June 28th 2014 Connective Session: Half Yearly Review

By doing half yearly review, I find that it helps me take stock of what went well and why, and what I need to work on.

I like to think that if I’m 6 months into the year, then technically I should be a half of the way through my goals.

Well, I know it’s not that simple or straightforward but it helps to have something to aim towards. 

We are nearly half-way through the year and my question to you is this – are you on track with your goals?

Over the last six months we have dropped a goal, missed some and just reached others. I enjoy the half yearly goals check up. I see it as a time to review, refocus and restart. Sometimes we have dwelled too much on what we haven’t achieved and not recognised appropriately or celebrated our successes. This is a chance to reward ourselves if our goals are accomplished. 

Reviews my 2014 goals are: 

  1. Me – I am less rushed and more peaceful. Investing time to increase my knowledge on dharma.
  2. Family  –  I spend more time chatting with mum to know her thoughts and emotions. Quality conversations.
  3. Relationship – We have more time together on our own and support each others interests. We spend more QUALITY time doing things together, such as DIY crafts and leave our car at home and do the walks to the supermarket or the evening walks in the park.
  4. Work –Need to improved on this area!
  5. House – Middle of the renovation and should be ready for new house warming by November this year.
  6. Family Planning – Need to improved on this area!
  7. Financial Planning/Investment – On track and need to find new resources and networks. 

Why It’s So Important to Have Time to Think about our status of our yearly goals (and How to Find It)?

Take the time each and every day to recharge and think.

You can’t think of big pictures without actually having the time and the space to step back. You need to do this without clients calling you every three seconds, without the to-do lists that weigh heavy on your shoulders, and if you can afford it, a retreat might actually be the best way to do it.

I couldn’t afford a retreat this year in time, but I found a few other ways to disconnect from everything and take the time to think about the overall scope of my business and my career. Here are a few:

  1. Go for a daily run.
  2. Take an hour before bed to think about your goals
  3. Travel
  4. Meditate & Tarot Guidance

How are you going with your goals for 2014?

Till our next class.

 

May 31st 2014 Connective Session: Searching for a Meaning

Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure or a quest for power but a quest for meaning.

The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her life.  Some saw three possible sources for meaning:
a] in work (doing something significant)
b] in love (caring for another person)
c] and in courage during difficult times.

This class we uses tarot spread to guide us or the least to give us some tips about our leaming to life. Through tarot readings, we can dig deeper into our subconscious and investigate what give us meaning in this lifetime.

What is Money meant to me?

Katherine requested the participants to answer the following question:

If someone gave you a million dollars right now, what you would do with it?

Using a Yes/No spread to confirm what you written is genuine.

Tarot Reading Definition

Major Arcana Yes
Minor Arcana No

Even Numbers Yes
Odd Numbers No

Court Cards

King No
Queen Yes
Knight No
Page Yes

What you have written is truly what you you want to do on earth. Your purpose of living. How far are you off tracked?

Who do you feel you are ? What is the meaning in your life?

Till the next class,

July 28th 2014 Connective Session: Pendulum Divination

Using pendulums for divination is a technique that is over two hundred years old. It is used to better understand your intuition, and to speak with your subconscious mind. In this class, you will learn how you yourself can create and use pendulums for divination.

Choosing and using a pendulum

The most popular form of pendulum is cylindrical clear crystal quartz rounded or pointed at one end. Amethyst is good for earth energies work and rose quartz for health related questions or for protection. Whatever is the case, choosing and using a pendulum is a very important criteria in pendulum divination.

Charge Your Pendulum is also an important step in the process of creating your pendulum divination. 

Calibrate Your Pendulum

To calibrate your pendulum simply means you’re checking it to see how it’s working. To do this, hold it by the free end of the chain so that the weighted end is loose. Make sure you keep it perfectly still. Ask a simple Yes/No question to which you already know the answer is Yes, such as “Am I female?” or “Do I live in Singapore?”

Keep your eye on the pendulum, and when it starts moving, note whether it goes side to side, forwards to backwards, or some other direction. This indicates your “Yes” direction.

Now, repeat the process, asking a question to which you know the answer is No. This will give you your “No” direction. It’s a good idea to do this a few times with different questions, so you can get a feel for how your pendulum responds to you. Some will swing horizontally or vertically, others swing in small or large circles, others don’t do a whole lot unless the answer is really important. Once you’ve calibrated your pendulum and gotten to know it a bit, you can use it for some basic divination.

We had a fun evening creating and “playing” with our pendulum divination boards we have created.

Till the next class…

Stay Creative and Fun,

August 17th 2014 Connective Session: Fear & Love

Who has no fear? Fear sucks. It has a terrible way of taking over our lives, despite our best efforts. 

Fear is worry magnified. Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards, harms.

Overcoming Fear will help with preventing fears from interfering with your life.

It’s worth the courage it takes to modify your behavior, because fear and anxiety are huge obstacles to building self esteem and confidence. 

This session we are privileged to face our own fears. We have learnt about how we can face and challenged our fears positively.

So, how to Overcome Fear? Katherine recommends four ways:

  1. Start by acknowledging it.
  2. Define its parameters. Approaching your fear as something with a beginning and an end can help you see that you have the power to contain it. If you can clearly see the shape of your fear, you’ll be able to recognize when its affecting you and handle it more effectively. Consider you are bigger than your fear and fear will slowly cease to exists.
  3. Imagine the outcome you desire.
  4. Start seeing fear as an opportunity.

The opposite of Fear :  LOVE

Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, stays, reveals, shares, heals.

Fear wraps our bodies in clothing, love allows us to stand naked. Fear clings to and clutches all that we have, love gives all that we have away. Fear holds close, love holds dear. Fear grasps, love lets go. Fear rankles, love soothes. Fear attacks, love amends.

Every human thought, word, or deed is based in one emotion or the other. You have no choice about this, because there is nothing else from which to choose. But you have free choice about which of these to select. You can choose Love instead of Fear.

Catch up with all of you in our next sharing session.

May 13th 2014 Connective Session: Searching for Twin flame

Your soul is consciousness or thought frequency – a light or a soul spark of light. Physical reality is made of electromagnetic energy which has poles (north/south), polarity, duality, opposites, male/female, yin/yang.

When your soul enters the physical, it divides in half – male and female – above and below – experiencing together simultaneously. Encoded in every soul’s DNA is the need to reunite with that twin aspect, or to seek that energy out through a physical soulmate. The need to reconnect keeps us linked to the other side and a knowing that Oneness awaits. Reunion comes through balance.

This session, we dedicated our time to discuss the search of our twin flame. We have completed the “candle-blue flame” ritual. In this ritual, we have got a clearer idea of twin flame energy and more learning is required for this important life lesson.

Some of the signs of a Twin Flame includes but not limited to the following:

  •  Instant Bond

If you have met your Twin Soul, the bond is immediate.This meeting is often marked by the feeling of finding the one you’ve been looking for, before a word has been exchanged. You instantly find yourself comfortable with this person, as if you already know them.

  • Unpredictable Separation

You can say or do no wrong when you are in the loving phase, but approaching the separation phase, the smallest thing can blow everything up and separate you for years. A little spat may end up causing a massive rift between you, and it maybe something you’d never fight over with anyone else. You’ll be forgiven for anything (given time) and no normal relationship rules apply.

  • All emotions are heightened and exaggerated

Both negative and positive emotions towards your Twin Soul are exaggerated compared to a normal relationship. When it stings, it stings good – and when it’s good it is amazing. Twin Soul relationships may be very turbulent, your only chance of harmony is to clear as much emotional baggage as possible.

  • Meeting young – separating – reuniting

Usually Twin Soul pairs meet quite young, in twenties or younger, and meet up again after living and learning a bit. Perhaps even happily ever after? Maybe.

  • Recurring numbers

You may be ‘haunted’ by certain numbers, they could be anything that mean something to you, but usually a repeated pair of numbers, most often 11:11 but may not be that. Usually they appear on a clock, but can appear anywhere. There may also be number triplets, in this case most often 111. Also pay attention to repeated dates.

See all of you in our next session. 

With Love & Light,

May 1st 2014 Connective Session: Looking For Space Within

Looking for space in our life, fills up the space in our life. It exhausts us and makes us feel more and more frantic, and takes us further from help. Let the spaciousness of life find us. It is always here, which is precisely where we are.  

~~~From The Shimmering World by Steven Harrison

These words give me pause for reflection each time I read them. They are an inspiring guide to living life. When we are confused or feel lost, then sit down and relax. Find your Middle Ground. Knowing that help is here in the space we are already in…..

Today session, we are working on a mental exercise – Looking For Space Within

This mental exercise is to helps train the mind to become aware of the space we are already in rather than the object that fill it or making us look outside of us.

When you look in any direction, try to make yourself aware of the spaces between the objects, rather than the objects themselves, as though what you were seeing was a picture on paper and you were able to use scissors to cut out the objects themselves, leaving only spaces between them. This exercise can expand the perceptions and help you to escape from preoccupations with the material world.

As you slowly open your eyes, imagine the sunrise coming out of your eyes and shining light on to a new day.

See all of you in our next session. 

With Love & Light,

Katherine Goh

April 18 2014 Connective Session: Values

Our Connective Question: Write down ten people you admire and why you admire them, the qualities that give them value in your eyes. Try to recognize that quality in yourself. 

Last connective session, we invest our time to connect with what are the qualities we admire. Do we have the qualities? Many of the qualities we admire are literally free. Some of the common ones by the group are …

  • Wisdom
  • Functionality
  • Strategic
  • Smartness
  • Creativity
  • Frankness
  • Decisiveness
  • Loving-Kindness
  • Strong connectivity with others…

I am fascinated by values. Values we all hold dear to us. Make a list of the twenty things you value most in life. How many of these are free? Did your list include yourself? 

I see that most people forgot to value themselves. If you do not value yourself, then how do you even value other things? Think !

If we were to prioritize our top three values what would yours be? Do you hold these values but not live them? Try to sit down with pen and paper. Write down your top three values in your life. Do your values show up in your real life? 

How long will it take you? For some of us, we can jot it down quickly, but some of us are very frustrated by this exercise. Ask yourself why it was easy or hard. That is where I want your heart right now.

Why is it important to look at our values?

Let me give an example here of values and what we think of others or how we judge.

Lets say you are in line at a up-end supermarket. You see in front of you a woman with a child, a young child. This woman is dressed in very fine clothes. The child is dressed very nice. The woman puts her food down on the grocery counter. You notice she has nice steaks, lobster, fruits, vegetables, and candy and donuts. She looks up at the cashier and pays him with aided support vouchers.

How do we judge or put value judgements on this woman at the grocery counter? Maybe you thought it was good that she had some quality food such as steak and lobster, or you felt pangs of envy that she could afford them, or you judged her for buying such food.

What did you think or value on the she and the child wore as you noticed they were on welfare? This is where I want your mind to go. What do you really think of this scenario.

I hope this post can help you look at yourself and the people who you deal with in your life and ask yourself if you are judging a book by its cover. “To err is human” But to look within is Wise”

See all of you in our next session. 

With Love & Light,

Katherine Goh

April 12 2014 Connective Session: Gratitude

Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive. It means learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you’ve been given and not take life for granted.

Gratitude shifts your focus from what your life lacks to the abundance that is already present. In addition, behavioral and psychological research has shown the surprising life improvements that can stem from the practice of gratitude. Giving thanks makes people happier and more resilient, it strengthens relationships, it improves health, and it reduces stress.

In our last connective session, we invest some time with ourselves to write our gratitude list. Some people are grateful for “bigger” things in life such as  freedom and time they have while some of us focus on the “smaller” things in life such as getting a good-paying job or travelling to another country. Whether its the “bigger” or “smaller” things in life, we practice gratitude in every breath we take.

It’s easy to feel gratitude on those good days. We are grateful because good things are happening, and we like that! If we are to be serious about our gratitude practice, however, we must also learn to be genuinely grateful on those not-so-great days. For example, the pain i am receiving that turns me to a tougher person. My husband always remind me, “What’s don’t break me makes me stronger”. 

We can start by being grateful EVEN THOUGH all that “bad” stuff is happening; we can find other, better, things to focus on and be grateful for. Eventually, though, we can learn to be grateful BECAUSE those things are happening. We can, if we so choose, learn to find the blessing in any situation. The secret is to learn to stand our ground without resisting what is.

How to Start a Gratitude Practice to Change Your Life?

  1.  Write 1 gratitude letter to a person and post it to him/her. (That’s what we did in our last session. Those people we sent our gratitude letter should have received them by now.)
  2. Practice present-moment gratitude. As you move through your day, pause now and then when you remember, and think as you do something “I am grateful.”
  3. Share the gratitude. Partner with someone like what we did last session. You will keep each other going and that sense of obligation to that person will give you the push you need to write your list on those days when it just seems too hard.
  4. Lastly, Commit.This is a spiritual practice that gains momentum over time and with practice. Gratitude doesn’t seem to come as easily as grumbling does, and you will likely resist this exercise until the cows come home, as they say in New Zealand. Waiting for the resistance to pass is futile. Just do it.

There will be times in life when everything you have seems to be swept out to the sea. When that happens, stand your ground and just let it go. Like the tide, life has it’s own rhythm of ebb and flow. Things and people come into our lives, and things and people leave our lives, often before we are ready. Be grateful for the having of them, and also for the letting go, for it is all part of this delicious cycle we call Life.

See all of you in our next session. 

With Love & Light,

Katherine Goh
