About Shunyata and ParuParu was personally trained by Brandon in the first ever Australasian workshop in 2002 and was Instrumental in bringing Brandon Bays to New Zealand. I always knew this work would be better performed in a retreat type setting so went on to open Shunyata in 2005. My specialty in this work is to work alongside with The Enneagram, patterns that keep us in suffering and simply guide you through a simple meditation to go back to the core of an issue and clear it out cellularly. The mind goes quiet, the soul comes forth and years of baggage melts and this feeling of “nothing matters” takes over. The story of a lifetime is dropped and freedom reigns. I feel so truly humble and grateful to watch people find their god like selves.

"Transformation, it’s a choice! Be the change you wish to see in the world!"

The Enneagram – the true path to Liberation

The Benefits of Awareness of the Enneagram

• Identify unconscious patterns that trigger reactions and drive one's life.
• Observe the patterns internally.
•  Best tool to wake up in this life
• Cope with issues and reduce suffering.
• Improve personal, family and work relationships.
• Become a happier, more effective person.
• Discover latent talents and abilities which speak to one's purpose.

Everyone wants to be happy. This gateway to liberation is in everyone, it's the fulfillment of our human potential to pass through this gateway. In this day and time it is imperative that we all awaken to our true potential. Our hearts yearn to know who we are and why we are here. Human beings have nine basic ways of suffering. Every human being has a painful limitation or distortion at the core of their being – at least until they've made conscious effort to evolve out of that core. In many excellent spiritual teachings personality is the name given to the false self. Personality implies deficiency. The good news is that the core of each of the nine personality types is a beautiful truth; real and lasting; what an earth-bound human can become. The Enneagram is the consummate tool for self-discovery. The ego types or enneagram are patterns that run you, they cause you continuous Suffering. They continually play out over your life until you have had enough.
Do you want to grow old or grow up?The flavour can vary from

• not speaking your truth for fear of hurting another, feeling numb
• not feeling special enough therefore playing unique and dramatic
• needy for love and never really getting it and feeling proud, guilty and powerless
• fuelled by fear and therefore overtaken by rage when feeling out of control
• Mistrusting of everyone around you

About Shunyata and Paru
I have discovered this tool to be the core ingredient in a persons true healing. I am so truly grateful for the freedom I now feel from bringing awareness to these patterns and being free, and from this freedom can help others with compassion We are all different and The Enneagram gives you the compassion to understand another who is not like you. I use this tool combined with The Journey for immediate results.
May all beings be free and happy!

AYURVEDA – The Science of Life and Longevity

Panchakarma, the method of purifying that is associated with Ayurveda. It can purify, revive, and rejuvenate individuals to their natural condition of health. Patients can once again feel well and happy. Panchakarma removes negative feelings and restores equilibrium to those struggling with its adverse results
Benefits of Panchakarma

• It restores your constitutional harmony thereby improving health and wellness.
• It flushes out toxins from your body
• It neutralises the negative effects of stress and retards the aging process.
• It strengthens the immune system and builds a resilient you
• It relaxes you and keeps you calm
• It improves your health, boosts your energy levels and gives you a clear mind.
• Helps you in times of menopause

Panchakarma should not be performed while menstruating.
Ayurveda is over 5 thousand years old. It's therapies have been tested by thousands of doctors on millions on patients and it's theories have stood the test of time. This holistic healing helps in the riddance of impurities from the body restoring harmony, deleting negativity and substituting with a more optimistic disposition, increased mental, physical and emotional well-being, and an enhanced sense of self worth. According to Ayurvedic wisdom, when the body grows invaded by toxicity and we begin to go through such things as fury, hatred, or loathing, we tumble out of balance. As a side-effect, sickness or disease often ensues.

Why Shunyata?
Part of the panchakarma process is the importance of peace and quiet and the ability to partake in Yoga and meditation and peaceful environment. Shunyata can also deal With emotional issues that might come up when defences are broken down which other retreats do not do. Also have an amazing weight loss programme to continue with, after losing 3-5kg with the detox. New to Shunyata is Indian Ayurvedic Dr for consult. 1 1/2 hrs $150

About Paru’s Experiences with Ayurveda
I have been travelling to India for 12 years now and each time my panchakarma cleansing I did in Pune left me in a state of balance and health beyond anything I had ever tried. This time I decided to take it further and cleansed for 24 days with different doctors and then studied in Jaipur with some amazing lecturers from the Ayurveda University and learnt one on one ,the treatments which I am very excited to share. What came to mind in India is, how lucky I am to have a peaceful beautiful healing environment free of noise to conduct panchakarma which is crucial in the cleansing process far from city noise and pollution. The first step to really balancing your constitution is cleansing and treatments, then you can follow on with diet and changes to your lifestyle according to your constitution.

Body Type Analysis
According to Ayurveda, every person has a unique constition and his or her physical, mental and emotional characteristics are decided by this constitution. A person can plan a diet and general lifestyle according to the constitution. By understanding this we can know thyself and develop compassion towards self in our lives. Determining an individual's prakruti or body type is the first step for subsequent treatment and therapies. All three doshas are present in everyone but one or two are predominant.

Why Shunyata?
Come detox and lose 3-6kg in a week the healthy way while cleansing the body of toxins and feel so good that you are inspired to start a programme that will keep your weight down for life. Amazing and true and integrity is what I stand in.

About Paru
Food was always my drug of choice when my parents broke up at 12, so my life experiences with eating disorders have put me in a good place to help you. I went to an ashram in India where I learnt to love my body truly, did some deep therapy to clear the need for the addiction and slowly began to be able to eat normally.

At least 80% of woman have some unhealthy relationship towards food so with Ayurveda, NLP, The Journey, Ozone Sauna (burns 600 calories) and Yoga and Meditation, we will get to the core and set you free to eat healthily and nourishingly to fuel the body for daily life.

I had my weight going great until menopause and then really believed that I had to accept 10kg weight gain until I recently discovered an amazing healthy eating plan that banishes abnormal fat cells. I lost 8kg and have been able to eat with joy and nautiness (I am a true foodie) and not put on 1 kg. I love food (some of us are true foodies) and therefore transfer that love into the food, so you will learn how to truly embrace healthy eating that energises you with naughty treats that open you. We truly are what we eat but don’t need to be fantatic.

Of course weight loss cannot be truly achieved without exercise and some of us need inspiration and a little push so that is why you need to come to Shunyata to be pushed a little with gorgeous walks and talks and true fun yoga.

Body Work

Cranio-sacralIt is a very subtle and soft but profoundly effective body therapy that combines scientific techniques with intuition and sensibility in a space of conscious meditation. The therapist tunes into the natural wave-like motion of the cranio-sacral rhythm with a very gentle touch, re-establishing freedom of movement. It reconnects your body with its natural ability to heal itself. With the specific touch, restrictions and tensions in the soft tissues and bones loosen, pains melt away. The awareness, relaxation and sense of wellbeing that results from this therapy goes very deep, emotions change and moods lighten. Balancing the craniosacral system helps you to reconnect to your inner self, your inner essence, where the body can heal itself. Many women are shut down around the hips and pelvis, by working with the sacram energy starts to flow again, we then move the restrictions round the heart and finally let go of neck and shoulder tension. MassageEveryone loves a good massage. I combine various massage styles to ease tension and knots in the body, then totally relax the body before going into sublime cranio-sacral. Livening up your feet with peppermint, and using the right aromatherapy oil to truly relax or enliven you on that day. The massage is tailored to you - what your body needs. Deep tension release in the shoulders with linament and ayurvedic marma point relaxation therapy. Massage is more effective after an ozone sauna or hydrotherapy bath so you are totally relaxed Ayurvedic Treatments
Abhyanga The special ayurvedic hot oil massage with special oils based on your body type. This is combined with marma point therapy (special points of energy meridians like prana points in body).

UdvartanumThis ancient herbal powder based massage deeply exfoliates and helps with cellulite, water retention and weight loss. The skin feels toned and tightened, followed by steam.

Yoga/Meditation The Way of Balancing Everyday Life

Benefits of Yoga

• The ultimate calmer for type A personalities
• It helps with posture and the way you walk and stand in life
• It is crucial in a detox for cleansing toxins, twisting them out
• Increasing flexibility
• Increasing lubrication of joints, ligaments and tendons
• Massaging of all organs and toning of all muscles
• Lowering of blood pressure and helping endocrine function normalize
• Energy level increases, sleep improves, weight normalizes
• Balance improves, pain decreases and immunity increases
• Respiratory efficiency increases and strength of body increases

Why Yoga and Shunyata
Most classes are very intimidating, especially if you are overweight and feel uncomfortable, and are very large with no one on one attention. Here at Shunyata, it is very much about your level and to push beyond that by being stretched one on one, corrected and opened with a combination of Iyengar and feminine Opening and as the days progress your flexibility and sore shoulders disappear. True nourishment of body, mind and soul.
I started doing yoga in Byron Bay 20 years ago, the yoga capital of Australasia, And after not being corrected very much finally took off with a bunch of amazing teachers to do an intensive training course in Pune, India in Iyengar with one of the top teachers who worked alongside Iyengar's daughter and the only one to have a yoga book under written by the Indian government. I am so grateful today to have had this spiritual teaching, more than just asanas. The whole background and balance of yoga in daily life, and I often think of this teacher and feel such love. Thank You Dharma Veer for being a true teacher who believed in me to help people to take up yoga in life even if I wasn’t the most flexible of students. My body feels strong and now I can go into older age free of aching joints and walking tall in a gorgeous upright posture open to the world.

MEDITATION – the way to Inner Peace
Benefits...

• It lowers oxygen consumption and decreases respiratory rate
• It increases blood flow and slows the heart rate
• Leads to a deeper level of relaxation
• Reduces anxiety and brings blood pressure to normal
• Increases serotonin production, helping with depression and self confidence
• Enhances the immune system and proven to help with cancer and illnesses
• Reduces emotional distress and helps in chronic diseases like allergies, arthritis etc

Many people feel they can’t meditate. My master said the western mind found it hard to sit so I started with active meditations. Dynamic in the morning, kundalini shaking In the afternoon and then went on to do many dance meditations.
Here at Shunyata, most evenings we will sit with a beautiful guided meditation that truly teaches the mind to be still. But maybe we need to dance before, maybe you need to let go of all that stuck energy in the body and do dynamic – whatever the need is for you we will address.
But there is nothing more peaceful and nourishing than sitting with the birdsong as the sun melts on the mountain behind, Paru cooking a delicious feast in the kitchen as you come to a blissful stillness after a day of true opening..

DANCING AND OPENING TO LOVE

Paru has been dancing most of her life but has used dance as a therapy for moving energy, through various
workshops in India and biodanza in Europe and Brazil.  Lets get the joy and the endorphins flowing and let
go - come to the true bliss of your being.
These workshops are run every few months here in beautiful Diamond Harbour. We will dance on the beach and in different places with most of the sharing work done in Shunyata. Great to combine group with retreat. Group can be done live in or just come by day, but enquire early as accommodation is limited.
Traditionally in times past and in cultures all over the world it was commonly understood that there is a great power and wisdom amongst women and that women gathered together to empower, teach and celebrate one another in the radiance of the divine light.
Love is wanting to open your heart right now! Come dance the ecstatic pleasure of being in the feminine body. Imagine fully offering your love and truth of your heart feelings as you move through the world.

I invite you to come and dance these feelings authentically through your own body and help to:

• Release the stress and body tensions.
• Ignite your joy and passion for life.
• Open to share your essence.
• Open yourself to the receptivity of the rhythm of music.
• Connect with your body and open like a flower
  

This workshop emphasis experiencing love through the body. Connecting to our deepest longings and offering a radiance and love Light to the world. Rediscover the ancient mysteries of devotional love, sacred sexuality and feminine creative expression. We will discover an incredible power and beauty through dance. The natural radiance of each woman becomes obvious and available.
The dance is an expression of sexuality, sensuality, pleasure of one's body, aliveness, vitality and transcendence of ego.

Fall in love with woman.
Fall in love with yourself.
The workshop runs Friday night to Sunday night - free dancing, playing, eating gourmet delights and nurturing each other in a safe and loving environment. The feminine grows with praise so loving feedback from women helps an opening, a trusting, when you open to your essence you show radiance. You are unique and the world is starved of loving feminine energy. We need you to open.

• Are you a woman who gives too much and are exhausted from giving?
• Are you a woman who is hard on herself, therefore hard on others?
• Are you a woman who can't stop doing and just needs to be?
• Are you a woman who has issues with other woman?
• Do you hate your body and really want to love it?
• Are you scared to be in a group of other woman?
• Are you scared to be in a group of other woman?

I will be running from time to time yoga workshops with top yoga teachers from Byron Bay. Please email me if you would like to be on my mailing list.
