MT Community Event: Scents & Sensibility Evening on 15th Sep 2010

2010-09-12T04:45:00.000+08:00


The Mind and Body are One \| Everything is Connected The sense of Smell is the only sense we have that is directly connected to our limbic brain – the seat of emotions. Scents therefore have amazing effects on our emotional well being and the molecules of therapeutic grade essential oils travel quickly through our bodies to bring about physical healing as well. What are Essential Oils? Essential oils, known as nature’s living energy, are the natural, aromatic volatile liquids found in shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. The distinctive components in essential oils defend plants against insects, environmental conditions, and disease. They are also vital for a plant to grow, live, evolve, and adapt to its surroundings. Essential oils are extracted from aromatic plant sources via steam distillation, and are highly concentrated and far more potent than dry herbs. Come spend an evening with us to experientially understand and receive the powerful healing effects of therapeutic grade essential oils. Learn what oils work with cancer, what oils heal physical burns; or what oils to use to still the mind.

Are You Waiting For One Of Life's Lethal Snowballs?

2010-06-12T02:39:00.002+08:00

Accountability = Power To Change

A Guru lectured the same sermon for 6 weeks consecutively. By the fifth week a special group gathered to challenge the Guru about his irritating repetitions. He replied "I'm glad you finally noticed it! I'm going to keep on preaching the same sermon every week until you get it!" Sometimes we simply choose to ignore life's important messages, yet we wonder why the same events "keep happening to us" - "why me?"

"That which you resist, persists." The harder we fight or avoid it, the stronger it comes back to us. Problems are presented to us as a gift, and rather than attacking the "lessons" or avoiding the "relentless reminders", we should pause. Embrace the "knocking" and be willing to explore the learning. By cutting through our barricade of resistance and denial, we dig into what is on the other side - the awaiting gift to our greatest growth.

Escaping Accountability is probably one of the greatest causes of our problems. Being at cause (accountable) means claiming our birthright to using the inherent inner resources to improve our lives. Accountability empowers you with the choice to take charge of your feelings, thoughts and actions, regardless of what other people's actions are.

Avoiding accountability happens consciously or unconsciously. By not making a decision about something is a choice in itself. Listed below are some of our convenient 'defences', which I call the '10 Lethal Snowballs'. If we fight or avoid it long enough, it will give us a rude awakening in life.

The 'Feldenkraise Method'

2010-05-26T10:09:00.004+08:00

Dear NLP Practitioners

This is a workshop that one of our Master Practitioners, Jack Wei, is now promoting in Singapore. He has set up a company to support this: www.mbsapac.com.sg.

I often thought of the 'Feldenkraise Method' as the much needed component in NLP. Mentioned quite often by the early pioneers of NLP (Robert Dilts, John Grinder etc), this method taps into the somatic knowledge of our consciousness. The beauty of this approach of 'knowing' is that - it bypasses the Auditory Digital and Visual neuro-pathways, therefore, offers us new discoveries as well as new ways to connect to our kinesthetic resources. That being said, I encourage NLPers to broaden and deepen the mind that is in the body.

gratefully
Barney

Successful Entrepreneur 2010 Recepient

2010-05-26T09:32:00.008+08:00

Mr Barney Wee was your typical conscientious sales professional. Never did he imagine that his perspective of life would change exceptionally after he completed a course in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). The results manifested were so successful that those around him soon inquired his secret to success.

He decided that in order to stay true to his new awareness, i.e. helping others empower themselves, he needed to develop a sustainable methodology which would allow people to gain control of their reality and in turn, allow them to create their own destiny.

After deepening his NLP and other brain-mind studies abroad, he established Mind Transformations in 1997. It has since enhanced the lives of thousands, both individuals and organisations. Ms Agnes Lau, a graduate of Mind Transformations, joined Barney in 1998 to co-develop this organisation with their joint passion and commitment. Mind Transformations’ vision was and still is: “Building a world where people live to contribute their best.” Barney explains: “NLP is more than an enhancement tool. It is a life-style in which you choose to redefine with life-supportive values and resolve to give richer meaning to life.”

Today, both partners continue to work tirelessly to facilitate change for a better society. They anticipate major global shifts in a world that is converging and evolving with greater acceleration than ever before. Hence, they are in the process of streamlining and morphing their business and methodologies to align and support the rapidly emerging global consciousness. Always the humanitarian, both Barney and Agnes intend to encourage and inspire others to make a difference as well.

Thus, in collaboration with the Asian Life Coaching Association of which they are founding members, they have a system to support qualified candidates, who have the passion and desire for enriching the lives of others, to become life coaches themselves.

With much life experiences, the wise pair's advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, “Listen to their heart's calling by making their life simple, organic and sacred - to a collective consciousness. Have the courage to build your business on life-supportive values that truly enriches the lives of people you serve and the planet.

"In the power to change oneself, is the same power to change the world."
