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 k
eep 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.

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.

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.

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 Fragility of Life

We all know of someone or know someone who knows someone who depart from this realm suddenly. It is especially difficult when it is someone young or someone who died unexpectedly. That's when we remind ourselves about the fragility of life. That's when we remind ourselves to treasure life and our loved ones in all moments. 

Then our schedules catch up with us. Our to-do lists need to be checked off. The endless cycle of work that needs completing.  And we forget. 

The fragility of life. 

It is not just when someone we love departs from this realm that we feel this. It happens when relationship changes unexpectedly and suddenly.

The fragility of life.

It spur us to treasure the moments. It allows us to be detached from expectations of a forever and forever. It facilitates the movement of grace for people to change their minds. 

It adds to the precious beauty that is life.

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.

Feeling happy without feeling guilty

I bumped into a friend while on my way for my reflective swim this morning. Haven't seen her for a long time.

Friend: "Hi, how have you been?"
Me: "I am good. On way for a swim."
Friend: "Good life"
Me: "Yes, taking a break today from work..."

Oops, I found myself starting to justify my good life. Did a mental STOP and then I continued happily chatting to her without feeling guilty about my good life. 

Yes, I am truly enjoying the positive flow of my life right now. I am happy and blissfully so. 

Yet it was only last week that I had a breakthrough: I was finally able to fully embrace and enjoy the happy and good flow of my current life without guilt that other people around me eg my clients, friends or family members are going through difficulties and challenges. I used to feel bad that life's so good for me now while others are still in pain. 

Now, I can continue to be a happy catalyst to others. And at the same time, fully enjoy being the happy me and my happy life.
