Nov 1st Connective Session: New Learning – Deeper Reflection Part 2

This post is a continuation on my earlier Deeper Reflection post.

To start the session, we discussed :Why do Smart People do Dumb Things. How can someone so Smart be so Stupid?

People buy high and sell low. They believe in superstition. They figure it can’t happen to them. People talked on the cellphone while driving. They supersize their fries and burgers and order the diet Coke. I read an article somewhere recently saying that the reason smart people can sometimes be stupid is that intelligence and rationality are different.

“There is a narrow set of cognitive skills that we track and that we call intelligence. But that’s not the same as intelligent behaviour in the real world,” Stanovich says. Stanovich is an adjunct professor of human development and applied psychology at the University of Toronto who studies intelligence and rationality.

Real world demands require more than intelligence but rational thinking styles and skills. Human thinking is the product of two different channels or systems. System 1 thinking is instinctive, emotion based and faster, while System 2 thinking is more deliberate, effortful and hence slower. We switch between System 1 and 2 subconsciously all the time.

It is not how well we think, but whether we choose to engage our brains for deliberate thinking that determines our rationality.

What this means is that even though we can, often we choose not to think. Thus, I always quote “ Thinking is the hardest thing to do. ~ Henry Ford”

I think its time to give our good old brain a workout!

Our session continues…. Deeper Self-Reflection

Deep Reflection on….

Reflection No. 3 Awareness – Whenever there is negativity in you, if you can be aware at that moment that there is something in you that takes pleasure in it or believes it has a useful purpose, you are becoming aware of the ego directly. The moment this happens your identity has shifted from ego to awareness. this means the ego is shrinking and awareness is growing.

Self awareness is developed through practices in focusing your attention on the details of your personality and behavior. It isn’t learned from reading a book. When you read a book you are focusing your attention on the conceptual ideas in the book. With your attention in a book you are practicing not paying attention to your own behavior, emotions and personality.

Think of learning to be mindful and self aware as learning to dance. When learning to dance we have to pay attention to how and where our feet move, our hands and body motion, what our partner is doing, music, beat, floor space, and other dancers. Self awareness isn’t learned from books and the Tango isn’t either.

Momentum Learning: What are you aware about yourself?

We will continue our next session on more new learnings and reflection.

See you all in our next session again.

Oct 13 Connective Session: New Learning – Deeper Reflection

Learning is both an active and reflective process. Though we learn by doing, constructing, building, talking, and writing, we also learn by thinking about events, activities and experiences. This confluence of experiences (action) and thought (reflection) combines to create new knowledge. Both action and reflection are essential ingredients in the construction of knowledge.

In our last sharing session, we were privileged to spend time on deep reflection on a few topics.

Our Learning involves the focus on Plato’s directive, “know thyself” which can lead to a lifetime of investigation. Self-knowledge becomes an outcome of learning.

Deep Reflection on….

Reflection No. 1 : Allowing – Through allowing, you become what you are: vast, spacious. You become whole. You are not a fragment anymore, which is how the ego perceives itself. your true nature emerges,which is one with the nature of God.

Meditation: What are your life rules? Peel them off one by one….

Reflection No. 2 : Knowing thyself – knowing yourself goes far deeper than the adoption of a set of ideas or beliefs. Spiritual ideas and beliefs may at best be helpful pointers, but in themselves they rarely have the power to dislodge the more firmly established core concepts of who you think you are, which is part of the conditioning of the human mind.

Momentum Session: Who am i ?

We will continue our next session on more new learnings and reflection.

See you all in our next session again.

September 29 Connective Goal Setting Session: Who you really are?

You were sent to earth with a mission to fulfill. This mission has to do with your passion. If you want to be happy and fulfilled with enthusiasm, you have to discover what your mission is and organize your life and activities in function of your mission.

Remember your purpose in life is to be Who You Really Are.

In our last sharing session, we started the session checking our energies alignment and then moved on to checking up our inner goals.

After which, I have shared that “if you want guarantees in life, then you don’t want life. You want rehearsals for a script that’s already been written.” We need to discover who we really are and live our life with flow. We believe that we are thoughts, emotions, and stories. Living is flowing.

Part of your reason for coming to earth is to evolve yourself and part of it is to serve humanity in some way. The process of evolving yourself is called your life purpose, and the service you came to offer humanity is called your life’s work. They are intertwined because as you evolve, you serve others in a much better way, and the process of serving others can also result in your evolution. Everything you do to evolve yourself and carry out your life’s work is an act of aligning with the Higher Will and your Higher Self. Allow your Flow to happen.

We did Astrology (Virgo & Libra) Reading on Self-Connection on the 2nd part of our session. We gain awareness on our past karma, what’s need to learn and apply to Present Life and what’s need to let go. Finally we also meditate to connect with our twin flame.

To end our session, i shared what i feel is the The Best relationship Vows ever (a version dedicated to my students) ….

To my students,I agree at a conscious level that the purpose of my relationship with you is and will always be to create an opportunity, not an obligation – an opportunity of growth, for full self-expression, for lifting our lives to their highest potential, for healing every false thought or small idea we’ve ever had about ourselves, and for ultimate reunion with God through the communion of our souls.

Namaste Om.

See you all in our next session again.

With Love & Light,

September 10 Connective Goal Setting Session: Self -Connection Part 2

We constantly seek a deeper experience of life, one way or the other. Whatever one may seek God, alcohol, meditation or any thing that one feels will provide relief, give pleasure or fulfillment you are only seeking to have a larger slice of life .

The intention is always the same, somehow to have a deeper experience, to extract a little more out of life, to find access to that which is not yet for you. The question is not of the intention as the intention is always the same; it is only of whether it works or not.

On the first part of our session, we were given two quotes to think about and to connect within ourselves. How these quotes relates to our very being.

“Time is fluid and flows backwards and forwards simultaneously”

“No longer being pushed by your past, instead being pulled by your unique destiny.”

I trust that we had very powerful realisations and appreciation on this. 😀

In the second part of our last session, we had the opportunity to have deep reflection on some questions we wanted to asked ourselves. We were blessed to have infused with new cords along the meditation, new templates and new soul programming.

Meditation helps you create a deeper understanding of yourself

The true self is buried deep in the psyche. On the level of daily consciousness, you are not your true self, but a reflection of the greater society: You are restrained from the understanding of your true self by the expectations of others, and by your own fears and doubts. In order to get beyond your idea of yourself and discover who you truly are, you need to go beyond everyday consciousness and into the deeper levels of consciousness available when you focus your mind in meditation.

Concluding….Connecting….

The nature and basis of your experience is within you. Pain and pleasure, joy and misery, agony and ecstasy happen only within you. The very seat of your experience is within you. So why try to extract joy from outside? At best, the outside can provide a stimulus.

If you depend on the outside to bring joy to you, understand that the outside never happens a hundred per cent the way you want it. Those who think that there is something like an ideal situation are not in touch with reality. No situation or person will ever happen a hundred per cent the way you want it. But at least you should happen the way you want yourself to be. Then there would be no need for you to be in pursuit of your happiness. So the question is not of intention or direction, but of doing that which works.

Namaste Om.

See you all in our next session again.

Aug 16 2013 Connective Goal Setting Session – Past Life

In our last session, we shared and discussed deeply about Past Life. What is Past Life Experience? To put it simply, a Past Life Experiences (PLE) is, or at least seems to be, memories of events, feelings and people that appear to come from before the present lifetime began. These experiences may be quite vivid, as if one were actually reliving them, or observational, as if one were watching a movie or leafing through a picture album. They often, almost always in fact, give us an insight into issues, problems or concerns of the current life.

In the session, i have explained the Reincarnation Wheel in depth above. Remember 20% destiny and 80% self-Mastery? You are the Master of your own destiny. One must take full responsibility of your life. Know that you can make the changes you want in your life.

We then moved on to do a spread about your Past Life. This is a fourteen card spread which examines the querent’s past life.

We seem to come this space to learn our spiritual lessons and accumulate or resolve our karma with our soul groups. I always feel its utmost important to unlock the root cause of your current life problems. A trauma or unresolved issue in our past lives will be carried on to the current life and recreated into current life’s relationship, health of career problems. Past life Experience can help you to identify the root cause of your current life problem or issue, and healing will take place to resolve it.

We shall meet again soon.

July 2013 Connective Goal Setting Session – Will I find True Love?

Dear Connectors,

Many people ask ”how do I find love”? There are many affectionate, kind and wonderful people who are single – and wish they weren’t. So why can’t you find them? Why haven’t you been able to find the love you’ve always wanted? You can. You can escape the loneliness, the hurt, the pain – you can find love. You just need a little more information.

The first secret is to understand what true love actually is! It’s not quite the love you tend to see around you, in most books, on television and at the movies. Rather it’s the highest form of love, where you’re so connected with someone that loving is easy, serene, caring – true. Some people call it finding your soul mate and to even deeper connection – Twin Flame.

In our last sharing, we went in deeper, connecting with oneself. We uses the Seven Card Tarot spread to help us connects to our inner voice. Some of the questions addressed as follows:

1. Will I ever find true love?
2. Will the attraction be instant or a slow-burning realization?
3. What will this person be like physically?
4. What will this person be like emotionally?
5. Are there issues I needs to deal with that are delaying a meeting/relationship with this person?
6. Are there issues this person needs to deal with that are preventing a meeting/relationship?
7. When/where/how will I meet this person?

Up until recently most people, including scientists, believed love was about chemistry and the interaction of molecules and hormones within you. Chemicals forced you to act in certain ways and create what you perceived as love. But we all know that when you text or speak to your lover on the phone those molecules don’t cross space and trigger a chemical reaction. We now know there’s something more powerful involved.

Science now shows that those chemicals are set in motion by electromagnetic signaling, or what you might simply think of energy.

This echoes how we each know that we should look beyond the physical to find true love.

When you’re ‘in love’ your energies – such as those measured by your brain and heart waves – as well as those chemicals, emotions, thoughts and actions are focused and flowing together in one direction.

This is a little like a laser, which brings together and amplifies waves of light energy to make a powerful and illuminating beam that’s stronger than the individual light waves on their own.

So now you know that love is, ultimately, energy!

You are no longer at the mercy of those chemicals and don’t have to wait until you bump into someone else whose chemicals interact well with yours to experience love. You have more control than you realize over love! Once you understand the power of love you can then do something about it.

We will continue our next class with more learning.

Till our next sharing session. Namaste Om.

With Love & Light,

Katherine Goh

P/S: Our next session is schedule on the 16th August at 5.00pm. See you all again.

July 2013 Connective Goal Setting Session – Wish For a Partner

Dear Connectors,

Once upon a time, little girls were told fairy tales about handsome princes with magical kisses who would ride up on a white stallion and whisk them away to the land called Happily Ever After. Then reality struck. The white stallion was a beat-up old car and the prince turned out to be a jerk. Happily Ever After seemed to be a never, Neverland.

Does it sounds familiar?

We all wishes for our Twin Flame or Soul Mate but sometimes may not be a smooth journey.

Then one smart princess decided to do some research. She discovered prayers, meditations, intentions and rituals Potent enough to manifest anything and everything her heart desired.
First she used it to get a parking space. Next she started a business and built a big, fun career. Finally she used all her manifestation tools to land a soul mate. Not just any soul mate; the best soul mate ever! And in the process she discovered that happily ever after is really possible after all. Its all about the 3As: Attitude, Awareness and Actions.

She is happily married with her high school classmate, both of them working toward growing old together lovingly and peacefully.

In our 12th July class, we have engaged “Wish For a Partner” Spread for guidance – Will my desire for a partnership have a chance in the next six months? We integrated Tarot readings with Numerology and Colour cards to our readings. The objective is to have awareness on this aspect of our life, working towards what we need to, paying attention to our Attitude towards how we deal with situations, events or people.

We will continue our next class with more learning.

Till our next sharing session.

Namaste Om,

With Love & Light,

June 2013 Connective Goal Setting Session – Family Relationships Blocks and Past Life Events

Dear Connectors,

Family Relationship Blocks

June session we were privilege to find out what to look for during our family outings. In healthy family relationships, people are able to trust and rely on each other for support, love, affection and warmth. Families often share common goals and try to work together to reach those goals. However, sometimes these may not come easy. No matter how close family members are, there bound to have conflicts.

Conflict is a normal and healthy part of family life. For example, families often disagree over things like house rules, which holiday destinations, what food to have for dinner which TV shows to watch. Families are made up of individuals who will sometimes have different ideas, wants or needs. Conflict can occur at any time so it is important for families to have effective ways of managing it. Conflict itself is not a problem–but the way it is handled might be. When conflict is managed in positive ways, family relationships are strengthened. For example, agreeing that everyone gets to choose their favourite TV show that week and to take turns watching something they enjoy. When not dealt with effectively, conflict can be stressful and damaging to relationships.

In our June session, Katherine has provided some suggestions about how to strengthen family relationships so positive experiences outweigh difficult ones. When relationships are strong and healthy, they are better able to withstand the stress of challenging times and celebrate the positive experiences.

Building positive family relationships is about dealing with conflicts as well as making time to relax and do fun things together.

Past Life Events

In the second part of the session, Katherine went on to work on past life events for a participant- Mr A. (Name is masked for privacy of the client).

One method of recall of a past life is meditation. Our mind can be put into a meditative state, similar to hypnosis, where past life recall can occur. This meditative state is similar to yoga, where the distractions of the world are filtered out and one becomes more in tune with the inner self. You must totally relax, and clear the mind of any thought. It is when your mind is completely clear of all the clutter and distractions of the world that you will often be able to see clearly into your past life. This may come as a vision, a clear image. It may be a brief image, and you have no control over what you see. With this method you will probably only see a little at a time, a gradual disclosure.

Till our next sharing session in July.

Namaste Om,

With Love & Light,

Katherine Goh

P/S: Our next session is schedule on the 12th July at 4.30pm. See you all again.

May 2013 Connective Goal Setting Session – Twin Flame & Soul Mate

Dear Connectors,

In our last session, besides spending time to look and feel deeper on our monthly goals so that we can take Actions on our goals, we also entered into a Twin Flame and Soul Mate discussion.

There are things that our soul remembers when we incarnate, and the more we move along our path, we are given glimpses of memory through signs from the universe, through soul mate relationships and our internal guidance. You are reading this right now for a reason and it is up to you to decide why it is, what message you will take from this, as well as how you will incorporate it into your life. You could also decide to just take it in and release it…you are given free will and therefore never forced to do anything. You are the creator of your life masterpiece and it is all beautiful.

I remembered watching a movie: Made In Heaven Movie – A Story of Twin Flame Reunion.

What Is A Twin Flame?

Twin flames, also called twin souls, are literally the other half of our soul. We each have only one twin, and generally after being split the two went their separate ways, incarnating over and over to gather human experience before coming back together. Ideally, this happens in both of their last lifetimes on the planet so they can ascend together. So you probably haven’t had many lifetimes with your twin and it’s certainly useful to be aware of the twin flame signs.

Each twin is a complete soul, not half a soul. It is their task to become more whole, balancing their female and male sides, and ideally become enlightened, before reuniting with their twin. This reunion is of two complete and whole beings. All other relationships through all our lives could be said to be “practice” for the twin, the ultimate relationship.

What Is A Soulmate?

Soulmates are our soul family, the ones we do have many lifetimes and experiences with, who help us grow and evolve, create and dissipate karma. According to ancient wisdom, when the soul is “born” or descended from Source, it is created in a group. The souls in this group are our soulmates, ones who are very like us in frequency makeup. Then each of these souls is split into two, creating the twins.

A soulmate is someone you are close to at a soul level, and with whom you have had many shared experiences in different lifetimes, in various kinds of relationships — siblings, parent-child, best friend, as well as romantic relationships. There is a deep love for each other, and a spiritual bond that sets them apart from the superficiality of most other people in your life. Conversations are generally deep, about personal growth and service to make the world a better place. We can have many soulmates in our lives, and they come to us to help us grow spiritually.

Have I Meet My Twin?

Your chance of meeting and staying with your twin depends on how evolved your soul is, and how much of your baggage from this and past lives you have cleared. The biggest reason twins have to separate after coming together is their individual emotional baggage. Because in the presence of your twin, there can be nothing between you, nothing blocking your closeness. This means that everything comes up for healing that you haven’t previously healed. Everything!

When twins reunite, both of them experience an acceleration of their spiritual growth and awakening. They get on the fast track of learning about esoteric wisdom and experiencing other states of consciousness. They usually haven’t been together all that often during their series of lives on the planet, and so their backgrounds may be different. Yet, there is a closeness and similarities of spirit that are almost uncanny, noticed in many ways, such as looking back at yourself when you look at your mate, and a remembering of the distant past when you first split up. Guidance is strong with these relationships, and usually one or both have a good channel for communication with Spirit. Their connection is telepathic, and hugging each other is like coming home for nourishment.

Namaste Om,

With Love & Light,

Katherine Goh
