1. Firstly, because the content will probably contain something (however small) that's unexpected and transformational for you. You might think you already know what you need to do to improve, and you just don't have the time or mental space to do it right now.
But what if your pre-conceptions, notions, ideas and beliefs about becoming more confident and fluent in English were only partially true?
Joining this Masterclass could offer new insight and understanding, and it could inspire new ideas that you can do and that you do have time for.

2. When was the last time you offered yourself a precious gift? A little story for you:
Many years ago I started attending a yoga class taught by an 82-year-old teacher. He was very slim and had a very deep voice, which he used sparsely during the 1.5-hour weekly lesson, focusing only on giving clear instructions for us to slowly move our body into the next pose, and remain there until the next instruction. The atmosphere in the spacious room quickly became filled with a kind of inner stillness, as we all focused and shifted our positions, fine-tuning the arms or legs, straightening our back, or adjusting the position of our head. It was challenging! At the end of the class, we lay on our backs to relax for a few delicious minutes, then sat back up to meditate feeling supple ([adj.] bending and moving easily and gracefully; flexible) for a few more minutes, and as we sat cross-legged just before the lesson ended, the teacher would ask us to bring our palms together and bow to ourselves in gratitude. "Be THANKFUL to yourself for having taken the time to practise today." This was the first time in my life that I had ever been asked to be grateful to myself for my own efforts, for something I had decided to do that was beneficial for me. This free, live Masterclass is a gift that you might some day be grateful to yourself for having taken the time to attend as well.

3. Listening practice. You'd be amazed at how much expectation is placed on making progress with English and being able to speak it confidently and fluently without ever (or hardly ever) listening to it.

Remember to register anyway if you think you might not be able to attend the live event, as the replay will be sent to everyone who registers.
See you there!

Discover the Benefits of Joining a Book Club in English

  The CET Book Club is starting soon! And what could be a better way of starting a Book Club in English -  for speakers of other languages at intermediate (B1) level or above -  than by reading the transformational gem,  The Art of Communicating , by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, live on zoom together? Very often, students and clients report that although they understand it very well, they feel stuck, anxious or unable to communicate in English satisfactorily, leading to a strong sense of loss of opportunity in their professional contexts. Part of the reason for this might be what I refer to as  undernourished English , that is, insufficient exposure to English through reading and listening.  The CET Book Club in English will address this directly by offering you the opportunity to develop your English language skills through the option of reading the corresponding chapter first, and then by following the transcript as you listen to one of us reading it out loud live during our weekly me

The MBA and the Eight Worldly Winds

  I completed the Inner MBA over the weekend!  Well done, me! ⭐️ But wait! Don't go. Before clicking "Like" and moving on, read about how earning this Certificate is interconnected with The Eight Worldly Winds . What are The Eight Worldly Winds? According to Buddhist teachings, our human nature necessarily means that we will all experience, at one time or another, being " blown about " (that's deeply affected in the moment) by the Eight Worldly Winds (or Conditions): gain and loss status and disgrace (or success and failure) praise and censure (or praise and blame) pleasure and pain This is great news when the Winds brings gain, status/success, praise and pleasure, but not so good when they carry loss, disgrace/failure, censure/blame, or pain. We all try to find ways of reducing our distress when the winds of the world bring devastating storms of suffering to our doorstep. It is our natural instinct to protect ourselves from the pain of the four (unpleasant

La meditación - preguntas y respuestas

Image
La intención es que este blog sea el producto de una colaboración entre ustedes y yo – nosotros J - por lo que se me ocurren 5 preguntas que podrían surgir en relación a la práctica y a mi, la autora, las cuales trataré de contestar lo mejor que pueda, pero además me encantaría que en los comentarios agregues tus preguntas, e igualmente, trataré de contestarlas, y si quieres agregar algo o expresar alguna idea adicional, por favor hazlo: te escucho J ¿Cómo funciona y para qué sirve la meditación? Bueno, es importante aclarar que aunque hayan muchos beneficios, los practicantes no meditamos con ese fin, o sea que al sentarnos no hay una meta por alcanzar, sino que nos sentamos porque disfrutamos de hacerlo. Simple y sencillamente, meditamos porque nos gusta. Lo cual no significa que no resulten importantes beneficios . Al contrario, la práctica de la meditación es transformadora , y los cambios que produce son múltiples y de gran profundidad - científicamente compr
