Coaching + Energy Work

I did a one-to-one coaching session with a client recently on personal growth and development. That includes using NLP techniques. I've always love coaching even when I was just a newbie volunteer coach back in 2005 and having just absorbed all the skills and techniques that were taught. What I didn't realise back then was that I was highly effective because I was both practicing what I've newly learnt as well as relying on my intuition to guide me.

Now, I consciously combined energy work with my coaching. This means that I actively scan the energy flows in my client during the coaching session to obtain even greater awareness about the client so as to push his/ her learning curve up a notch.

For example, during a segment where we did NLP anchoring techniques, because I could perceive the client's energy flows, it was extremely beneficial. For example, ensuring that the anchor was set at the client's peak of each state that he wanted to have anchored. At the same time, we realised that each state that he desired to anchor corresponded to a particular chakra as well for example, confidence corresponded to solar plexus. When he truly anchored confidence, his solar plexus spun vibrantly as well! This allowed us both to know with certainty that the state was strongly anchored. At the same time, I also got him to spin his chakras to complement energetically the anchors.

Another example is that the client had to be truthful and honest in his sharing. No giving of answers that he thought I wanted to hear. I would know if he was not aligned to them. That ensured that the client obtained the most out of the session. For sure, it was stressful at times for him but at the same time, utterly valuable and liberating! He managed to maintain a proactive and positive state in spite of the "scrutiny" and that was an important achievement for him.

As I've often shared, be creative and PLAY, you can so easily combine energy work with whatever else that you may be doing. Beauty treatments, massage, training, fitness, meetings and so on. Energy follows thought so nothing is impossible. enJOY!

Boost to Manifest Your Dreams

As we evolve in our work and continue on a journey of learning, affirmation and growth, our abilities and gifting will strengthen and deepen. Our focus areas will evolve and change as well depending on our interests, experience, abilities and call.

When I first started to see clients on a professional basis, I did therapy for all sorts of ailments - backaches, migraines, scolosis, bunions, stress etc. That provided me with a solid foundation because working with a diverse group of clients allowed me to build up a "resource library" of information and insights. As I continued in my work, I started to feel a greater pull towards working with clients for emotional relief and that's why last August, I decided to specialise in emotional relief and then in November, I started to offer Chakra Scan & Enhancement sessions.

This week, I have accepted an interesting engagement from a client to work with him to manifest his dreams. He is at a stage of his life where he wants to ABUNDANCESTORM and change his life. This engagement will stretch over a period of a year. Our programme will include:

• Coaching sessions: for these sessions, I will use my training in behavioural change, communications etc to work with him. Through these sessions, he will set his goals and outcomes, understand himself better as well as be equipped with the necessary tools for personal development and business growth.
• Energy sessions for Self-Enhancement: for these sessions, I will provide him with Chakra Scan & Enhancement Sessions so that he will feel even more aligned and balanced as he moves onto this exciting new stage of his life.
• Energy sessions to manifest his dreams: Based on his goals/ intention/ outcomes for each month, we will add a further boost to the manifestation of them energetically or to provide him with some insights. For example, he has set a goal to attract new business clients, we will then do a reality creating session etc to amplify his ability to attract. Or he has a couple of opprtunities to review, I will help by scanning the energy flows of each and advise him.

As I shared with this client, I accepted his engagement because (1) he desires and takes responsibility for change, (2) he's open to change, (3) he's willing to learn and (4) he will take the necessary action steps.

This engagement taps on all the skills I have ever learnt, a complete blending of modalities and training. It's exciting for me because it challenges me to be even more flexible and allows me to be creative in my approach. It will be fun and enriching. Yay!

Enhance Your Chakras

When I attended my very first energy workshop ie Quantum-Touch in 2005, I was "stressed out" during the Chakras segment because I could not visualise them nor feel them. The conclusion I came to was "I was very blocked". The diagnosis could be accurate as I was in alot of emotional pain at that time and things were not as bright as they are now. Guess that was the start of my interest in Chakras.

Because of the realisation, I started to work on my own chakras as well as seek help from my friend, Thean who does healing work as well as massages. As I often share with my participants, there is nothing shameful nor awkward for us to seek help even if we are energy trained. In fact, precisely because we are trained and know how resonance etc works, we will be totally comfortable to seek additional boosters for ourselves to speed up the healing process isn't it?

As I continue to pursue my interest in energy work, I started to be or maybe reawaken my intuitive and perceptive abilities. Soon, I was able to spin and work on my own chakras easily. Next, I found that I could perceive others' chakras as well. From general assessment to specific details. That's when I move onto my next step of offering Chakra Scan and Energetic Enhancement sessions.

Through my work with hundred plus clients, I feel that if people are able to gain greater awareness about their own chakras' conditions, they can further enhance their well-being. Of course, to some therapists, this does not make business sense. Why train potential clients to work on themselves? For me, my philosophy has always been of abundance. In fact, even at an early start of my energy work, I absolutely love it when my clients are well after the first session. There's always going to be other potential clients who need my services.

And so I developed a Enhance Your Chakras workshop and last Saturday was my very first one! These are my wonderful participants who gamely went on this journey of self-discovery.

Thanks Patricia, Lucy, Emily, Eng Heok, Puyee, Fi, Gabriel and Steven for your 128% participation, enthusiasm and courage! Courage because self-awareness could be a daunting journey. These 8 persons are amazing because they not only face "truth" bravely and openly, but they thoroughly enjoyed the journey as well. Amazing, aren't they??

Thanks for your suggestions and feedback on how I could further enhance the workshop as well as your affirmations for my growth as an instructor. I am certainly looking forward to holding my next workshop, sometime in March or April.

Distance Healing

During the Quantum-Touch workshop, one of the segments that the participants often find it difficult to "swallow" is the distance healing. I completely understand how they feel. I too was skeptical when I attended my first workshop in 2005. In the months following the QT workshop, I preferred to do my sessions face-to-face cos' I still believe that it is more effective.

Then, because circumstances was such that I was "forced" to rely more and more on distance healing, I started to receive more "evidence" that I was equally effective far far far away as I am while I am with my "client". That's when I had my own breakthrough where distance healing is concerned.

I am glad I overcame my own skepticism about it because now, I am truly able to help anyone anytime anywhere in the world. I am not confined by schedules nor geography barriers. Clients who are shy about seeking help in person can now do so. Amazing, isn't it? It is needed for me to be confident about distance healing as it turned out, 90% of my sessions for clients are done via distance or a combination of personal/ distance. Useful too as my clients are based both in Singapore and overseas.

During my workshop, my participants will engage in an "experiment" to help them feel more confident about using distance healing. At the same time, I share with them success stories from both my experiences as well as others. Next, I advise them to start testing it out with people they know so as to obtain their own "evidences" to increase in confidence.

Yesterday, I received an email from a client with her feedback that is timely for this posting on distance healing. The loving mother had engaged me to do a Chakra Scan and Energetic Enhancement sessions for her two children. As her children are below the age of 12 years, I was comfortable to do the scan and share the insights with her as she wanted to know how she could further improve their well-being.

The scan was conducted earlier in the day and I did the enhancements sessions for them in the afternoon ending about 3.45pm. During the session, I focused on balancing/ aligning the chakras as well as further enhancing their well-being. At the same time, I also worked on the relationship energy flows so as to further deepen the bonding between the family members. The following is her feedback:

Just to give you some feedback on my kids' response to the Energy Enhancement.

For my daughter, she just seemed a bit tired at about 4pm. Just normal, as what you said.

What surprised me is my son. He seemed to have a healing crisis. At about 4pm, he started to have runny nose, teary eyes and feeling cold. I thought that he was getting 'heaty' after eating too much biscuits and CNY goodies. But at about 6pm, he was back to normal. That is why, I think it is a healing crisis.

Well, I would like to thank you for helping to enhance the quality of our lives.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
