Fund Raising for Outreach Projects
Posted on Tue, 31 December 2013
We have been spending sometime over the last 3 weeks running various events in order to raise some money for a couple of different Outreach Groups. The Primary one that will be re-started in the next month is The Teenage Breath4LifeTM Breath Work which works with the young people to help, support and educate them in dealing with suppressed emotions and acting out damaging and self-destructive behaviour. The Pilot Group for teenagers was run last year was very successful, however after some thought it was broadened to encompass all young people (with necessary parental permission) and we feel that it is important to go on supporting this group and growing it so that we are able to increase the number of young people we reach.
So here is a short write up of each event.

Distinguishing Mentor Coaching and Coaching Supervision
Posted on Tue, 29 October 2013
By Samuel P. Magill Sr., MCC, MBA
This article describes key differences between mentor coaching and coaching supervision with the aim of helping coaches and organization buyers of coaching distinguish between these two important functions. If coaching is to become a fully developed helping profession, both will be necessary. They are not, however, synonyms for the same work.
Similarities between mentor coaching and coaching supervision – a source of confusion
Mentoring and supervising are adjuncts to the development of capable coaches and they share many skills and attributes. They both:
Depend on powerful relationships with clients.
Require experience and maturity from the person offering the service.
Support the coach in becoming a better coach.
Offer reflective questions and exploration of issues.

Discernment vs. Judgement
Posted on Mon, 7 October 2013
“The practice of discernment is part of higher consciousness. Discernment is not just a step up from judgement. In life’s curriculum it is the opposite of judgment. Through judgement, a man reveals what he still needs to confront and learn. Through discernment, he reveals what he has mastered.”
“Man’s original sin was judgement. That is the only sin which a pure and innocent soul can commit. The immediate, inevitable, and unavoidable consequence of judgment is separation from the object of your judgment and from God… Judgments have a way of expanding and multiplying until separation from God becomes a real and monumental problem.”

A Time of Awakening
Posted on Mon, 7 October 2013
The world has now come fully into the information age. There is now so much information that even with the fastest computers, it is difficult to keep up. Along with this tremendous expansion, it seems, simultaneously, that the world is shrinking. Everyday we watch as events occurring on the other side of our planet appear live on the television screens in our living rooms and begin to feel more akin to one another than in times past. I will never forget coming home for lunch on September 11th 2001. I made some lunch and sat down to watch the news, after the news had finished I left the TV on for the usual programming, which I don’t usually do. The programme was interrupted for a news flash and my instant thought was that the Queen Mother had died; I sat horrified as the pictures of the first aircraft flew into the twin towers of the world trade building in New York showed on the...Read More

The Hidden Truths in the Bhagavad Gita
Posted on Mon, 29 July 2013
Excerpts from Paramahansa Yogananda's highly acclaimed two-volume commentary on the Bhagavad Gita:
God Talks With Arjuna—The Bhagavad Gita: Royal Science of God-RealizationThe Bhagavad Gita: A Universal Scripture
The timeless and universal message of the Gita is all-encompassing in its expression of truth.
Bhagavad Gita means "Song of the Spirit," the divine communion of truth-realization between man and his Creator, the teachings of Spirit through the soul, that should be sung unceasingly…. The underlying essential truths of all great world scriptures can find common amity in the infinite wisdom of the Gita's mere 700 concise verses.
The entire knowledge of the cosmos is packed into the Gita. Supremely profound, yet couched in revelatory language of solacing beauty and simplicity, the Gita has been understood and applied on all levels of...Read More
