SunShine - Stress Management Workshop

Did you know? The American Institute for Stress estimates that up to 90 percent of visits to the doctor are for stress-related problems.

Stress is a growing health problem for many working professionals today, and without strategies to keep it in check, stress can in turn cause chronic illnesses and unnecessary downtime and unproductivity for employees.

 

Progressive companies today are focusing on preventive care services to improve productivity by managing employees’ emotional, mental and physical well-being.

 

Recently conducted a stress management workshop for dnata Singapore as part of their Global world Safety Day. The management wanted a wellness workshop to benefit their employees.

 

Clearly stress management is a popular topic as the talk attracted a large turnout. Participants shared that the talk was fun, enjoyable and very informative.

 

Having the tools to manage stress is essential for our well-being. That's why I absolutely enjoy conducting this workshop for companies as it is a way to enable people to enjoy optimal well-being. It is also a way for companies to care for their employees' well-being.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Dealing with Stress

Did two lunchtime talks on 'Dealing with Stress' for Standard Chartered Bank's parenting and caregivers network in July. 

From the great turnout for both sessions, it is a topic that's close to our hearts as we juggle our multiple roles in our daily lives. 







I think it is wonderful for the bank to initiate various networks to look after their employees' welfare. Kudos to the bank and to the volunteers who are on the planning committees!

At the same time, the bank and the organisers can initiate programmes but without the voluntary participation of the employees, it would be a waste of effort. 

  

I was really happy to observe the desire of the participants to equip themselves with tools and strategies to better their lives and those of their loved ones. 

Everybody's learning journey is different and some of the sharing covered during the talk might be familiar to some. Yet my desire is that even for those who have attended many of such talks, they leave mine with one or two golden nuggets that they can apply to their daily living.

Quantum-Touch Level 1 Workshop

After learning QT, Mdm Cheong now spends time doing sessions
for her two beloved grandchildren. QT can also be used to help pets feel better.

This coming June, I will be organising a weekday class for Quantum-Touch Level 1 Workshop. This will be ideal for those whose weekday schedule is more flexible than their weekend ones.
 
The workshop will be held over two weekdays: Mon 17 and Wed 19 June 2013 from 9am to 5pm, $500 (includes certification). 

It will be a fun and interactive workshop and more importantly, a workshop that will equip you with useful skills.

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.

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 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?

8 seconds to awesomeness

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, that's all the time you need to create a being moment.

Inhale 4 counts and feel goodness flowing in, exhale 4 counts feeling totally relaxed.

When you include pockets of these 8 seconds of awesomeness in your day, you will feel recharged in spite a busy schedule. And when you feel in a less than useful state, including this being moment will give you a burst of calming energy.

The key to this 8 seconds is to totally be in the moment and enjoy your breath. Breathe in.... breathe out.... enjoy and be.
