Find the Effortless Now! The Two Day Non-Residential Workshop (non-religious event)
With Direct guidance & sound healing
Truly being in the Now… is to be in an effortless state while you go about everyday life.
When you are in the Effortless Now you may engage with the world, thinking, talking, being active… but your mind is effortlessly aware, and relaxed. This is what is meant to be in the Effortless Now, the true present moment awareness.
 The Effortless Now is a state of being, not a state of doing, in which you can very much be active in the world should you wish to…
The Effortless Now is also the state of flow that the high achievers and competitive sportsmen and women try to get in to, and what the religions talk about as a basic necessity for happiness. It is the way to become more self-aware and at peace, and much more besides.
 Being in the Effortless Now will change your life from inside out. You can learn how to be in this state the same way you can learn how to walk, swim or drive.
This program would teach you step by step to do exactly that.
As a result of learning to be in Effortless Presence you will:


be more relaxed and self-aware
be able to let go of the inner chatter
begin the journey to let go of long held grief, fears and phobias, anger issues, and other negative content in the mind and body
have a greater attention span and concentration
let go of stress due to work and troubling issues
be more intuitive
make better decisions in home and work life
improve interpersonal skills
be in better mental and physical health
begin to feel joy in life


“Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do
if you stay in the present moment” –Deepak Chopra   
 What the Effortless Present is:

It is a natural state of being


It is a conscious state. It is conscious of content of the mind rather than an unconscious state that is identified with mind content, i.e. the normal waking state
Anyone can identify it within oneself.
The thinking process can be integrated into to the Effortless Now, meaning that one can actively think, plan, etc., while effortlessly being in the present.
You can fully integrate it in to an ethical life.
It is a state that can be deepened to include the spiritual dimension, beyond mere belief.
[Note: what it is not primarily is a state where one tries to exclude the thoughts of the past or the future while trying to concentrate on the present. In other words, it includes the thoughts of the past or the future within an effortless present moment awareness that one intuitively connects to].

There is a precise science to being in the Effortless Present…
All genuine methods in spirituality and meditation will eventually get you in touch with the Effortless Present, including mindfulness meditation.
However this usually takes a considerable amount of time and effort. And not everyone will dedicate themselves enough to reach this state through meditation alone.There is however an alternative:
One can be introduced to the Effortless Present through a direct pointing out by a teacher.
Teachers with very specific consciousness/energy based skills can do this direct pointing out in that anyone open to this teaching can perceive the Effortless Presence within them using their own higher intuition to do so.
Sometime after being introduced in to the Effortless Now
You will be taught how to use sound yoga and music to go deeper in to the Effortless Now..
There is an ancient practice of healing and transformation through sound. Modern clinical psychiatry also uses music in its therapeutic work.
Music and sound can be attuned to in a particular way to give you an experience of deep relaxation and increased awareness.
In this workshop you will be shown the transformative power of connecting with music and sound to deepen your experience of the Effortless Now. This will also give you a joyful way to connect with your inner self through sound and music.
 A guarantee: everyone will find and experience the Effortless Present by the end of this program.
 The effect of being in the Effortless Presence in your work life:

Being in the Effortless Presence will mean that you will be in a state of relaxed alertness during your work. This will put you ‘in state’ to handle work-commitments more efficiently.
Creativity, not just in art, but in real-life situations, happens best when you are relaxed and alert at the same time. Your mind will bring up solutions seemingly out of nowhere when you are in this state. This is the so called ‘aha’ moment.
The reason why people come up with brilliant solutions to problems right after a good sleep and rest is because the state of relaxed alertness happens naturally for a short interval right after a good sleep. But the good news here is that that window of relaxed alertness can be had naturally with Effortless Present, and much longer than a short moment. In fact, one can life one’s entire life in this state of relaxed alertness, after some deepening.
The fundamental reason why most people are exhausted after a day of a white-collar job isn’t due to physical tiredness. The primary reason here is the mind that gets in to states of irritation, anger, anxiety, that it holds on to. The very nature of Effortless Present is clearing the mind through awareness. This will cut down or eliminate mental stress on the job itself.
Once you are genuinely relaxed, and not just trying to appear relaxed, others too will be naturally relaxed around you. You will enjoy their company, and they, yours. You will naturally have better interpersonal skills when you in the Effortless Present.
Once you start stabilising in the Effortless Present, you will open up the door of intuitive awareness, which is direct knowledge. Creativity is just one manifestation of higher intuition, the latter being infinitely vaster. The effect of this in your life in general, to whatever extent you will connect to this direct knowledge, will be immeasurable.

Tragedy Unfolded in Our Motherland
















 
 
Dear Fellow Engineers,

As all of you are aware our motherland has faced one of the gravest tragedies in recent years. We hope and pray that your families and loved ones living in Sri Lanka are safe and well. If your families or friends are affected by recent incidents, please feel free to contact us for any assistance and we are willing to help you.

In coming days, the people and families who are affected by the recent tragedy may require our help and assistance for them to get back into their lives, though this may be a very difficult and a long process. We will be talking to IESL headquarter in Colombo to see if there is any assistance that we can provide to assist the affected people in the country and what sort of long-term assistance we can provide from our end. We humbly request from you to attend the various activities organized in Sydney and around NSW for the affected people in our motherland and help them in whatever way you can.

We hope that our country will learn a lesson from what had unfolded and make sure that similar incidents will not be repeated again in the country.  We hope and pray for those who are injured to get well soon and those who lost their loved ones will have strength and courage to stand up and get back to their normal lives.  We wish to inform them that we share their grief and our thoughts are with them.

May the religious beliefs held by the affected peoples help them to come to grips with their losses and recover from injuries.

IESL NSW Chapter Executive Committee.

Designing of Fire Detection and Protection Systems
 
The Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka is pleased to inform you that, the IESL have successfully started the CPD course “Designing of Fire Detection and Protection Systems” in February 2019. The course commenced on 09th of March 2019 and will conclude on 30th of March 2019. This CPD Programme is conducted by
 
Eng. Chandimal Jayakody
Eng. Samantha Gunawardana
Mr. Rohitha Fernando ( Chief Fire Officer)
Eng. Sagara Akalanka
Eng, Sajeewa Perera
Eng. Suranga Lekamwasam
 
 
 The main objectives of the training programme are as follows.

Participants will enhance their knowledge of Fire Protection and Detection applications and practical usage. The course is comprised of worked practical examples thereby gain knowledge on design criteria.


There are 69 participants partaking in the Designing of Fire Detection and Protection Systems CPD Programme. IESL would like to thank the pool of Resource persons, CPD Committee and IESL CPD staff of Education Division for their exertion in conducting this course.

 
Contract Administration
 
In March 2019 IESL successfully launched the CPD course “Contract Administration”. The course commenced on 03rd of March 2019 and will conclude on 23 th of June 2019. This CPD Programme is conducted by Eng. A. C. Rasiah  BSc (Eng),   Dip.Arbitration (Merit) (ICLP),   CEng.  FIE(SL),  MConsE(SL), Consulting Engineer, Arbitrator (ICLP, IESL), Adjudicator (CIDA, IESL)
 
The main objective of the training programme is;

To provide the contractual and legal knowledge required in the  execution of a construction contract and its administration

At present numerous problems such as delays, increase in costs, claims, and disputes arise in our construction contracts due to lack of knowledge about contracts by the Contract Administrator (Engineer/Architect/Quantity Surveyor or his delegated Assistant), Contractor or Client of the Conditions of Contract known as the express terms of a contract (written terms), and the Law governing the contract known as the implied terms of a contract (unwritten terms)

The course is intended to provide knowledge and understanding of contracts to minimize such problems, focusing mainly on the frequently occurring types of problems in our local construction contracts, in order to provide the maximum benefits to the participants from the course and avoid the frequently occurring disputes in our local construction contracts. Avoidance of disputes prevents losses in the time of completion of a construction project due to the avoidance of elaborate dispute resolving processes such as adjudication, arbitration etc. It must be noted that while an adjudication process may take a few months to conclude, an arbitration process may take a few years to conclude. This is detrimental to both the construction industry and the development of the country as a whole.

 
There are 54 participants partaking for the Contract Administration CPD Programme. IESL would like to thank the pool of Resource persons, CPD Committee and IESL CPD staff of Education Division for their exertion in conducting this course.
 
 
Microsoft Project 2013/2016
 
“Microsoft Project 2013/2016” CPD programme was successfully concluded in February 2019. It was conducted from 06th of January 2019 to 10th of February 2019. The CPD programme was steered by Mr. Shanaka de Silva (Bsc MIS, MBA, MSC, PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM / Executive Vice President – PMI Colombo, Sri Lanka Chapter/Director – Ernst & Young)
 
The main objectives were,

Relevance and importance for harnessing the competencies and skills of 21st-century engineers
To provide awareness of new/latest developments in a subject area,
To update the members on the current knowledge in a particular technology,
To enable the engineers to acquire the necessary competencies for the effective application of knowledge in the workplace.

45 participants of the Microsoft Project CPD Programme were acknowledged upon successfully completing the course. IESL would like to thank the pool of Resource persons, CPD Committee, participants and IESL CPD staff of Education Division for making this CPD Programme a Success.

Dear Fellow/Member/Associate Member/Affiliate Member,
 
 
This communication is to convey the initiative taken by the 2018/2019 Council to ensure that the three types of Engineering Practitioners under the purview of IESL get registered with the ECSL, as required by the law of the country.
As informed to the public by the Engineering Council, Sri Lanka (ECSL), practitioners of Engineering in Sri Lanka have to be registered under six designated categories in the ECSL on or before 2019/07/31, out of which three categories (types) are under the purview of IESL, to be nominated with members of the Institution, as follows;
 
Chartered Engineer - Corporate members of the IESL (namely Fellow and Member categories of the IESL)
Associate Engineer - Associate members of the IESL
Affiliate Engineer - Affiliate members of the IESL
 
For the purpose of Registration, the ECSL will charge LKR 1,000/= +VAT (15%) per member per year. The Council at its 5th meeting for the Session 2018/2019, held on 2019/02/01 decided for this inaugural year (2019) to pay such registration fees for all members in your categories who are on the roll of IESL as of 2019/02/01, through IESL funds, provided that they fall under one of the following;

1. The above 3 types of members (except life members) who have paid the membership fees for 2019 on or before 2019/02/01,

2. The above 3  types of members (except life members) who have paid the membership fees for 2018 on or before 2018/11/30, but not paid for 2019 up to 2019/02/01 (These members will have to ensure that they pay the membership fees for 2019 on or before 2019/11/30),

3. Above 3  types of members who are Life Members (these members will have to pay ECSL registration fees through IESL for subsequent years {2020 onwards}, if they wish to continue ECSL registration, though they are exempt from paying IESL membership fees)

NOTE: All three types of members, including Life Members among them, will have to pay ECSL registration fees through IESL from year 2020 onwards.
I would like to re-emphasise that this initiative was taken by the Council (at a projected expenditure of approximately LKR 18 Million) to ensure that the three types of Engineering Practitioners under the purview of IESL get registered with the ECSL as required by the law of Sri Lanka.

The first program of ‘Talk to school’ conducted by the Young Members Section Committee of the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka is scheduled to be held at Rahula Collage Mathara on 14th February 2019. It is all about engineers going back to their Alma Mater and sharing their experiences, educating the importance of engineering profession, how they become engineers and the road to become a successful engineer.
 
Target group of Students
For G.C.E A/L students: The main purpose of this program is to help the students who have chosen maths and sciences to know that engineering careers are creative, rewarding and fun, and to encourage those who show an interest in engineering.
For G.C.E O/L students: To help young students see that maths and science can be applied in creative and useful ways – and inspire them before choosing their subjects before the A/L. It is presumed that the best way to engage with this age range will be through talking to the schools and suggesting some follow-up ideas.
 
What we TALK?
We talk about What is Engineering? Why anybody become an Engineer? Which type of Engineering should you choose? What are employment prospects? Where do Engineers work?
We present the idea that Engineering is behind everything by providing examples of the world’s most pressing problems handled by Engineers. Also how professionally registered Engineers are being respected like other major professions. Further we talk about the IESL, who is a Chartered Engineer and how to achieve the status.
 
The conduct of the Program
The program lasts for 4 hours with interactive speeches and activities to give an inspirational and energetic impression about Engineers. The Main speeches will be delivered by Eng. A. Manamperi (Vice President, IESL, and Council Member) and Eng. P.W. Sarath (Fellow- Council Member). The other personals are selected from the Engineering Students, Members of the IESL who are Old Boys of Rahula College, Matara. A Leaflet will be distributed during the event for benefit of the students.
 
This event is organized by the Young Members Section Committee of IESL in collaboration with IESL Ruhunu Chapter.
