Body Mind Spirit Festival update

This is the 4th time i’m participating in this event. By now, i know enough not to expect anything, since the 1st 3 times of participation were all different. First one was exciting. Second one was great but tiring. 3rd, i was on my own instead of representing the counselling centre i was working at, and i was a lot more steady, and HUGE profits.

This time, I was sharing the booth with dear Ailee, and as a results, lots of laughs! I have never laughed so much at the fair before, not just with Ailee, but with old friends, new friends, and pple whom i was meeting for the first time. It was great! The turnout this year was quite low, which everyone commented about, but the upside of that was that i had the chance to connect with other exhibitors, try out some of the services and even attend some of the workshops. If i put money out of the picture, i would say this is the best festival for yet. It was so fun to mingle around, and this time, i had pple coming up to me, telling me they have heard of me from friends, etc… which is slightly strange, but in a good way i guess. I am the EFT gal after all…wldn’t mind getting famous for that (but hopefully not for other stuff ).

The best part was, i got to meet so many friends and past EFT workshop participants! A few of these pple came just to support me, and i feel very very blessed for that. These 2 days, the no. of hugs I got outweighed the no. of demos i gave… so unexpectedly, i seem to be more on the receiving end during this fair.

Perhaps cos i needed it too. Something unpleasant happened for me on the 1st night of the fair. Really really unpleasant. Next morning i woke up with puffy eyes, but managed to get myself centred with meditation, chanting and Inner Dance. Nevertheless, since the first day was a little unsettled for me, i was wondering if i could be able to make it through the next day. Then i thought, “Well, let the universe take care of the day for me.”

As usual, whenever i surrender everything to the universe, things work out even better than expected. I received a beautiful sekum (can’t rem the spelling) healing from Rudy, a lady from Hongkong who runs a spiritual centre there, and it’s really powerful stuff. She actually came  up to my booth to ask if i wished to have the healing, and she didn’t even charge me for it. Very very kind lady… gratitude to Lee for connecting me with her.

After that, things just got even better. I finally started having pple comign up to me for EFT demos, and had a few books and cards sold. Sales this round is definitely not as good compared to the last rounds, partly due to the low turnout, but i received a lot of love! Which is even better…haha…

Then i had this very exciting lunch with a spiritual friend who had a very thrilling vision to share with me. The moment i heard it, i told him i’m in! It’s about bringing healing to the public, without them even knowing it’s about healing. That’s great, cos those who are open to healing are not the ones who need healing most. The reason why i’m attracted to EFT is because it’s a great technique for the layperson to learn for self-healing purpose. Perhaps that’s why i connect so well with this friend. Seems like we have a similar purpose of bridging spirituality with the secular world. Talking with him about his vision definitely revved up my energy a few notches!

I also managed to connect a few pple to one another which was just as thrilling for me. It’s fun! I love to see pple making connections cos synergy is the way to go, if we are looking at global transformation. And of cos, i love to see my friends becoming friends with one another… my spiritual family is getting bigger!

It’s interesting to see how this entry differs from my update on one of the previous fairs where i was listing down all the numbers… no. of books sold, no. of flyers given out, amount of donations collected, etc. Well, that was when i was still working at the counselling centre where data collection is oh-so-very-important (but which i hate!). This entry is all about the love and connections. Guess i’m getting more right-brained… thank God!

I also learnt a lot about grounding. I was told by Remedia and Rudy that I was not very grounded, and both taught me different grounding methods which did me a lot of good. Seems like my soul likes to fly away a lot. According to Ruth, eating chocolates and meats help to ground the body – so that explains why i can eat a lot of both at times, though i’m neither a chocoholic nor a meat-eater. Now I understand… and no more guilt/anxiety about eating these unhealthy foods from now on. I eat whatever my body needs!

Ok… so many exclamation marks today, i’m sure in a gushing mood. Guess i’m just feeling very very grateful for the friends in my life. Friendship has become a very big focus in my life this year, which is a big difference from previous years where i was preoccupied with family and was in a hermit phase as well. Especially in the last month, I am reconnecting with my friends in a huge way, and a lot of them came to my booth these 2 days, even the not very new agey ones. Seeing these dear smiling faces really perk me up, and i want to give the universe a BIG thank you for every single one of them. Thank you so much universe for blessing me with these wonderful folks with big hearts and noble souls!

Sigh… oh well… i have a feeling that that message i got “Even when things get tough, we will keep you on the right track” just might be referring to the future after all. But with the friends around me, and EFT and Inner Dance, and prayers… i know things would turn out beautifully in the end. All i need to do is to breathe, and go with the flow… and l0vvveeee…..
