Healing Insights

Dear One,

I was listening to an audio from the Healing with the Masters series (http://www.healingwiththemasters.com/audio.htm) by this guy John Assaraf whom I have never heard of before. I was multi-tasking and didn't hear every word he said, but this question he posed to the listeners called out loudly to me.

"Are you interested or are you committed?"

Basically, he says a lot of people are interested in becoming rich, successful, happy, etc.... but not many people are committed enough to do the work necessary to achieve those goals.

That got me thinking because these few months, I have been paying the price of being complacent in my business, and that is to have my income dwindle to an uncomfortable level. I certainly have the reasons (or excuses) to justify my behaviour, but if I were to be honest with myself, I was simply not COMMITTING myself to my goal of offering my services in a way that would empower more people to achieve their maximum potential in life.

In fact, ask me the typical coaching question, "So how much do you want to make, within how long a period, through what means..." and I would respond by looking back at you with a blank face.

Oops...

It is not that I don't know what I want, but it's that I don't want it enough to overcome the fears or procrastination that is within me. Basically, I was interested in helping people and becoming wealthy through helping people. But I wasn't committed.

Perhaps it was thus a blessing in disguise that I was very much drawn to attend an expensive training course in Hong Kong. I'm already quite broke from attending this recent Psychotherapy Conference in US that I just got back from, and I had no idea how I was going to afford the Hong Kong course. But I have been eyeing this course for such a long time, I knew that I simply had to go.

So I asked my heart, "How am I going to get the money?", secretly hoping that I would be given a magical number to buy 4D with, or the name of some rich person that I could take a loan from.

Thus, it was a little anti-climatic when the soft but firm reply came: "Earn it yourself."

Whaaaattt?? And how am I supposed to earn $3K in a month's time?

Well, this was definitely an opportunity for me to put my knowledge into practice. I tapped, visualised, affirmed, and bascially did everything I knew to shift my vibrations to attract the clients and money I needed.

In this case, I was not just interested in attending the course. I was COMMITTED. 100%, with every cell in my being saying... YES!!!

Guess what? My phone has been ringing, and I have been getting enquiries over email.I have a record number of bookings for private consultations in the next few days, and I am getting closer to reaching my goal every day.

It's not so much what I did to achieve this goal, but that inner determination and dedication, which sent out a strong and clear message to the universe. "I AM going to make it happen!" And the universe always pays attention, and respond to us accordingly.

Of course, I did take necessary action as well, but frankly, it was not much. That is why I believe that while action is important, ultimately it is the power of our thoughts and the size of our intention that create our reality.

The double blessing is that now I know what I am capable of earning, so long as I am committed to my business.

So take some time to ask yourself what is it that you have always wanted. A fulfilling love relationship? A job that is spiritually satisfying and pays well at the same time? Having a lean and trim figure?

And now ask yourself...are you merely interested in getting it as in "Oh, it would be nice to have that..."

Or are you COMMITTED? As in "By hook or by crook, it's going to happen!"

As long as every single cell in your being is shouting out, "Yes Yes YESSS!", I have absolutely no doubt that that goal of yours is going to become reality. It's just a matter of when.

With that said, it is common for us to be ambivalent about the things we want. Yes we want it, but no we don't want it as well. Maybe it takes too much hard work. Maybe it means letting go of old habits. Maybe it means getting judged by others around you. Look deep within yourself and ask yourself, what fears or negative beliefs do you have that keep you from moving from being interested to being COMMITTED.

Here's the tapping exercise for today so that you can get to a 100% commitment to achieving your goals:

Even though I am not fully committed to achieving this goal because deep within, I am afraid state your fear, I am willing to release all limiting beliefs that are keeping me stuck and look at this issue from a higher perspective, so that I may move into greater transformation within and without.

With commitment, EVERYTHING is possible!

(Please feel free to forward this newsletter or recommend my services to friends if you wish to support me in my goal. Oh I'm so looking forward to that training course in Hong Kong in January!!!)

Announcements

There is a special screening of the EFT documentary Try It On Everything followed by a 1 hour sharing cum group tapping session on 19 December (Sat) 2.30 - 5 pm. The energy exchange is only $5... so if you have yet to catch the movie (highly highly recommended for its insightful gems on EFT and healing), or would like to watch it again, do come! This is a great chance to introduce family and friends to EFT as well. To register, please sms me at 96715709.

Start 2010 anew by clearing longstanding issues in your life such as relationship tensions, or self-sabotaging behaviour like procrastination. 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.

I also offer past life regression sessions which are often deeply transformational, and leave you with new insights about yourself, your relationships and life. Read more about it at the FAQ in my website: http://www.lenashealinghaven.com/faqs.htm#plrt_faq

You are welcome to schedule for 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.

Recommended Resources

I would like to recommend 2 books today.

"Zero Limits" by Joe Vitale is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read, and I seriously believe that it has the potential to not only change the reader's life, but the entire world. This book introduces the powerful Hawaiian healing method Ho'oponopono. Google it up, and you will read about this incredible article about a therapist who healed an entire hospital of mental patients...without even seeing them face-to-face!

The second book is "A Thousand Names For Joy" by Byron Katie. I have heard many good things about this lady, and more than 1 friend has mentioned her to me. I have yet to read this book (will start on it right after Zero Limits), but I have this strong sense that it is going to be an excellent read.

Both books are available in libraries... check them out!

Also, join in this free workshop, "Making Money First, Making Money Last" that is conducted by Ailee on 20 December (Sun) 7 - 9 pm at The Loft, 22 Nassim Hill, #03-01. This will be about the nature of money, how to bring it in and how to make it grow! To RSVP, please email Dipa at fireflyverdigris@yahoo.com

"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. Although my anxiety issues are not entirely resolved, I feel far more equipped with the skills to handle them when they do arise. 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. Lena is also very down-to-earth and personable, and willing to share her own vulnerabilities and experiences with healing. Although I am still relatively new to EFT, my sessions with Lena have been more transformative than any other kind of therapy I have sought out in my life. I believe the key is finding a therapist who has a deep sense of empathy and is willing to go the extra mile to develop a connection with the client; and I definitely say that Lena is one of the rare therapists who embody such qualities."

"I had been plagued for years with recurring depression which stymied progress in my academic and professional life. Short periods of elation, creativity and high motivation would be followed by long periods of inaction, dullness and despair. Someone once remarked I seemed to be able to take the ball to the goal many times but lacked the ability to kick it in. I had experienced the benefits of EFT previously in 2007/08 which lasted for a period of 3-4 months. After moving to Singapore recently I sought out Lena, after reading her article on surrogate tapping, to see if I could climb out permanently from the cycles of highs and lows. Lena surprised me with her psychological insights as she came up with affirmative statements on the fly, which were so close to my underlying issues I had felt but not shared, as we tapped vigorously. Lena's approach of separating oneself from the troubled persona and using surrogate tapping to rid the latter of their burden was very effective. By the end of our second session my head was quite literally in the clouds. As I write this six days later I am on even keel and looking forward to enrich my life with successful kicks into the net."
