What would make you happy?

I wrote this post on my personal blog and thought it's a useful post for this blog as well.

Client: I am unhappy because......
Me: So, what would make you happy?
Client: Err... err.... Don't know. I am unhappy because...

Based on my clients', friends' and my own experiences, I observed that those who made the greatest transformational leap in their lives are those who do know what would make them happy. That's natural, isn't it?

If someone chooses to focus only on the pain and the past, then it is challenging to get out of it because there is no "happier destination" to get to. Otherwise, it would only be pain management and not steps towards a positive life change.

A whole new world!

Had a session with a client this morning. He's suffered a gout attack and is also highly stressed by his work. As we did the session, it came to light that he's also affected by a current situation and we chatted about it.

After the session, he felt very relaxed, "lighter" and "very different". What's important is that he gained different insights and perspectives on his situation - a return to a positive state of mind. He requested that I do a session for his wife via distance after the session so that they will both be in a positive sync.

I completed the session for his wife at about 12.45pm and called him to offer my insights. At about 1.10pm, he called me excitedly to happily share that his wife just called him and her tone is very different, without the usual "hostility".

It's wonderful to know that the work we do has a positive impact on our clients. Relief from aches, emotional well being, enhanced relationships, new mindset and framework - a whole new world indeed!

Off Anti-Depressants

One of my clients has been on Prozac for many many years. He first saw me in Sept last year when he was going through a very traumatic and emotionally draining period. Through the months, I saw him make many courageous steps to turn his life around. Besides private healing sessions with me, he also embarked on a self-development journey to equip himself with new skills.

In March this year, during our one to one coaching/ energy session, he shared that he has stopped taking Prozac as well as stopped going on drinking binges. I was delighted at his decision and more importantly at his courage to face life on his own terms.

It is July and he's been off Prozac for months now. There were a couple of times when he felt tempted to take it but he overcame it. Instead, he would either run energy himself or see me for a session.

He shared that through the years, he's always wanted to go off the pill. As much as it helped him, it was also shredding his self-esteem. Therefore, he is extremely proud of himself for succeeding in this. I am very proud of him too. He's an example of a client who takes responsibilty to change one's life. No blaming of others, circumstances etc. And this is why his life is changing for the better!

Insomnia no more!

This testimonial is from Lily, my participant at the last workshop.

"I have insomnia for a long period of time. I try not to rely too much on sleeping pills. After Day 1 of the QT workshop where I received treatment, I had a heavy dinner and felt sleepy. As it was only 7pm, I didn't want to sleep so had a cup of coffee. But by 8pm, I dozed off. When I woke up, it was 8.30am in the morning. I was amazed staring at the house with all the lights still on."

Weeks after the workshop, she shared that her quality of sleep is much better, a great improvement. During the workshop, she had a treatment session from a fellow participant who just learnt QT hours ago (it is that easy to learn and most importantly, to apply!). After the workshop, she QT herself regularly.

Calm and Peaceful

A client approached me in Jan this year to work on her father who suffers from dementia. She felt that he had a "haunted" look on his face, certainly not at peace. I recommended that we do three sessions over a period of a week in time to celebrate the Chinese New Year with a difference.

For the sessions, I focused on balancing and enhancing his chakras plus running energy on his mind. The outcome as desired by the client was for her dad to be happy and calm.

As a therapist, it is important for us to do follow through with clients for feedback and observations. It was my second time working on a client with dementia and I was confident that there would be improvement.

My client called me after the Chinese New Year celebrations and shared that at the reunion dinner, her dad actually stayed on at the table with the family. It was the first in a while cos' his usual pattern would be to finish his dinner, leave the table and watch TV. She also observed that her dad was calmer and have started to enjoy playing with his grandchildren!

That's wonderful isn't it?

My client decided to continue with booster sessions for her dad and mum. I did a 12 colours meditation for 21 days and after that, a monthly healing session. She shared her dad is very peaceful and calm, in an excellent emotional state. So much so that last month, she decided that perhaps more sessions could be done for her mum instead. I was concerned when she suggested this as I felt that the monthly sessions are important for her dad. I recommended that rather than to stop completely, at least do short sessions.

Two weeks ago, my client smsed an SOS. Her dad acted up and was in an agitated state, the first time in 6 months since we started the sessions in Jan. I did a session for him on that very day. Had a chance to speak with the client two days later and she shared that on the day I did the session for her day, he slept very well and by the next day, he returned to a calm state of being. She realised that a short brief session isn't enough and that usual monthly sessions are needed indeed.

From this example, as a therapist, I realised that "maintenance" is necessary in some cases. And that ongoing energy work is essential to further enhance one's well-being. We may have done a session to heal a bone fracture and that's wonderful. That does not necessarily mean that it's all our body needs.

Based on recent experiences, for clients who are energy trained, I will strongly encourage them to continue to run energy for themselves after the sessions. For clients who are not energy trained, I will recommend that they pamper themselves with a monthly booster session, similar to say a monthly massage or facial. As it is a recommendation, the final action will still have to be taken by the client.

As for myself, I am running energy on myself every single day. Walk the talk! :) :) :)

Woof Woof

As you know, my focus is on further enhancing the well-being of my clients and they tend to be humans. :) :)

Had a request from a client this week to work on her doggy. For animals, I will refer them to my friend Owen from Best Friends Doggy & Kitty Salon cum Learning Centre. In this case, both Owen and the client requested for me to work on the doggy instead so I agreed.

Her doggy is about 9 years old (and rather grumpy). He always have skin problems but she decided to just clean him every night instead of bringing him to vet as the medication makes him sick too. She decided to test out QT sessions to help improve his skin condition.

After my first session for him, she noticed that his raw wounds seem to look better. After 2 days, she feels the overall condition has improved. I've completed a second session for him yesterday and my feel is that with the QT sessions, besides the physical improvement of the skin condition, emotional wise, he will also be a happy doggy!

A multi-millionaire who worries about money?

Do you feel out of line and don’t know why? Not feeling your optimal best?

Being aware of your Chakras or energy centres will provide you with vital clues and insights to your mental, emotional and physical well-being. As you remove blockages in your charkas, you enhance your senses while boosting your physical and emotional well-being.

One of the most useful insights a client (a multi-millionaire) discovered from the scan was his unconscious worries about money and weak sense of security and stability that led to his inability to enjoy the fruits of his labour. Since then, he’s happier and able to truly enjoy life.

Chakras are the subtle energy centres of the body. To heal is to bring the chakras into balance and alignment. Understanding the chakras also provide the foundation for further growth into other areas, including psychic growth and other metaphysical work.

Seek greater clarity and join us for the ENHANCE YOUR CHAKRAS WORKSHOP. This will be an engaging and interactive workshop with activities, sharing and demonstrations through which you will:
1. Understand Chakras and their functions
2. Increase in awareness about your energy centres
3. Learn to balance, align and enhance your energy centres
