Perception

What is the value that you place on something is all about perception really.

For me, I am willing to spend on things that allow me to further enhance my life. It could be books, therapeutic sessions, courses, travel or gifts for others. When I went for my month long holiday in the UK, I actually invested quite a bit of money to travel to Manchester from Scotland for a one day workshop. What did I get out of it? Two insights. Worth it? Absolutely as these two insights are critical to further affirming and enhancing my new chosen path.

In the same way, when "new" clients express their views about my fees for my one to one sessions, I respect their views yet it does not affect me. In fact, the insights and value for the Chakra Scan is certaintly worth much more than the amount that they are investing. I've priced it at this cheaper rate (I know it is worth more than that! Every client once they experienced the session absolutely feel it's worth more than what they've spent!) only because at this moment in time, I would like more people to be open and willing to experience it. I did not wish for price to be the factor stopping them or the excuse they use to stop themselves from moving ahead.

Here, I am not talking about people who has genuine financial constraints. For them, we always work something out. Either huge discounts, an exchange or installments, whichever works better for them. It's never free as there must be an energy exchange even if it's just a couple of dollars or an exchange of services.

Here, I am talking about people who are willing to spend hundreds of dollars over a couple of hours on food or drinks or hundreds of dollars on dresses and techie toys etc. Yet reluctant to spend less than that amount on sessions that can further enhance their lives.

It's all about perception.

If one insight transforms your life, what would be the value that you are willing to pay?

Gratitude. Focus. Fly Free!

This past half year has been an exhiliarting journey of new discoveries, deeping of giftings and meeting new friends.

As we move into a season of love and a brand new abundant year, it is a time for us to take stock of our achievements and have gratitude for all the opportunities and blessings. It is also a time for us to reflect so that we can focus to build an even better year ahead.

For me, I am grateful for the blessings and opportunities since I received my certification as a QT instructor in May. I did my first workshop in June, took a break in July and August to help my friend Yvonne and continued with my own workshops in September. To-date, I've conducted 9 workshops, with 2 of them in Hong Kong and Scotland thus fulfilling my dream to be an international instructor. Yay! I've certified 77 students with my youngest at 10 years and my oldest at 84 years. One of them, Owen, is now a certified practitioner himself!!

Through the workshops, I have expanded my social circle as well as my client base. Through their encouragement and affirmations, I took the bold step to fly free and this month, I abundancestorm and finally cleared the outstanding debts from my ex-marriage.

Thank you:

• God for being you :)
• Daddy, Mummy and Sis! This journey would not have been possible without your support.
• Friends for your support and affirmations! I am blessed by your friendships!
• Participants for giving your 120% at workshops and thus, challening me to be an even better instructor. I have learnt so much from all of you!
• Clients for your trust in my abilities to be a catalyst of positive transformation for you and more importantly, for the trust in yourself as a healer. You are the healer, not I. And it's an absolute joy to be a witness to your healing process as you take the steps to transform your lives! So proud of all of you!
• Fellow therapists! I have learnt so much from your sharing and insights!
• QT team! Without your support, it would not be possible to go on this journey.
  
  

I have also grown in my giftings and have been exposed to new methodologies and new interests. Last night, I had an important conversation with my bestest friend. It's good to have new interests yet at the same time, it is also important for us to stay focus so that we can deepen and not be breadth shallow. As such, I have decided that for 2009, I will focus on:

• Further enhancing my QT workshops. I love sharing and teaching about QT because it is such an useful tool.
• Deepening my chakra scanning abilities and giftings
• Further enhancing my chakra workshop
• Completing my first book and start on the 2nd one
• One to one sessions for Chakra Scan & Energetic Enhancement sessions as well as emotional relief
  

Exciting year ahead!!!

PS: I know what is happening in the world. I choose to focus to write on positive happenings. I cannot change what has happened, I can change my response to it. And thus, I choose to focus on positivity and encourage my friends and circles to do so as well. If we entrain to negativity, it is a negative spiral down down down. When we choose collectively to focus on goodness and positivity, healing and growth begins.

Change me, change the world

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” ~ Gandhi

I love this quote from Gandhi and totally agree with his wisdom. It is certaintly easier to desire change in others and people often strive to change someone or others around them, with some people spending a lifetime on this "mission". I did. I spent 14 years of my life thinking, wishing, working, praying that my ex would change. He never did.

Pointless yet we still consistently fall into this trap.

We cannot change someone else.

What we can change is our responses towards them. And the only person that I can change is me.

Donovan, my youngest student!!!

Quantum-Touch is a tool that can be taught to anyone and indeed it is!!! Donovan is only 10 years old, my youngest student to-date! There is no minimum age for participants and it is up to us as instructors to assess the capability of the participants.

Donovan is the eldest son of Owen and Ivy, he already knows how to QT his parents. Learning QT formally is to give him an added boost of confidence in his ability. Because I can perceive energy flows, I know for sure that he runs energy beautifully and is very strong. He is also highly intuitive! He is also very wise for his age!!!

After working on me, he asked me: "Bernadette, my mum's fengsui for next year indicates that she will not have good health. I can use QT to work on her?"

Wow! That's exactly what feng sui, astrology, horoscopes etc is... just an indication so that we can change it. Not an absolute truth. With QT, we can do something to positively change what might possibly happen and not dwell on the negativity.

Well done Don!!! I am so proud of you for being so wise and so open to learning! Am sure you will be an inspiration to other children/ teenagers as well as adults!

Am so happy that he's decided to work towards practitioner status and I believe that with coaching and mentoring, he will indeed be excellent as a therapist! I am so so so excited!!!!

Thank You, My Amazing Participants & Friends!

One of the wonderful wonderful bonus benefits of Quantum-Touch is forming new friendships and deepening existing ones. Because of QT, I've made many new friends from different countries. Because of QT, I've made many new friends who have become close friends because we resonate in values and interests.

November Weekend QT Class

In this class, I've many close friends who I've known for some time. To these close friends, thank you for being a source of support and encouragement as I pursue my interest in healing modality. Thank you for being my practice clients when I needed to clock in the hours.

For the new friends that I've made, thank you for being participants who were truly engaged from the word "GO". Because you are open to learning, having fun and playing, it is not surprising that alot of you surpassed beyond the usual basic skills and saw colours, images and so on. Well done!

I am also very happy to find a beautiful venue for my weekend classes at the SAF Yacht Club. The view is amazing isn't it?

Woof Woof QT Class

As most of my blog regulars know, I've affectionately termed my evening classes at Best Friends as the Woof Woof group. Having my monthly evening QT classes at Best Friends is perfect as well cos' participants who love animals are able to bring in their pets during the practice sessions. Though I only know the group since Sept, we somehow click and have become good friends. I must say, they are also a very dedicated group who are just as passionate about energy work like I am. Owen is already a certified QT practitioner and is now still attending the basic workshops to get practice in facilitation as he works towards being an instructor. There's also 2 others Joelle and Lucy who are clocking in their hours to work towards practitioner status and instructors (Yay!!!! Mandarin speaking instructors) as well. Exciting isn't it?

Thanks Owen and Ivy for showing me so much love and concern!!! When I touched down past midnight yesterday at Changi Airport from Hong Kong, guess who I saw? Owen, Ivy and their wise son Donovan! They drove all the way to the airport to surprise me and bring me home to my place which is just 10 mins away by cab. Such a sweet gesture isn't it? Oooo... Donovan who is just 9 years old is now learning QT at my current Woof Woof Workshop. He runs energy beautifully!

Chris, the hubby of Joelle, has also generously offered his time and expertise to help me design a website. Thank you!

Hong Kong QT Class

I met Patricia and May in July this year when they flew in from Hong Kong to attend a QT workshop with my friend Yvonne. We clicked and corresponded with each other. Then in end July, I received a call from May requesting distance healing for her friend's son. Miracles do happen and before I left for my UK trip, was given the good news that the bone marrow transplant op was a success. I also felt a desire to be in Hong Kong to teach QT and to meet the boy and his mum and so started to plan it with Pat and May. While holidaying in UK, I woke up one morning and decided to go ahead and book my flight to Hong Kong and everything clicked into place!

Thank you all for the wonderful experiences that I had while I was in Hong Kong! Yes, I will be back in end Feb and yes, I will stay for a longer period of time. And I am very happy that a couple of you have decided to be certified as practitioners and eventually as instructors. Yay!!!

Congratulations OWEN!!!

OWEN, one of my QT graduates and now, a very good friend is now officially a Quantum Touch Practitioner

I am so very proud of him because he just took up his first QT workshop in Sept this year! With determination and great discipline, he clocked in diligently the 60 hours needed (in fact he did 78++ hours) for his practicum, read the required reding plus more and attended two live workshops. He was also open to learning and courageous to ask questions. A model "student" indeed!!

CONGRATS OWEN!!! Am very very proud of you!!!! Thanks Ivy as well cos' without your loving support, it would not have been possible for Owen too!

Owen and Ivy are the owners of Best Friend Doggy & Kitty Salon cum Learning Centre and they have had amazing success stories using QT on animals.

Protecting Clients' Confidentiality

As a therapist, it is important to keep your clients' confidentiality. I utterly dislike it when therapists gossiped about their clients. That is (1) extremely non professional and (2) it is a negative energy exchange. I only share case stories for example, there is a person who was this or that, and when you use this technique you will be able to etc etc in my classes. No names, no nationality and often, gender also not mentioned.

As you know, one of my specialisation is Chakra Scan and Energetic Enhancement. This is where it is even more important for me to protect my client's confidentiality and privacy because I SEE really deep at times. When I first started out being aware of this gift, I didn't know what it was and so had an experiential stage where I did it with friends so as to obtain feedback. Even then, it was only with friends who I know holds the same value of "confidentiality" as me. When I grew confident that it was truly a gift, the feedback was now only needed directly from clients.

My pool of clients, both in Singapore and overseas, are growing because (1) I am very good at what I do and (2) they know I protect their need for confidentiality and privacy. Some of them may start off being surprised that I will not "scan" another person and tell them about that person eg a wife asking me to scan her hubby. I would decline the engagement and they can look elsewhere. More often than not, they grow to respect my choice and decision cos' they know when they are my clients, I will protect their privacy too. In fact, many couples or friends do not even know that each party is my client.

The only time when I will not protect the client confidentiality is if there is a threat to the person's life. As you know, another of my specialty areas is emotional relief. If I scan and I SEE suicidal tendencies, I will let the client know that I am aware and how we should proceed with this. For example, yesterday when working with a client, I SAW that the person on several occasions contemplated suicide. I checked with the client who confessed that yes, it is true. I gave the client two choices, either (1) give me a promise that it will not happen and/or (2) that I am allowed to speak with the client's family members to alert them cos' it would never have crossed their minds that the client was feeling so. The client accepted both choices.

Be unto others how you would love them to be unto you. And be. No excuses. No victim mindset. No waiting for them to be first. You just be.

Setting Intentions

Energy follows intention. That's one of the principles of energy work.

This is the reason why at all my workshops, I invite the participants to at the start of the workshop set an intention or outcome for the workshops be it "I want to be able to heal myself and others around me" to "I want to activate my 3rd eye to be even more powerful" to "I would like to see colours".

The power of intention is powerful indeed.

Just yesterday, was sharing two fellow energy trained friends that it appears that with setting of the intention and also to a degree, my ability to perceive flows, it appears that majority of participants at the workshop go beyond just the basics. And that's great!

The person who set the intention for the 3rd eye activated her clairvoyant abilities and she has grown stronger and stronger. An example, when I returned from my month long holiday and met up with her, she was able to tell me that she SAW that two men caught my eye while I was holiday, a blond and dark haired. True. Lol. She's also shared more stuff about my future with me, and like how I grew my chakra gifting, lets wait and see to get feedback.

For the person who wanted to see colours, she did!! And the sheer joy emannating from her was highly contagious!

For myself, at my last workshop, I too set an intention. Been told by clairvoyants that on top of my current giftings, I will be clairvoyant too. And so I set an intention for me to SEE even deeper.Since the workshop, it appears to be so.

Well, the only way to find out is to get feedback and so my friends have asked me to SEE for them and we will see how it turns out to be.

To-date:
My friend's doggy was sick and when we google chatted on Monday morning, I told him that I am not sure she will make it. That night, received sms that she went to doggy heaven. Told him that I was not sure I like this gift that much.

But I know that we receive gifting which we can manage and excel in. Will be writing about this in my next posting. Gotta run now and celebrate my new life of FREEDOM with a pedicure followed by a trip to Kinokuniya! For those of you who went task task task at my seemingly frivolity, please read this, recognise and respect that there are different models of the world, and enJOY being you like I am being me!

Michael

Yesterday, my friend Val who is the founder of the Safe Haven Project) and who is a Reiki Master as well as a Cranial Sacral Therapist pampered with a Reiki Healing session cum CST. It was awesome on many levels!

Val's vibration is very strong and so it was utterly pleasurable to feel the flow of energy surging and recharging within me. I sank deeper into relaxation, bliss and at times, in a different space. Midway through the session, I heard a voice called out "Michael". I can't fully described the quality of this voice except that it's not of this world. So I asked, "is Michael my guardian angel?" The answer was yes and then it felt there was more. And so I asked, "is Michael my physical protector and lover as well?" The answer was yes. Hmmmm... so his name is Michael.

After the session, Val shared her insights with me that she received from the session. At the same time, I asked her if she sensed any negative attachments. She replied that I have a strong angelic protection and she also sensed the strong presence of my guardian angel beside me. She asked for the angel's name but didn't get any.

Well, she didn't but I sure did, didn't I?

I've been told, I will know my Mr Right when I meet him so I will share with you if he is named Michael too.

Fly Free!

In the past year, I have shared about my passion for energy work, about my experiences and evolving state. About the sheer joy when I work with clients to achieve their outcomes, the sheer joy when I teach QT and the sheer joy when I can be a catalyst of positive change.

At the same time, I also held a full time job as a Corporate Trainer. And that has been my struggle. It's been a real real struggle balancing the two - job plus energy work, not just in terms of time or physically. But the real struggle lies in the stark contrast in the emotional and spiritual nature of both work.

I know that in the past year, I have to be practical and hang onto my full time job and I did. Also to grow my gift. Right now, the calling and prompt is so so strong to focus and grow this area that I know/ trust that I must take the leap and soar. And I did!

I've taken the step to Fly Free. It is an exciting and exhilarating time!

Soar @ Quantum-Touch Workshops

One of my favourite joys is to sit on a swing and soar high. To be childlike. To play. To be free.

And that's how I feel when I am teaching Quantum-Touch. The sheer joy of sharing something that is a tool for inner freedom. A tool for people to be chidlike and to be happier. A tool for people to have a taste of soaring in the sky. A very practical tool that they can use to help themselves and others. I also believe that it's my ability to play, have fun, be childlike and be open to possibilities that allows me to be very good at what I do.

At every workshop, my participants rediscover a inner part of them, that part that believes in the awesomeness of possibilities, that part that knows that YES, I CAN DO IT! Above all, the participants learn to be childlike again and play. Yup, learning can be totally fun!

In a few hours, I will be running my weekend workshop. My woof woof workshop which is held in the evenings ended last week. So you can totally understand why I am feeling on top of the world!

Gotta shower and get dressed and then it's off to the SAF Yacht Club. Catch you later!

PS: For the pessimists who went "feeling on top will only get you crashing down!", well it is about your reframing of things isn't it? I intend to soar higher each time cos' I feel life as a trampoline. It only gets higher better each time! *BIG GRIN*

Aha! Another Reason to Learn QT!

I had a very interesting conversation with a friend recently. Very useful insights that I cannot not share it with you!!!!!! It's another reason to learn energy work!! I'm not mentioning my friend's name cos' I do not know if this dear friend wants to be quoted.

Everything on earth follows the “classical” science, aka Four Elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air. There is a fifth element, or spiritual energy, which is termed as Aether or Ether. Our thoughts are Air energy and in spiritual studies we believe that each person has a consciousness belonging to his/her soul. The soul communicates with one’s earthly body using the medium called Ether and this is transformed into Air energy like
thoughts and ideas.

Earth is the physical manifestation of objects, Water is about feelings and emotions, Fire is about motivation and the passion for life, Air is about thoughts and ideas. There is physical manifestation of each element, like Water’s physical is water, Fire physical manifestation is fire…. so on and so forth.

But the key difference between sentient and non-sentient beings is the soul/consciousness. Air also represents Science because of the
logical processing and thought required to analyze, critique, and formulate ideas. Astrology is a product of Air energy and it does not interfere directly with the Ether connections or consciousness of others, thus not affecting the Earthly bodies.

When trained, we can channel the Air energy in the Earthly realm to connect back to Ether and “attract” or “create” our future. This is also known as visualization. For those gifted who can sense vibrations packed with consciousness (Ether manifestation), the Water energy in those people is usually quite abundant.

Visualization taps onto the Ether realm, which helps to attract like-minded consciousness to the visualizer (via vibrations). It is powered by intent. So when someone’s intent is to destroy someone else’s intent, then there will be repercussions because of the clash of opposites. By sending out negative vibrations, the sender also attracts negative vibrations (hence the term we attract like-minded). So it is very dangerous to dabble in “black” magic or spiritual work involving “negative” intents.

Things about astrology can only be 100% true if we allow it to rule over us. If we do not creatively visualize our future, then science/astrology/probability/life-trends will rule over us to dictate the future. Again, we are not robots (meaning we have five elements; not four only. Because we have consciousness). We can access Ether via Air channels to attract what we want. The key is Practice, Practice, Practice.

The most important is the intent driving the four elements; regardless of all the types of energy work we are involved in.

WOW!! I am so excited! Do you comprehend the full magnitude of these insights!!!???!!!! It also explains why I feel such a strong calling to move into this direction, this strong desire to share and teach as many people, and the strong pull to specialise in chakra work using my gifts. My mission in life is to be a dream catalyst and energy work is one of the ways to help people transform their lives.

It also explains why I felt that among all the tools I have learnt through the years, it was when I learnt energy work that my life changed the fastest, that the dream life I desired way back started to materialise at a much quicker pace!

Now I understand.

PS: Am also finally grateful for the fact that I have "water retention" since water abundance is water energy right? :)

Accept Opportunities!

As you know, I am open to learning about things and consider most things as useful tools. As such, I absolutely have no qualms consulting about my future aka Astrology. I also have friends who SEE and I absolutely love consulting them too. I consider their gifting as tools and not "religion" so am not bounded by what they have to shared yet can utilise them to better my life. Open yet flow. As I often share with people, Quantum-Touch is also a tool and a very useful one at that. While I respect people's model of the world and non acceptance, it would be utter foolishness not to at least be open to hear about it then decide if it's a tool that would be useful to you at this time.

Accept Opportunities. That's one of the themes for a book that I am writing. If I was not open to accepting opprtunities to learn for example, to attend my very first Quantum-Touch workshop or the very first NLP seminar and accepting opportunities to better my life for example when Marilyn offered to do her emotional detox process for me or when Kenneth offered to read my basic chart, life would not be what it is today!

Attending the NLP seminar opened up a whole new world and helped to be an even more effective trainer and now, a therapist. I met Kenneth through another NLP workshop that I attended and hence, benefitted from his reading for me. The first time was in end 2005 and it helped me to shift from a poverty mindset mentality to abundant mentality. From being worried about money to feeling good about abundance.

When I accepted Yvonne's offer to attend her very first Quantum-Touch workshop, I was totally skeptical yet I decided to attend it. Gosh, am sure glad I did!!! Through QT, Marilyn found me cos' she was my first paying client! She soon became a very dear friend and on one of her trips here, she offered to do her emotional detox process for me. I thank her for this gift because it helped me to completely feel the same and yet different. All my negative triggers that have been anchored in the past were removed. And I needed the process to help me heal from a terrible break up. Now, I often recommend Kenneth and her to my clients cos' I know how useful it is! Because of her, my workshop in Scotland is possible. And so on.... there are countless other connections that I've made through the years which were possible only because I was open to accepting opportunities.

Of course I am not asking you to blindly accept all opportunities that come your way. Accept opportunities that are positive in intent, win win outcomes for all and above all, you feel 100% good about it (being skeptical is good so it doesn't count as a negative emotion).

Life can be very different when you do as I have discovered!

Quantum-Touch and Animals

My participants and now good friends, Owen and Ivy, are the absolutely lovely owners of Best Friends Doggy & Kitty Salon cum Learning Centre .

I first met them in Sept when they found me through this blog and contacted me to find out more about using QT on animals. Very quickly, they organised a QT workshop for themselves and 6 other friends who were also interested in learning QT to help themselves, others and their pets. I've affectionately termed them as my Woof Woof Group.

Since Sept, they've been diligently practicing and clocking in the hours. Most importantly, they are accumulating experience in working with animals and I am very sure, they would soon surpass me in this area and I am so excited!

They've have had amazing results and I would love you to read their account of MoMo the cat who was diagnosed of cancer six months ago and is under the care of a vet.

MoMo is currently on medication (for the pain in the throat). The cancerous lump found on the left side of the neck have since eaten through to the inner side of the left throat, thus making it painful for MoMo to eat or drink. After just 3 QT sessions, he is DRINKING more water, EATING on his own and as he did not complain of any pain, his owner Miss Manami has reduced his medication (which he usually takes) and he is more active too. She also mentioned that when she brought him to the vet for a review, the vet also notice a change in his activity level too. Miss Manami also said "I feel more confident each time I send my cat for the QT session as I can see results." Read more about MoMo the cat here.

Testimonials - Quantum-Touch Workshops

May, 39, Hong Kong
QT is such a simple and easy to use healing method. One day, I put my hands on my friend's little toddler girl who has spine problem since she was born. The little girl was so quiet and relaxed while my hands touched ber back, she nearly fell asleep again, in fact she just woke up from her nap! 15 mins passed by, I looked at her face and she gave me an angelic smile. Her mom was amazed and told me that her daughter would never let anyone unfamiliar touch her, usually she would scream and cry loudly. Highly recommend QT to any parents to learn, a very gentle and calming healing skill for kids.

Tag, 18, Singapore
My dad told me today that he no longer feels any pain and thanked me for introducing Quantum-Touch to him. Thank you for your services. You spared him a lot of pain and treatments.

Sharon, 47, Scotland
At the workshop, Bernadette has a gift which brings the best out of people. It has been an honour and pleasure to meet her.

Kenneth, 27, Singapore
Bernadette has been an extremely engaging trainer throughout the QT session, who manages break this complicated and seemingly intimidating field into something easy to grasp. Her stories were truly inspiring as they drove us to re-think our paradigms with the powerful principles like ‘Energy follows intention’ and ‘Breathe, breathe, breathe!’ which she emphasized and reinforced since day one. The QT workshop also gave us a unique way of understanding how we function as facilitators of healing and that our highest positive intention drives the process. The workshop has been filled with fun, laughter, joy, and sometimes tears as there were moments that touched the depths of our hearts, and if not, our soul. An excellent program with impressive and professional trainer! Please keep up the great work!”

Gabriel, 33, Singapore
It all started with when I got involved with Golf. Being too engrossed in it, I went to the golfing range for 7-8 days in a row to practise my swings. I guess something must have happened during those sessions where I developed a dull ache in my palm. It got so bad that I couldn't swing the club properly. Sometimes, when I wake up in the morning, I would feel the ache in the hand too. This lasted for more than a month. Even when I rested from Golf, the ache wouldn't go away. Bernadette did 2 QT sessions for me, the pain didn't go away immediately, but within 2 days, I forgot that I had the pain. It simply disappeared, vanished. Even after I carried on playing, the pain didn't return. Now that I'm writing the testimony for her (a few months since I recovered), honestly, I can't remember which hand it was... left or right... :)

Subsequently, she helped to do QT for my mum's headache, my dad's aches, my wife's morning sickness, my little son's fever... I certainly would recommend anyone reading this to give it a go, and see what QT can do for them.

Frances, 85, Scotland
I would take another workshop from Bernadette because she was good. I thought she was very good at interacting with us as a group and we were all very happy with her.

Testimonials - Chakra Scan and Energetic Enhancement Sessions

Dr Marilyn Rodger, Scotland
The Chakra Scan with Bernadette is both insightful and healing. The insights were very meaningful and made a difference in my life immediately. Bernadette works on spiritual, emotional and physical issues and she is dedicated to assisting you harness your mind, body and health skills.


Owen, Singapore
When we were in the middle of the QT class, Bernadette offered to scan the Chakras of all the participants as our group was small. When she scanned my chakra, I was amazed that she was able to see my personality and some of the challenges with my wife cause I do not understand some of the problems that she has kept closed in her heart and I felt lost because I do not know how to help her open up her problems to me. After she scanned my wife, Ivy’s Chakra, she started to open up and she felt more relaxed. Bernadette is a wonderful teacher and now, a friend. She had helped all the participants in that class understand themselves better thus lives have changed for the better. I’m confident saying this cause all those participants in that class are clients turned friends and have been by my side for more than 5 years and I’m sure they will definitely agree with me.


Bingz, Singapore
B's Chakra Scan is quite amazing. I'd say it's more of a intuitive chakra reading, where she looks into each of the 7 main chakras, and tells you what the chakras want to let you know at the moment. It's like having an energy check up to evaluate where you are in your inner world currently, and how it may have caused your outer reality to change. Through her reading, I received valuable insights in areas of my finance, relationships, personal power, intuition etc. And she does it with so much love and respect for my personal space when it came to stuff that's quite sensitive. Though I do energy work also, I feel that it's beneficial to get an unbiased 2nd opinion to see how my efforts have paid off in clearing and energizing my chakras, and also which area I could focus more on.

Abundance Mentality

Abundance mentality, that is a term that I came across years ago and since then, have followed. In this economic environment, it is even more important for us to continue to be abundant to those who needs our understanding and help. Abundance mindset is for all times, not just for good times. If one isn't able to contribute financially, one can also do so with time.

As such, I have adopted the Safe Haven Project as my charity. The project, initiated and managed by my friend Val Whyte, seeks to help restore the village of Legok in Indonesia which was affected by the tsunami of 2004. The funds goes to the maintaining of the Fly Free School and a clinic which supplies education and health needs for 100’s of individuals.

I am dedicating 10% of all profits from my Quantum-Touch workshops and one to one sessions to The Safe Haven Project. Thus providing an opportunity for participants and clients to help themselves and in the process, help others to lead a happier life. Wonderful energy, isn't it?

For more information on The Safe Haven Project, please log onto www.safehavenproject.com. You can also choose to make a direct donation. I know that every any amount will be greatly appreciated!

To Charge Or Not To Charge

A dilemma commonly faced by practitioners and therapists is with regards to charging for our services. People often have the misconception or non useful belief that it is not right to charge for energy work. It is meant to help and so, how can we charge?

I used to feel awkward and was in a dilemma as well. As I shared previously, I find it very difficult to charge people for my sessions especially friends. It was only in August this year that I've shifted in my beliefs and thoughts on this. And I am very glad that I did cos' then I am a very congruent instructor and coach to my participants who may also be interested to do QT full time.

Attend a workshop by David Ashworth during my recent hols to UK. I love the way he sums up on this issue of money and energy work:

Healing is free, it is of the Universe. People are paying not for the healing but for the healer/ therapist's time.

That is so true. As therapists, practitioners and/or instructor, we have spent money and time to learn and upgrade ourselves on the energy modalities. And often, most of us have broaden our scope of skills with other related courses that would be useful for our clients. At the same time, we are also spending our time when we do a session for someone.


As such, if you are doing this to earn an income, then it is only right to accept a fee for your services and time. It is not being money minded. It is about a fair exchange between you and your client. You'll be surprised at how obligated or uncomfortable people might feel when you offer your services for free as I've discovered. In fact, they often feel better when you decide to charge because then they can freely ask you for more sessions if need be. I learnt this the hard way. So learn from me and start abundantly charging for your time and effort! Trust me, your clients/ friends will appreciate it!

Chakra Scan and Energetic Enhancement Session

Been receiving enquires about my Chakra Scan and Energetic Enhancement Session so thought I would write a post on it.

During the Chakra Scan and Energetic Enhancement session, I will look into the client's chakras or energy centres and provide them with insights and awareness. I discovered that I could actually see/ feel images or messages that the client's body is telling me and in turn help the client to confirm, affirm or be aware of. For example, the base chakra is tied to a person's sense of security and stability. When a client is extremely stressed about financial worries or concerns, then often this chakra is either blocked or sevrely not balanced. When the client knows that the worries are causing tremendous stress to their bodies, they then will make a conscious decision to destress.

Another example is when I saw a client's crown or spiritual chakra as being very alive and awakening, then I will share with him to continue to do what he's doing cos' obviously, his spiritual connection is giving him great joy in life.

Or another example, is when I look into a client's heart chakra and saw that the client was hurt by something way back in the past and have since then, locked herself from feeling emotions. I shared that with the client who was very surprised because she's never told anyone. Then I shared that it's not useful for us to lock our heart chakra cos' with time, we can grow detached and cold. She agreed and then we work on it.

This brings me to the 2nd part of the session which is the energetic enhancement. Once I've scanned and provide a client with insights on his or her chakras, we then work on them energetically either to further enhance or to do "corrective" work example, the locked heart chakra. The chakras or energy centres do not "lie", they provide real clues about how our everyday events or feelings or thoughts are affecting us directly. What we would like is for the chakras to be smoothly flowing with no blockages etc cos' then we feel good and wonderful and often, happier as well.

When I went through a painful period two years ago, my chakras were all blocked. When I realised that, I seek help to balance them cos' I know that while I may not be able to attract solutions then to change my life but by allowing myself to feel better, I will then be in a more resourceful state.

So far, clients have found the chakra scan and energy enhancement to be very useful and in a few cases, life changing. There was a lady who after my scan, realised that she's been self deceiving herself that everything is fine when she's actually utterly miserable. Because of the awareness, she decided to take actions to change those aspects of her life that was causing her grief. The last time I heard from her, she's feeling the happiest that she's been in 20 years!! The people around her also noticed the change. Wonderful isn't it?

Testimonials from some clients:

Dr Marilyn Rodger, Scotland: The Chakra Scan with Bernadette is both insightful and healing. The insights were very meaningful and made a difference in my life immediately. Bernadette works on spiritual, emotional and physical issues and she is dedicated to assisting you harness your mind, body and health skills.

Owen, Singapore: When we were in the middle of the QT class, Bernadette offered to scan the Chakras of all the participants as our group was small. When she scanned my chakra, I was amazed that she was able to see my personality and some of the challenges with my wife cause I do not understand some of the problems that she has kept closed in her heart and I felt lost because I do not know how to help her open up her problems to me. After she scanned my wife, Ivy’s Chakra, she started to open up and she felt more relaxed. Bernadette is a wonderful teacher and now, a friend. She had helped all the participants in that class understand themselves better thus lives have changed for the better. I’m confident saying this cause all those participants in that class are clients turned friends and have been by my side for more than 5 years and I’m sure they will definitely agree with me.

Bingz, Singapore: B's Chakra Scan is quite amazing. I'd say it's more of a intuitive chakra reading, where she looks into each of the 7 main chakras, and tells you what the chakras want to let you know at the moment. It's like having an energy check up to evaluate where you are in your inner world currently, and how it may have caused your outer reality to change. Through her reading, I received valuable insights in areas of my finance, relationships, personal power, intuition etc. And she does it with so much love and respect for my personal space when it came to stuff that's quite sensitive. Though I do energy work also, I feel that it's beneficial to get an unbiased 2nd opinion to see how my efforts have paid off in clearing and energizing my chakras, and also which area I could focus more on.

For those of you interested in the session, please contact me at bernadettecsy@gmail.com or (65) 9272 9476 to schedule an appointment.

The Chakra Scan & Enhancement session comes in two parts; in the first, I will scan your chakras (energy centres) and provide insights on on what's working well and the areas for enhancement for greater alignment, balance and happiness. I will then enhance the chakras that are balanced and provide therapeutic work on those that need improvements. Clients have found these sessions to be beneficial, enabling positive changes to their lives. They use it as a way to feel happier and balanced regardless of what the circumstances may be around them. This is especially true with the recent and upcoming financial economic situation.

The scan ( 90 to 120 mins) need not be done face to face, we can work via through skype/phone session while the enhancement (60 mins) can be done either face to face or via distance healing.

1% vs 99%

One of my gifting is the ability to look at a person's chakras and provide insights on how their energy centres is flowing, affirmation of what's going great as well as insights for further enhancement. This has been useful for my clients as it provides them with greater awareness and they are able to make changes in their lives for positive change to happen. I mean, if you know that your worries about finances and stability is causing tremendous stress to your body, you would then learn to relax more wouldn't you? Or that you've locked your heart tightly because of a past hurt to protect yourself yet it is preventing you from fully loving or receiving love, you would learn to be more open wouldn't you? Following the scan, I will then work on enhancing and balancing the chakras for the client. We may not be able to attract physical solutions but we can always feel good energetically first. Being in a more resourceful and useful state would then lead to a better frame of mind and things will click in place.

I've been grateful to realise this gifting and as it grew in its strength, have thanked the Universe cos' it's been a great tool for the work I do. Have received so many affirmations from my clients that I am now confident about using it for the highest outcome and goodness. Till recently.

When I work with someone, I always ask the person for permission to be honest with my sharing. Next, I always ask him or her how the session would be useful. If the person does not intend to do anything about the insights then perhaps it's better not to know. Finally, the scanning is always confidential. If the person decide to share the insights with someone, that's the person's choice. My lips are sealed.

Someone asked me for healing sessions recently. I naturally offered the chakra scanning as well thinking it would be useful for him. Received such a strong 'backlash' that I seriously contemplated not to do the scans for people in the future. I was accused of being negative, holier than thou attitude, pessimistic, preachy, ineffective communicator and not suitable for healing work. And because I was not considered "successful" by the person's standards (am living at home with parents), who am I to share the insights of what's not working for him. In fact, only had a chance to share one chakra.

Was so taken aback by the strongly worded negative comments, my first taste of what's it's like to be completely misunderstood, that I could not stop myself from crying. Have not cried for a very long time personally and never for healing work. Understood later that perhaps the tears were a way for my body to 'detox' the negativity emmanting from the person so that it does not stay in my body.

I've always been very conscious and careful about the words I use, my intention is always positive and because of what I've experienced in my own life, empathy is considered to be one of my greatest strength. So was very surprised by the person's reaction. The person demanded that I share the insights only if I can word it tactfully or positively. I told the person that in that case, I will not share at all. it's interesting cos' I had the person's full permission for the scan and to be honest in sharing prior to that.

It was timely that I received the following testimonial from my dearest friend Marilyn to be used for my publicity. She only speaks the truth so her testimonial is from her heart and not because I am her friend.

The Chakra Scan session with Bernadette is both insightful and healing. The insights were very meaningful and made a difference in my life immediately. Bernadette works on spiritual, emotional and physical issues and she is dedicated to assisting you harness your mind, body and health skills.

I realised that it is silly if I give up the work I do because of one person's feedback. What I'll do instead is to be even more careful and conscious of the words I use from henceforth. And trusting that I always hold people in the highest positive regards and always have the highest positive intention/ outcome for them.

Complementary Therapy

I often remind participants at my workshops and clients that Quantum-Touch is a complementary and not an alternative therapy. People need not make a choice between QT or a western doctor, QT or another energy therapy, QT or a chinese doctor etc.

It is complementary which means simply, use QT together with whatever else that can help.

We live in an age where there are countless therapies, remedies and advice that we can sought to have a wholistic healing. Doctors are not to be feared, they are important for us to get a diagnosis. It's the medication that we've got to educate ourselves more on and see if alternatives can be found for example, my British friend Beryl is an expert with natural herbs and if I need 'medication' or supplement, she'll be the one I would check with.

If a client comes to me with say bleeding in the stools, the first thing I would ask is "have you seen a doctor?" If he or she has not, I would not see him/ her either till a visit to the doctor is done. With a diagnosis, then a world of opportunities arises for treatments and remedies.

The same is also true on the other spectrum. There are some people who would just opt for western medicine and not even consider any form of natural energy therapy to complement it. I respect their model of the world, theirs is probably a medical framework. Yet at the same time, I feel it's silly because natural energy therapy can complement and accelerate the healing process.

So the next question I often get is "Does it mean then that you can cure my wife of cancer?" I would answer that I cannot cure because your wife is the healer not I. What I can do is to be a catalyst for the healing process through my QT sessions plus my affirmative work together with whatever medical treatments that she is getting. We cannot determine the outcome ie whether the person live or not (we are not the creator) but we can give the person our highest and most loving vibrations so that she can tap on our strength to boost her own. That's a good chance as any to triumph isn't it?

And at times, miracles do happen. There's a 12-year old boy in Hong Kong who was diagnosed with luekemia. I was asked to distance him and I believe there were other energy workers working on him as well. He was undergoing chemo sessions. Within weeks of me knowing about him, we received the news that he's found a bone marrow transplant donor which is excellent news. That was the intention that we sent out to the Universe. Next, we focus on building up his strength so that he can undergo the operation. Throughout the whole process, I was told that he remained extremely positive and upbeat in spite of the pain that he must be going through. In the week that I left for this month long holiday, he was strong enough to go for the operation. I hear that he is recovering well and I am very excited to met him when I am in Hong Kong in December to conduct a QT workshop. I've invited him to attend it! The doctors shared that it is a miracle that he is even alive to go through the operation. Here is a wonderful testament to how doctors plus energy work can give a person a more than 100% chance to triump. Complementary all the way, extra booster and more often than not, accelerate the healing process.

My experience and the sharing of many others have also shown that even if the outcome is that the person does pass on to another beginning, because of the QT sessions, they often feel no pain even in the final stages of say, cancer. There was a man who was diagnosed with liver cancer who till the final weeks before his passing, was happily volunteering his time to give QT sessions as well as driving himself around. How's that for quality living in spite of condition?

That's the reason why I love QT and often will speak of it with anyone. And if I know of anyone who is unwell or has someone who is unwell, I will share with them about QT as well in a gentle manner. It is my responsibility to share but not to force or push. Often, I will share briefly and then invite them to read my blog or QT website if they are interested. I respect the fact that I know and thousands all over the world know how effective QT is. But they do not yet know. The invitation is for them to accept if they choose to.

QT Anywhere and Everywhere

One of the things I love about energy work is that you can teach it anywhere in the world to anyone. No limitation of nationality, gender or age!



I flew in to Scotland on Monday and straight to my first 'international' workshop. Had 6 love-ly ladies at the workshop and we all marvelled at the fact on how energy work truly connects people from all walks of life. Imagine me, a Chinese Singaporean woman, running a workshop in Scotland which is half the world away! Amazing amazing amazing! Had my oldest participant as well, my friend Marilyn's mum in law who is 85 this year. She's so lively, witty and loving.. such positive joyous energy! She truly inspires me!

Going with the flow and a prompt, I've booked my flight to Hong Kong in December to do a QT workshop. Received a totally unexpected email from a very nice lady in Hong Kong who's interested in learning QT. Took that as a sign to go ahead and so am all set to flow.

Through energy work, I'm learning to go with the flow even more, to dare to be me more and to enJOY life more. And it gives me great joy when my participants share their success stories with me and their experiences on how their lives have changed too.

Will be flying to Manchester tomorrow for a workshop and I've a strong feeling that it's needed for my growth. Am excited, curious and must confess, a little apprehensive. I know I'll have to move out of my comfort zone even more so that always makes one uncomfortable doesn't it. Keep an open mind, learn, absorb and flow.

My Gift

I love giving presents and was thinking and cracking my head over what to gift to my participants and clients. Then I remembered, we must always tap on the resources that we have available and so I tap on my sister Yvonne's creativity. After just one day, I received an excited call from her sharing that she's got it!

First, she designed and developed my branding which you saw in the previous post and a name card for me as well incorporating my branding. The effect we would like to achieve is for people to feel happy when they see my card!

Next she proposed a gift that is so very me and highly personalised. She suggested a series of 7 postcards (one for each day of the week) that has pics that I've taken or pics that holds a meaning for me, as well as my own quotes for what makes a happy joyful life.

The result are the following 7 photos (we decided to print them as photos instead) and those of you who are keen to tap into my mind, go with me as we delight in them.

BE ABUNDANT

One evening, I was at St Patrick's Secondary School to give a presentation to a group of parents. As I was walking to the venue for the talk, I saw some straggly plants. Then I looked again cos' among them, I saw this beautiful heart-shaped plant. It affirms my absolute belief that beauty and goodness exist in all circumstances and all surroundings. We just have to look at it or sometimes, we might stumble into it.

BE FLEXIBLE

One morning, I was dreamily strolling towards my boss' home when I saw the tree beautifully framed against the blue sky. Admire. "SNAP". I continued to stroll onwards when I felt a prompt to turn back and look at the tree again. Wow! A beautiful yet totally different frame! That's reminded me that we must always be open to possibilities, to different perspectives cos' truly, that's when we allow awe to come in, to heighten what we already know and not know. Be flexible in our approach to life and in our interaction with others so as to allow greater depth of experiences.

BE HAPPY

The first time I laid eyes on my godson Joshua, my heart lept with joy. He makes me smile. He's now 2 years plus and interacting with him always makes me enjoy the wonderment of being childlike. To be curious, to explore freely and openly. No barriers. No past experiences to stop us from growing into full potential.

BE IMAGINATIVE

I was walking to a dance class when I look up and saw these lovers kissing. Do you see them?

BE LIFE

This picture was taken during one of my morning walks at the reservoir. Gorgeous isn't it? When I was preparing this gift, this picture came to mind. And to me it symbolises and drives home the message that congruency is so very essential for us to fully glow as human beings.

BE REFRESHING

My close friend Fi took this pic while we were on holiday in Sibu. It was just an ordinary action of pulping the lemon slices in our glass of Sprite. Yet when we bothered to take a closer look... Wow, the lemon slices took on a whole new perspective.

Dream Catalyst

This is my new branding that my creative sister Yvonne came up with. She also came up with a very unique gift that is meaningful, personalised and so very me that I've started to gift my participants and clients with. I'll put that up in my next post for your enjoyment.

I've often been affectionately called "teacher" by participants at my workshops, be it for corporate training or my energy work. And lately, I've also been approached by participants at my workshops to be their mentor/ teacher.

While it is is true that I teach and impart knowledge yet I prefer to see myself as a catalyst. My role is to be dream catalyst of change so that people's lives become even better. I see myself more as a catalyst cos' I am absolutely happy and delighted when a "participant" surpasses me in their gifts and they become my "teacher". A teacher is just a label that sometimes cause our egos to arise, thinking we are a level above others. We are not. We're just at a different phase of our lives where we can be a catalyst of change and transformation for some. At the same time, others are also the catalyst of change and transformation for our journey, our growth.

Thank You, My Amazing Participants!

Been wanting to blog about my awesome participants at my two Quatum-Touch workshops that I conducted recently but simply didn't have the time. It's been a crazy hectic month for me, juggling between work projects/ responsibilities (must complete them before my month long hols) and my growing QT clients plus 2 workshops. I'm a happy yet exhausted girl. Well, I have the weekend to catch up on some much needed rest and sleep so that I'll be recharged and refreshed and back to being a CHOG (as one friend affectionately called me) when I land on English soil next Monday.

Now, back to my participants. As you know, I was only planning to do one workshop over the weekend of 20/21 Sept. Yet the abundant universe opened up other opportunities cos' connections were needed for even greater abundance to flow in for all involved!

I've termed the first group as my "Woof Woof" group cos' it all started with an email from Owen, a very nice person who happens to be the owner of Best Friends Doggy & Kitty Salon cum Learning Centre who was interested in learning QT. After several correspondence and having had the pleasure of also chatting with his lovely wife Ivy, they decided to get together a group of their clients/ friends who might be interested in learning QT. Over several quick phone calls (when there's enthusiasm, there's always positive action!), they efficiently organised for me to do a preview for several of their clients who have also become friends. So off I went to their cosy shop at Telok Kurau. The first thing I noticed upon entering the shop was the gorgeous huskies. Wow!! These are all owners of huskies and I could not help but focus my attention on the dogs! Beautiful! The preview was fun and engaging as the group were curious and more importantly, not afraid to ask questions. That evening, a group of them decided to go ahead and explore this new world of energy and we quickly set dates. What's interesting is that I've been wanting to do an evening workshop for a while now, and now, it happened!

The four evenings were amazing... the participants were lively, always putting in 120% participation inspite of a full day of work and personal commitments, had a joyful enjoyment of the whole process, displayed openness to test and test and test, had the courage to ask questions, and most of all, showed so much care and concern to one another. The basis of Quantum-Touch is love and that's an emotion that was clearly evident in the woof woof group!

On a personal note, they were highly affirming and encouraging to me, as their instructor. During the workshop, I discovered new abilities that wouldn't have been possible if not for the fact that they were so sincere in their comments and feedback. During the vortex segment of the workshop, I realised that I could "see" the type of vortex that the participants created for example, a lady had a lovely dancing steams of wind that made her felt so good and alive. Another participant spun his vortex in a horizontal direction instead of vertical. Yet another participant spun his vortex and gathered a sandstorm with it. It was at this woof woof workshop that I had a prompt that one day, I might teach the advanced classes. The woof woof group became a catalyst in my journey of growth and discovery! Several of them are interested in specialising in QT for animals and I absolutely love the idea!! If you're looking for QT therapy or other services for your beloved doggy/ kitty, please contact Owen. You'll know for sure that your doggy and kitty is in good loving hands! As you know, I only recommend people (they are not paying me any referral fees at all to promote them!) that I have absolutely 100% confidence in and more importantly, feel good energetic connection with and vibes emmanting from them.

Now to my second group, the weekend group. When I first set a date for the workshop, I thought it'll just be a small group. Then as the days went by, more calls came in, more people sign up. In total, we had 16 participants and that's absolutely wonderful! I was also over the moon that my good friends got to meet each other finally! They've heard so much about each other from me but their paths never met. Love-ly!

As with the woof woof group, the participants put in their 120%, were willing to be open and ask questions to further enhance their skills and though many of them didn't know each other, they soon open their hearts to one another and seek to do their best to help one another master the techniques and to feel relief as a "client".


On a personal note, this group further affirms my passion for sharing and teaching QT! Having been a trainer for years now, it is easy for me to create a fun and engaging workshop with all the different skills that I possess. Having said that, because we are working with energy, I feel that the instructor's congruency and passion for it has to be clearly evident. We must have a passion for and love energy work. This joy and glow will shine through when both our external and internal matches. Based on the feedback from the participants, this authencity and congruency is something that I strongly exhibit at all my workshops. That's simply cos' energy work is totally aligned with my mission and purpose of being a dream catalyst and totally in sync with my values of love, fun, being light, friendship/ relationships, continuous growth and self-development.

So, a very BIG THANK YOU to all of you who were at my workshops. I believe that there's a reason for us being there and for connecting with one another. Continue to enJOY your journey of discoveries and growth. Breathe, breathe, breathe! Be ALIVE!

Trust in the Process 2

During a Quantum-Touch workshop, one of the segments which most participants even the most open and pro-QT find it challenging to believe or to truly trust in the process is that of distance healing. I must confess, when I first learnt it, I too had my doubts. My first preference was to personally see my client/ friend who I was doing a QT session for. Only if die-die can't be helped, then I will use distance.

But as I learn to trust in the process and my intuition even more and became more aware and accepted my growing abilities, I discovered that gradually I was using more and more of distance QT. And it made perfect sense for my own journey cos' with my current work and personal commitments, it would just not be possible for me to personally travel to and fro to see my clients. With distance sessions, I have greater flexibility and the time. As such, I could accept more clients' engagement and even those from overseas.

Presently, 90% of my clients are for distance sessions. The balance 10% are a mixture of both personal and distance sessions. And that's how I forsee my client base to be like as it grows even more international.

This new development also saw my belief in distance QT deepen to an absolute belief right now. I keep a client's record whereby I list what I did each session eg colour meditation, chakra scanning and balancing, the purpose for it eg to recharge the client's life force and build his/ her energetic core, the insights/ prompts that I receive eg useful for client to stay away from milk and drinks lots of healthy drinks instead eg fruit juice and the client's feedback a day/ days after the session. Because I record down meticulously, I know that the distance works time and time again!

The prompt came for me to write this post as I believe are still QT practitioners who doubt their "distance" abilities and possibilities. If us as practitioners have doubts, for certain, the clients have even more doubts. Because I now trust in the process completely, so does my clients.

My boss commented yesterday when I shared with him that 90% of my clients are distance, he was quite shocked. His reply was that my clients must have absolute faith that it works.

Yes they do!

I will be asking some of my clients to write their stories so that we too can learn from them - to be as open and trusting as them in the process.
