Asa Hershoff
Asa is a writer, teacher, healer and visionary, who has spent a lifetime unravelling the secrets of human nature, and how to optimize our potential as human beings. Integrating ancient wisdom, East and West, with modern psychology, he created a system of personal change and transformation that is unique in its depth and effectiveness. Dubbed "The Human Code," it accurately describes the roadmap of the human psyche and offers a real solution to some dozen aspects of our personal and social life that are a source of pain and suffering for millions. In a field filed with clichés, false hopes and empty promises, here there is the real possibility of tapping into our core strengths and living our authentic life. www.thehumancode.net and www.5waysofpower.com

Gross National Happiness has evolved over four decades and is now looking for ways to integrate into the business community and workplace. The major factor of work dissatisfaction is the prevalence of workplace stress, with significant impact on health and mental wellbeing, performance, worker turnover, work engagement and so on. The development in the West of mindfulness training, and specifically MBSR, has created a secular, science-based and measurable system of meditation that has become immensely popular in the public eye, as well as in the workplace, where it has been adopted by small companies to major global corporations. While these can be implemented in Bhutan as is, this misses the unique contribution of Bhutan and its rich cultural heritage and Buddhist roots. Firstly, elements of GNH can be integrated into assessment and training methods, so that the criteria, parameters and full integrity of GNH is upheld and not diluted. Secondly, current forms of mindfulness adhere to a limited range of Buddhist experience, namely Theravadin, and to a lesser degree, Mahayana teachings. There is the possibility of integrating Vajrayana principles through a comprehensive set of 5-Element meditations, that have a tradition going back to the historical Buddha, but that today form the core of Himalayan Buddhism of Tibet, India, Nepal and Bhutan. These have been made accessible and easy to apply in a system of Elemental Mindfulness developed by the author. Using up to 25 different mindfulness meditations, these have the distinct advantage of interfacing directly with everyday psychology, to enhance positive qualities and eliminate dysfunctional or maladaptive states, while training in clam abiding itself. A pilot project is suggested wherein this modified form of mindful-based stress reduction can be assessed, and its innovative results shared with the global community.
