Give me 5 minutes and you'll learn how mindful living
leads to a majestic life and meaningful relationships.
You'll learn EXACTLY how to make it happen for you!

For a limited time, receive two e-books
that have changed thousands of lives!

You've reached this page because you have questions about mindfulness,
and about how this "simple presence" technique can strengthen your self-worth,
your relationships, and the direction your life is taking.

You've searched the Internet, looking for resources, help and methods.
I want you to know that the two books I'm about to describe are written with your dilemmas and questions in mind.

I'm Wayne C. Allen, and I want to welcome you here. I know you have many questions – about your life, your purpose, and your relationships. I sincerely believe that you are about to find
the answers you are looking for.

To begin with, there two things you need to know.

First and foremost, no matter how difficult your life has been up until now, you can turn things around! None of us grow up knowing how to find depth and meaning in our lives, our relationships, our careers. In fact, just the opposite is true.

Knowing how to have a strong, clear, meaning-packed life is not automatic –
but it can be learned!

Second, what you need to learn is how to live your life with deep richness and full passion – truly another way of being.

I'm going to take you by the hand and teach you another, positive,
self-caring and self-affirming way.

I'm sure you're curious, so I'll tell you more. But first, be excited!! You are taking your first step on the authentic path to self-awareness and deep relationship!

Let me begin with a bit of my story:

I earned my Masters degree in Counselling in 1983, and have been in private practice since then. I've worked with thousands of clients, and have been on a path of self-exploration that continues to this day.

I've noticed over the years that I attract a certain type of client.

The people I work with tend to be intelligent. Many have important careers. Most are in relationship. And universally, they are not happy. They feel unfulfilled, scattered, confused.

Growing up, each client heard that if you had a career, and a family, and followed the rules, you would be successful, content, and happy.

They do not feel successful.
They feel deep disappointment.

They were told that doing what everyone else was doing would lead to a contented life.

They do not feel contented.
They feel bored, unfulfilled and confused.

And they think that they have been betrayed.
They've done all the right things, and have gotten all the wrong things in return.

What I am about to offer you is the result of the exploration that I began way back in 1983, plus the refinements I've made over the last 20-some years.

Since 1983, when I changed my understanding of how the world works, I've had a career I am passionate about, a primary relationship that gets better every day (we celebrated our 20th anniversary in 2006,) and I live my life according to the only standards that matter—my own.

This is what I offer to you – the chance to turn your life, your relationships, your career, and your sense of self-worth in a completely new direction.
It will take effort and commitment, but with the two books
and the extra resources I've created for you,
you will succeed.

Two of the most amazing books you'll ever read, now available together!
The Ultimate Self-transformation package!

 

The first book in the package,
and the first book you should read, is
This Endless Moment

This Endless Moment is unlike any other book you've ever seen or read. It is a clear, concise, practical guide to living a rich, full life.

This book changes lives.

I wrote This Endless Moment because I have seen my clients use these concepts - and blossom!

In fact, the book was their idea!

They wrote, they called, they stopped me on the street -
to tell me about how their lives had changed.
They asked me to write down what I'd taught them.
In fact, they demanded it!

Take a moment to read a few of the many reviews of This Endless Moment.

A profoundly simple approach to life that even the most skeptical types would have trouble arguing. I enjoyed the matter-of-fact writing style, short chapters and
'thought for the day' anecdotes.
I was never bored with the content, thanks to your quirky sense of humour and your ability to always bring the reader back to the point of self-responsibility and 'owning it'.
This book is great read for those who want to begin a new path but don't have a clue how to begin, and equally great for those who believe they actually "know it all."
A bit of hand-holding was a nice touch with the guide at the end to give the reader one less excuse to avoid making changes.

~ Katharine Phillips

I have finished your book and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I loved how it was so straight to the point - called it without creeping around - and so was able to cover an incredible amount in a short space. It really felt as if you were talking to me - and accepting no excuses, but with humour and compassion!
I  particularly liked the section on romance, love and compassion, which put things in a way that I'd not seen before and made SO much sense! I found the whole book refreshing after the psycho-babble and  repetitive stuff I've read before.
It was also very thought - or rather action - provoking and was exactly the right thing for me right now. Thank you so much for writing it.

~ M. Reid

I was teary this morning and in just such a crappy place feeling sorry for myself about something. I downloaded your book "This Endless Moment" and printed it off. By page 4 I was hooked, by page 12 I was chuckling and had a smile in my cheeks for the rest of the book--which I read in one sitting.
Awesome, awesome, and SO perfect for where I am in my deconstruction process.
I am a Havenite and will certainly take in your course in the future.
Thanks for writing such an excellent book.

~ With warmth, Ellen

Author and psychotherapist Wayne Allen spent nearly two years writing This Endless Moment. The purpose of this book is to help people change their lives for the better. This Zen-ish style book is well-written and is filled with many significant insights that will give you a more clear picture of who you are and how to get what you want from life.
I could place many of the passages in This Endless Moment into my Life's Little Goodies column, and few people would know I didn't write them. In other words, if you like "goodies" you'll probably like this book. The tone is casual, sprinkled with humour, and full of lessons you'll wish you knew long ago.
I've learned from it, and anytime a book teaches you at least one worthwhile thing you didn't know, it is well worth the price. You'll get your money's worth.

So, I hear you asking, what's in the book, and why is it so special?

This Endless Moment is a practical guide to living the kind of life you imagine for yourself.

You will learn:

• how to take ownership of your life and decisions
• how to live continuously "in the moment," as you let go of the past
• how to communicate effectively, deeply and intimately
• how to differentiate between lust and love
• how to deepen your passion for life ... and for your partner
• how to relieve tension and distraction
• how to find peace and contentment
• how to live a life that is full of meaning
• how to stop waiting and start living
• how to embrace your uniqueness, and
  how to be comfortable in your own skin

...Wayne Allen sent me one of his books to help me through my grieving.
It's called "This Endless Moment" and confronts you with the stark reality that you decide what anything means in your life.
He says in his Zen-ish book, "Everything is a figment of your imagination." I love the reminder. It puts the responsibility for your well-being where it belongs: Inside.

~ Dr. Joe Vitale

I wanted to tell you that I thought your book was FANTASTIC. I devoured it and thought it was really one of the best things I've read in ages. I'd like to get 5 more copies for friends and family for Christmas.
Congratulations Wayne - I hope you are pleased. It says sooooo much in a concise, easy to read, humorous way. I just loved it. It was especially pleasing as I've heard the messages for years, and can just hear your voice and see your expressions. Thanks for giving me and others such a great gift.

~ Julie Redfern

After reading your excerpts on the website I could hardly wait to receive it and begin my journey. This is a book I know I will read over again. It is a confirmation of what I have learned in therapy over the years and a great reminder. You had a review somewhere on the website that I read stating " I heard your voice telling me this when I was with you in counselling", and that has been my experience so far. I hear echoes of my mentors and therapist as I read. I want to thank you for writing your book and sharing your knowledge and experience on your website.
I am a constant visitor of the Phoenix Centre Website from home and work.
Thanks so much for being there!
~ Marilyn Beatty

I purchased 2 of your printed books This Endless Moment before Xmas, and a friend is devouring it, as I did, and then passed it on. My most precious piece, was your suggestion about beginning to measure the progress of my life. Yes, I did that in my business, but not in other personal growth areas.
Also, thought I would mention how my thoughts were taking me down the self pity and anger road, so I came back to your book and your web pages. Amazing how my perspective changed, and how much better the rest of world is now! Thanks for saying like it is and putting the how to's at the end of the book.

~ Jean Eyre

Wayne Allen has taken important complex concepts and has expressed them in an accessible and practical way. His very personal approach is remarkable. This is an excellent, readable book. We're impressed!


~ Bennet Wong & Jock McKeen
Co-founders,  The Haven Institute

Wayne's writings are a reminder to us that responsible living requires patience, effort, dedication, and care. His use of humour, stories and casualness throughout the text makes it feel like a conversation with a wise, gentle friend. The lessons might be tough but the rewards are . . . living fully.
Profound in its simplicity.

~ Debashis Dutta, professor
Human Services Foundation Program
Conestoga College, Kitchener, Canada

Wayne has managed to capture aspects of human and relational dilemmas in succinct and often humorous ways. He is relentless with his objective that we own our responsibility for our selves rather than waiting for the "world" to provide-and blaming it when it doesn't. I know Wayne as a man who lives the talk, except when he doesn't - great laughs for both of us on such occasions.
This little book is packed with wisdom.
Of course it only works when practiced, rather than merely the reading of it.

~ Gloria Taylor, psychotherapist
Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

Wayne Allen writes as he speaks and as he lives - with startlingly direct and challenging wisdom. He also teaches with great compassion. When he writes, for instance, "Have a breath and get over yourself," he does so not flippantly or dismissively, but with the deep desire that we learn to live well and wholeheartedly.
This small, powerful book could change lives.

And that's just the first book!

Let me now tell you about book number two:

Living Life in Growing Orbits

Living Life in Growing Orbits provides you with the guidance you need. It's a year-long exercise in seeing and simply being.

The Concept

We've all been conditioned by our culture and upbringing to have preconceived notions:

• about how the world works,
• about who we are,
• about how to relate to others, and especially,
• about what we are capable of.

Perhaps it is closer to the truth to say we've been trained to stay stuck – we have learned what we are not capable of.

Most people are living examples of the adage, "Argue for your limitations, and they are yours."

Living Life in Growing Orbits provides you with tools for breaking free from your limitations.

Living Life in Growing Orbits is quite simply an amazing book. It's a brilliant workbook for achieving wholeness and mastery.

It's designed to be read and worked through, day-by-day, over an entire year:

• Each week begins with a vital concept – written in a simple and engaging style designed to get you to think about what you believe.
• Following the weekly thought are exercises for the next seven days – things to do, to write about, to think about, and emphatically, to practice.
• Each vital concept is paired to its opposite, and each leads to the next, in a carefully designed building process.
• Understandings flow intuitively and naturally, as you experiment with a shift of behaviours to match your new understandings.

Living Life in Growing Orbits allows me to walk with you for an entire year, just as I would if you were one of my clients. In clear and unambiguous terms, I guide you though the exploration and re-design of your thought patterns, habits, and beliefs. In a systematic and elegant way, we clear away what does not work, strengthen what does, and give you the means and the experience to actually live what you've learned in This Endless Moment.

Wayne Allen is an insightful writer. From his varied life experience, he blends spiritual principles with everyday values, making for a readable, thought provoking book.
Foremost, Wayne is very human .... and this comes through in his writing.
This book would be of value to anyone who is genuinely interested in finding deeper meanings in life and relationships.
You can read it all at once, or sip it in small quantities.
Highly recommended.

~ Jock McKeen, M.D. and Bennet Wong, M.D.

Again, the idea is simple—there are 53 "weekly" themes—each theme capturing a concept for finding wholeness and a new perspective for your life. This idea is explained and expanded on the 'left hand page.'

On the following page are thoughts and reflections for each day in that week. Each one is directly related to the theme for the week, and each has a suggested exercise.

As you follow along, you'll find that your understanding of how life works grows with each passing week.
