Disconnect to Connect and Reconnect

“Disconnect to rediscover the joys in connection.”

Are you spending copious amount of time on Facebook?

Can’t live without a wifi connection?

Can’t imagine days without your handphone or mobile?

It’s a common sight to see people on their handheld devices. In restaurants, family members are in their own separate mobile world even whilst they are seated together. Children are given ipads for their own separate entertainment in dinner sittings. While crossing the traffic junction, people can be texting away on their phones. On buses, I see passengers watching video clips on their mobiles or checking their FB accounts. In fact, sometimes, I find myself straining to see what they are looking at on their handheld devices.

When Mr Right Is Turning Out Wrong

“We waste time looking for the perfect love, instead of creating the perfect love.” Timothy Oliveria

In our dreams, we would like Mr Right to rescue us, read our minds and surprise us with thoughtful gifts every year that we are married.

We are prompted to look for Mr Right. Female magazines share countless advice on how to nab the perfect man. And so, we end up with some vague notion of the perfect life that we are going to lead after marriage. However, we have a rude awakening when reality does not match this ideal dream. Rita Rutner, comedian and actress, said this candidly…

“When I eventually met Mr Right, I had no idea that his first name was Always.”

Why Be the Biggest Loser

Buddha was asked, “What have you gained from meditation?” He replied, “Nothing! However,” Buddha said, “let me tell you what I lost: Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Insecurity, Fear of Old age and Death.”

We are in a habit of acquiring things be it a new car, house or a prestigious title to add to our name. The more we acquire, the stronger our ego is. We may even be after a state of bliss when we think about what we can gain out of a meditation sitting. It’s the spiritual ego that gets swollen with false pride.

Our struggles often arise when we are not successful in getting what we want. We become angry, anxious, depressed, insecure and fearful as a result. We act out of our ego selves.

By having more as compared to someone else, our egos believe that we are one up over another. It does not count if everyone has the same material item. Ours have to be bigger, better and more powerful than what our friends, relatives or colleagues have. After all, if it is the same, what is the point on posting the pictures of these things on Facebook or Instagram? The more “likes” we get on social media, the more we feel good about ourselves. Never mind if we don’t even know half the strangers who clicked “like” to our posts online.

Light A Thousand Candles and More

“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” Buddha

You can be the candle that lights up thousands of candles.

Everyone has the same gift.

No exceptions.

To be a candle of light does not mean that you have to do great feats, be a public speaker or become a leader.

In fact, it does not take much to spread some happiness.

A kind word, a warm hug or a smile.

You just don’t know who you may impact.

Unfold Your Path: Rise Up to Action

“Rise up and be the person that you are meant to be.” anonymous

When the Universe responds to your wish and dreams by sending an opportunity your way, what do you do?

Do you back down in fear because it will mean having to step up?

Or do you rise up to action and courageously take it up?

Fear in Disguise: Excuses

“Nothing diminishes anxiety than action.” Walter Anderson

An opportunity had opened up.

21 Best Albert Einstein Quotes

Albert Einstein Quotes has become a byword for sayings by a genius. We all know how brilliant a physicist he was. Sometimes, I would find my coaching clients getting this glint of awareness and appreciation when I inject one of his quotes during our conversation.

“The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.” Albert Einstein Quote #6 below

While I cannot wrap my brains around the Theory of Relativity, I enjoy Einstein’s wit and insight into life and consciousness. Even though we cannot verify whether this letter came from him or not, it is a fact that he has said many wise things in his lifetime. When we want to quote someone wise, his name will invariably come up.

I have used many Albert Einstein quotes on my site as well and I’d like to dedicate a single post to express my gratitude.

So, here is a list of 21 Best Albert Einstein Quotes…

What the Most Powerful Universal Equation Is

“Energy to Heal the World equals Love Multiplied by Speed of Light Squared.” Author unknown

A letter, which is signed off as being written by Albert Einstein and addressed to his daughter, Lieserl, has been circulating on the net. While the letter is potentially faked, its contents are very beautiful. And since I had recently written on The Theory of Nothing and everything in between, I thought it would also be nice to do a follow up by republish the inspiring contents of the letter.

Aroma Health is Wealth

Health is a Blessing. Health is Wealth!

I would like to announce the launch of my new site that espouses: Aroma Health is Wealth. My new site is created so that I can share about tips on essential oil healing. I am excited as it is my first mobile-friendly site, making it easier for all to read about essential oils on our handphones. Despite a one-month delay due to technical issues that cropped up, the site is finally up. Yayyyy!

My journey really started more than 2 years when I was first introduced to essential oils. However, when I first began, I was largely skeptical. The oils were introduced to me as part of a complementary program because indications of cancer cells had shown up in a biofeedback scan. Even though I healed in less than 6 months, I was still unsure about the part that the oils played in my recovery. Was it real or was it psychological?

Thought-Emotion-Action for Manifestation

“Everything is energy. Your thought begins it, your emotion amplifies it and your action increases the momentum.” Unknown

I came across the above quote and thought that it was wonderful that it captured the key factors involved for manifestation. Here is my elaboration:

Thought. Set clear intention. If you are sending out muddled thoughts, you get muddled results. It is also the reason why people get stuck. Your thought creates your reality.
