25th Jan 2015 Connective Session: Mediation and The Money Game

Good day Beings of the flow…

Meditation helps us to quieten our mind. Allow us a space to relax and surrender with ease. Everyone should commit to at least once in a day to meditate even if it’s just for 1 min. Let’s make it our passion together to reach inwards to ourselves.

We then invested our time to share about the thought: Rest and Relax. The True surrender. Through the cycles of meeting with basic Space – as the element in which All Exists- we learn not only to dare to surrender- and die into this Space, but to relax and embrace fully the rest in the Blackness of non-existence and the Peace which is it. To truly awaken, the passion of Life needs to turn towards the silence of Space.

The third part of our time we discussed – “In fact, you have this root thought about just about everything. There’s not enough money, there’s not enough time, there’s not enough love, there’s not enough food, water, compassion in the world….. whatever there is that’s good, there’s just not enough.”

This race consciousness of “not-enough-ness” creates and recreates the world as you see it. It is time now to adopt a New Thought about all this.

We should re-programmed our mind to reach out to 

Concept 1: There’s enough

Concept 2: Turn around your life by turning around your values.

Till our next meetup.

Passionately Sharing,

20th Dec 2014 Connective Session: 3 steps to Raising Our Consciousness

What is higher consciousness?

Most people, when asked what Consciousness is, will reply that it is the state of being awake. That is most certainly true, for that it is. But when people reply with this answer, they are almost always talking about the state of being physically awake. This is not the kind of Consciousness we’re talking about here. For one could be physically awake and still be largely or totally unconscious in their overall awareness.

Therefore, we feel that the most connective definition is “Consciousness is the ability of a being to recognize patterns and meaning with respect to events taking place, both within oneself and in the external realm in which the self exists and operates.”

This ability is the fundamental driving force of all Creation. It could be said that all of Creation itself IS Consciousness in various forms and states of awareness. Consciousness is required for matter to exist. Consciousness creates the observable effects we perceive in our world. Everything that exists in the seemingly “external” domain first exists as a construct in Consciousness before becoming manifested through form.

Consciousness, or the lack thereof, is the agency responsible for the conditions in which we find ourselves, in all times and all places.

The recap of our last session….

In our last connection, some of you tap into your higher consciousness through meditation and others through oracle ritual. Both methods are alike to gateways, opening the door to tap into your higher consciousness. Meditation or oracle rituals are just some ways to “lighten” yourself  so that you can tap into or raise your consciousness. It is often portrayed as some sort of super-human accomplishment that will grant us spiritual super powers… but it is simply about becoming freer within ourselves. The freer we feel within – not “because” of this or that – the LIGHTER we are. Becoming enlightened is simply about lightening up. We can now forget about becoming something more “special.” Raising our consciousness is simply the process of lightening up our load of baggage so we can move freely and fluidly as the light beings that we already are!

Here are 3 tips and insights that have personally helped me lighten up my own load and shift my consciousness

1. Be You in Every Moment  

Simple? Yep.. IT IS SIMPLE! Replace pretense with your presence. You don’t have to wait until you feel “good,” “perfect,” “enlightened” or wait for something to happen for you to relax into your own being. You don’t need to look at anothers journey and compare, judge or doubt yourself either. This type of thinking just tricks you out of the perfection of you in this moment anyways. No matter what you are feeling or what the situation is, just be you and let the rest unfold.

2. Love Freely

Many of us have adopted the belief that love can hurt, or that conditions need to be met before we can allow love to flow. If we truly want to lighten up, we need to let the doors of our hearts open even if this means releasing built up pain from the past. This will not only release our old perceptions of conditional love, but will also give us the opportunity to experience the freedom of unconditional love for others and most importantly ourselves.The truth is, love always flows effortlessly between all beings regardless of external appearances and roles. We ARE Love, and we are one! When we let go of the fear of feeling and allow energy to flow in and out of the heart, we will realize it is not love that hurts. Unconditional love is our natural state; what is “hurting” are the protections and conditions we build around it.

3. Let Go of the Fear of Feeling

Discovering who we are is no different than opening the door of a house – the house being a metaphor for our human mind. It’s a great step, we’re letting some light in! But does it mean we have visited it thoroughly? Does it necessarily mean we have experienced each room, opened every closet, and even spent some time in the “scary” basement? Perhaps we have quickly peaked in each room, but have we taken the time to explore them fully, meditate in them, open the windows to let some light in, and perhaps do a little clean up? Are we okay with leaving the doors open for us and others to see?The light of our awareness isn’t limited to entering what is comfortable and acceptable to the mind. It is here to illuminate all rooms – even those dusty closets with all of the old, emotionally charged baggage we have been reluctant to explore. What has laid dormant within each room is often ignored. But now, the winds of change are blowing all doors open and many of us are feeling and re-experiencing many emotions that we have once protected ourselves from feeling again. The only thing that blocks us from seeing the blessing in letting the wind blow us open is the fear of feeling. When we choose to not be controlled and defined by this fear anymore, we naturally keep all of our doors open knowing that it cannot break who we are, but only identities with old patterns that were limiting our inner-freedom and peace anyways.

“The intent of this journey isn’t to ‘feel good,’ but rather to feel whats actually unfolding within us right now. In other words, our intent isn’t to feel better, but to get better at feeling.

Our authentic state of presence is joyful, harmonious, peaceful and loving. However, to awaken to our presence initially requires journeying through the current condition of the emotional body.” – Michael Brown, The Presence Process

Hope above share some insights in raising our consciousness.

Namaste!

07th Dec 2014 Connective Session: My life as a trailer

Last session we invested our time to watch a short film, “my life as a trailer”. Personally i love this short film. How about you? Imagine your life story as a movie trailer. That’s Julia assignment in the film. As she struggled to define who she really is, she begins to see the bigger picture. And I hoped the 15min film can set you thinking of the question:”who am I?”.

No one told us what we were. No one told us we should go. No one told us that it would be easy. Someone once said that we are our dreams. If we don’t dream we are no longer alive. We’ll fight for our dreams, we’ll pursue our passions, because we believe that the meaning of life is not following anyone else’s path. The meaning is in forging our own paths towards what we love. And despite the difficulties, every fall teaches us how to carry on.

Reflective questions: 

1) What life choices have you made trying to please someone else?
2) How would you like your life movie to end?

At the end of our life adventure, what are we after? Might it be life? What is the ultimate objective of all experiences?Of all adventure? Of life? Is it achieving goals or moving towards them? Is it reaching the horizon or discovering the landscapes we cross to get there? Is life crossing the finish line or the emotions and feelings inside ourselves? We are people forged from dreams, emotions and feelings.

Real life is what we carry inside us and only in silence can we truly explore ourselves.

Connect with all of you again in our next meetup.

Namaste!

30th Nov 2014 Connective Session: I am Nobody

Grateful for your time with me at our last connective session. Another awesome reflective session.
The “Nobody” concept is a deep connection. In regards to the various important segments of our life, we dived in deep and decide if there is anything needed to change if we have nothing to do with our body, or pleasing, caring for, or protecting the body of another. 
Actually, your life is not about what your body is doing, yet what your body is doing is a reflection of what your life is all about. There is another way of saying that your body shows everyone what your life is about, but your life is not about what your body does.
 
Pause and reflect: if you make all your daily choices and decisions based on what it does for your body, you will wind up spending many years engaged in activities- what I call “doinging-ness”- having nothing to do with you soul. Your soul will feel empty. You will wonder what your life has been all about. The interesting thing about this is that no one else will care, no one is keeping score, no one is watching. No one even has a judgement about how it all turns out. Not even GOD. In the end, it’s just us and our Selves. Just us and Us.
 
Have a less resistance , more fluid days ahead.  Namaste!

Till our next connection….

16th Nov 2014 Connective Session: Conversations

“There is no coincidence, and nothing happens ‘by accident.’ Each event and adventure is called to your Self by your Self in order that you might create and experience Who You Really Are. All that is required is to know this. For you are the creator of your own reality, and life can show up in no other way for you than the way in which you think it will.” ~N. W

Thanks for your time with me last sunday. We had lots of “ahas” and “candy floss”. I loved connecting with all. I am grateful for these connections.

Our conversation with Universe:

1) Reference Idea/ Thought:  You are a human being

Connection: everything we do is an attempt to achieve a State of Being-ness.

BEingness, as we discussed has everything to do with creating your life experience. What I notice is that most have the formula backwards. Most attempt to create BEingness through either Doing or Having — if I do this or get that, I will then be the thing called happy. These two will not produce the long-term desired results simply because they are not the right tool for the job.

It truly is as Shakespeare said: “To Be or not To Be”! Remember that whatever your choice, life will comply and create the way to do and have that experience…so choose wisely!

I have explained further and with the exercises we did proven the above connecting idea.

2) Reference Idea/Thought: To want something is to push it away from you. – Want it, Waste It.

lets think of it this way- the Universe, is a great big Xerox machine. like a photocopier, it does not make judgements about what you put into it. It simply duplicates it.

I like to always say to myself and others: ” you are always praying”…. Think of it. Imagine it. How would you feel, what would you change if you lived within a paradigm which announced that every thoughts, word, deed is a prayer? Your statement are your requests. Thus, I said be careful what you ask for! 

Next class, we will continue our conversation with the lovable abundance universe and continue to expand our soul consciousness. 

Till our next sharing..

Namaste!

02nd Nov 2014 Connective Session: Twin Flames Love

Waking Times

If we are thinking, dreaming or hoping to find our True Love, ‘Soul Mate’ or TwinSoul, or if we believe that we found our ‘perfect’ relationship, we may be in for an ego surprise…. Relationships can be based on True Love or on Ego, on higher or lower consciousness level; on Freedom or on Karma; on purpose or on pragmatism, but perfect relationships don’t exist.

You could meet him or her, your Other Half, your Divine Counterpart, your ultimate mirror. Only your heart can tell. And the heart is ecstatic, just like True Love. Twin Flame love is the highest possible form of love and it provides you with all the tools for your personal development. It is a kind of love that is both unsettling and all-embracing at the same time. Conflicting isn’t it?

After meeting your Twin you can feel hopelessly lonely and not being understood at all. Everything regarding ‘normal’ love you believed in is suddenly overthrown. Love as you knew it from romantic movies and books needs new insights. You cannot associate yourself with that love any longer, and you are no longer able to move on as an individual. You and your Twin are One: a unity, two flames of the fire of life. You are so close, you are One. Forever the perfect ‘double strength’ of life. You have been ‘renewed’, for every single minute to come, forever. And this is hard, to say the least.

You are expected to learn to love unconditionally. Unconditional love is the kind of love you experience when you have children. The secret to loving unconditionally is to ignore the ‘if’: you say ‘I love you.’, instead of ‘I love you, if.. you do this or that’. Twin Flame love goes beyond that, because pure love gives without expecting anything in return.

We are right in the middle of the Age of Aquarius. In every NOW new meetings and recognitions emerge from the Light and Love. To create love, to expand love. When you experience the truth of your heart, it is beyond doubt that you are half of a Twin Flame couple or that you may meet him or her, that another person exists with you, every single heartbeat. It is written in your heart, and it exists deeply within your being, far away from any words or concepts.

Twin Flames are the light workers in the rhythm at the High Heart level. They are united to make the cosmic energy dance once again, and they burn within the hearts of mankind. Know that reunion will occur. 

Are you having doubts of your own? Ask your heart, and listen. Silence your mind, and feel your heart presenting you with the answer. When you are making up answers, thinking them, you are not in the right place. When you feel the answers, you are.

During your journey towards your Twin Flame/kindred soul, you may get lost in doubt. However, your ‘spirit guides’ always present to confirm again and again that you are on the right track, that you are not crazy. You may experience situations that cannot simply be coincidental.  

Twin Flames are rising, whirling and pulsating symbolisms of life.

In the beginning, we had a perfect connection and were perfectly attuned to each other. And slowly yet steadily we are returning to this wonderful state of unity.

Till our next session,

Katherine Goh

12th Oct 2014 Connective Session: The Mirror Spread

In this class, we explored  a tarot spread layout – The Mirror Reflective Spread.

This is a fourteen card Tarot spread that looks at the internal and external part of the subject or events. We should read the 14  cards individually and proceed reading the 14 cards to one big picture of the reading.

The Mirror Spread of the Tarot is a very effective tool for gaining insight into problems or difficulties concerning relationships ; any form of relationships. For instance, relationship with self, romance partners, business partners etc…

Preparing to Lay Out the Mirror Spread

Each Tarot reader will have a different way of preparing for a reading. Some meditate, some just jump right in. Most will have a ritual of some kind, even if it only involves unwrapping the Tarot cards from their protective black cloth and spreading this cloth upon the reading surface.

For the Mirror Spread, both the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana should be shuffled together. There is no firm rule for shuffling these cards. Most Tarot readers simply shuffle until they are satisfied, and then proceed with the reading.  I usually advise people to shuffle their age to cleanse the existing energies of their deck before they proceed on a new question.While shuffling, it is important that you maintain absolute focus on the relationship in question.

Once shuffled, all seventy-eight Tarot cards should be spread face-down. Then making sure that each card is placed precisely. The more precise the placement, the more accurate the reading.

The Mirror Spread of the Tarot can reveal depths to a relationship, new or old, of which you may not have been aware. Remember that any major life decision should not be made solely based on what a Tarot spread may or may not indicate. However, the Mirror Spread can be used to gain additional insight/guidance when it is needed.

Till our next session.

Namaste!

7th Sept 2014 Connective Session: Tarot Major Arcana

The Major Arcana Tarot card meanings illustrate the structure of human consciousness and, as such, hold the keys to life lessons passed down through the ages. The imagery of the Major Arcana Tarot cards is filled with wisdom from multiple cultures and esoteric traditions, including the Egyptian, Buddhist, Hindu, Sufi, Hebrew and Christian religions.

The word ‘arcana’ is the plural of ‘arcanum’, which means ‘profound secret’. To the alchemists of the Middle Ages, the ‘arcanum’ was the ‘secret of nature’.

Therefore, the Tarot is a collection of the ‘secrets’ that underlie and explain our complex Universe.

The Major Arcana alone can interpret their messages regarding the soul’s journey through life, and the archetypal aspects of your character. The Major Arcana symbolizes the aspects of the Universal human experiences. They represent the archetypes and patterns of influence that are an inherent part of human nature.

Therefore it is important to study the images of the Major Arcana cards and contemplate their messages. Look beyond the simple keywords and traditional Tarot card meanings, and seek out your own personal meanings of these significant cards. The more you understand about their symbolism, the deeper your understanding of what they represent.

This class we delve deeper into each major arcana. Each participant is given a list of keywords associated with each major card. It is possible to conduct a Tarot reading only using the twenty-two Major Arcana cards. This method is typically used for Tarot readings relating to spiritual self-awareness or where you require deep insight from the collective unconscious.

Till our next session in end September.

Namaste!

30th August 2014 Connective Session: Tarot Numerology

One of the most ancient applications of the science of Numerology has to do with the design and creation of the Tarot cards.

The numbers on each Tarot card are enormously significant in the interpretation of their meanings. Each Tarot card is specifically numbers, and the images on each card reverberates in order to convey its meaning to the reader or interpreter, who then analyses such matters as current issues, relationships, future options and choices and the like.

Numerology is the study of numbers and their incredible effect on our lives. Numerology could, however, be better named ‘The Science of Numbers’. Numbers have been in existence since the beginning of time and predates all Alphabets.

This class we invest our time to study numbers with our tarots. A list of number 0-9 are given to the participants together with corresponding keywords to guide us along. For example, the number 7 is a spiritual number. Key words associated with number 7 includes: natural healer, inner-strength,inner-selves, intuition, inner-knowing etc..

Each number has a different vibration, and can therefore give us a better understanding of one’s pathway, and the circumstances which surround our life. It can direct one to the career best suited to each person, and gives us the opportunity to be more aware of the talents we have and of the pathways we choose to utilize them. It also tells us of the compatibility we have with another, especially who would be most compatible as a partner for you. It tells you how you may best help your family and friends, due to the numbers which control their lives.

Each number is influenced by a different planet in our Solar System. Each letter of the alphabet vibrates to a given number, 1 – 9, which is also the span of our life cycles. These numbers under which we were born, plus the numbers in our names, are the tools we are given in order that we may accomplish our mission in life, and enable us to work through all our Karmic Lessons. The Vibratory Power of each number affects us in both Positive and Negative ways.

Combining your tarot reading with numerology gives in depth reading to the enquirer. 

Start appreciating numbers with your tarot.

Namaste!
