Aum Vajra Akshobhya Hum ...

Akshobhya is the embodiment of 'mirror knowledge' (Sanskrit: ādarśa-jñāna; refer Panchajnana). A knowledge of what is real, and what is illusion, or a mere reflection of actual reality. The mirror is mind itself - clear like the sky, empty yet luminous. Holding all the images of space and time, yet untouched by them. He represents the eternal mind, and the Vajra family is connected with reason and intellect. Its brilliance illuminates the darkness of ignorance, its sharpness cuts through confusion.
The Vajra family, to which Akshobhya belongs, is associated with the element of water. This is why the two colours of Vajra are blue or white. Bright white like sun reflecting off water, and blue, like the depths of the ocean. Even if the surface of the ocean is blown into crashing waves, the depths remain undisturbed, imperturbable. And though water may seem ethereal and weightless, in truth it is extremely heavy. Water flows into the lowest place and settles there. It carves through solid rock, but calmly, without violence. When frozen, it is hard, sharp, and clear like the intellect, but to reach its full potential, it must also be fluid and adaptable like a flowing river. These are all the essential qualities of Akshobhya.
Many wrathful tantric beings are represented as blue in colour because they embody the transmuted energy of hatred and aggression, into wisdom and enlightenment.

Aum Vajra

Relationship expert and coach, Jan Day brings extraordinary warmth and compassion to her work. To her coaching clients. To her workshops on intimacy, sexuality and healing the inner you. To her one-day dating workshop where she enables participants to gently explore what they would like in their love relationships.

Central themes of Jan’s work are self-acceptance and self-forgiveness. Having trained for 15 years with Art of Being founder, Alan Lowen in Europe and Hawaii, as well as being a CTA certified coach, Jan has spent the last 15 years helping men and women learn to trust their own unique journeys and embrace their own wounds as well as their potential.

Her life and work have been influenced by a wide spectrum of eastern and western teachers including Osho, Jack Kornfield, David Deida, Ron Kurtz, Ken Wilber & Core Integral, Genpo Roshi, Ammachi, Anne Geraghty and many more.

Her work has evolved a distinct style known as "Jan Day Workshops", "School of Being" and "Living Tantra" and "Meetings without Masks".

Jan bring great joy to this endeavour of what it is to be human - all our vulnerabilities as well as our fun-loving traits – and encourages us to be everything, yes, everything that we are as human beings. She knows exactly how important it is, to be seen for everything that we are.

At the core of her work is her past experience. “I have been divorced and married,” she says. “I have known the darkness of depression, the despair of great loss and the joy of finding my way home again. Above all, I believe in the basic goodness of life and people. Sexual healing, self-acceptance, forgiveness and the all-embracing life acceptance of tantra have been and continue to be powerful tools in my life.

Jan is happily married and lives with her husband, Frieder, in Kent. She draws again and again upon this rich relationship to nurture and inform others. Both singles and couples. Jan is also unusual as a coach and workshop leader in that her work includes sexuality. Her gift is to enable participants to celebrate themselves as gorgeous sexual human beings.
