As a hypnotherapist, I receive several enquiries from people from various walks of life, facing different hurdles at different junctions in their life. Even though managing emotions are within the domain of hypnotherapists, there are times where I realize that many people are actually able to help themselves - they just needed someone to point out a direction for them. In this post, I would just want to share some of my observations, and a few small little tips, for friends,

When we look into non-invasive healing methods for our physical or emotional issues, it is common for us to come across this "Energy Healing". Being a popular in both in countries in the East such as India and in the West, like America, several "Energy Healing" methods are also gaining popularity in countries like Singapore as well. Before understanding what exactly is Energy Healing, we need to understand the basic concepts of "Energy" itself. What is "Energy" and how do we

This post is regarding my experience in a Sound Healing Session, its procedures, duration and the sensations I experienced. Prior to this session, I was already excited by the fact that Sound Healing was going to be a session where I could feel and experience something physically. And just like how scientifically everything has its own frequencies, Sound Healing had an additional appeal since it was scientifically backed. I had made my appointment with the Tibetan Singing Bow

This article is regarding my experience in a Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) session, its procedures, duration and feelings that experienced. To understand JSJ a little further, I had previously met my Jin Shin Jyutsu Practitioner, Carolyn, to discuss what can I expect the session to be like (and to dispel any fears that I have). And what attracted me to give JSJ a shot is the few points below that she mentioned. - Work on Meridians: Just like how TCM uses acupuncture, JSJ uses holds o

Ever wondered why do some people always stay dissatisfied and unhappy, no matter what circumstances they are in? If you would like to experience it yourself, here are 5 ways to keep yourself chronically unhappy. 1. Be IRRESPONSIBLE It's so common that we see in our school report cards or work testimonials "...is a responsible person". But... are you really? We have come so far doing the the actions that we have been taking. Instead of blaming others for our circumstances, how

Stepping into the workforce, taking on responsibilities and becoming a full fledged adult is something that most of us will go through at certain points in our life. Many of us may feel that this is an arduous process, but there here are some reasons why adulting is actually that BEST THING that could happen to us! 1) We gain the POWER of FREEDOM Imagine yourself being 10 year old, and you go up to your parents saying, "I want to be Sailormoon!" your parents might have laughe

Ever wanted to find out how close you are to being crazy? Have a look at the 5 signs below to see if you are... close enough. 1. You spend more time everyday thinking of what to eat, wear and do, than actually eating, wearing and doing If you are exactly like the aforementioned, I would wonder.... are you TOO free!?! Most of us in Singapore don't have the luxury to spend the whole day thinking do we! Indeed in Singapore we are just so spoiled for choice. From shopping, to foo

In this final section, we explore some of the most important features of our subconscious mind (SCM) that can be reprogrammed for better emotional and mental health. We will touch on the Feelings and Emotions tagged to events as well as the Behaviors and Habits that are formed over the course of the years of our life. Feelings and Emotions When we describe feelings, they are literally the physical sensations that we feel when we experience emotions. For example, when we are s

In the previous post, we mentioned the 3 minds, the Conscious Mind (CM), Subconscious Mind (SCM) and the Unconscious Mind (UCM). We explored the functions of each mind, and here, we will delve deeper into one of the functions within our SCM: the creation and storage of long-term memory, meanings and interpretations. This may not be directly the things that we want to reprogram, but understanding these concepts sets the framework onto deeper understandings of the workings of o

The human brain is a complex organ that even modern science has yet to debunk its full capabilities of it yet. Of course physically we do know that we do not have 3 brains, but from a psychological point of view, we often split the functions of it into a 2-mind or a 3-mind model. To reprogram ourselves to have a better life ahead, we need to first understand what we are trying to reprogram within us. In this 3-mind model, we have the (1) Conscious Mind (CM) (2) Subconscious M

Ever purchased new year clothing, only to realize that the cutting looks horrendous on you? Did you still decide to wear it out during the New Year because you've already paid for it? If you did, you had just been subject to the SUNK COST FALLACY. The term SUNK COST refers to the investment that you have already put in some time ago that cannot be recovered, and THEORETICALLY, it should not affect future decision-making processes. Why? Take a look at the example below. From a

There were times when people would stare at you if you said that you have undergone some form of therapy. In some countries like America, such times are long gone, as it has become a common form of treatment. However, the mental health scene in Singapore is way behind that of America. Until today, people are still skeptical and unaware of what mental and emotional health is. This is alarming, especially in a first-world country like ours, where our schedules are packed and st

We spend more than 50% of our waking time in hypnosis, so why not use it for therapy!
