The year 2011 had gone by all too quickly and we are now in the year 2012! Is it going to be the end of the world? I doubt. With the end of the Mayan calendar, we are moving on to a whole new era of life, the Age of empowerment, a time that requires us to empower each other. To be the light and reflect that light, so that you can make a difference in somebody else's life.
To make a difference in your life, we have a whole variety of workshops & classes lined up just tor you! Our classes of Yoga, Meditation and Reiki are going on as usual over the festive season. In fact, in January master yoga teacher Udvelananda will be coming from Vietnam to share with us the higher teachings in true yoga lifestyle. Following that, Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, our Tibetan medicine teacher will jet set here for another round of teachings in Tibetan medicine, Dream Analysis, and Tibetan Geomancy, just in time to set things right for the new energy shift in the lunar calendar. I can't recommend his classes enough! Being my main teacher for Tibetan medicine, I have gained so much from his teachings intellectually, energetically & spirituality.
Then, Hari Tahil will arrive from Japan, to give a myriad of classes from the Spiritual Unfoldment Network, wonderful stuff! Also from Japan, Yuki Hakui will be teaching Kunlun Nei Gung™. Just so you know, Yuki received many rave reviews from her trip last year!
For the first time, Raju Bouchard, a gifted healer, musician and spiritual teacher in the holy tradition of Sri Sai Kaleshwar Swami will offer powerful womb healings, workshops and spiritual music here at Basic Essence.
With such a rich offerings of healing modalities and workshops from different cultures across the globe, you are going to be spoilt for choice! I hope you will take up these wonderful opportunities and actively participate in our programmes. And through them, may you receive much benefit and deepen your personal and spiritual growth. Have a blessed, joyous and empowered year ahead!
Love & Peace

Usui Reiki Level 1
with Jacqueline Yu
One of the wonderful things about Reiki is that anyone can use it. It is not for 'special people' or 'spiritual' people. It is for everyone. And in this lies something special. Receiving a Reiki attunement opens a connection to a greater understanding of what life can be. New and exciting possibilities present themselves, beneficial 'coincidences' happen more often, and a greater understanding of what life can be. And a greater awareness of and connection to one's own potential is revealed.....[ more ]

How to Meditate on the Inner Weather of the Mind
with Toby Ouvry
11th January (Wed)
7:30pm - 8:30pm
We will be learning a meditation practice that will enable us to appreciate and enjoy happiness, joy and pleasure when it arises in our mind and life, whilst at the same time remaining inwardly stable and appropriately accepting when difficulties, anxiety and other challenging states of mind and circumstances arise.
In a day and age where we often find ourselves isolated and cut off from nature and the Earth this practice is a great way of combining meditation with a re-connection to everyday environmental awareness.
The class will consist of a 30-40 minute practical meditation, and a twenty minute or so talk.
Cost for class: $25, includes MP3 recording of talk
