Before I begin sharing what I feel today, allow me to Thank the Universe for watching over those who are grieving for their loved ones who have just moved over to the spiritual realm. May they find peace and comfort knowing that their loved ones are currently in the great care of the Creator.
What is the first thing that come to you when you heard or read about the tragic news of MH17? PAUSE right there! Be very truthful to yourself. Was it a question that popped up in your mind? Or was it a feeling that swelled your heart? I don't know about you, but for me, it was an immediate tsunami that took over my entire body. My heart sank to the rock bottom before it burst out with an upheaval of deep sorrow. Feelings... oh... so much feelings... that it took me a long while before I could continue my day.
What about you? Were you knocked down by a question bolt? For example, "Why MH again?" Do not get me wrong, as there is no right or wrong here. I would like to bring you a different perception through this unfortunate event. Many of us were trained or conditioned from young to be analytical, to function from the mind. Hence, I won't be surprised if you were one of those who had a question that popped up in the mind first. With this questioning from the mind, many were unable to feel fully as they were disconnected from their heart. Though they did feel later, however, the feeling would not be as deep if there was not a question in the first place. This, I would call "The Safety Net" that one places around one's heart in order to safe guard one's vulnerability. The effect is suppressed feelings. Over time, these suppressed feelings if not fully released, blocked one's ability to fully live and appreciate life. And long term suppressed feelings could develop into all kinds of dis-eases.
Befriend your feelings! Feeling your feelings is the only way to release them. There is no right or wrong feelings. They are just e-motions (Energy in Motions) and they come and go. The faster we allow ourselves to feel our feelings, the easier it is for us to let go. The longer we hold the feelings within us, the weirder our behaviors will get. Learn to express your feelings in a safe way without invalidating yourself or others.
The more you feel, the more authentic you are! Stop hiding behind your Safety Net. Live your life fully and bravely!

Intelligence is Dangerous!
Good food for thought! There's a very fine
line between Intelligence and Knowingness. Intelligence is man made.
Knowingness is through the Divine. When Knowingness arises within us, it
is only human for us to digest it, integrate it and reflect
it in a form understandable by man, hence the birth of Intelligence.
Yet it takes a genius to ingest incoming Intelligence, be it in the form
of writing, painting or any art forms, to transcend the "formed
intelligence" into a Knowingness. This act demands our openess of our
heart and mind!
Next food for thought... You are a Genius! We are all born geniuses! Don't believe me? Take a look at babies or young children. Watch how they play and learn. How amazing it is for a young child to master a language just by watching his/her environment?
Since we are all born geniuses, if you do not feel that you are a genius now, something must have happened to "de-genius-tize" you! Could it be something that you were told when you were young? Something like you are not as smart as your siblings or cousins or friends. My favorite question for people is, "How many number 1 are there in a class of 40 students?" Ya... ONLY ONE!!! It doesn't take a genius to answer that question, does it? (Haha.. pun intended!)
Are you willing to reclaim your Genius quality? If you are, start opening up your mind. Let go of all your past understanding of how things are or should be. When you slowly open up your mind, your heart will begin to open too. And miracle happens once your heart and mind are open.
Love Always

Making Love Out Of Nothing At All
Just when I thought I have learned all that I need to know about LOVE these past 7 years, and it's time for me to move on to ABUNDANCE, the reality of Universal Truth whacks the hell out of me again! OK, You win! :-D
It sends me straight back to basic one more time... Yes, for those of you who have been traveling on the path of evolution (or spirituality if you prefer to call it), you will fully empathize with what I'm saying here. The basic fundamental truth of the Universe is LOVE! How does one make love out of nothing at all? The song by Air Supply played vigorously in my ears, seemingly attempting to jerk me out of my self-constructed fortress. The voices in my head said righteously, "You have done all that you could!", "There is nothing more you could do now!", "Go, there's on more love here!", "Love yourself first!", and they just got louder and louder.
Thanks to a dear friend who spoke with so much love and thanks to a sharing on Facebook (besides Google, Facebook is the next awesome creation!), I see light again!

The roots of the family tree go deep, and I must dig to see the light."
- by Tom Kaypacha Lescher
The roots of the family tree go deep, and I must dig to see the light."
- by Tom Kaypacha Lescher
After spending much quiet time connecting with my inner self, the balance was restored and peace returns. I choose LOVE. How does one make love out of nothing at all? Because...
I Am Love and I Love!
What is love?
Love is not a feeling
Because a feeling comes and goes
Love is not an action
Because an action can be carried out without love
Love is not a word
Because word can be manipulative
So what is love?
Love is a quality
Extends from within
From one heart to another
Expressing care, kindness and compassion
Through a word, an act or a feeling
Hence one must harness the quality of love
Within one's heart before one truly comprehend
The meaning of...
I Love You!

Flowing With Life!
Flowing With Life!
I'm so inspired by the members of our loving community that I've decided to revive my blog! What took me away for the past 2.5 years? I was very much engaged in building and nurturing my dream community, a family of lovely spiritually-inclined beings who have the courage to leap into the River of Life!
2014 has been a very happening year for me and our community! We have successfully completed a 5 days 4 nights Spiritual Rebirthing Breathwork Retreat in Felda Hot Springs Residence in Perak, Malaysia from 20th to 24th June. This is the very 1st retreat that I facilitated together with the fabulous help from an amazing friend (she is such a darling! more like a sister to me!). Everything was so divinely guided! In this short intense period, we learn and grow together and bonded like a close-knitted family!
2 of them have recently being very active in their blogs and I would like to introduce you to their wonderful sharing.
First, let's take a visit to Daughter Of Earth! Meta has lovingly shared her specially crafted Vegan-Jain recipes with us all. From the pictures that she took, you can easily guess that she is bustling with creativity! I so love her creations!
Next, the Sunny Boy never stops amusing me with his upbeat outlook towards Life! Love Freely, Live Happily, Life is meant to be awesome! I so love to get nuggets of wisdom from Derick's simple sharing!
These recent past, I have learned to fully flow with life. Allowing myself to fully immerse in the current of life and enjoying what life has to bring to me. And Life has been awesome bringing Derick and Meta into our community and into my life! Miracles happen every single day!
Love & Light

Truth #5 Only You Know The Answer
I was reminded by a client turned friend about My Truth #5. She asked gently, "When are you writing your truth #5?". I felt so touched that someone is closely following my blog. I was even more touched when she shared how some of the insights shared in my blog had transformed her life!
Thank you, my Angel, for your loving encouragement! You know who you are! :)
Yes, only you know the answer!
When I work with people or even during my social interaction with others, I love to ask questions, questions that lead them inward, within themselves. Since we all only have 24hours a day, I prefer to spend those waking hours connecting with people on the heart level. Too many of us are living our lives with our heads and it's high time now to live from our hearts!
I was brought up believing that the adults have the answers, that I have to seek the answers out there in the world, from other more successful people, from teachers, from masters, from the wise ones. I was taught to keep my opinions to myself, as they are immature, naive, may become a laughing stock if it's proved wrong or unworkable. I learned to live my life around other people's opinions.
Result - I felt so empty within as I had lost myself!
Who am I? I am who others said I am.
But, really, who am I?
This question brought me deeper and deeper within myself. I learned to observe myself, just like how I observed others. As the days went by, the concept of me became clearer and clearer. I started to realize the answer had been with me all these while. When I had doubts about myself, I covered ME with a smoke screen and I denied myself. When I gave myself space to express ME without judgment, I felt happier and lighter. I noticed that I kept oscillating between denying Me and expressing Me, between feeling dejected and feeling happy. This oscillation continued for weeks, months and years, though I noticed the frequency reduced tremendously in recent weeks and days.
I learned to love me as whom I am. Regardless of what others told me, I now know "Only I Know The Answer". I check into my feelings and I choose to trust my feelings. I honor my feelings and give myself space to express the ME. This has totally reformed the way I look at life!
Now, when people come to me looking for answers, I gently showed them back to themselves. "Only You Know The Answer!" has since become my motto in life. You are your own Master. Do not allow others to become Masters of your life. Do not give your right away to others. There is no shortcut in life! You have to live it, fully experience it and be the Master of Your Life!
What have helped me through all those times of self doubt and denial? Besides a bunch of caring and loving friends, I have My Daily Meditation and My Breathwork! Using these two simple yet powerful techniques, I learned to Create the Peace within me and trust the Abundance within me. May I invite you to step onto the path of wisdom and the ultimate mastery of a vibrant life by increasing your awareness of your BREATH!

Truth #4 No Time & Space
If there is truly no time and space, then all forms of activities and events shall collapse and happen simultaneously. The past, the present and the future are all happening now. Our conscious mind can only comprehend one thing at a time. I can either feel my hand holding a piece of cloth or feel the smoothness of the cloth, but not both at the same time. I can only live my past or my present or my future now, but not all at the same time, though they are all happening at the same moment.
This is a very difficult concept. I did not get it until I saw a movie called "Cube" that illustrated this concept clearly. Though I need to warn you that the movie is very gruesome, so if you intend to watch it, please be prepared.
When time collapses, what will happen in the future is not as important anymore. The future is happening anyway at the same moment. What left is the present moment that I am in. I am only alive in the present moment, hence, I live for now.
Life becomes so simple when we focus on living the present moment!
This brings me to the next concept of "Choice". Only in the present moment, do we have a choice. Whatever choice we make, it shall impact the future. Hence, the only way to change the future is to change NOW. Many people wish that their future will be different, however, they are not willing to change now. They say things like, "Once I am rich, I will be happy!", "Once I meet the guy I love, I will share my love.", "Once I leave this marriage, I will have lesser problems.", etc. They are dependent on a future event to feel happy. Many a times, either the future never arrives or even if it happens, they will still not be happy as nothing has changed.
This Change is a fundamental realization of life! It is more than just an action, a change of clothes, a removal of some obstacles or an acquiring of world's wealth. It is an awakening of the eternal Self in a present moment without time and space!
I live my life one moment by one moment.

Truth #3 Sustainability
Sustainability is the capacity to support, to provide for, to maintain, to keep up, to prolong; to support the life of.
For humans, sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions.
So, what does sustainability mean to me?
I was not wise enough to learn this lesson till lately. Being faced with the tight financial situation, I challenged myself to live on just basic necessities. Miraculously, the Great Divine sent me many living examples of sustainability.
Firstly, I found a salon near my place where the charges for hair cut was just $4.80. As usual, I was skeptical. How good can it be when it's only $4.80? To my pleasant surprise, the hair stylist who did my hair and my daughter's hair had so much passion in his work that he not just cut our hair, he styled them as if we were going for an outing after the haircut. If you think that this is just one small old salon in some "ulu" place, you are wrong! It's a modern chain store with more than 10 outlets island wide!
This set me off thinking, what if all businesses operate on this basis, isn't this a sustainable business model not just for the business owners but for the consumers as a whole as well? All profits at the end of the day have to come from somewhere. This somewhere ultimately is the Consumer, you and I! As a consumer, where do we get this "affordability" to pass on such profits to businesses? It comes from our pay. The higher our pay, the more profit we pass on to businesses and vice versa, the higher the prices of goods & services, the higher pay we demand. Isn't this a vicious cycle?
Please do not get me wrong. I do not advocate "cheap" businesses. All businesses must make profits to be sustainable. However, I do strongly advocate that all profits must be sustainable environmentally, economically and socially!
This brings me to my next living examples of sustainability.
"What is enough?" Is $4,000 a month pay enough? Or is $100,000 a month pay too much? I guess no human will say he has too much money. However, on a serious note, what is the impact on humanity when the pay disparity is so wide and vast?
We have all heard of many cases where a person built a legacy monetarily for the family just to be squandered away by future generations years down the road. What's in the mind of such youths when everything is provided for from the moment they are born?
I have heard this so many times, "The world is not lack of money, it is lack of love!". So, how then can we instill love if what many aspire to build is a legacy for his or her own family? What if there is a community where all come to support one and another on this life journey unreservedly and lovingly? Where the strong provide and give and the weak are being healed so that they can be strong again? Where the little ones are shown living examples of love and care for one another so that they can grow up to be loving and caring beings? Where the teachings are of abundance and not scarcity, of love and not fear?
If you feel that I'm being naive or idealistic, I would not blame you. If you feel that this is something you have been thinking of too, drop me a note at gladyslee1967@gmail.com , I would really love to have friends and together we can make this dream comes true!
Together, we can all live in a sustainable, loving and abundance community!
