I was born in
Singapore and have lived there most of my life and was exposed to
different languages, cultures, races and religions. On graduating from
the University of Singapore, I started my career in systems development
at the port. Eventually I moved into strategic planning, and other
areas of port management. I left in early 2002, after a growing
reluctance to get out of bed each morning to go the office. I kept
dreaming about going on sabbatical leave, and finally decided to take a
couple years off from working.
In the mid
1990s, I was troubled by a persistent cough. A former teacher with whom
I had reconnected through the Nature Society, asked me if I had
considered alternative means of healing, and in particular, Reiki. A
few weeks later while on the bus to work, I saw a newspaper
advertisement for a Reiki course preview, which I would have otherwise
ignored if not for the earlier mention. I went for the preview, was not
sure if I believed in it, but thought why not. I was a little skeptical
but since there was a money back guarantee that meant that if it did not
work, I would just have spent a weekend in a class; but if it did work,
it would have been a wonderful gift to be able to heal with one’s
hands. Hence began my introduction to energy healing. I also went on
to do other courses organized by Jacqueline who had organized the Reiki
course.
I first heard
about Brain Gym when I was a member of Mensa Singapore, and a few years
later, Morris Allen whom I met through Mensa, introduced me to Moira
Dempsey. It was Moira who encouraged me to become a certified Brain Gym
Instructor/Consultant, and to attend the conference in Virginia Beach.
It was also through Moira that I met Phillip Rafferty.
It was through
Mensa also that I met Ann, who played a big part in my journey. Ann
went on to introduce me to many visiting teachers, including Sandra who
was organizing a trip to Machu Picchu. Ann and I went to Machu Picchu
with Sandra. Over the years we did many courses and took several trips
together, until our paths separated. Sandra in turn introduced me to Anup who was the first teacher who taught me how to teach energy healing
(Ascension Energies).
I met Sherri
and Gloria in Florida in August 2002 at a seminar called Pathway to
Freedom, taught by Sue Myers. I had attended a weekend seminar by Sue
in Singapore in June 2002, and had such a major shift in outlook, that
I decided to attend the rest of her advanced seminars, leading to
certification. I heard about Sue from my friend Jona, whom I had met in
my NLP certification course in Singapore. It was Jona who told me
about the preview where I first met Sue, and both Jona and I attended
the weekend seminar in Singapore.
Over the next
few years I met many other people through courses or activities outside
of work. I studied many different forms of energy healing, and in 2002,
heard about The Reconnection. While attending the Brain Gym
International Gathering in Virginia Beach, my roommate mentioned it. A
month later, I was visiting a friend Gloria in Colorado and a mutual
friend Sherri took me to a metaphysical bookstore. While browsing
through the shelves, a book fell off the shelf. I picked it up…it was
“The Reconnection” by Dr Eric Pearl, and I was told the book had arrived
in the store just that morning. I bought the book, carried it with me
on my travels, and one night, finally settled down to read it, and read
it right through, finishing at 5 am next day. Eventually I checked out
his website, found he was teaching the work, and went back to Colorado
the following year to learn the work from Dr Pearl.
In the years
since I embarked on this journey, I have had the privilege of studying
with many teachers including Tom Kenyon, Brugh Joy, and Dr Paul and Gail
Dennison. |
