Hi everyone,
For many of you who asked me about courses, here is an NLP course I highly recommend. It is a Certified Accelerated program taking place in Dubai over 7 days, offering a powerful combination of NLP, Time Line Therapy™ and Hypnosis.The trainer, Amina Khalifa, is a Certified Trainer and Professional Coach in Neuro Linguistic Programing (The American Board of NLP, ABNLP), Time Line Therapy™ techniques (Time Line Therapy Association, TLTA), and Hypnosis (The American Board  of Hypnotherapy ABH). 
She teaches: "NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of guiding principles, attitudes, and techniques about real life behaviour that allows you to change, adopt, or eliminate behaviors, and gives you the ability to choose empowering mental, emotional, and physical states. Time Line Therapy techniques are simple techniques of active imagination to  get rid of negative emotions and limiting decisions and to set goals in the future. And, Hypnosis is the process that produces a state of intensified attention and increased awareness, where the unconscious mind accepts suggestions".For more information about the course

January has passed already. It flew by very fast. How are you proceeding with your goals, plans, and dreams? Did you start achieving some of them? Did you take the steps your promised yourself to? 
With the New Year still ahead of us new hopes, options, challenges and opportunities are there for you. Don't miss it, don't procrastinate, don't lay down and give up. You owe it to yourself to fulfil your life dream, your higher purpose and meaning. Go back to your plans, read them again and decide about your next step(s) and if you haven't devise any plans yet, it's time to start. It's never too late. And as  I was taught, life is like a huge football field. Every day you have the choice of being one of the players or a mere spectator. The players are the ones taking the risks, the ones who exert the effort, sweat and fatigue; they are the ones who sometimes lose. But, the players are also the ones who gain all the experience, find the challenge, and enjoy victory and enthusiasm. The spectators, on the other hand, are just observers, they applaud for the winner but never experience victory themselves; they may avoid failure, but never learn from the experience and never transcend their souls. They just watch. With time, they grow older but never wiser.

Here's a little, yet valuable, help to ignite our motivation for the new year, Ghurair and Neriska, two friends of mine are presenting a seminar on the 4th of February about achieving goals and success, about how to live on purpose. You can find more details on their website: http://www.successbypurpose.com/fundamentals-achievers/overview

Have a great week and a successful, purposeful, amazing Year!!!

Kitchen pharmacy is a new workshop I'll be delivering at MeVeg Conference on the 5th of December.

Can we really prepare our simple cures in our kitchens? Why do we need home preparation? And are they really effective?
  In this workshop we will discuss the benefits of home-made preparations; you will be introduced to simple formulas for dealing with common ailments using simple ingredients available in most of our kitchens. We will discuss our need to integrate more herbs and spices in our everyday life and what’s the difference between preparing them in our houses and swallowing them in capsules and pills? And most importantly, we will discuss why most of us underestimate the power of our kitchen herbs and how to make the most out of them.
  The topics we will tackle include:
  -          Cold and flu
  -          Digestive problems
  -          Heart and blood vessels
  -          Stress
  -          Aches and pains
  -          Nourishing your system

There are many other great workshops there too! Two of them I highly recommend:
-   Grow your own plants by Shumaila Ahmed, 
-   Gluten Free living by Abeda Oturkar

I am sure many others will also be great, I just personally attended with these two amazing ladies and learnt so much.
