Christmas Wishes
As we approach the festive season I look back on a truly amazing year. Starting with Dr Guni Baxa’s (Austria) Systemic Constellation training in Melbourne; then the Certificate and Diploma in Holistic Counselling courses starting in Melbourne and Brisbane. The Work of Byron Katie Part I & II weekends with the delightful Rosie Stave. Family /Systemic Constellations weekends with the graceful Margarete Koenning and her Systemic Constellation training starting in May in Maleny, Sunshine Coast. Then Effectiveness Training courses with the charismatic Judith Richardson and the QLD group, of which I sat in on this year to up-skill and enjoyed the truly skilled Cate Crombie. The reports keep rolling in. Then more Systemic Constellation weekends with the dynamic Maria Dolenc in Melbourne. We were all blown away by Ana Lamaro’s Physically Speaking unit and we have not looked at our stomachs - our second brain, the same since!
I would like to thank all the trainers, including behind the scenes support
people: Tina Bloemer (admin/book-keeping), Kay Nieminen (newsletter), and
Student Support in Melbourne as well as the current students and visiting
students, it has truly been a mammoth year one we are so grateful for. Thank
you.
We thought of sending a crazy jib jab card but decided to spare you
the pain and instead The Awakening Group team would like to wish you and
your family a truly magical Christmas and an even more enlightening 2012.

Books
The Bond: Connecting Through the Space Between Us by Lynne McTaggart
McTaggart straddles the line between science and pseudoscience, intending
to help readers live fuller lives by understanding something she terms "The
Bond." "In every way individual things live life attached and
bonded to ‘another,'" she argues. "The idea of the individual," McTaggart
says, "is a fallacy." Her discussion of the Bond encompasses
quantum physics, genetics, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, astronomy,
sociology, psychology, and a host of other disciplines
The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to
Change Your Life and the World by Lynne McTaggart
A revolutionary and groundbreaking exploration of the science of intention.
It invites the reader to take an active part in its original research. Drawing
on the findings of leading scientists on human consciousness from around
the world, this book demonstrates that thought is a thing that affects
other things. Thought generates its own palpable energy that you can
use to improve your life, to help others around you, and to change the world.
Tantric Orgasm for Women by Diana Richardson
Exploring Tantra from the female perspective, Diana Richardson reveals
the critical role receptive feminine energy plays in allowing orgasmic
states to arise. Her 20 years of tantric research and personal experience
provide readers with an understanding of how the various parts of the female
body may be activated to deepen ecstatic states.
