I believe all of us have a built-in compass to help us get to wherever we desire to go. Trust that compass for with that trusting will come the strength to bear whatever life deals you.
As human beings, we’re not perfect, and we’re not supposed to be. But that’s not always an easy thing for us to realise. We don’t make it alone in this world. We’re lucky that there are people placed in our path to guide us, protect us and touch our lives so that we can get through it all …. one day at a time
Remember : just as you have questions now, somewhere inside you, and down the road, there will be answers and workable solutions. It takes patience and trust to get through life’s changes when you are trying to reach goals, solve problems and make dreams come true. Though at times it may seem more than you can take, I know you are strong, and you can handle whatever comes your way.
Go out to the sun now, touch the sky and put that smile back onto your face.

At Mount Banahaw, Philippines
Have you ever talked to a tree? Hugged it?
Trees have enormous healing energies which is very often overlooked. The healing qualities of trees can be attirbuted to their powerful balancing, grounding and cleansing properties. They are nature’s tranquillisers, a gift from Mother Nature. People who are afflicted with health problems and those who are stressed and rattled by everyday city life should find time and spend their weekends with nature.
Take a walk through a forest or park and as you do, place your hands out in front of you with your palms facing outwards towards the trees. Many will be able to feel some kind of “force” on their palms and notice different trees emit different kinds of energies. Some trees you will feel harmonious with and instantly take a liking to, and others you will not be attracted to it at all. Trust your instincts here. Then when you find the tree which feels right for you, embrace it and feel what you experience.
(For this exercise you can also do it in your garden)
This healing capacity is inherent with all trees and by performing this tree hugging exercise daily, even the most sceptical person should be convinced that trees are more than just mere blocks of woods.

Absorbing tree prana
How does this sound to you “A Holiday With A Difference”.
I went on a Mount Banahaw Retreat in the Philippines in August 2007. It was a some kind of a transformational journey that offered a holiday that soothed the body, mind and soul to detox, destress or just simply delighted. The workshop was designed to assist participants to discover, challenge and change negative core beliefs. Share in the secret of nature’s power. It was definitely a haven of serenity.

Some many months back I had lunch with some friends that I have not caught up with for the past 15 years. It was an interesting turn of events on how we caught up. About a month plus before that, on my return from Tibet, I was thinking about how fragile life is when I reflected on the perilous journey that I had just undertaken. A friend’s face intruded my thoughts and being a practitioner in energy works I took it as a sign of directed energies. I made efforts to get in touch with her but met with no results until one day I was lunching with another friend at this organic vegetarian restaurant at BU, that I bumped into her. From her I learned that another of our mutual friend had been trying to touch base me; almost the same time that I thought of them. Was this particular friend sending out a message and I received it or was it my thoughts about them that set her on wanting to get in touch. Whatever way, I am certain the energies were flowing.
These friends of mine are really practical, not out of the world kind of people but I don’t know how the conversation swayed to 2012 – end of the world story. They were eagerly discussing on this issue on how they should prepare themselves while I discreetly chose not to be drawn into this discussion as I have other ideas about the end of the world story. Suddenly one of them popped this at me “Eh! End of the world is coming already lah. I am surprise you are into Buddhism. You better get back into Christianity if you want to be saved.” I did not know whether to laugh or … I did not know how to react. Does it mean that all those not into Christianity will be doomed? The hindus, the muslims and the buddhists – what will happen to them?
Another incident happened when I lunched at the same BU organic restaurant . When I pushed open the restaurant door, sitting at the very first table was a friend I had not met for years. And it was only last week that I was asking someone about her. Huh! Is this coincidence again? No, certainly not. I do not believe in coincidence. If you have not read this book, Celestine Prophecy, go grab one. For those who knows me and wish to borrow the book, give me a buzz or drop me a line.

When the word ‘abundance’ is mentioned, the first thing that comes to people’s mind is money. Abundance simply means flowing with love, happiness, prosperity, success, friendship, good health, etc.
People are constantly thinking, talking and acting as if they were poor and lacking. They are affirming poverty. As a result people are creating a physical realtiy of poverty. Poverty consciousness comes from unconsciously held beliefs in unworthiness or from conditioning by society that somehow it is impossible, inappropriate and unspiritual to be abundant. The opposite is true. We must, therefore, embrace abundance consciousness.
Abundance is giving with the right thoughts, words, emotions and deeds. It is also receiving with the same. Because of the Law Of Flow, we cannot do one without the other or we block the river of abundance. Abundance flows as a result of your thoughts and actions.
Never expect something back from the person you give to. It negates the Law Of Abundance. And receive everything that comes your way openly with a sense of deserving and gratitude.
Now sit back and watch the manifestation of the Law Of Abundance in your life. You will be amazed at how simple it is to invite and direct that flow into your life.
