Maree has recently returned from 'The Great Walk' at Waikaremoana with an overwhelming appreciation for the beauty of nature - and the hot, running water of home!! Now we're writing this on a glorious autumn day in sunny Hawke's Bay - there's a fantail outside the office window, the faintest of breezes, rich autumn colours, green hills and birdsong. Many reminders of the blessings of living in this beautiful country of ours! Combine this with the talented presenters we've seen this past month and it's easy to feel grateful for the lives we find ourselves living. Sometimes when faced with the day-to-day challenges of life we can overlook all the magnificence right before our eyes....be sure to take time to refocus on your magnificence today. 
In our newsletter this month we have :

'Moativational Medicine' on Tour
Richard Moat presented his one-day seminar in Napier on April 3rd and we've had great feedback from those that attended. His presentation was warm & uncomplicated, entertaining and enlightening and many in the audience who chose to work with him experienced obvious 'aha' moments and relief from physical ailments. We loved catching up with those of you able to attend and look forward to seeing Richard back in Napier on 18th & 19th June for the MasterClass weekend. Contact us if you want to know more.
Richard was also interviewed byTVHB for their 'Chatroom' programme while in Napier, and although the interview has already screened it will be available for viewing on the TVHB website after this weekend. TVHB's Chatroom is broadcast through many other channels - check out their site for details.
Darrelle Stevens & A New World
Get your meditation caps on! Yes, Darrelle Stevens' did make it to HB for a one-day workshop on 26 March - and it was fabulous! Darrelle believes it is absolutely essential for our health and life progression that we meditate on a regular basis. Her discussions on the changing world and the various meditations she led us through gave many more tools to pop in the tool-box! We'll have her new series of meditation CD's available soon (check under CD's in our shopping cart) and keep an eye out on TVHB ~ 4th May ~ for her recent interview too.

What has Maree been Reading?
An oldy but a goody! Deepak Chopra's Quantum Healing - Exploring The Frontiers of Mind Body Medicine. First published in 1989, this book explains quantum physics as it relates to the human cell - in layman's terms. Is that really possible?!!
Unlike some of Deepak Chopra's other books I found this an easy read where he explains cell memory and intelligence in a logical fashion, giving many examples throughout the book. How does thought arise? Where does it come from? How does it influence our physical bodies? How do our physical bodies influence our thoughts? How do the cells really communicate with each other? Is the central nervous system what we are led to believe? A lot of these questions are dealt with in other publications but I like how they are dealt with in this book. This is a back-up book for 'Biology of Belief' and clearly explains 'how' such things as meditation, EFT and 'Moativational Medicine' can have such a profound effect on our bodies. I love it, and if you have a need to understand how things work you will too!
Other Upcoming Events
Remember the Abraham-Hick's night on at Jill & Steve's once per month; the Full Moon Crystal Meditation with Shu on Monday and other inspirational events being held soon - including the Philosophy & Kirtan Workshop by Swami Govindananda.

The email goes on to share an inspirational video and by sharing this message it is hoped that it gets onto itunes and funds can be raised.
