I did some research online, and it’s supposed to be the largest and closest full moon, or supermoon, and it generally occurs between 4 and 6 times every year. It is believed that the astrological energies during that time will be very powerful and a great time to do our prayers and meditations.

So how do we do that or what should we focus on? Generally speaking, full moon energies are great for manifesting, and we can apply the energies to our prayers and meditations. You can manifest on new beginnings, relationships, health, abundance, etc. Best if you can do it outdoors under the moon, but I also believe as long as you have the right intentions, it doesn’t matter where you are.

Below is an example which applies to me. I’m going through a transformation phase, and would like to take this time to meditate on:

• Removing negative energies in myself, my environment, and people around me
• Letting the old self go and to be open to welcome the new self
• Send loving energies to help raise vibrations around me

The energies will lasts for 3-4 days, so we will have plenty of time. Have fun with it, and hope this helps!

Well, luckily I was strong enough to keep myself going, and things started to fall into the right places and I feel more at peace now. I would like to continue on this journey, and I’m back to writing and sharing more information and experiences.

About my work status, I started freelancing back in Nov last year and this opportunity turned into a part time role. With much thinking and my conscious mind trying to hold me back, I was able to break out of it and just let myself go with it, and this opportunity is turning into a full time role. This position just felt right, and I feel so blessed and grateful for it.

Suddenly things just seemed more aligned for me. The job itself is interesting and I feel that I can learn a lot from it. It is not one of those crazy jobs that require long hours, so it definitely allows me to have a lot of “me-time” to continue with my spiritual work. It also just came in time to support me financially so that I can continue going to workshops for self-improvements and self-growth.

My inner self is telling me that I need to do this and keep writing. Perhaps this is also a way for me to grow and learn, we’ll see. My intention for now for this blog is to continue contributing more learnings and share more experiences to hopefully shed light on others that’s on the same path, or even just to attract more like-minded people to read and share.

That’s it for now, a lot more to come…

As I was searching for a full time job, the idea of freelancing also grew on me. I started reading articles of people working freelance as their full time job, and learning more from a close friend who also does freelance work. I used to think freelancing is insecure and all my free time would go to doing extra work. But suddenly the idea didn’t seem so bad anymore, and I allowed myself to become more open to it.

Within a couple weeks, I got a freelance copywriting job through a friend’s referral. I found it quite fun, both the company and this job was refreshing to me. Few weeks later when this job is almost done, they called and asked if I would be interested to work part time for their company until I find a permanent position. I did have some hesitation, but this time I will not let my conscious mind take over. Instead I decided to do it and who knows what may come out of it.

It is amazing how opening myself up created new opportunities. It’s now been a bit over a month working part time in this company, and I started to receive more freelance work on the way.

During these few months I’ve learned to be patient, stay positive, and just take it a day at a time. And for 2012, my resolution is to be able to enjoy the present, be able to go with the flow, and simply just take it as it comes and enjoy the process while I’m in it.

The Dalai Lama was asked what surprised him most, he said “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Got it from here

This movie had many great quotes, my favorite one used throughout the movie is “Aal izz well (All is well).” When you come across any problems in life, simply tell your heart “All is well.”

Another favorite quote was “Pursue excellence, and success will follow.” I won’t go into this and let you watch it, but I’m sure you’ll be very inspired by this quote as well.

Some of the lessons I’ve learned from this movie is to follow your heart and inner guidance, chase your dream and make whatever you love your profession, and fear stops you from moving forward, one should focus on present and not worry about the future.

The movie definitely made me think how some of the messages can apply to my life. I’m a big worrier, so I can relate to the message on fear. I felt so much lighter after watching this movie. From now on, whenever I face fears or worries, I will tell myself the new affirmation I just learned, “All is well!”

As usual, when I feel unhappy and gloomy, my mind wanders. I started to blame, think of all the what-ifs, and my negative feelings only grow bigger when I pile them all up together.

It was then I got a “message” while I was out this past weekend. My friends and I were having drinks, and I couldn’t help but listened to this guy a table over, talking about his move from San Francisco. He was saying how he misses the place, the people, the pace, etc. And when his friend asked him, “Do you like it here more or back in San Francisco?” Without hesitation, he said “San Francisco.” Then his friend asked, “But right now, are you happy?” He said, “Yes, I believe happiness is in your mind. I already have all the basic things people need and more, so yes, I am happy. Maybe there’s a reason why I need to be here for a while. And perhaps I can move elsewhere later. And like I said, it’s all in the mind, if I’m positive and happy in my mind, then I am happy.”

After listening to him, I felt an “aha” moment. It is a concept that I should already be familiar with, and yet I can’t think of that when I was bogged down with all these negative emotions. I take this as a message from the Universe for me to stay grounded. There’s a reason for everything, and there’s a reason why I am here. I can be happy if I choose to be, and allow my mind to receive this happiness. And probably I need to be more grateful for everything that I have.

For those of you out there, whether you’re having trouble with your career, relationship, or simply like me at a stage in your life where you feel stuck. Do try to open up and listen to your surroundings, you may just pick up valuable messages that can turn your emotions around.

I have watched most of Savonn Champelle’s videos, but just saw this couple days ago. It has a very good message, and hope it can help you too!      

Message #1 “…Seeing the light in others and seeing the best in others, and just sharing your love with other people because you’ll never know a small gesture or kind word can go a long way.” “Be generous with your love. If you feel like there’s something you want to say from your heart to someone, say it, because you’ll never know what a difference it would make.”

 

Message #2 “…It’s about the energy, it’s about the light coming from within that enhances everything else.” “You are your own soul mate. Be your own soul mate. Think of all the things you want in a soul mate and from a soul mate, and then be that for yourself. You have to be that for yourself first." "When you fall in love with you, the world will fall in love with you, the people will fall in love with you and they won’t know why because they’ll see it and they’ll feel it.”

 

I mentioned in a couple of my posts about Yuen Method, and today I’d like to explain more on this energy-based modality. This is the first type of energy healing I came across which worked well for me.

Yuen method is a Chinese energy healing technique, which was created by Dr. Kam Yuen. This method offers instant relief from aches and pains, and even at an emotional and mental level to help release our personal struggles. The main tool for Yuen is to have balanced Chi, everything should be balanced and neutral. If our body is too strong or weak to something, that means there’s an imbalance and in the long term will cause more serious problems physically or emotionally. Yuen is used to help correct for neutrality to bring a balance back into our body and mind.

In my case, Yuen method helped me remove layers and layers of issues that slowly became bigger problems in my life as an adult. My practitioner, Peggy, is great at helping me find the root cause of my problems and also a great mentor in guiding me while I’m lost.

I first went to Peggy with a fear of public speaking. Our team had an annual meeting which was my first time to attend. This was exciting for me, but knowing I had to present in front of more than a hundred people was making me sick. At the time I also learned Emotional Freedom Technique, which I also used while I was there to calm myself down. The result was amazing, I not only presented well, I was one of the people in our team that did great and got compliments from both of my boss.

As I had more sessions, what seemed to be a problem in the surface started to become something deeper and more personal. A fear of public speaking linked back to when I was a kid and first moved to US. I found out the root cause was speaking in front of native English speakers because I was made fun of by my English teacher in 8th grade. A feeling of confusion towards my work and this company was something I had control over so I thought if I find another job I’ll be fine, but I’ve done that before and I was still unhappy. It turned out to be me seeking spirituality all this time, but I put all my energy into work and thought it was my career all along.

It is funny how things play out sometime. Through the few years I never had the courage to leave this job, but I finally did it. I left my job few months ago, and went around traveled a bit to clear my head. When I came back home, I was just in time to help take care of my parents. They had some health issues and were in hospital, first my mom then my dad. I became a caretaker for both of them during this time. While I still think about my old job, the people, and how life would be if I was still there, I got an email from my ex-colleague that the boss of our team is leaving the company soon, and there’ll be a big restructure, and our team will be gone in the next few months! I felt that the Universe is re-confirming me that I’m on the right track and shouldn’t look back.

I took a couple of Yuen courses and currently continue working on myself. I feel coming across this energy healing technique and Peggy has been such a great gift. I’ve been guided to walk a new journey and look and experience life with a totally new approach. This is just the beginning for me, but I do hope as I continue and note my experiences and useful techniques I find, it can also help you out there in your healing work.
