series. Drop in&#8230;or take them all!</p>
<p><strong>CLASS 1: MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE EGO</strong><br />
The ego plays the role of sabateur in most of our lives. Wrestling with your ego can create anxiety, worry and exhaustion. The voices in our head can mess with us on the way to the audition, during the audition and in the most critical time: after the audition. Come to this class if you want to be more present and more confident in following your impulses.</p>
<p><strong>CLASS 2: MAKE SPACE FOR SOMETHING BIG</strong><br />
You can’t pick up something new in your life unless you put down what you are holding onto. Come to this class if you’re feeling undervalued, are afraid to leave that day job, if you are always second choice, or if your agent/manager dropped or when you look at the unknown it is a frightening place.</p>
<p><strong>CLASS 3: FLIP THE SWITCH</strong><br />
Feeling not enough? The not-enoughs can seems to start in one part of our lives and spread to other parts of our lives until we constantly feel unworthy of the success we so badly desire. Come to this class if you’re feeling not pretty, skinny, talented, smart, or magical enough…or if you don’t have enough credits, money or appointments for your taste.</p>
<p><strong>CLASS 4: TAKING THE LID OFF WHAT YOU THINK IS POSSIBLE</strong><br />
There are times in our lives when we need to ask for what we want. This starts in our dreaming. We then may wish on a star, a birthday cake or in class circle. What happens if you get there and draw a blank? Come to this class if you have a problem dreaming big or if a voice in the back of your head thinks: “that will never happen” when you do.</p>
<p><span style="color: #9b1c1c;">INVESTMENT</span></p>
<p>STUDIO MEMBERS<br />
$40 drop-in<br />
$280 for all 8 ($35 per class)</p>
<p>NON-STUDIO MEMBERS<br />
$45 drop-in<br />
$140 for all 4 ($35 per class)<br />
*This series is like a vitamin B-12 injection for your mind, body, and spirit.*</p>

<blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Despite the money we spend on our wellbeing, we will confront new and often premature health threats simply because of the world we live in. We will live longer than any previous generation, but will we live better? People focus on adding years to our life, but we need to look at the root problems that keep us from living the life of our dreams and not only add years to our life, but life to our years.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many approaches to feng shui: many schools, many philosophies and many cultures.</p>
<p>When you start to realize how much information is out there, it can be a bit overwhelming. There is the study of earth energies, influence of the suns trajectory and the magnetic energy of the north poles. There is a collection of thousands of years of study into the “right way” to lay out your space. There are ba’gua maps and cures and ancient energies called Chi.</p>
<p>Add in some cultural superstitions, some books that share conflicting philosphies and peoples worry about doing it wrong…sometimes this whole feng shui thing can be overwhelming!</p>
<p>One principle to consider in feng shui is the law of relative placement which states: that which is closest to you has the most impact on you.</p>
<p>If you paint a wall red on the other side of the room, or clear out your storage unit, or even fix all of the broken items leading to the front door of your space…will that help you?</p>
<p>Absolutely.</p>
<p>But what is closer to you than your storage unit, your front pathway and the wall across the room? The furniture you are sitting next to. The floor under your feet. Your cellphone/laptop and watch. The clothes on your body. Your energy system. The food you are digesting. Thoughts in your head.</p>
<p>Each of these environments impacts you. Studies show that color on the walls can affect your mood. Neuroscience tells us that the shapes of rooms can affect the way our minds work. The images we look at can influence what we think about: consciously or unconsciously.</p>
<p>And it goes beyond what can be seen with the eye. Electronics can affect our mental states, our physical health and our energy systems. Black mold and dust can be detrimental to our ability to breath which can affect our overall health. And residual chi (or the energy left over in the space from whatever happened before) can affect the new inhabitants and affect their experiences now, today.</p>
<p>So what can we take from all of this? Stay mindful of the environment that immediately surrounds where you spend the most time each day: Beds, desks, couches, and cars. This also goes for the cellphone you hold up to your ear, the clothes you wear (seen and unseen, as well as what you have running inside your head on a regular basis.</p>
<p>Every environment has an impact on your well-being, your longevity and your ability to do what you say you want to do. Start with what is closest to you and work your way outward.</p>
<p>Here are two fun quotes to contemplate:</p>
<blockquote><p>“When there is harmony in the home,<br />
There will be order in the nation.<br />
When there is order in the nation,<br />
There will be peace in the world.”<br />
-Chinese Proverb</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.” -Gandhi</p></blockquote>
<p>Have a wonderful spring,<br />
Ariel Joseph</p>

<li><strong>Make some space or You Can&#8217;t Pick Up Something New In Your Life Unless You Put Down What You Are Holding Onto</strong><br />
Our stuff, like gravity, has an effect on us whether you believe in  feng shui or not. Look at shows like Hoarders which show the effects of  clutter on peoples lives. Also people like Suze Orman talk about getting  your home in order because it can have a direct relationship with your  financial life.  If you have &#8220;stuff&#8221; all around you it is like an  emotional barrier to the world. The goal in feng shui is 50% stuff, 50%  space. (I can suggest an easy process on how to declutter an area which  requires no thought.)</li>
<li><strong>On Purpose and With Purpose or The way you do anything is the way you do everything. </strong><br />
Intention is a huge part of feng shui. You don&#8217;t just buy a plant and  throw it in the corner and expect that the plant is &#8220;doing anything&#8221; to  help you on your path to increased wealth or growth in business. You  would actually need to place the item, visualize the end result you are  intending and then do a little blessing or prayer or just say thank you.  This process can be replicated over and over again throughout the setup  or design of a space. It is only when our homes have pockets of  unconsciousness that problems arise.)</li>
<li><strong>Create an &#8216;energetic&#8217; clean slate or getting rid of things that soap, water and a sponge can&#8217;t get to.</strong><br />
For every layer of paint in the apartment building, there is a layer of  energy from those past inhabitants. This is called inheritors chi  (residual energy.) This energy can be positive (happy family, successful  business or lots of love and passion) or negative (someone was  fighting, someone went bankrupt or someone suffered&#8212;they were sick or  even died in that space.) It is important to take energetic ownership of  a space when you move in. Performing a space-clearing or blessing or  even having a housewarming party are all good ways to take ownership of a  space.</li>
<li><strong>Cloistered Nun Position or The top reasons your space is screaming that you are single.</strong><br />
When we are children we want to feel safe and protected. For this  reason we would put a child&#8217;s bed up against the wall. When we are  older, putting our bed into this position makes up appear closed off to  love. Literally, there is no room on the other side of the bed for  someone to enter. Or the bed is too small for two people. Either way,  this is having an affect on your love life because you are putting forth  a message that your life is set up for one person. Or that you are  protecting yourself against love. And it is an invisible element that  people pick up on about you, like confidence. What is your bedroom  saying about you?</li>
<li><strong>Who&#8217;s Got Your Back? Or What the Godfather knew about Feng Shui but didn&#8217;t tell anyone (or he&#8217;d have to kill them.)</strong><br />
Sitting with your back to the door is a feng shui no-no. It can affect  us on many levels from our health (not seeing what is behind you can  trigger low levels of anxiety/fight or flight to be activated in a  person which over time can erode our immune system), wealth and power  (sitting like a king or a queen, or the godfather feels different than  being a worker bee with your back exposed) and more&#8230;Whether it be  psychological (feeling empowered) or practical (I won&#8217;t be shot in the  back of the head) there are many reasons why this positioning for our  furniture can help us on many levels. We can also create a feeling of  protection by making sure someone &#8220;has our back&#8221; whether it be  bodyguards, soldiers or images that we hang behind our desks.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A win-win solution is one that is for the highest good of all parties involved. To me this is the epitome of a balanced exchange. It is the embodiment of symbiosis, mutualism and co evolution. In its most simplest form, it is treating others as we wish to be treated.</p>
<p>I love looking for win-win solutions but they don’t always present themselves right away. They aren’t easy at first, because in order to make room for something new in life we have to put down what we are holding onto. Over time, I find peoples tendencies are to get complacent, numb out and finally to stop paying attention altogether.</p>
<p>I think that it can be easy to let go of things that we don’t want to make room for things that we want. I also think that it is harder to let go of things that we want to make room for things that we really want. The reason this has so much meaning for me is that anything less than a win-win scenario seems to create an imbalance which is both unsustainable and ultimately unfulfilling.</p>
<p>A lose-lose scenario is one in which both parties feel that their needs are not being met. This environment is toxic, unfulfilling and is not likely to continue for long periods of time. This is also the most obvious example of something that doesn’t work. Win-loses can be more elusive.</p>
<p>A win-lose scenario is where one party benefits and the other party does not. Or it can refer to a situation where you feel fulfilled on one level but empty or uncomfortable on another.</p>
<p>In nature this is defined as parasitism. One entity leeches off the other and drains it. This is unsustainable because the party being drained will grow tired of being taken advantage of and the parasite is constantly wondering where it’s next “meal” will come from.</p>
<p>What if we are doing these things to ourselves?</p>
<p>I believe that people attempt to take energy from one another, or create imbalanced exchanges because they don’t know there is an alternative, they can’t conceive of how the alternative will truly work or because they don’t trust that such an exchange will work.</p>
<p>To change this starts with an awareness that every experience contains within it some sort of exchange. There is an exchange of energy when we purchase something, when we go to work and offer service and when we make love to one another. What are you exchanging?</p>
