As healers, I think it is healthy for us to balance the serious nature of our work with a lighter side of life. Preparing meals has become for me, a delightful way to use this tool in a lighter manner.
Meals cooked with lo
ve do taste so very different doesn't it? And when you whizzy whazzy them either during the preparation process (if you are the cook) or before enjoying them, it is an added bonus and boost to the food.
I am an avid reader of cookbooks and recipes and I enjoy cooking. If I come across a recipe that looks complex or I am not familiar with, I will send energy to the food when I am preparing it. Ensures that it will taste yummy! :)

t happened last evening when my friend wanted a lamb moussaka and I have never done it before. In general, I tend to avoid recipes if there are too many steps in it. Keep it simple, my motto. Took up the challenge and while cooking, sent energy to the food (and to myself to stay calm cos' we were behind schedule). My friend and her hubby absolutely enjoyed it!
When you practice energy
healing in your daily life, you will also notice that soon, your body will start letting you know what it prefers. Listen to it. I used to enjoy fried food but now, they do not taste tasty to me. And when I am out at a restaurant, I will feel through a menu and see which item calls out to me. Doing it this way (than to see what's recommended) has often ended with choices that were surprising but absolutely delicious and agreeable to my body. 
Before enjoying a meal, I will do a gratitude prayer and at the same time, energise my food. I encourage my graduates to adopt this good habit, it is an application of the tool that requires minimal effort and time yet very beneficial.
We have become so good at multitasking that we do it even at meal times. If you have made it a habit to energise your food, then take the time to enjoy your meal. Allow your body to enjoy it. :)
Woke up this morning to a different view than the usual one of flats at Bedok. I am back in a land I love very much, Scotland.
I was here in November last year and planned to be back again sometime in Spring or Summer. This impromptu trip was not expected but I am glad to be here.
Change. Possibilities. Flow.
The inevitable changing landscape of life. Yet with every change, embracing a positive mindset and heart allows us to cope with the differences that each landscape brings with it. A stormy one isn't the most enjoyable yet often, we discover mechanisms for shelter and growth. To face our fears and allow hope to dissolve them. To expand our knowledge and utilise tools of transformation. To see beyond the storms and look forward to the change it heralds.

We need both the rain and sunshine to form magnificent rainbows. Am reminded so clearly of this over the weekend.
Bites the hand that feeds ~ I had my first experience of what it felt like to be bitten. After the initial shock, it became a useful learning experience. I was able to stay calm and not get drawn into the drama that the person was creating. In spite of the person's torrent of accusations and venting, I could stay neutral and saw no need to defend myself. My conscience was clear. The blessing was that it was not a family member or friend so the wound was not as deep.
In the past, I would have been sad, hurt, angry and indignant. But I have learnt that those are toxic emotions that would just heightened and prolonged the drama. Embracing my friend's advice from years back "it is okay to be misunderstood" allowed me to stay centred.
By letting go of the toxic emotions, it let me move past the 'unhappy' event. And to continue with my happy flow and hence, allowed the unfolding of goodness.
Yesterday, beautiful rainbows appeared. Had a lovely session with a client in the morning that reaffirmed just how glad I am to be given this opportunity to walk this healing path. Had good conversations with friends that further enhanced my learning. While at my friends' shop, had a 'chance' meeting with a calligraphy teacher whom I respect and he presented me with a surprise gift of a calligraphy he did of the word 'dragon'. Perfect for this year and perfect for my life for I love dragons. Then, I received a FB message from class 95 informing me that I had won a contest that I joined. And in the evening, I had lovely bonding time with my dad over spring-cleaning and Korean drama.
If I had chose to focus on the unhappy event and allowed myself to be affected by it, I am pretty certain that I would not have enjoyed the rainbows. Because I would have been wrapped in my cocoon of misery and missed them.
May you too, enjoy the rainbows in your life. :)
