Sweet Miracles

That’s the word that comes to mind to describe my current state of being right now. Yup, i feel EMPOWERED. On different levels, about different things.

First is that i just feel so excited abt the EFT technique that i learnt from my energy psychology course. I was a bit worried that it’s going to be like the Quantum Touch workshop. At that one, i was quite hyped up during the workshop and thinking i have this super powerful new skill to heal myself and others. Unfortunately, i never got around to really use it after the course – somehow the skeptic in me doubted that it really worked, even though i saw the results for myself during the course.

Thank goodness, i’m truly into EFT. Have been using it on myself, little boy and Mr Gua Gua. My flu was developing into one of those coughs where once you start, the throat kinda gets caught and you can’t stop coughing until your eyes water and sometimes you almost want to throw up. Little boy was starting to have the same cough too, and i was really worried so i kept using EFT for myself and little boy, cos according to the trainers, you can do EFT on other pple on their behalf for them. Now little boy seems alright, and my cough seems to be gone, which i’m pretty sure is not its natural course and can be attributed to EFT.

I wanted to use EFT on Mr Gua Gua’s issues, but he was a mock skeptic (i say mock cos he often pretends not to believe such things when it’s clear that he’s really into these things too… in fact, he even learnt EFT in the past, and used it on others, but never on himself *sigh*), so i stuck to something safe like his stomachache. Well, it took me 4 rounds of EFT tapping to get his stomachache from a 7 to a 2 or 3. But hey, it worked nevertheless! During the last round, i was interrupted by little boy who woke up from his nap so i had to tend to him. When I came back to Mr Gua Gua, he was fast asleep! Perhaps the healing was also taking effect.

The good thing abt EFT is that it can be so easily done, and now i can do it during nursing little boy on the bed, while in the past if i wasn’t feeling tired enough to take a nap, i wld just be stoning or daydreaming, mostly feeling quite bored. Now nursing time is becoming my EFT time – time to work on myself or little boy! The best thing is that it really does work. I just found this website on EFT (www.emofree.com) which doesn’t seem very commercialised, as if it’s trying to endorse or market any idea. And there are tons of testimonials from pple who tried EFT with their clients with amazing results. All these just makes me even more excited about using it with my clients too!

Too bad i didn’t get any feedback from any of you… none of you tried? Well, i can certainly understand the skepticism. How can tapping certain points of your body help with physical or emotional troubles in any way? Actually there is prob a scientific basis to it, cos it’s based on the eastern principles of chi and meridian points. If any of you face any particular problem – some phobia, anxiety, anger, physical pains – and just want to try something alternative without resorting to medicine or anything, then try out the techniques i described in my blog on Energy Psychology. If you need to clarify any steps, just drop me a note. I’m certainly not getting paid for writing about this in my blog you know. I’m just pretty convinced that this is something that works, and i can’t wait to hear for myself how it works for pple i know. Even if you choose to be skeptical, then have healthy skepticism… which is to find out more, trying it out for yourself, before choosing to reject or disbelieve. There were also skeptics in the course, but they also saw the proof for themselves during the hands-on practice. One of the skeptics was thrilled abt having his back pain relieved via EFT. So give it a shot… if you are certain that this is just a new age gimmick, prove it. Hee, that’s my challenge to you guys.

We went to the Holistic Festival at Fort Canning on Sunday after we came back from the cruise (which by the way was like only SO-SO… some fun moments, some ok moments, some not so ok moments… ah well… holidays are just different when it’s no longer a couple thing. I’ll leave it at that for now). We were kinda broke and didn’t see anything we wanted to try anyway, so this was the first time where we didn’t spend a bomb on products and readings. However we did enjoy ourselves anyway… the energy in Fort Canning always feels good, with the beautiful greenery there.

We got these whole stack of pamphlets and leaflets which Mr Gua Gua and I browsed through and separated into 2 stacks, one for discarding, one for future reference. There were quite a few that caught my interest. One in particular was this product Goji juice. It sounded vaguely familiar, though i didn’t know much abt it. Apparently its benefits outweigh that of noni juice, which Mr Gua Gua have heard of and is supposed to be very good. Well, call me a sucker, but i’m totally bought into it. Thinking of getting it for the whole family to drink… at least if little boy takes it, i can feel assured that he is getting gd amts of nutrients. Check out the website here: www.gojibook.com

Hmm, i’m starting to feel like some holistic/new age saleswoman. Haha, Mr Gua Gua is always trying to get me into some business, like selling amulets for him or do MLM. Hopefully he doesn’t try to psycho me again after reading this (IF he reads it… his loyalty to my blog has kinda dwindled lately… )

Ok, back to feeling empowered. I went to watch The Last Mimsy with Mr Gua Gua today. It’s a VERY new age film. After watching it, i’m not surprised it only got a 3-star rating. Mr Gua Gua and i certainly get it, since we are both into the new age stuff. It’s got concepts like time travel, wormholes, aliens, etc. You know… all the strange, out of the world stuff. And despite our familiarity with all of them, after the movie, we both kinda felt dizzy. Literally. Perhaps it was just all so overwhelming. Some scenes were really intense. I was also wondering aloud to Mr Gua Gua if the movie had some subliminal messages planted in it, hence the dizziness. Well, then again, i only felt dizzy on the way home, so it could be just carsickness. But i have a feeling it’s more than that.

Nevertheless, the movie kinda got me into this state of remembering… like, yeah, this is what it’s all about. What is it all about? Erm, i’m not really able to elaborate, at least not at this hour of the day. It’s got something to do with infinite possibilities, invisible universal workings, fulfilling of destinies. Stuff like that which makes me remember that there is something big happening in the world and i’m supposed to be a part of it. Just thinking of that makes me feel excited all over again.

I think i’m starting to feel more like myself again. For a while, i have been feeling disconnected and out of touch with myself and others, on and off. Not knowing what i’m doing, where i’m going, if i’m doing what i’m supposed to do. But recently, my confidence comes back in surges every now and then, and there will be moments where i almost feel like i’m in the flow and everything is finally falling into place. It mostly happens when i’m at work. I’m thrilled that after almost a year of complaining abt meaningless work at SY, i’m finally doing things which i have a passion for.

And today, i felt empowered, by what or whom i don’t know, to request from my clinical director and president for sponsorship of the 2.5 day art therapy course i signed up for as well as a pay rise. Yup, all at the same time. I don’t know what got into my head to do such a thing, cos usually i wld feel paiseh and reluctant to ask others for things, esp when it comes to negotiating or bargaining. However today it wasn’t like that. I figured that for both matters, i did have a certain entitlement, and since “you must ask in order to receive”, i might as well just give it a go. Even if i get a rejection, or two for that matter, at least i know that i have tried, which is much better than compromising out of fear and embarassment.

Of cos, i used my diplomacy skills to the max when i wrote that email. As i was telling Mr Gua Gua, when i was trying to express in the email about wanting to know my rights when it came to those finance matters, i tried to find a better way of phrasing since rights sounds kinda defensive, and employers never like the sound of employees’ rights (haha, just kidding – partly!). So instead of writing about rights, i phrased it as “to know what are the resources I have access to”. Sounds good huh? Hehe… i really liked the way i put it… and yes, i’m patting my own shoulder for that.

Well, i’ll be waiting for the good news. Don’t think i’m being overly optimistic for i’m really practising the art of manifestation. Now that there are pple whom I don’t really know very well who are reading this blog, i would like to request that even if you disagree with anything i say, kindly try your best to just shrug it off as a different perspective from yours. I believe that thoughts are energy, and while positive thoughts can energise a person and bring about a good situation, negative thoughts can do the opposite. Hence I would greatly appreciate if you guys can just keep sending good thoughts along my way… even if it’s something like “i don’t know what the heck you are talking but good luck anyway!”

Talking abt manifestation, it just happened for me, not once but twice. We were amazed at how much little boy loves bread. White bread, whole meal bread, croissants, buns, paus, roti pratas – he loves them all. So Mr Gua Gua said we shld prob get a bread machine and make bread for him. That idea was a real hit with me. I thought it was such a fabulous idea. As he said, I could add all kinds of nutritious ingredients like milk powder (so even if he doesn’t want his milk, he can eat it in the bread!), potato, nuts, nutritional supplements, even veggies like carrots and pumpkin, to make some kind of super bread. And even if little boy gets finicky and doesn’t want his meals, he can still eat the bread and perhaps fruits and his vitamins and i can relax, knowing he’s still getting his nutrition.

Now when a really good idea gets into my head, i normally can’t wait to act upon it. I think Mr Gua Gua gave that suggestion on Sat or Sun. By the next day, i was telling Mr Gua Gua that i really want to get a bread maker. Of cos, it would cost a bomb, so i kinda did a bit of manifestation, hoping that a bread maker machine would come along SOMEHOW. Today i remembered that my grandmother and another auntie both have bread makers so i smsed my mum to ask her if anyone might be willing to let theirs go. My mum replied to tell me that my grandmother no longer uses hers, and i can prob ask her. Wow!

I was thrilled to say the least that i cld get a bread machine without spending a cent. Told Mr Gua Gua this evening when i met him for the movie, and without missing a beat, he told me that his parents actually have a brand new bread maker machine which they won from a lucky draw over a year ago, and they would be willing to pass it to us. Double wow!

See… that’s why i’m feeling so empowered right now. With EFT that i can use to work on myself and with others, with the knowledge of products out there that can really benefit pple like Goji, with The Last Mimsy (check out the official website… it’s really cool… i think it’s www.thelastmimsy.com) that kinda reminds me about the mystical part of this world which could be so much more than the part that we can see with our senses, with manifestation and getting results from it, telling me that the universe IS listening, and of cos, with this current spate of confidence and courage to express myself without fear… it suddenly feels like nothing is impossible anymore.

Instead, I M Possible.

And it sure feels great.
