Practice to grow your abilities 2

I wrote about the four stages of competence, to practice to grow your abilities, to follow and trust in your intuition and abilities and to trust in the process especially when you meet challenging clients.

Just thought I'll share some new discoveries I've made about myself to encourage and affirm those of you who are either new to QT/ healing modalities or are on the cusp of wonderful new/ self-discoveries.

When I first started to dabble occasionally in QT, my skill was at its most basic. More often than not, I believe it's my basic intention of universal love (love is the basis of QT!) that facilitated a shift in my clients. When I fell in love with QT and disciplined myself to practice, that's when I experienced an exponential growth in my skill and abilities. X amount of practice = X amount of growth.

I've to confess that on the onset, I have to discipline myself because I do get bored sitting there for 30 to 40 mins working on my client. For those who know me personally, I see them nodding their heads in agreement for they know that I'm a buzzing doing person. When I got over the tedium of just being, that's when the joy and fun began! I started to explore, to "play", and have fun. Because I've mastered the basic techniques, I was able to then use advance techniques and blend modalities as well.

Because I practice and practice (I do QT daily for myself and others. I also make it a point to move out of my comfort zone and test out different techniques each time.), rid myself of limiting beliefs/ crap and started to follow and trust in my intuition, I allowed the manifestion of my gifts. That's aligned to the insights shared by the UK intuitive lady about QT and me, that "I've such an ability and talent and that I'm a natural at this". Her sharing was a catalyst for my exponential growth cos' I started to trust in my ability even more. Synchronicity and flow at work. Pygmalion effect at work. All good.

One exponential growth is from not being able to even spin my own chakras (yup, they were that blocked at that time!!!) to being able to spin and balance/ clear my chakras to being able to spin my clients' chakras to being able to scan/ balance my clients chakras. Now I can even scan remotely and without having to know how they look like or know them personally. The insights/ prompts/ images from being generalised as in "it's blocked etc" are also getting more precise. For example, when I was scanning a lady (who I just met for the 2nd time socially) and I came to her third eye, I shared that " it appears she prefers not to use it for whatever reason." She clarified and ask if it's not spinning and I shared that it is flowing vibrantly just that she prefers not to use it. I was certain of my exact choice of words. She paused and then shared that yes indeed, she doesn't like to use her third eye cos' it's always accurate.

And last Sat, while I was at my good friends Gabriel and Karen's place, I did a chakra scan for my cute godson. When I came to his 3rd chakra (tummy area), I saw some discordent energetic flow, black spots. So I asked his mum if he has any problems with his tummy. He didn't. Received an sms on Thursday that he came down with tummy upset/ tummy flu. Hmmmm....

So take heart, practice, continue your journey and most importantly, enJOY the journey. Forget about competing with someone else (she/ he can do that, I must do that too!) or berating yourself (why I can't see colours, why I can't spin my chakras, why I so stupid blah blah blah). Energy work stems from positivity. Positivity begins with your own mindset, frame of reference, beliefs and actions.

enJOY!

Wallowing in Abundance

I chanced upon this beautiful surreal sight during one of my morning walks.

I've titled it "Reflected Connectedness"

Been wanting to post but couldn't find the space or frame to write. Do you remember my post on me feeling a positive shift in my reality?

Well, things have been happening at such a fast speed that each day I leap out of bed excited to be thrilled by the abundance it'll bring. I'm constantly grateful, in awe and amazed! Here are few exciting and abundant happenings:

• An unexpected increase in number of clients who signed on packages and I'm getting queries almost every day on treatments/ sessions.
• As for my upcoming QT workshop in Sept, I've been getting queries and sign-ups everyday since last week
• Yesterday, the owner of a training venue (I'm not naming him yet cos' I've not checked with him if he would like to be "publicised".) generously offered me usage of his venue including projector. What this means is that I can now offer better discounts to those who need it and invite people (with financial constraints) to attend for free. I could not do that initially cos' my parents' home is too small to host too big a group.
• I discovered that I can now scan people's chakras remotely/ distance and I do not even have to know them for eg they can be friends of a friend. My intuitive insights are also getting stronger, even more accurate and precise.
• I am also achieving amazing results together with my clients (this is important cos' client and therapist work hand in hand to achieve outcomes) and getting even better at what I do.
• More work projects and opportunities are coming up for my company which is excellent cos' my boss is truly a nice person and I'm happy that we're going to do even better. For me personally, I love new projects and thrive best in a diverse creating environment. :)
• Even on my personal front, I'm meeting wonderful new people everyday

The reason why I am sharing with you is just to affirm that life does get better. It hasn't always been easy and I've faced my fair share of dark nights of the soul. BUT life gets better when you choose to consciously make it so and work on ridding yourself of non useful limiting beliefs.

My lovely friend Marilyn shared this with me a couple of days ago: "I was just smiling and thinking how the flow is working even better for you as you are accepting and allowing the energy ($) to come to you now, its as if the universe is saying AT LAST! now I'll do even more for you!"

And that's so true! Up till last week, I still had remnants of "feeling bad about charging for my services especially if they're friends". Now that's an issue for me cos' I do consider most people I meet as "friends". If they start out as complete strangers and I start treatment for them, then eventually they become friends too and I feel bad once again charging them for my services. See how this could be non useful for me? Cos' I feel bad to charge, my friends feel bad to ask me for further help and thus they don't get to benefit from my sessions etc.

Then a defining moment came two weeks ago. I was at dinner with a friend when she shared with me about a health concern that she's currently facing. This lovely close friend is QT-trained yet I know that she's so busy with work and caring for others that she probably will not spend the time needed to care for herself. As such, I went with my intuition and flow and asked her to consider getting QT sessions from me weekly (a package of 4 sessions) before she goes for next medical checkup. I must confess, I still felt bad at that point about charging so I told her she can pay small token fee cos' I know she wouldn't agree to free sessions.

My friend was absolutely delighted with the suggestion, it hasn't even occurred to her! What's also wonderful is that she will complement my weekly session with short daily sessions thus a kick start to her practicing QT again. She graciously accepted a discount but not the token fee, reminding me that I have to rid myself of this totally non useful belief or discomfort. I graciously accepted that I needed to change and comfortably embraced the abundance. We're both excited for her to go for her medical check up because we are certain that her results will be excellent!

Two days after that defining moment, another friend called seeking treatments (long term too) and because I was totally comfortable with discussing about fees that's win-win for both, she happily took up the sessions. I realised later that she wouldn't have engaged me otherwise cos' she sees the sessions as a business engagement, payment in return for services rendered.

Three days after that defining moment, another friend called seeking treatments (long term too) and... you know the rest of the story.

Four days after that defining moment, enquires and sign-ups started to come in for my Sept workshop.

My shift in mindset is critical and important in my own journey. Without the shift, my friends cum clients wouldn't have benefitted from my sessions otherwise. The results we're experiencing are amazing. I'm grateful to have experienced this shift.

I am not suggesting that we've to become cash-focused. Rather, to become abundance-focused and to recognise that by that, it also means allowing abundance to flow into your life too and not just others! We can continue to share abundance for example, for my long term clients, I surprise them with gift sessions ie charge them for 3 instead of 4. Or send them extra short booster sessions etc. Or use the abundance to benefit others like that aunty or uncle selling tissue paper.

Abundance for you and others.

Erectile Dysfunction

One of the areas that I believe Quantum-Touch can help with is that of erectile dysfunction. And it's an area where I feel that I'll be effective at. Similar to emotional release.

At the same time, it is also a sensitive topic and a potentially awkward session for both the client and me, the therapist.

In the past week, I have been doing distance QT for some of my clients and the results have been simply astounding. I know that distance QT works. At the same time, I tend to offer it only to those who are already familiar with QT cos' new clients tend to be skeptical about distance/ remote QT.

But an hour ago while buzzing with friends, it struck me that I can offer clients with erectile dysfunction issues distance QT sessions so it reduces the awkwardness. I don't even have to know how they look like! It works on an element of trust and an openness on the client's part.

So if this is an issue that you're challenged with or you've a friend who needs help in this area, email me and we'll take it from there.

Abundance Indeed!

On Monday, I talked about importance of having an abundant mentality and how I have streamlined my focus to grow my QT business. To concentrate on providing my services in areas where I am highly effective at and to recommend other QT therapists to clients who needs other expertise.

One of my areas of strength is working on emotional release - on clients who have emotional issues or who have physical pain that is linked to an emotional issue.

Interestingly, in the last 24 hours, I've two new clients who have signed up for packaged sessions and all dealing with emotional release / distress. I feel honoured to be given this opportunity to be a catalyst in their healing process.

Increase Your Sensory Acuity

In a general way sensory acuity means how good your senses are at doing what they should do. In the context of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), it refers to the ability to use our senses to make accurate observations about ourselves or other people.

NLP recommends looking at eye movements, changes in skin colour and breathing, and postures in order to get information about what is happening to other people.

Over the years, I've spent considerable time improving and further enhancing my sensory acuity so that I can be better at what I do, be it as a coach, a mentor, a trainer, a therapist, a lecturer and in my day-to-day interactions with the people around me. My friends, students, clients and acquaintances often comment that they love talking to me, love attending my workshops or enjoy my sessions because I often know what they're thinking and feeling! Errr... I'm not God so I can't read minds in the pure sense of the term. But I believe that I appear that way because of my sensory acuity ability as well as in recent times, trusting in my intuitive abilities.

To start improving your sensory acuity, one way is to start listening more, observing more and talking less! That's why we have two ears, two eyes BUT one mouth - use it in the right order! LOL.

Another way is to consciously be observant as you go through your day. Did you see that lady with the red umbrella smiling at the little girl or were you too busy grumbling about the weather? Did you notice that beautiful rainbow spanning across the sky or were you too busy thinking about that client that is stressing you out? Did you notice the sudden relaxation of your client's muscles or wer you too busy worrying about the effect of your QTing?

The other morning, I was dreamily happily walking to my boss' home when I saw this sight. So nicely framed that I had to stop, admire and then take a pic.



Then I continued walking but on an impulse, decided to glance back and I saw this sight. Same tree, different perspective. Awesome isn't it?

Stay Humorous and Light-hearted

Sometimes when I am doing QT session for a client/ friend, unexpected reactions or situations pop up. In such moments, it is useful to keep your sense of humour and stay light hearted.

Let me share an example of a recent experience which could have turned embarassing but didn't.

I was having drinks with a friend when he shared that he often has severe back aches and in fact was feeling lousy then. Naturally, I offered to QT him there and then. I asked him to stand in front of me facing the table while I QT his back. I was on a high stool so very comfortable and convenient position (remember, as therapists our positions must be comfortable too!! Please do not forget this important point!!!).

He's new to QT and so I was explaining to him how it works etc. After QTing him for about 10 mins, he went "oops". I was concerned and immediately checked if he's ok. He says he's feeling a funny sensation, he was (the alcohol must have given him courage or loosen his tongue. LOL) having an erection.

Now, what would your reaction be? You can choose to go "phweeeh", "oh", "be embarassed" or...

For me, felt neither of those emotions cos' an erection is a normal bodily occurrence. Besides, I know he wasn't trying to be funny, neither did he mean it in a lewd way. So I smiled and continued to QT him. When he saw that I was totally comfortable, he smiled and let it be as well. No awkwardness at all.

Having said that, please dear ladies, when you are QTing a man and a complete stranger at that, do create a safe environment for yourself. If I am at his home, I always ensure that another family member is around and I leave the "treatment room's" door open. Or do it at the TV area.If you are a male therapist, I am sure you know this also applies to you too!

Passion. Glow.

Last Saturday, I met up with a group of ladies for drinks after work. It's been a long exhausting week and frankly, I would have much preferred to head home straight after the training session. But my schedule's so packed for these couple of weeks that if not that Sat, it might be in Sept. So I met up with them.

One of them had a back ache and so naturally, I offered to QT her. They're new to QT and so I had fun sharing with them about it. I offered to scan their chakras for intuitive insights and that was an interesting experience. I QTed 2 of them and scanned all 4 ladies. And as I knew it would, my fatigue and exhuastion fled after the QT.

Now, their feedback to me is interesting as well. Apparently, when I was QTing them and doing the chakra scanning, I had a glow on my face. It is evident to them that it is something I enjoy! I know I enjoy it, just didn't realise that my face glows!

It's the same joy I feel when I am writing for this blog or when I am answering an email from a QT graduate who wants to know more or have queries. It's the same joy I feel when I'm facilitating a QT workshop.

Passion. Glow.

Shift in Reality

A couple of weeks back, during a meditative QT session, I felt a "shift in my reality". It felt like patterns were broken and the emergence of new trends in my life. The feeling is getting stronger and it feels good so I'm going to wallow in it!

Abundance Mentality

Abundance mentality is a lovely way of life, a mindset and attitude of generosity and giving. It is benchmark that we, especially if we're passionate about energy work, can strive towards. It is a frame of mind in which a person believes there is "enough for everyone".

Abundance mentality is a principle and value that I've used as a guide to help me be an even better and congruent person. For a positive self-journey of growth.

Yesterday, it struck me that I can also apply this value to my QT practice and share abundance. Over time, I've gotten a sense of the type of "ailments" that I am more effective in treating. So what I've decided to do is to only see clients who are looking for therapy in these areas. If a client calls seeking treatment for an ailment that isn't within these areas, I will recommend him to another fellow QT therapist who may have more experience or expertise in this area. Share abundance for both that therapist and the client.

And this is why, if you're a regular to this blog, you would have noticed that I've listed the therapy sessions that I'm now offering. Streamlined for greater flow of abundance to myself and others around me.

Practice to grow your abilities

In psychology, the four stages of competence relate to the psychological states involved in the process of progressing from incompetence to competence in a skill:

1. Unconscious incompetence
The individual neither understands or knows how to do something, nor recognizes the deficit or has a desire to address it.

2. Conscious incompetence
Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, he or she does recognize the deficit, without yet addressing it.

3. Conscious competence
The individual understands or knows how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires a great deal of consciousness or concentration.

4. Unconscious competence
The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it becomes "second nature" and can be performed easily (often without concentrating too deeply). He or she can also teach it to others.

~~~~

Quantum-Touch is a skill and therefore, practice is needed for one to reach the stage 4 ie unconscious competence where it becomes "second nature" that you can tap onto it easily, confidently and naturally. Just like riding a bicycle. Just like skiing. Just like salsa dancing. Just like about any other skill that you have learnt.

The bonus for your discipline in practicing what you have learnt at the QT workshop, through the books or the video workshop is that you will start to discover even more abilities. For example, you may start to see colours or auras. You may discover that you have a knack for working with bones. You start to perceive energy. Or in my case, my intuitive abilities became stronger.

At my very first workshop, during the chakra exercise, I was really stressed because I could not feel my chakra nor imagine it spinning. In fact, I opted out of the sun star exercise! That was in end of 2005. Now, 2 1/1 years later, I am able to spin and clear my clients' chakras as well as scan the chakras for intuitive insights that have proven beneficial for my clients.

And when I am QTing a client, I often receive insights and messages which my clients have found useful to further enhance their journey towards greater well-being.

In my conversations with QT graduates, this same pattern crops up again and again. The ones who practice and use QT in their daily lives either for themselves or others often discover new abilities or gain new insights that have further enhanced their lives. As for those who learnt QT and kept it as pure head knowledge, well it remained as an untapped skill.

The good news is once you've learnt it, you will not forget it. Once you start to practice, it will come easily to you once more. Just like it was at the workshop when you were working on a fellow participant, you will once again feel a sense of awe, wonderment and joy at this gift!

Energetic Facials

I just love facials, don't you? They relaxes you, energises you and makes you look totally glowing and radiant. What's there not to like?

Two weeks ago, decided that I'll experiment with giving myself a weekly energetic facial right after my daily dosage of the 12 colours meditation.

After completing the meditation, I continue by (using Core) layering and smoothing a "mask" over my face. The mask is made of beautiful strands of copper, silver and gold. When the mask is completed, I then place the Unan symbol over my face and QT myself. In between, I'll also QT my head and hair (might as well go for the full beauty makeover.

Feels real good and it's working too. My skin looks even better (that's to counter those who feels I have good skin to being with *grins*), my pores seem to be getting smaller and I'm generally glowing based on the feedback that I've received. And that's great cos' apparently, the effects of a lack of sleep and general busyness is not showing.

Test it out and enjoy pampering yourself. We all need personal pampering time to recharge.
