New year newsletter from Tim Chalice
Dear Friends,
A very Happy New Year to you all! We’ve made it to 2012 and I wonder what this year will bring for us all? I hope that whatever your journey this year you will manifest all the peace, love, joy, nourishment, healing, beauty, laughter and transformation you desire and deserve. For myself, I am looking forward to expanding my chanting sessions this year into different directions and locations, and more immediately I am very excited about the recording of my new CD, Devotional Heart, to be released in the next few months. Recording is well under way with six very long tracks, combining meditative chants with more up-tempo ones, all created to take the listener deeper into devotion and silence. I will let you know, of course, when it is ready!
Last year I was sending separate newsletters for Bristol and Bath, but this no longer feels appropriate as I am no longer so fixed in my locations now, so I will just be sending one newsletter for 2012. At present I haven’t replaced the monthly Wednesday night slot at the Pierian Centre but I am on the lookout for a suitable venue. A new addition, however, will be chanting at Universal Yoga, in Camerton, south of Bath, on the third Friday of each month. I’ll also be involved in some Mums & Babies chanting sessions this year – more news to follow next month I hope. I will also be looking to offer more 1-1 sessions this year, so if you are interested in developing more authenticity and confidence in your voice, working with vocal practices, chanting or even harmonium lessons then please get in touch. I am delighted to say that we will continue to host Devamurti’s Pratyahara Techniques from the Tantras at the Light House on alternate Monday evenings. See below for further information. Finally, my wife Louise, for those of you don’t know her, will be offering more 1-1 healing, including Reiki Training, crystal healing, soul retrieval, regression and much more. She will also be re-instigating the monthly healing share on Wednesday 25th January. Please contact Louise at louisechalice@gmail.com for more information.
So, here are all the events for January. I hope to sing with you soon!

10 Bodies Yoga Workshop with Nicole Aarons
Sunday 03 July 2011, 10.30am – 1pm
Yoga Bodhi, Studio 1, 8a Bartlett Street, Bath BA1 2QZ
£25, pre-booking essential
If we think of ourselves only in terms of a physical body, or a physical body with a mind, we will limit our life experience. We can also seen ourselves as ten bodies: a physical body, three aspects of our mental body, and six levels of our pranic or energy body.
The 10 spiritual bodies is an Aquarian model of the manifestations of human existence. They represent the origin, essence and trajectory of our life experience. Unfortunately in our modern lives we tend not to be in touch with all aspects of ourselves, and if we do have access to our subtle story, we often we lack clarity in its interpretation. The applied study of the numerology of our 10 bodies and their expression is a path to reclaim ourselves and our truth. Numerology is the diagnostic framework that makes the 10 bodies model useful. Doctors use stethoscopes, we have to use numerology.
In this rare and empowering workshop, you will discover what you’ve been missing and get the chance to fine-tune your yoga practice towards awakening those parts of you that support your journey from where you are to who you are.
“If you understand that you are ten bodies, and you are aware of those ten bodies, and you keep them in balance, the whole universe will be in balance with you” – Yogi Bhajan.
Live from your SOUL
Understand your NEGATIVE MIND
Balance your POSITIVE MIND
Develop your NEUTRAL MIND
Strengthen your PHYSICAL BODY
Activate your ARCLINE
Expand your AURA
Awaken your PRANIC BODY
Tune in to your SUBTLE BODY
Shine with your RADIANT BODY
In this workshop we will practice Yoga to awaken the 10 bodies and be introduced to our unique 10-Body Constitution and how we can fine-tune our practice to strengthen our life path.

Chanting for Inner Peace with Tim Chalice
First, a message from Tim:
“Spring has truly Sprung since my last newsletter. In fact, Summer seems to have arrived today after I caught the sun taking the children to the playground today!
I have been doing some reflecting about the Bath chanting session at Still Point and have decided to change things around a little. Although I like Still Point I have decided to move venue to Yoga Bodhi. It feels more appropriate to have the session in a Yoga Studio with a more consistent flow through of people with similar interests – meditation, silence, union. Yoga and chanting have a lot in common and co-exist perfectly. I run a lovely evening at a yoga studio in Bristol and it has a wonderful acoustic and resonance so I am hoping for the same at Yoga Bodhi.
The other change is that this session will run on the 2nd Friday of each month. I know this will work for some of you and not others and I will be truly sorry if I lose some regulars but it is essentially the only available evening and I will just have to take that chance and hope you can all still make it.”
