TOOLKIT FOR CALM - Free meditation classes
A three-evening free course on creating a peaceful life….
With special New York-based guest presenter and teacher Boijayanti, sharing her meditation skills and insights during her short NZ visit.
For most people the mind has become the master, not the servant it should be – how do we regain control, cultivate a quiet and peaceful mind, a stillness in the body and the breath?
These informal and informative evenings will help with answers, covering the simple but often overlooked essentials of meditation and sharing a toolkit of techniques you can practice and explore. Our guest presenter Boijayanti is a longtime practitioner of meditation and was fortunate to have the guidance of the late Indian spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy (www.srichinmoy.org) – she shares these inspirational teachings with humour and simplicity.
Usher in the New Year with positive new life skills, clarity of purpose, a peaceful mind and heart – you only need the sincerity to make a start.
When: Tuesdays / Thursdays, February 11, 13, 18: 7:30pm – 9pm nightly
Venue: The Fickling Centre, 546 Mt Albert Road, Three Kings, Mt Eden.
Free admission, however registration is required to accommodate numbers attending. Please register by confirming your details to Jogyata on Whatsapp to: 0221887432
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???
“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.
On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.
[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.
Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.
Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
