" We have been involved with yoga and holistic health for much of our lives.  We have spent the past fourteen years (2006) building Moinhos Velhos up to its present state, and like everything in life, it keeps evolving. We have had great fun creating the concept, the buildings, the gardens - and sharing it all with so many beautiful guests over the years.

Bhanu lives in Stavanger in Norway with her husband Steve. We have known Bhanu for many years, during which time we have witnessed her extraordinary self development and the creation of her Emotional Kinesiology program, where she is a world leader today. She facilitates workshops in many different countries and has agreed to offer her program as an extra here at Moinhos Velhos at various times during 2007. The final dates are as yet to be decided, but the first should be during the February 25 to March 11 program. To find out more about her Emotional Kinesiology go to her web site:http://www.emotionalkinesiology.com/index.html

Bhanu writes:
In the past I was told over and over again that my problems were "just in my imagination" and that I was "overly sensitive". Although I used to see this as criticism, I now believe that sensitivity is one of the most important things in life for each of us as it leads to insight and the appreciation of the power of intuition.

Being absolutely honest with ourselves is very important. We are all so afraid of being honest, of saying (or even thinking) what we really feel  just in case we hurt someone or are criticized by them but we end up hurting ourselves. Instead of honesty, we play mind games pretending that we don't really know what is going on in our own minds and bodies. We give our power away to others and allow ourselves to be manipulated and then often start whining "nothing ever works for me, poor me".

I played these mind games every day for years but eventually I began working with them until I gained a deeper understanding of the thought patterns and beliefs involved. This understanding presented in a structured way (EK) has helped me to guide many others in releasing their own unwanted, negative thought patterns and beliefs thus leading them to more healthy, happy and fulfilled lives.
