During my
time learning the art of
meditation with Arian I have
received a great deal of
fulfilment and enjoyment from
my meditation sessions. Arian
has been able to teach me
many different applications
in which to employ
meditation, be it my
business, travelling in all
types of traffic conditions,
at home after work,
preparation prior to sporting
events, and during the course
of those sporting events, and
generally being able to relax
during very busy times. Arian
is enthusiastic, believes
deeply in her teaching, and
has been of great benefit to
me. I am certain others will
find her as helpful and
skilful in passing on her
gift of teaching
meditation.

During my time
at The Australian Ballet I
learnt to meditate. It made a
significant difference to my
professional and personal life.
I was able to utilise the
meditation techniques I was
taught throughout my work life
at the ballet. Meditation
helped my concentration,
increased my energy and be more
relaxed, especially with the
shorter meditations throughout
my working day. Meditation is
now, and will always be, a most
important part of my
professional and personal
life.

Having
had a baby 10 months ago and
returning full time to a
corporate executive role, my
meditation practice fell by
the wayside. Arian's training
program helped me reconnect
with everything I love about
meditation (which
incidentally helped me
through an 18 hour labour,
without drugs). I also learnt
new ways of 'keeping it real'
by building short meditations
into daily life, without
having to find a quiet 20
minutes, which is often not
possible. Short moments of
peaceful focus during a
hectic day help me to avoid
stress build-up, be more
productive and be present for
my baby and husband when I
get home. I have more energy
and I feel like I am actually
'living in the moment' as
opposed to 'doing a whole
heap of tasks.' I highly
recommend the trainings with
Arian to both experienced and
inexperienced meditators, who
are looking for ways to
create balance and a more
peaceful
life.

What
a fantastic way to step back
from and into
life. Learning how to relax
quickly, being able to
practice anywhere with the
shorter meditations, learning
to slow down my thinking and
help clear my mind, to
appreciating the insights
from other course
participants. This was a good
format for it being my first
time practicing meditation -
a very good introduction. I
truly enjoyed the
experience.

I
believe Arian's training
programs improve the quality
of the lives of most people
who whole heartedly
participate. She is a person
of wisdom and integrity. My
capacity to relax has
increased my appreciation for
the beauty around me and, I
feel more connected to
people.

I have
found the career and life
skills Arian has taught me,
profoundly helpful in
managing the challenges my
role as a stockbroker
presents me. Over several
years I have developed stress
management skills through the
training of Arian, this has
enabled me to deal with the
inherent stresses and demands
of trading for my clients.
This was made particularly
evident during the recent
January market correction;
where my stress levels
increased. I was able to
manage this stress with what
I learned, which enabled me
to provide a better level of
service to my clients, reduce
errors dramatically and
enabled me to maintain a
higher level of personal
health. I believe the
training offered by Arian is
highly beneficial and
appropriate to employees at
all
levels.

There
is no question that pressure,
and the attendant stress that
it brings, is a day to day
part of our industry, where a
hectic day is the norm.
Equipping people with the
means to help cope with that
stress and to be able to give
your mind a break from the
noise of office concerns can
only be beneficial to both
the person and the business.
It took a long time for me
'to get around' to exploring
meditation and, I am
certainly pleased that I did:
it's a great way to relax
when things are normal, let
alone when things are as
crazy as they have been
recently. Arian's simple,
practical and effective
techniques are very well
taught and can be adopted,
embraced and utilised by even
the harshest, time poor
sceptic. I am happy to
recommend Arian's training
programs to anyone because
they
work.

I
found Arian's meditation
training saved me from my
anxiety and insomnia. I am
focused more on the present.
The training made me realise
how I used to operate daily,
but now I am so much more
available to myself and
others.

Arian,
well done. Your training
course was simply fantastic.
Thank you for your passion
and wisdom. We were all sad
it had come to an end. I
especially enjoyed the way
you structured the course to
cater for the 21st century;
not the 19th century
traditional teaching methods.
Also loved your easy going,
calm, nourishing, nothing is
too much trouble

I can

meditation training for
anyone wanting to go a bit
deeper into their lives to
achieve any goal and to
understand the value of
'smelling the
roses.'

Having
attended meditation training
with Arian, I found the
methods learnt extremely
beneficial in managing day to
day stresses. She taught a
variety of techniques, and it
was up to each individual to
choose the ones which felt
the most appropriate. I most
certainly have been using
some of those same techniques
taught in later months - I am
a Private Client Advisor with
a leading International
Financial Institution and
have found market conditions
very testing of late. Without
a doubt, I would highly
recommend Arian as a
teacher/trainer and, think
that the meditation
techniques taught do greatly
benefit any participant
working in extremely busy
corporate
roles.

If
someone said to me I
would be meditating –
again, I would never have
believed it.
7 years ago I left a spiritual
teacher who burnt me pretty
badly; let’s just say I left
not knowing who I was. Arian
keeps pressing home the need to
trust myself, to trust my body,
my personal nature, my
instincts, my integrity;
because that’s where the
meditation is, that’s where
life is.
The healing has
begun.

Thank
you for breaking down
meditation to the very basics
and taking away the spiritual
snobbery often found in these
types of courses. Such a
fantastic experience and put
together so
well.

My
misconceptions about
meditation being
uncomfortable, long and
boring have been completely
dispelled. I now find myself
meditating regularly and
really enjoying it. I am much
more in touch with myself
than I have ever been before.
Thank you so
much!

A
wonderful experience in
getting to learn the benefits
of correct breathing. What
was most useful was learning
your relaxation techniques
and increasing my self
awareness. The whole
presentation was excellent,
clear and concise. Thank
you.

Life can unfurl in
the most unexpected ways. Our 6
week's of training with Arian
was a discovery of many
elements: unwinding after a
busy day, discovering
challenging thoughts from past
and present, a beautiful
stillness of the mind and a
unique and unexpected self
journey. I would recommend this
6 week course. Arian was always
well prepared, professional,
fun and able to find a great
balance in her teaching style
between the East and West. If I
could bottle my favourite
meditation and share it I
wouldn't need to write a word.
So try it, you may not come out
a Buddhist monk or nun, but you
will gain some great skills to
practice in your
life.

Arian has
been seeing me as client
since early 2003 and I could
not speak more highly of her
service. She has been
exceptionally committed to
assisting me in maintaining
my health and wellbeing
through her meditation
sessions. I now consider her
sessions as an essential part
of my life. Meditating has
enhanced my mental wellbeing
enormously and encouraged me
to further pursue this in my
personal time. We constantly
talk about ongoing issues and
how meditation can assist;
refocusing and reviewing
techniques and best practise
to relax the body and calm
the mind. I highly recommend
Arian without
hesitation.

I have
been lucky enough to have
Arian as a personal
meditation teacher. Arian
comes to my house on a weekly
basis and we spend an hour
talking and meditating. I
enjoy the fact that Arian
tailors the sessions to suit
my needs. We start the
session with a brief catch
up, talking about the hurly
burly of the week, any issues
that have been preventing me
from living moment-to-moment
to the greatest extent
possible. Arian then leads me
through a 45 minute
meditation session that
leaves me feeling refreshed
and invigorated. Arian is a
very perceptive and
understanding teacher. I
would highly recommend
Arian's services to anyone
who is seeking greater peace
of mind and self
awareness.

In
writing this testimonial I am
forever grateful that Arian
has brought our family closer
together. Not only has it
improved our stress levels,
it has changed the way we
communicate within the
family. Even the dog seems
less neurotic! The bonding
particularly between my
husband and our son is
remarkable, they actually
meditate together most
evenings.
Arian’s ability to soothe our lives
is indeed an inherent gift. Thank
you so
much.

Arian’s
meditation coaching works
because she really listens to
you.
I was desperate. My depression got
worst when I separated from my
husband. Then someone suggested I
see Arian for stress management;
that was 6 months ago. Since then,
I have discovered so much about
myself. I now feel so alive! I have
a new job, my well being is the
best it’s been in years and I feel
so much more connected to myself
and the world.
Arian has taught me gratitude with
attitude and for that I am
eternally
grateful.
