Creating Happiness Intentionally Seminar

This Seminar is about determining and working towards your Life's Purpose Now. By doing this you will bring about true Balance and Harmony in your life, true happiness, whilst you strive towards your goals. Often many of life's challenges are in the way and need to be resolved when working towards your Life's Purpose. This seminar will show you how to do it and have fun too.

For those who have done the 2 day Life Skills Seminar then this seminar is a 4 day "live in" seminar commencing at 5.30 pm on the first day. For those who have not done the Calm Life Skills seminar then this seminar is a 5 day/4 night "live in" seminar commencing at 11 am on the first day. I still recommend to potential attendees of the CHI Seminar that doing the 2 day Life Skills Seminar is a preferred first step. The Life Skills seminar  can be done by physically attending or by DVD.


A Letter from Sandy

Hullo,

The Seminar "Creating Happiness Intentionally"

This seminar is a four-day live-in experience. You will be thoroughly spoiled with full catering, in such a wonderful way that you'll never want to leave.

The main purpose of the seminar can be summarised by what one of the participants, Lorna Stewart, said:

      "I gave myself the gift of four days with Sandy, away from my normal routine. Four days with a wonderful group of loving, positive and supportive people, at a haven in which to go deeply within and discover my Life's Purpose Now, and to come up with the goals and values that will support that 
purpose.
      "I always had an idea of what my life was about, but nothing concrete. I certainly didn't have a map that I could follow, so I spent quite a bit of time traveling down some dead ends. Now I'm powerfully and absolutely on track – and loving it."

When I talk to the people that I meet who are truly happy, many of them tell me that their happiness is not just an accident, but that they actively work for it. Most of them use the skills we learnt in the CALM Life Skills Seminar – they are able to relax easily and quickly, they set goals, they talk positively to themselves, and they regularly do some sort of meditation.

Above all they know the purpose involved of their lives – they have a clear vision of why they are alive and where they are going in life. They have goals in different areas so that their lives are balanced, and their values actively support these goals.

The essence of the CHI Seminar is about really getting on track with your life so that you can actually live your dreams – using the powerful CALM mind techniques to discover the main purpose of your life, to decide on goals that support you in all areas of your life, and to make sure that your values, the things that drive you, truly support those goals. This knowledge is a potent force that will lead you towards the life you desire.

The CHI Seminar is an inspiring and exciting life adventure. Can you imagine being able to talk about anything you wish, in the safe and supportive company of like-minded people, and know that you are in the presence of love and true acceptance? CHI attracts ordinary people like you and me who are dedicated to 
living an extraordinary life. Previous participants have gained really wonderful insights into themselves and their lives, and the group energy and friendship that is developed is incredibly powerful. I know that the seminar will help you to totally take control of your life – to create your happiness intentionally.

I really love facilitating the CHI Seminar. I am truly blessed to be a part of the amazing growth and personal break-throughs that occur.

See you there.

All the best,

Sandy MacGregor

P.S.
  1. I have included all the relevant information for the CHI Seminar below and last of all, an extract from my book "Switch On to Your Inner Strength" book, which leads one into knowing that we need to look for something more.

CHI Seminar Outline

4-DAY LIVE-IN SEMINAR (maximum 20 participants)

So what's it about?
  • It's about who you are, why you are here and your life's journey.
  • It's about compelling goals that lead to a balanced life.
  • To get on track with a happy and successful life, an integral part is
  • Discovering Your Life's Purpose Now.

Why do I say "Discovering your life's purpose now?" I believe that our life's purpose can evolve and change as our own awareness grows. I know mine has changed as I've changed. In addition I reckon that we can work towards a life's purpose now, and towards a spiritual purpose. I guess for some they could be the same, and the two purposes would probably need to be mutually supporting or aligned, or congruent.

The outcomes of the seminar are:

  1. To know your life's purpose now
  2. To clear any issues that may block you from having exactly what you want
  3. To know your life's purpose now
  4. To create multiple and compelling goals with great WIIFMs that support your purpose
  5. To know your life's purpose now
  6. To ensure that all your values support your goals and to deal with any conflicts
  7. To know your life's purpose now
  8. To have an action plan for achieving your dreams and having exactly what you want
  9. To know your life's purpose now
  10. To know what your next steps are to be
  11. To know your life's purpose now
  12. To be part of a supportive network of loving and positive friends
  13. To know your life's purpose now

We'll be using a number of processes, including:

  1. Experiencing what you want
  2. Meditation
  3. Questions – eg. What do you deserve?
  4. Creativity
  5. Handling fears and blocks
  6. Games 
  7. Looking for Keys to Goals
  8. Discussion
  9. Conscious goal analysis
  10. Reflection
  11. Goals from subconscious mind
  12. Goal book
  13. Changing unsupportive goals
  14. Five-year (or more) action plan
  15. Changing unsupportive values
  16. Immediate actions

Don't wait for your ship to come in … swim out to it!


The Following Questionnaire Is Designed For You To Work Through In Order To Determine Whether The Chi Seminar Could Be Of Value To You.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step(s)…

Step 1 Please take a moment to think about your life as it is NOW:

Are you totally content - totally happy?
Do you start each day with expectancy and enthusiasm?
Does each day end with a sense of accomplishment?
Have you friends with whom you can talk honestly and feel totally safe and accepted?
Can you imagine where you will be in 5 or 10 years time?

Step 2 To achieve your dreams, do you need more:

  

Step 3 Successful people have multiple goals, which are balanced across several areas. They are also compelling because they have great WIIFMs.

In which of the following areas do you not have goals or great WIIFMs?:
  

Are you ever frustrated by an inability to achieve your goals?

Step 4 There are many things that stop us from having exactly what we want. They include anger, fear, lack of time, lack of money, doubt, low self esteem, health and procrastination.

Do any of the above affect you?

Step 5 Blocks are caused by goals and values not supporting each other. It is important to identify the source of the conflict so that it can be addressed. 
  • Can you clearly identify your values?
  • Can you identify conflicting values and goals?
  • Do you know how to change them so that they really support each other?
  • Do you know why you are here on Planet Earth?

Step 6 Are there any areas of your life you would like to resolve and master? All blocks and concerns can be addressed in the CHI Seminar.

Remember …

Happiness comes from the journey towards your Goal


What People Have Said about the CHI Seminar

"I feel just wonderful. Sandy, your ability to be yourself, your encouragement in so many ways and your advice were so much appreciated, as was the spontaneous encouragement from the group. The activities were so well aimed and enjoyable, whilst opening up many powerful gates for me. My advice to anyone is just to do it – you'll be a new and wonderful person!"
"If you think CALM was good, multiply it by 100 and you have CHI - the next logical step in applying CALM power within your life. If you don't need it, it's because you have already done it!"
I received clarity, using the subconscious mind. The seminar flowed smoothly with one "topic" flowing on from the other. Each section built on the previous one. I thoroughly enjoyed it with much personal growth and the tools to continue to grow taken with me. Thank you. Barbara W. SA.
What a wonderful opportunity it was to take four glorious days in a beautiful, nurturing and safe environment to ask those important questions. Yep, I'm talking the biggies. Who am I? Where do I fit in? What is my purpose in life? How do I fulfill that purpose? …to name just a few. Yet, not just ASK those questions but be guided by a creative, well designed and prepared programme to receive ANSWERS.
I felt privileged to be one of the participants in this truly exceptional seminar.
After attending CALM I wanted to explore further and took the opportunity to attend CHI. It was nothing short of life changing and I am now the person I pretended to be. I have a new sense of trust and confidence in myself and the future. My energy level has dramatically increased as I live each day with a renewed vitality and sense of purpose.
Not only do I see the big picture clearly but now have a wonderful array of practical resources to prioritise, make decisions and deal with everyday problems. These benefits have flowed through to my husband, children, family and friends. AMAZING!
The CHI seminar was absolutely worth the time and money. It was inexpensive compared to benefits I received, especially when you consider it has been six months since I completed CHI. The glow has not dimmed, I have not forgotten or fallen back into old ways but am going from strength to strength. I just look forward to CHI-2. Vivienne R. NSW.
Thank you for a worthwhile absorbing experience. The range and quality of activities was excellent – the learning I gained from you and from the other members will stay with me for the rest of my life. There was a good balance of activities between listening and doing – the exercises were well structured building in a logical sequence toward our ultimate aim, ie. the expression of our Life Purpose. All in all a well structured and worthwhile experience. Mary B. Tas.
Thank you for helping me face my fears and being able to speak about it. To know I am OK! Your giving and loving brought the same out of a very special group of people and was such a moving experience for me. Wow! So many tools for clarifying and finding one's goals. It is so exciting to see everyone realise their goals. On the last few days so much laughter indicated the created happiness which existed. The honesty and trust were profound. Thank you. Sally M. Vic.
Thank you for the CHI Seminar – it was wonderful meeting such a diverse group of people and watching them develop during the five days. I was extremely impressed with the professional way you ran the course – you have obviously put a lot of time, thought and practice into the preparation of the seminar. The progression of activities leading us through different ways of identifying our goals and Life's Purpose. Thank you again for sharing your experience and knowledge. Cynon L. Qld.
This was my second time around – the last in November 97. I have already put the next one in my 2001 agenda. The power, purpose and practicality of the course ensures that no stone is unturned in charting your future goals and consequently happiness. As a wordsmith, the only word I could think of at the end of the last CHI Course was "Thank You". Unfortunately either my vocabulary has not improved or the English language has not expanded to the point to another all encompassing word. So Sandy, "Thank You". Alex C. NSW.
The CHI Seminar was a four day retreat - a great break away from my normal routine that allowed me the opportunity to really clarify some areas of my life. I had known that I was basically going in the right direction but this became a more purposeful direction and my perceptions became clearer. The lens of the camera – my lens on the world - became that much more precise and in focus. CHI has given me a greater sense of balance in my life because I was able to identify several short term priorities to gain that balance. I also clarified some of my values and came up with some goals that are in harmony with those values. As well as this, I have sensed a spiritual growth since CHI. In the past I have consciously selected certain areas of my life to work with, and overlooked other areas. For example, I had downgraded the material things in my life. Now I'm working more in that area and things have changed - I have had more work, which in turn has led to more money coming to me.
I think before I have been a bit of a spiritual snob! I thought that spiritual people didn't think about money. Now I'm aware that truly spiritual people acknowledge and concern themselves with all aspects of living that their goals (outside behaviour) and values (inner beliefs) are in harmony, and above all they are balanced. Bruce W. NSW.
I'm a pretty practical person and I always set out to do things well and get them done. So I had a pretty good tool set to start with - Sandy's CALM techniques made it even easier. Doing CHI reinforced what I was already doing and took it all to a deeper level.
The four days really clarified the direction I'd already set upon and what I was doing. My intention and purpose were strengthened.
I enjoyed all the techniques that Sandy used, particularly the creativity and visualisation of where we were going. On a purely personal note, I also enjoyed the people. It was great to spend four days getting to know them, and to have the opportunity to chat with them on a fairly intimate level. And the setting was excellent - worth coming all the way from Canberra!
The major benefit to me was that my goals were set much more firmly in my mind, and my life's path was strengthened and reinforced.
I have a set of tools that I can use every day - they're not mumbo jumbo, hocus pocus techniques, they're down to earth and practical. Practicality is the essence for me - it allows you to get on with living life. Even if things get out of hand at the office, for instance, I can use these techniques, shed the rubbish and deal with the situation. Life is for living! Douglas F. Canberra
The CHI Seminar is everything you said it would be. And much more! The structure was expertly developed, the facilitation professional, skilled, respectful and empowering, and the process inspirational and enlightening. All the outcomes were visibly achieved for myself and everyone present.
Bringing the concept of "Discovering your life's purpose now" into reality was one of the most exciting, pleasurable, satisfying, fun journeys I've ever undertaken. The energy that is generated through this seminar is extraordinary!
I cannot speak highly enough of your excellent facilitation skills and respect for each participant. It ensures that each person accesses their own wisdom and finds within themselves their "Life's Purpose Now". It's both spiritual and practical, and achievable.
Fond regards, Shirley P. Tasmania

Quote from "Switch On to Your Inner Strength"

This is a good opportunity to attempt to answer the question I posed in Chapter 12 regarding "Where does Edison's information come from during meditation?" I guess none of us really know the answer. With all things being interconnected extending into thought form we can tap Universal Intelligence. You've heard of telepathy no doubt. What about "willing" someone to contact you or that you have been thinking of someone and then out of the blue they contact you. I believe thoughts are things. Indeed the world has often wondered how it can be that simultaneous, independent, new inventions occur at different parts of the world. When Edison, in meditation, was asking for the next step in inventing the light bulb he got his answer not from within him (he didn't know the answer) but from what I believe is Universal Intelligence. This is the power in creativity - to tap Universal Intelligence or The Mind of God.

Now let me take the idea even one step further. And the point I am going to make is made strongly in Father Justin Belitz's book. It is also one of the philosophical underpinnings of the ancient Chinese study of Chi. The concept is this: in order to be happy there comes a point where your pursuit of your life's purpose needs to be merged with the life's purpose that God has assigned to you. To work against God's purpose is to lead to frustration, angst and disharmony. To bring your goals in line with God's goals is the thing that will bring you harmony and inner peace. It is an objective of spiritual meditation. It may well be the most important thing you ever do in your life. This will give you the highest form of fulfilment.

In Justin Belitz's book "Success:Full Living" he observes:

"In the Old Testament, Abraham was told by God to build a nation. Because he got busy doing God's plan, he was able to experience success."

Even in the New Testament Jesus said, "I came to do the will of my heavenly Father." He knew what the goal was and spent his life moving towards and achieving that goal.

One recommended way to align our life's purpose with God's purpose is to use meditation, spiritual meditation. It is a way we can set our course in the first place and then it is the way we can continually check that we are "on course".

Back to the question, "What about your life's journey?" It is so easy to get on a treadmill somewhere along the line in a business or profession and end up, some years later, in a rut. Apparently successful, but nonetheless, a spiritual rut. This need not remain the case and the good news is that the solution lies entirely in your hands, or, more correctly speaking, in your mind. I commend the Peaceful Place methods of relaxation and meditation to you to start on some serious spiritual thinking.

I'll ask the question again: "Where to from here?" As you've read, this book is all about empowering you to direct your own life and use your inner strength. I have a few suggestions to make regarding your onward journey:

  • It's very important for you to use your inner strength in a deliberate manner rather than by accident
  • It's very important to develop a routine of daily meditation
  • It's important to be clear about "what is your life's purpose now" and what goals you need to achieve to fulfil this purpose
  • It's very important that you clearly identify your values and, having done this, to make sure that your values support your goals
  • If in this whole process of meditation you find that there is a conflict between your life's purpose now, your goals and your values, then you must be prepared to change one of these to bring them into alignment. For example, you may have a view of money as "easy come easy go", or "money is the root of all evil", and yet your goal may well be to have an expensive waterfront house. Something's got to change!
  • It is important to establish a hierarchy of purpose. It would seem to me that discovering your life's purpose now is at the top of the hierarchy. Goals and values are the ways in which you pursue your purpose. They must all be pointed in the same direction.
