Recharge Talk: Following Your Bliss

Stay in the flow

About two weeks ago, I headed for a much needed holiday to heal, reflect and recharge. The plan was to chill out at my friend's rented beach hut at the Ocean Marina Yacht Club in Pattay before heading to visit my friends in Bangkok.

Following an intuition and my friend's advice, I booked a one way ticket so that I would have greater flexibility for staying longer if I wished to.

6 days of chilled out bliss; leisurely breakfasts, laps in the pool, pampering for the body with skilled massages, quiet time, good conversations...

Also connected with a new friend and this is where the magic of being and staying in the flow happens. She wanted to experience my workshops and so, I ended my holiday with an impromptu workshop. At same time, she also invited me to be a contributor for her monthly e-magazine that will be launched in a few months' time. I have always wanted a column of my own and now I do! And I will also be back to conduct more workshops in Thailand.

So what started as a chilled out holiday became that and more. New doors opened and new adventure awaits. I am in full appreciation of this unfolding of goodness.

Be open. Stay in the flow.
When one day ends, another begins.
And what a difference a day can make.

Recharge & Energise

Our human body consists of energy fields that can be stimulated through various techniques in order to promote wellness. The concept of energy fields as a vital life force can be traced back to the oldest medical systems and is known as Qi in China, Ki in Japan, and Prana in India. Keeping our body's energy in a balanced state is the key to maintaining health.

The Recharge workshops teach you techniques for achieving this balance, allowing you to enJOY a greater sense of energy and well being.

RECHARGE & ENERGISE WORKSHOP

In this interactive workshop, you will learn a series of breathing and visualization exercises that will help you to balance and restore your body’s flow of energy. After the workshop, you can use these exercises to further enhance your well-being.

Compassion

When I met my friend Val in 2008, I was very inspired by her courage and compassion to start a charity to help complete strangers miles away from home. As such, I shared with her that I will do my best to support her charity as well. And that when my book is published, I will also dedicate part of the proceeds to her charity.

2 years on and my dream was realised in Nov last year. And this Sat will be the the launch of my book.

May more abundance flow in to her charity for her and her team to continue their love-filled work. :)

You're invited!

Distance healing

Last week, I told a friend who is based overseas that I will be sending her distance healing sometime in the week. On Wed, when I completed the session, I dropped her an email that I have done it.

In the past when I did face to face treatments for this friend, she gets a tingly feeling running down her leg. Different clients will experience different sensations during a treatment ranging from warmth, heat, tingly feeling, movements...

This is her reply to my email:

I had just come through from bedroom to check emails after doing my Ipod meditations and had that tingling down arm and leg ~ then I saw your email that you had just finished and wondered if that was it!

Yes, distance healing works. Clients receive the full benefits of the session and for some, they can also feel sensations for example, in my friend's case.

With distance healing, clients can receive help anywhere in the world. As therapists, we are certainly in full appreciation of this very useful tool!

Aging with dignity

My maternal grandma is 103 years old. In spite of her age, she has always been highly independent and mobile. Able to walk, feed herself and bathe herself etc.

About a week plus ago, she had a fall. She did not want to go to the hospital and the family felt that there was nothing much the doctors could do for her legs. So instead, we took care of her and did energy healing sessions for her.

The pain went away quite quickly and she is up and about. However, the fall took away her mobility ability; she is unable to walk or to go to the toilet by herself. One of us will lift her from her bed to the wheelchair so that she can watch TV in the living room, enjoy her meals, chat with us, or go to the toilet. We also bought a portable loo for the times when she isn't able to 'control' for the distance to the toilet.

We know that it isn't easy for my grandma to lose this independence (she was cooking delicious food up to the age of 80+). Who would?

One afternoon, after I have cleaned her after she has used the portable loo, she told me in dialect: "I am so sorry that you have to do all these for me when you visit me."

My heart broke when I heard that. But I smiled and reassured her that I am happy to be able to help her. She has done so much for us and it is just a small thing.

Dignity. Love. Care.

We ease her feeling of lost dignity with our reassurances of love and care. We also ensure that we give her opportunities to do certain things by herself for example, when we bathe her, we will let her wash her face by herself. We attend to her with appreciation, love and respect in our heart. And I trust that she will feel our heart energy and that it soothe her.

Kudos to my mummy, daddy, uncle and sis who are my grandma's primary caregivers. It isn't easy being a caregiver and they inspire me with their patience and love.
