Healing Insights

Dear One,

What is worse than having dreams that are unfulfilled?

To me, worse than that is to be having no dreams, or allowing your dreams to die.

Dreams and visions are fuel for the spirit. They add richness to life and energy to our actions. It is much sweeter to wake up everyday to a sense of purpose, than to feel like it is another day to survive through.

Not having a dream is like drifting aimlessly in a boat, following where the tide leads you to - often in circles. And you wonder how come you come back to the same scenery over and over again!

There is no dream too little or too great. It might be to enjoy each sunrise and sunset as a magnificent work of art, or to cheer someone up everyday. It could be to own a Mercedes, or an antique watch collection. It could be to set up a non-profit organisation that can benefit hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people in a year.

If you do have a dream, congratulations, for this is the secret to happiness and longevity. Whether or not your dream becomes reality, it's the process of following your dream that gives your life meaning and joy.

If you are unsure if you do have a dream (probably it's hibernating somewhere within you from over-neglect!), here are some suggestions for you to discover what makes your heart skip a beat or two.

Create a vision board
Cut out pictures and words from magazines that give you a rush of positive energy, and paste them on a board so that you have a visual feel of your dreams and passions. Not only does this clarify your dreams for you, this process is well known for quickening the manifestation process so that your dreams turn into reality more quickly! (Jim Carrey was once a little-known actor, till he wrote a huge cheque to himself for acting services rendered, and carried it around in his wallet. This was quickly followed by his starring in The Mask, and subsequent leading roles in box office hits!)

Ask yourself this question
"If miracles can happen, how would my life be like?" Envision yourself leading the best possible life ever and imagine... What are you doing? Where do you stay? Who are you surrounded by? How do you feel being who you are? Use your imagination to experience the sights, sounds, smells and feelings as fully as possible. Watch this "dream movie" everyday.

Free association
For those of you who think through typing (like me!), do a few deep breaths with the intention of connecting to your heart, and then spend the next 20 min listing all the words that come to your mind in relation to the topic "My dreams". Do not pause, do not censor what you write, leave the spelling mistakes alone. You will notice your answers becoming more and more authentic along the way. When you are done, pick out the most significant themes and if necessary, rewrite it in a way that speaks even more clearly to you. Print it out, laminate it, and put it somewhere where you could read it everyday.

Some people are afraid to think about dreams because they do not want to risk disappointment. But here's the truth as I see it. Life without dreams is merely an empty, soul-less existence. Dream... and not only that, dream BIG. Do it consistently and you will see your reality transforming right in front of your very eyes.

So now that 2009 is coming to an end, take some time to think about your dreams. Remember, whether or not you fulfill them in the end, one thing you can be sure of is that, life becomes an even grander adventure!

Here's the tapping exercise for today

Even though I really don't know what I want out of life, I am willing to release all my fears and negative beliefs about having dreams, and I am ready to dig deep within my heart, to uncover the desires and yearnings that would allow me to live life with zest!

Tap on the remaining EFT points, and be aware of the thoughts that pass through your mind during the process... some of which may be deep-seated fears about dreams, ready to be released, and others, clues to your heart's deepest desires, ready to be pursued!

May you be a constant dreamer who allows dreams to be a part of your life, shining inspiration and radiating energy to all those around you.

You may already know your goals, or have certain visions, but you feel hesitant or unsure of how to achieve them. Come down for Masterminding with EFT this Friday 7.30 - 10.30 pm. The specially designed process that I facilitate in this session empowers the participants to create inspirations and strategies for one another to progress towards their dreams through the Masterminding principle (as mentioned in the classic book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill) and of course, EFT. The energy shifts that happen in this session are incredible! This is highly recommended if you are ready for major change in your life and wish to jumpstart on your journey now. Investment: $33. Please sms 96715709 to register now.

Wish to learn EFT but cannot make it on the Sunday workshops? I have received a special request to hold an EFT Level I workshop on weekday mornings, so email me now if you are interested in weekday morning timeslots and I will arrange for a date in early December to suit the majority's timings. Don't miss this opportunity to attend a highly experiential and dynamic session on how to apply EFT for maximum results, so that you are fully empowered to manage your emotions and heal all kinds of ailments, from headaches to phobias to chronic pains, etc, naturally, easily and quickly!

The year is coming to an end, and some of you may be ready to start 2010 a new by clearing longstanding issues in your life such as relationship tensions, or self-sabotaging behaviour like procrastination or social anxiety. EFT is a gentle but powerful therapy that can allow you to see results in a single session that sometimes even conventional psychotherapy cannot achieve in 10 sessions. Both face-to-face consultations and phone sessions with me are available. Book a session with me by emailing to lena@lenashealinghaven.com now.

Note: All events are held at Shan You Counselling Centre. Please go to www.shanyou.org.sg for driving and bus directions.

Happy Comments

Comments from clients about their EFT consultations with me:

"I felt more relaxed and happier after the 1st session. The 2nd session was a miracle! I got the answer that I have been searching for all this while. I could feel my energy flowing back and I am ready to face myself and the world once again. Lena was happy for me and told me that I did not have to come back for another session. The answer that I have been searching for came to light after 2 EFT sessions! Wow!"
Alice, financial planner

"I attended EFT sessions with Lena over a 3 month period, during which I have experienced Lena's warmth, kindness, sincerity, passion as a therapist. Lena has empowered and inspired me to use EFT to work through my chronic issues related to anxiety. I particularly appreciate Lena's gentle and patient therapeutic style, which has helped me to be more gentle and patient with myself; I now find that my negative feelings of self-loathing are quicker to translate into greater self-acceptance. I am also struck by Lena's spot-on sense of intuition, which has given her the wonderful ability to unravel core issues that underpin many behavioural traits."
Deana, graduate student

May you have a truly blessed and wonderful week ahead! And wishing everyone a Happy Hari Raya Haji!

Love and blessings,
