Shift mindset with Aroma Freedom Technique and Sound Astrometry Therapy



Happiness is living our purpose

To be happy you need to live a life of purpose. Happiness is not a goal in and of itself; it is a side-effect of doing what you are meant to do in this life. It involves giving your talents and abilities to a cause or a purpose that takes you beyond yourself. People who are living a purpose-filled life are not bothered by all the little things that can go wrong in a day – they are too focused on their mission to worry about such things.

The trouble is, most people have become disconnected from their dreams because, in the process of adjusting to life, they have lost themselves or they have lost their belief that they could reach their dreams.

Limiting beliefs, attitudes and memories in the sub-conscious

The restrictions we feel in life are a result of limiting beliefs, attitudes and memories that we have developed in the process of growing. You will see how traumatic events can cloud our ability to approach life in an open way. Even mildly upsetting events can shape our future attitudes significantly.

Unpleasant or disturbing memories may be temporarily lost to your conscious mind, but they are permanently etched into your subconscious and cellular memory. Traumatic experience recorded within our consciousness, exist as living, buried memories. When unresolved, they can create obstacles to your life’s happiness, judgement and success in many areas – domestic, personal, social and career-wise.

Our limbic and emotional brain can be re-wired

David Steward PhD (Author of Healing Oils of the Bible and 16 other books) says that it is a well-established fact that, when inhaled, essential oils directly enter our limbic system, our emotional brain, where traumatic and upsetting experiences of your life are noted and catalogued into your body’s memory.

We can use our sense of smell, your most primitive and emotionally potent sense, to re-wire your brain in the direction of alignment with your dreams.

Aroma, especially that of a pure essential oil, has the power to soften the emotionally charged memories and modify our resulting attitudes.

Testimonials
"I have been doing affirmations & spiritual work for over 25 years. I have accomplished a lot of what I wanted in life but I was feeling stuck.

I was able to acknowledge and change how I was sabotaging my journey into wellness. Afterwards I felt so much lighter & free. Now, several weeks later, I am feeling better than ever. Amazing!“  S.G., Ithaca, NY

Testimonial from multiple AFT Sessions

I can remember the first session so vividly and how much it woke me up.

It was like a slap in the face that this is what I needed personally to not only be successful in my career but to also grow as a person. I was going through a messy break-up and my mind was reeling from being so utterly lost about who I am. My intention was to be open to love wherever it comes from and I remember the rating being at about 3.

When I asked myself why, I felt like I just cannot be loved. It made me feel sad and I felt my chest tightening up.
Then a surge of images came to me from the past where I was abandoned after everything I gave to that person. I felt worthless and unloved like I was incapable of love because I wasn’t enough. At that point during our first AFT session i wanted to cry but I smelled the Essential Oil Blend and just like that all my doubts about myself felt lighter and calmer. The new belief started coming in straight away and from there my affirmation was created which I’ve been doing religiously for almost a month and just like that I didn’t feel the need to do it daily anymore. On top of that, whenever the need for new AFT sessions on myself come up, the new belief came in right after I inhaled the Essential Oil Blend. Even when I was having a hard time pin-pointing to a specific memory.

For instance, once I had a hard time selecting a memory because there was a fleeting of images that came to me but I decided to move on and inhale the Essential Oil Blend anyways, and all of a sudden everything made sense. I did another round of it after and it all clicked.

I’m already feeling like I’ve progressed personally from that first session and now I’m currently working on my progression. So much to look forward to!

Activate Your Intuition To Discover Your Potential


Activate Your Intuitive Abilities. Discover Your Potential

Intuition is challenging to define, despite the huge role it plays in our everyday lives. Steve Job says that “intuition is more powerful than intellect.” 

It is that gut feeling or an inner voice. - that unconscious reasoning that propels one to do something without saying why or how. It is a "knowing without knowing".  It is "knowing without thinking". The nature of intuition has led to much scientific research, including philosophy and psychology fields to understand what it is. 


Often dismissed as paranormal or the "woo-woo" stuff that women do, cognitive science is beginning to demystify the strong but sometimes inexplicable presence of unconscious reasoning in our lives and thoughts.  “There is a growing body of anecdotal evidence, combined with solid research efforts, that suggests intuition is a critical aspect of how we humans interact with our environment and how, ultimately, we make many of our decisions,” Ivy Estabrooke, a program manager at the Office of Naval Research in an interview with the New York Times in 2012.


Our intuition is always there, from reading a situation, knowing what to say, making a decision and even knowing where to drive to.  However, we may not always be paying attention to it.  Our lives may be so dominated by our logical brain that we dismiss any signs of it.

If we can tap into this resource of wisdom, we can greatly improve our lives.

Henry Poincare said "It is through science that we prove. But through intuition that we discover". An ancient Native American proverb goes like this "We can only give ourselves the power to be".

World's Smallest Bento Box: Lessons in Content Marketing & Mindfulness

Four artists (a watch maker, a chef, a surgeon and a diorama artist) collaborated to create the world's smallest bento that fits inside a wrist watch.

I watched in awe the video on how an entire bento was made to fit inside a watch so that a man can eat his lunch on the go.

This is actually an advertising campaign by Takii, a Japanese agriculture company focused on making high-quality seeds for nutritious fruits and vegetables.

The message is simple. The Takii Phyto Rich vegetables are so packed with nutrients that all you need is can be packed into a wrist watch!

Not only is it innovative, it communicates the message clearly.  It is so interesting that everyone wants to share it and talk about it!  That's how great content is!



Watch the "making of" and the video on the world's smallest bento in a wrist watch:

World's Smallest Bento Watch (Ad & Making of the Ad)

As I look at the Bento Watch, I am reminded of how many amazing elements can fit into a watch and how cleverly each element was selected to fit in.  That is how much we too can cram into our infinite brain.

Take only those elements that give you the nutrients and that's all you need - love, compassion, creativity, courage, etc. Let go of anything else that does not give you nutrition - stress, ego, fear, excessive logic, etc.
If we all had a beautiful mind in a watch, what would we want to put in there?

For your reading pleasure, here's the story as narrated by Johnny Strategy, a blogger on Japanese graphic design and art.
"A watchmaker, a surgeon, a chef and a diorama artist are sitting around together. Each is a master of their trade and together, they’re attempting to create the world’s smallest bento. One that fits inside a wristwatch yet is packed with all the vitamins and nutrients that a busy worker needs to get through the day.

The watchmaker designs the box and chopsticks for the bento. The surgeon slices the meats and vegetables. The chef prepares the food (note the adorable miniature wok at the 47 second mark). Finally, the diorama artist pulls it all together to create the bento watch: the world’s smallest bento.

Time to clean out & let go

Take heart that you are not alone.  2016 February is a clean out month.  Everyone's true nature will be out and it's time to clean out and let go for the new to come.


In astrology, although mercury retrograde ends 25th January 1:50pm.  Its shadow period will last until 14th February.  We will continue to revisit our work, be clear of what we want to be, get organized and connect with key collaborators that support our goals. Jupiter is in retrograde from January until 9th May and its shadow will linger until 8th August. Jupiter signifies a time to hone our skills and connect with ourselves.

In Bazi, we enter the year of the Fire Monkey on 4th February at 17:48.  This is a fire sitting on a metal monkey year where fire will burn and melt the metal.  This creates conflicts so issues will surface but will melt away what does not serve us.  If we have the strength and courage to go through this fire, we will have our break throughs.  This is a time where we have to be like water, to go with the flow, to be gentle, flexible and creative to make a path for ourselves.

This Febuary, the theme is "Letting go".  We are asked to:
  • spring clean our lives,
  • assess what matters to us (to decide whether to live 3-D three dimensional lives or multi-dimentional beings that we are blessed to be)
  • let go of things that do not add to our growth or resonate with our new vibration
  • renew trust in ourselves (to connect with ourselves, especially our higher self, connect with our divine lineage, believe in our calling) to exciting new possibilities and opportunities
  • hone our skills (learn, equip, focus on developing our gifts and talents)
  • renew our attitudes (reflect on ourselves, the good bad and ugly, give vs take, be humble, appreciate, render servce)
  • re-define ourselves (our vision, purpose, what we stand for, a new us)

Here are some examples of how people start to show their true nature and we realize we have not seen that side of themselves.
  • Someone who felt insecure tried poison the minds of others against you
  • Someone bit your hand that fed him
  • Friends who showed their true nature in social bantering and self-serving cliques
  • Someone whom you looked up to failed
  • Someone you teamed up with forgot his commitment to you

This is also a time when we see a mirror reflection or how we react that show up our own ugly sides which we need to clean up. I learn these precious lessons.
  • External opinions are just opinions, they should not affect me
  • I do not need encouragement, praise and attention to feel good about what I do
  • Trust in the divine to guide me to success despite the obstacles and ill-intentions by others

It would be nice to pause and count our blessings. I am grateful to be blessed in many ways:
  • A family that is re-united
  • Three lovely fur kids that remind me of a lion, bison and goat from my past lives
  • Friends who understand and encourage me
  • A new spiritual family that is on a similar journey
  • Revealing of my divinity, royalty and lineage that is most powerful and sacred
  • My continued growth to be my higher divine self
  • Opportunity to share and render service to others, that they may be relieved of worldly issues and grow in their journey of self realization

So this is the time of testing, and we must continue our journeys. I resolve to...
  • Continue my daily intention and affirmation and mediation
  • Persevere to keep doing what I have been asked to do with unconditional love
  • Know that everything will be accomplished in time
  • Have patience, trust and belief in myself
Here is a good advice from Michelle K, "Financial wealth is created when we know in our hearts and our minds that our in present circumstances our needs and dreams are already fulfilled. When we are able to tap into our deepest resources and become aware of our true power and limitlessness, all that is ours by divine birthright can flow effortlessly to us."

Five planets in alignment

Five planets in Alignment: Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus & Mercury

For the first time in a decade, Singaporeans will be able to view a rare astronomical sighting.  Five planets — Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus and Mercury — will align in a straight line and will be seen together in the skies.

Astrological Phenomena

The Science Centre Singapore said the celestial conjunction will last from Wednesday 20th January until the end of February. 27th January will offer an extra special view as the Moon will also come into alignment with the five planets.

Usually, we see the five planets in the night sky at different times of the night. It is thus a special event to observe all five planets in the night sky at one time.

Mercury is also hard to view as the planet is close to the Sun and is faint due to Singapore's sky not being very dark. 

Best Times To View The Alignment

The best timing to see all five planets will be around 6am, especially when there is a high and unobstructed view to the eastern horizon.

Each night at around midnight, Jupiter will be the first planet that will come into view. Jupiter’s sighting will then be followed by Mars, Saturn, Venus and Mercury.

On 27th January, when the Moon comes into alignment with the five planets, Jupiter and Venus will be the brightest of the planets. Jupiter will be more or less directly overhead at 6.30am, and Venus on the eastern horizon. Jupiter and Venus can be used to locate the other planets. Mars will be halfway between Jupiter and Venus, and Saturn will be approximately halfway between Venus and Mars.

Another good opportunity to get the best view of the planets will be on the weekend just before Chinese New Year. This will be when Mercury, located near both the Moon and Venus, will be the easiest to spot.  These are on  6th February 6:30am and 7th February 6:30am

How to distinguish planets from stars

One easy tip to distinguish the planets from regular stars is to close one eye, stretch out your arm and slowly pass your thumb over a bright dot in the sky.  Jason Kendall, a member of the Amateur Astronomers Association of New York, told the New York Times. If the dot slowly dims out when your thumb passes over it, it’s a planet. If it quickly blinks out, it’s a distant star.

Saturn can be found above Venus. You can use your hand as a rough guide - hold your hand at arms' length, and spread your fingers apart as far as possible. You should see two points of light above your thumb. The right most one will appear reddish - this is the star Antares, in the constellation of Scorpius. Saturn is the brighter point on its left, and will appear cream-white.

Mars will appear overhead. The Moon will also be a good guide to finding this planet. You will also likely see the star Spica, in the constellation of Virgo. To tell the two apart, look at their colours - Mars is reddish and Spica is white. Both will appear equally bright.
 
Next Sighting

The Science Centre Singapore said the astronomical alignment is likely to happen again in August this year. According to the UK’s Royal Astrological Society, the five planets will then not be seen together again until October 2018.

Marketing Creates And Captures Markets


We recently won a Global Innovation Award for our Asia Pacific efforts to grow and capture the market.  It was a recognition of marketing in our true profession of strategy, management, multi-channel and integrated marketing across content, social, digital.

Code named CAMP (Create A Market For Power), marketing lead the initiative with understanding the market dynamics, being creative to develop a programmatic approach, daring to do things differently and making an impact to the business.

It helped us achieve several consecutive quarters of year on year growth. Here is the story of how marketing led the way to this transformation.

IBM Power Systems in Asia Pacific is the market leader in the Systems of Records for IT infrastructure requirements.  With the shift in infrastructure consumption to solutions for big data, , we needed to take a hard look at our business to assess what we needed to do differently to win. We started by understanding more about the market place.

Understand The Market. Use Analytics.
The market had developed besides Systems of Records to Systems of Engagement, Insights, etc.  This new area was a fair fight with many market players who were trying to make the shift.  We assessed our position of power, who we needed to work with to extend into the new solution areas and what was needed for the shift.  This was done by using analytics, social and other listening.

Appoint Champions. Lead The Business Plan
Within the business, we needed champions who could prioritize and focus on the growth areas. The champions were needed to pitch the propositions, drive capabilities and align resources. We then mapped out the business and marketing priorities and what the game plan was. Resources included budgets, facilities and people across sales, technical, marketing from both internal and external. 

Develop The New Approach. Make It Simple.
We clearly defined the business problem as “How do we generate revenue for Brand with Who for What Solutions in Where".  The plan included considerations for conditioning the market, recruiting key players, training to develop skills, developing joint go to market, creating the market demand and generated business opportunities.  The approach had to be systematic and scalable, easy to understand and execute, convincing for investors and worthwhile for the time and effort spent.

Choose The Battle Field. Define Success
We chose to test the approach in a region where the opportunity was the largest but adoption was the lowest and in another region where adoption could match up to the pace of the opportunity growth. The approach yielded great results against the targets. In the first market, we grew our revenue by over 400% year on year.  In the second market, we achieved grew almost 200% of our target.

Determine Success Factors. Learn As You Go.
Through this initiative, we learnt that there are critical success factors that made a significant difference.
  1. Quality over quantity: creating an impact helps to then ramp up the volume
  2. Standardize and simplify: making things easy to speed up go to market.
  3. Leveraging others' ability: Each party is better positioned as advocates and have greater influence to their segments, and it would greatly accelerate the results where we can overcome resource or capability limitations and creates self-sufficiency
  4. Ownership & team work: Strong collaboration across each activity phase across the various stakeholders is crucial.  Often, one of the team members will just step up to lead beyond their role to ensure success.
  5. Integrated marketing: A 360-degree engagement is required - internal and external communications, digital and off-line, business and technical, social and content, etc.

Marketing truly creates and captures the market.  While this winning initiative is being replicated across the business. The principles of how marketing can lead in business transformation can be applied to what we can create to make a difference.

This is the awesomeness of marketing!

Time to Amplify The Power of Marketing


As some of you may know, I was awarded #2 Social Seller by LinkedIn in November 2014.  It is now November 2015 and I wonder about how well I now stand with my social media ranking.

The good news is that in 2015, our IBM Power blogs are being pumped out almost on a weekly basis with "We Believe - Power Wins" and "We Amplify - Power Marketing" blogs, and responses to the many global and regional Systems and Marketing blogs that we actively contribute and respond to.  I have lots of re-tweets, re-posts, shares and comments on IBM on all my social media platforms - Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Linked In.  I would like to think that besides the great work from our brand, technical and sales team, marketing and our social efforts has helped us turn around our business to several consecutive quarters of year to year growth since I have joined the Asia Pacific team.

Looking across 2014 and 2015, there was a significant change in my personal social engagement. In 2014, I was in ASEAN Systems Marketing and had to manage the System x team which had the challenge of enduring a year of uncertainty before they eventually transitioned to Lenovo.  Blogging had become a way for me to share my thoughts about the industry both tech and marketing.  I had hoped that my raw and honest view helped to provide an objective perspective amidst rumours and nay sayings.  It was my way to inspire my team, encourage my fellow colleagues, business partners, customers and the industry.

Many who were inspired or touched by my blogs reached out to me to share with them and their teams.  So in 2015,  I began sharing, training and mentoring many who were willing to learn about digital and social.  I was invited to share my expertise on how to build social eminence with general managers, directors, managers, staff and students.  These included universities, trade associations, government boards, human resource organizations, manufacturers, marketing forums and public events.

As I spend time mentoring and coaching, coupled with ramping up our IBM capabilities, I had somehow neglected myself and when I forget to share "me" to the world, those who followed me have lost the opportunity for inspiration.  Several followers recently commented that they have been following me and been missing my blogs.  So, it is time to really amplify the power of marketing by re-awaken my social identity and re-vitalize my blog. 

I will share as I learn.  As Tim Cahill says, "A journey is best measured by friends than miles."  Come and follow me on this journey.
