SELF AWARENESS RESEARCH INVITE : Would you like to be involved in the development of a new self-awareness measure. The measure is being developed by Despina Sfakinos, a PhD student in the Coaching Psychology Unit at the University of Sydney. It will eventually be used to investigate the relationship between leadership performance, personality and self-awareness.
At this stage Despina is testing the new measure. In order to do so she requires approximately 600 people to fill it in as well as 4 other short measures (Need for Metacognition Scale, Big-Six Personality Scale, Frieburg Mindfulness Scale, and Toronto Alexithymia Scale). All measures can be accessed on the one site and can be completed online via the link provided below:
https://www.psych.usyd.edu.au/limesurvey/index.php?sid=16842〈=en
Your responses would be completely anonymous and confidential and participation would only take approximately 30 minutes. Your participation would be greatly appreciated.
Please email Despina for further details regarding the study (despinas@psych.usyd.edu.au), which has been approved by the Ethics Committee at the University of Sydney.

Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a simple road to health and wellbeing. In health the body’s energy (Chi) flows in a natural rhythm. When the flow of this cycle is interrupted ill health results. Working with a deep connection through touch Shiatsu rebalances and harmonises this flow. Assessment is based on Chinese 5 Element theory and treatment incorporates pressure applied to the body following meridian (energy) lines.
Our Shiatsu practitioner has great results with:
• release of muscular tension, deep relaxation, better sleep patterns
• stress, anxiety, panic attacks, improved breathing patterns
• improved digestive function, relief from headaches and migraines
• Repetitive Strain Injury, lower back pain and sciatica
• Shiatsu is also ideal for Pregnancy
Pancha Tanmantra and Chi Gong
Pancha tanmantra (sanskrit for five elements) is a vigorous exercise system based on the five phase theory of Chinese philosophy. This shaolin martial art originates from the buddhist temple Pemuda Vihara Vimala Dharma in Bandung, Java, and is taught as an aid to health and meditation. Initially, the system entails a series of 12 movements which directly act upon the body’s meridians resulting in emotional and physical healing. At the end of the beginners training one can learn the physical meditative form called Mandala. We begin the class with Chi Gong practice-gentle flowing movements to tonify and wake the energy of the body.
Beginners’ classes are taught in Newtown at 5 Eliza St, nr Newtown train station.
Thursday 8am to 9.30am and Saturdays 9am to 11am
