Testimonials:

Gabriel, Singapore

Being too engrossed in  learning golf, I went to the golfing range for 7-8 days in a row to practise my swings.  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. 

May, Hong Kong

QT is such a simple and easy to use healing method. One time, I put my hands on my friend's little girl who has spine problem since she was born. The little girl was so quiet and relaxed when I worked on her for 15 mins. Her mom was amazed and told me that her daughter would never let anyone unfamiliar touch her. Highly recommend QT to any parents to learn, a very gentle and calming healing skill for kids.

Tag, 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.

Lily, Singapore

I have insomnia for a long period. I try not to rely on sleeping pills. After Day 1 of workshop, I didn't want to sleep early so had a cup of coffee. But by 8pm, I dozed off and when I woke up, it was 8.30am the next morning!! I was amazed staring at my house with all the lights still on.  

Andrea Viders, Hong Kong

I attended Bernadette's Quantum-Touch workshop on the recommendation of friends. They told me that it was a very powerful energy modality and that they were able to use it immediately to heal people. Bernadette is an experienced trainer. She combines just the right amount of theory with hands-on learning and she's affable and warm so everyone learns and enjoys. After only one workshop I've been able to use QT for all kinds of healing and self-improvement. I highly recommend it!

The QT workshop was helpful and beneficial. Not only has it taught me how to conduct QT healing, it has also broadened my awareness on energy and how to use it to benefit my daily life. Now I use it mostly to energize or calm myself, and it works well. Also, Bernadette is very caring and she took time and effort to advise us on certain problems in our personal life when we asked.
What made it even better was attending it with my mother. Together we made this interesting learning experience, and it brought both of us to a deeper level of mutual understanding. We now have something more in common to talk about, and we can help heal each other when needed. Both of us have no regrets attending it, and we definitely recommend it.

Kenneth Lim, Principal Success Catalyst of Life-Trends.com
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!

I attended Bernadette's Quantum-Touch workshop on the recommendation of friends. They told me that it was a very powerful energy modality and that they were able to use it immediately to heal people. As I personally discovered in Bernadette's 2-day workshop, QT is all that, but it's also fun and easy to learn. Bernadette is an experienced trainer. She combines just the right amount of theory with hands-on learning and she's affable and warm so everyone learns and enjoys. Bernadette includes Chakra balancing and healing in her workshop, which is especially interesting and helpful. After only one workshop I've been able to use QT for all kinds of healing and self-improvement. I highly recommend it!

Be Choosy about Labels

Discard non useful labels, choose positive ones!

Recently, a client brought her 9 year old daughter who has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). 

During the session with this beautiful girl, we had an engaging chat about her hobbies, interests and her thoughts. 

And after the session, it was clear that this highly intelligent girl has been labelled wrongly! 

In another case, a young man came to see me for a session. One of the issues that he faced is that of procrastination which he says he had since his teenage years. Yet in our chat, we discovered that he is certainly not a procrastinator. Rather, he tend to push himself too hard to complete tasks over a period of time. After that, he finds himself not wanting to do anything and thus procrastinate. I shared with him that he is probably having a mild burnt-out from the 'overworking' thus the reluctance to do anything. You could literally see his eyes lit up with "Aha!" and everything just made sense. It was a label that his parents had given him in his teenage years and which he had accepted. He discarded that label and instead, adopted the strategies that I proposed to him so that he can have a school-life balance. It is important for him to discover this because he will be going into a highly stressful industry upon graduation. And if he is not able to maintain his well-being, it is highly likely that he will suffer burnt out. 

In our life, society, family, friends, strangers and even we ourselves often put a label on who we are. "I am a success, I am popular, I can never succeed, I am a failure, I am a depressive, I am ugly, I am clever, I can write well, I..." 

It is important for us to be truly aware of these labels and question them instead of accepting them blindly. If they are not useful ones, discard them. Keep those that are positive and life-giving to you. 

As therapists, it is also important for us to be able to look beyond the labels "he/she suffers from a terminal illness, he is beyond hope, she is a difficult client..." The label may just present us with a first layer of awareness but it is certainly, not the full story. When we are able to keep an open mind and attitude, that is when we are truly able to uncover and discover more so that we can be catalysts of transformation to our clients.
 

Recharge and Energise Your Child

For several years of my life, one of my roles was that of a family life educator and I thoroughly enjoyed interacting with parents during the parenting workshops that I conducted. The two concerns that surface again and again is that of (1) how to nurture their child's potential and (2) how to enhance their child's well-being. 

At that time, I was not trained yet in energy modalities and as such, I could only offer suggestions and insights which focused on concern #1. 

Now, I have other tools in my toolbox, I have developed the Recharge and Energise Your Child Workshop to equip parents with tools and strategies to address both concerns!

Sunday 29 July 2012

Contribution: $128 (includes brunch at Torte)

If you would like to organise a private class to suit your schedule for you and your family/ friends, please contact us too. (Minimum of 10 participants for private class). 

Recharge Yourself

"I am so tired", "My body aches", "I feel so stressed", "there's endless work"... common complaints by lots of people. And that is why, it is important and useful for us to find ways to recharge ourselves.

People often mistakenly think that healing sessions are only for those who are ill, in pain or in trouble. Actually, lots of clients who enjoy good health and happy lives know that having recharging sessions once a month to rejuvenate and for maintenance is essential to continued well-being physically, mentally and emotionally.

Besides doing self-healing for myself, I too pamper myself once a month with a recharge session by one of my fellow therapists. Why not? Our well-being is important isn't it?

Against all odds and opinions

For my clients who have faced or are facing negative opinions and challenges. Keep believing. Explore options. Above all, continue to do your best. This post is for you.

***

As long as we have life's breath, there is hope. I truly believe this and I encourage my clients and their family members to remain positive in their healing journey in spite of what the medical results or situations may be.

As long as we have life's breath, we do our very best. And many times, I have witnessed the joy of 'miracles' where seemingly hopeless situations change, where there life remains in spite of the slim chance of recovery, where continuous unfolding of goodness prevails...

We can listen to people's opinions. We do not have to buy into their opinions.

Choose the options that give you hope and allow you to do your best. Surround yourself with positive people and materials.

Choose the options that are healing and positive. Never think that you have no choice or only one choice. Read more and find out more before making a decision.

Choose the options that are customised for you. You are unique. So your healing journey is unique too.

Wishing you strength, courage and joy as you continue on your journey. And may new goodness and catalysts of change continue to flow into your life. :)

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!

Birthday present

A client turned friend decided that she would get her mum a distance healing session as a birthday gift besides giving her the usual red packet. To her, the gift of the session is meaningful and beneficial as it will help to maintain the well-being of her mum. Since my sessions include both physical as well as mental and emotional well-being, it is enhanced wellness on all levels. Wonderful way to kickstart another birthyear! And with distance healing, it is so very convenient because the client can continue with his or her activities without having to see me so no disruption to schedule or the need to travel to a venue. And it also means that the client can be anywhere in Singapore or in the world. This is why clients often purchase such sessions as gifts for their loved ones. It is certainly a lovely gift to receive, isn't it? :)

Savour Your Glass of Water

Was chatting with a dear friend yesterday and we came to the topic of water.

She reminded me that our ability to drink water is a joyous moment. Unfortunately, it has become a task or action that most people take for granted or in many cases, neglected. We are not drinking enough water and even when we do, we tend to gulp it down quickly and efficiently.

How about savouring your water for a difference?

Take a sip of water and as you swallow, imagine or visualise your body cells happily receiving this gift of life. You could hear your cells going "yes yes yes".

Take the next sip, enjoy the sensation of the water and again, visualise your cells being nourished. Continue to do this till you finish drinking your glass of water. Yes, it does take a little more time but the bonus benefit is that when you do this exercise, you are naturally in a being state. Besides hydrating your body, you are also resting your mind and body for those few mins.

For those of you who are energy trained, you can charge your water first before drinking it.

Btw, came across this article on Drink Water to Lose Weight. :)

Dream Catalyst

As you would have read, I've registered a company called Dream Catalyst. A friend is currently helping to set up a website for me. In the meantime, I'm using this blog to list the workshops and private sessions that we're offering.

Th eagle-eyed among you would have noticed the "we" term. *BIG GRIN* Well, my dream is to build and grow a catalyst network of like-minded people (this means providing service with integrity and heart!) to provide clients with effective tools and resources to achieve emotional, physical and mental well-being.

Here are the private sessions currently offered:

Wellness & Rejuvenation (60 mins)
If you are suffering from physical aches, emotional pain or an ailment, this wellness and rejuvenation session will help to accelerate your healing process. Some of the clients we have worked with suffered from insomnia, back aches, cervical spondylosis, skin condition, leukemia, cancer, dementia, sprains/ fractures, severe migraines, stress, depression. At the same time, the session is beneficial for pre- and post-surgery care for a speedy recovery.

Ping, Hong Kong
I have been working on anger issues for over a year; very intensively for the past three months. The more issues I resolved, the more issues came up. On one hand, I'm happy that I can let go of a lot stuff; on the other hand, it's a struggle and very frustrating for me, and painful for family members who have been my victims. Bernadette identified the core issue and cut the cord linked to undesired emotions within one private session. 45 minutes ended my long time agony.

Wei Lee, Singapore
I was quite skeptical about energy healing when I initially learnt of it. During this period when I fell ill with abnormal numbness in my arms and fingers; I was re-introduced to this again by a friend and was treated by Bernadette. Through this tremendous treatment and healing result, I am deeply convinced that the sessions can really help in many forms of discomfort a person experiences in his/ her life. I would definitely recommend this to any person and friends for complementary treatments for their illness.

Tag, 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. At the same time, I also believe that the sessions you did for my grandpa prior to his surgery resulted in his speedy recovery!

Wellness & Joy (60 mins)
For the busy individuals, the Wellness & Joy session relaxes and recharges you. Depending on personal needs, a session once every few months or even monthly for continued well-being have proven restorative for clients.

SG, Singapore
I feel recharged and energised after the sessions, an effective way to relax and chill.

Wellness & Love (60 mins)
For clients looking to further enhance their relationships with loved ones, the Wellness and Love session provides a catalyst for new beginnings and better relationships.

Theresa Chee, Singapore
3 days after session: I chatted with my mom for half an hour harmoniously. This has never happened before. I enjoyed the chat. Thank you very much, Bernie. I am very thankful and glad that I saw you.

2 months after session: Wonderful relationship. Loving communication. Just the opposite response from before clearing. No words to describe except magic. It happened instantly and naturally. Everything falls into place by itself.

Distance Healing Sessions (45 mins)
For clients with hectic schedules or are not based in Singapore, the sessions can be done through distance healing.

How this works:

• Contact us at 9272 9476 or bernadette@thedreamcatalyst.com to fix an appointment as well as to discuss the outcome for the sessions.

My parents are so much better. My dad who has dementia is now peaceful and calm, no more “naggie” mom...so good are the vibes that my younger daughter (especially) and older daughter stayed the whole day on Saturday (10am to 11.30pm) without fussing!!

Hi Bernadette

How time flies…. It’s been just over a full year since I attended your Quantum Touch certification course in January 2009. But I wanted to share my experiences with Quantum-Touch (QT) in the months that came after.

When I first started out, it was hard to incorporate QT in my daily life. It took lots of practice to keep the breathing right, and my family were (still are) are quite skeptical. So I ended up using QT for my work life almost exclusively.

It was on and off, for a long time. They say it takes 14 days to form a habit but only if it’s 14 days straight! I worked at it and finally got into the habit of QTing before I went in to work.

As I do the overnight shift most often, I QTed for loads of calls to help me meet my work targets. I also QTed for good calls, so I wouldn’t get so stressed out (I work in a call centre). After a while, I realised this was exactly what I was getting. I would be pretty busy, but I wouldn’t FEEL busy. The calls would come in quickly, and end quickly, with no real problem customers or issues emerging. It was great! This continued for about 3-4 months.

Then in September 2009, for various reasons, I was motivated to produce a less-busy shift. Now I QTed for a good shift, and an easy one at that. It took a while, too, for me to realise that woohoo! It was working! It’s been good and easy shifts for the last 4 months or so and now if I don’tQT before my shift starts, I feel uneasy. Sometimes, I wonder if it’s my imagination…. But I also have to share that on my off days, my colleagues seem
busier. So I can only suspect that when I QT for a good and easy shift, the energy flows and encompasses my colleagues on that day too. Interesting thought, yes?

By the way, for those that are statistically inclined, the busier shifts saw me taking about 35 to 45 calls on average, per shift. Now, when I QT for an easier shift, I do an average of 20 – 30 calls only. It’s a significant shift volume-wise.

I just wanted to let you know that QT seems to have worked in a small but very significant way for me. The QT website shares loads of examples on life-changing health or emotional issues. But the small things matter too. Perhaps your other QT graduates may find this an useful example?

All the best!

You can also read the QT website for more healing stories.

For those of you looking to feel a difference this new year, join us for my next workshop on the weekend of 20/ 21 March 2010. Give me a call at 92729476 or email me at bernadettecsy@gmail.com if you would like more details or to register for the workshop.

Enhancing life force energy

I've been decluttering for the past week and thought to pamper my body for the hard work. :) :) :) So I popped by to My Foot Reflexology for a upper body massage.

They have been around since 1996 but it was my first visit to the place. The concept of My Foot Reflexology is to provide a place for relaxation, fully serviced by the handicapped. My therapist D was friendly and very good at what he does.

About 30 mins into my massage session, he asked me what I do for a living. When I shared with him my passion for energy work, his reply was: "Ahhhh, now I understand". Apparently, as he was working on me, he was puzzled as to why the 'texture' of my muscles etc was so very 'different' from all the customers he has worked on. He felt that my level of "qi" or life force energy is very high.

D's sharing reinforced the benefits of running energy to further enhance one's life force energy. Since I started energy work, my health has improved and I feel very good. My life is also abundantly different. But it takes discipline. I made a conscious decision to incorporate self-healing sessions into my daily life. And now, I also make time for myself to recharge even though I am "running energy" for others almost everyday.

So for those of you seeking to improve your well-being and are already energy trained, make time for self-healing sessions. Even a short session of 5 mins a day will bring about beneficial changes!

Feeling stressed? Aches & Pains? Looking for a natural way to feel better? Not feeling your optimal best?

In our fast-paced lifestyle and in the current economic situation, it is common for us to feel stressed or to suffer from aches and pains, often in silence, from our numerous activities.

Discover at a live Basic Quantum-Touch Workshop, your innate yet powerful ability to help yourself and others through the Quantum-Touch techniques - to feel better, look better and be healthier.


Learning Quantum-Touch will enable you to:
• Manage stress more effectively
• Relieve headaches, migraines and carpal tunnel syndrome
• Alleviate neck pain, back pain and sciatica
• Accelerate the healing process of numerous kinds of ailments
• Rejuvenate and bring about total wellness

It is an engaging and interactive workshop with activities, sharing and demonstrations so that by the end of the workshop, you will be totally confident in using this new skill.

Anyone and everyone can easily learn and pick up the techniques! I have taught QT workshops in Singapore, Hong Kong and Scotland. My youngest participant is Donovan who is 10 years old while my oldest participant is Frances who is 85 years old.


Group workshops are held monthly, please contact me or check my blog for the dates. If you would like to organise your own class to suit your schedule, contact me to book dates (a minimum of just 2 participants are required).

Healing Sessions

To cater to a growing number of clients for private sessions, I have been looking for (and manifesting) a conducive environment with healing and beautiful energy. Finally! Found the perfect treatment room at my friend Saratha's (btw, she's an excellent physiotherapist for those of you who are looking for one!) practice.

So starting from June 2009, for those of you who prefer face-to-face sessions with me, you can do so every Tuesday or Thursday at The Physiolink (#01-01 Kingston Terrace, 14D Jalan Masid) which is just 5 mins' walk from Kembangan MRT. Sessions by appointment (consultation hours: 9am to 8pm).

For those of you who have a hectic schedule, sessions can also be done through distance healing and skype/ phone consultations.

Private Sessions:

Chakra Scan and Energetic Enhancement Sessions: This 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.

Private Sessions for Emotional and Physical Well Being: These sessions are excellent for those looking to further enhance their emotional and/ or physical well-being. Clients include busy executives, those going through a emotionally stressful period and those with chronic aches and pains.

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!

QT Heals!

Received the following email from one of the participants at our last Quantum-Touch workshop. I've named her Grace cos' she truly emanates grace. Read it and you'll understand why her email lifted our spirits!

Hi Yvonne and everyone,


Today I saw my doctor to get the results of my Brain CT and PET scan. Great news is that the brain CT is clear and the PET scan didn't light up my spleen. This is amazing news and quite unexpected as the CT scan showed definate multiple spots a month ago. I thought I was definately under the knife this week and if I wasn't then it is because they have found multiple tumours elsewhere. For those of you that don't know what a PET scan is, it is a machine that detects tumours ofter they have injected you with this stuff from nuclear medicine. You wait for it to be taken up by the tumours (about an hour) then they scan you which usually takes about 15-20min in the machine. All increased activity (usually tumours) unless too small to detect lights up. My lung tumours still lit up but they have been stable for the last 15mths and didn't light up as much they did two years ago. I'll be back in Sydney in 3mths for a CT review.

Grace
