DESPAIR, pain, fear. If only all of life’s sorrows could be bundled into a rubbish bag and discarded like the morning trash. But life’s problems and the stress they cause, tend to stick around and fester like pus-filled wounds until they become the stuff of nightmares.
Manjeet Kaur knows this all too well.
The 48-year-old mother of one has descended the spiral of desolation before. About 10 years ago, not only was she faced with the worries of her child’s health, her closest family members did not support her when she opted for alternative methods of healing for him.
At the same time, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. In the midst of this turbulent period, the former marketing director of a cosmetics company was on a posting to India and had to deal with a work culture that didn’t place importance on timeliness.
So to beat stress, Manjeet enrolled in a meditation class, recommended by a fragrance promoter who was helping her with a perfume launch.
“My colleagues could tell the difference the very next day. I was calmer, was explaining things better and smiling a lot more,” she recalled.
In the end, all turned out well for her mother and her son.
This, Manjeet revealed, was when she started to look inwards.
What was the true meaning of success or happiness, for that matter? Was the yardstick measured by the possessions one owned or the balance of the mind and spirit?
“It was at an Asian regional meeting with nine other marketing representatives that I realised that this (being a marketing director) was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life,” revealed Manjeet.
“I was happiest when I was helping people. When I decided to pay heed to that, things began to happen,” said Manjeet who finally left the corporate field in 2003 after 23 years as an employee.
Having experienced the benefits of meditation, it made sense that she would look into the field of alternative healing arts and that was when she discovered hypnotherapy, emotional freedom techniques (EFT), neuro linguistic programming (NLT) and reconnection.
Touching on each of these techniques, Manjeet explained that NLT, EFT and hypnotherapy could be likened as tools to reach the subconscious mind, which influences 90% of one’s beliefs, habits, emotions and moral values.
These will then act to strengthen one’s willpower when dealing with personal issues like weight loss or career goals.
She also added that emotional issues such as depression, phobias and addictions can be addressed via such techniques.
As for reconnection, which teaches one to align the bodily energy gird system with that of the universe, she would recall an electrifying sensation when another practitioner “transferred the frequencies” to her.
“In quantum physics, every object has energy as the cells are constantly vibrating at different speeds and every cell will respond and produce a certain frequency in accordance to the amount and type of energy that it is exposed to.
“Our very own bodies, right down to our DNA, are made up of such cells and as such our behaviour is the result of external stimuli and vibrations,” explained Manjeet.
These vibrations, said Manjeet, can act like magnets and she cautioned that individuals who are predisposed to entertaining fears and other undesirable thoughts may well attract the actual outcomes.
“For example, if you have been exposed to violence, you would have these frequencies in your bodies. As such there is a good chance that you will have a brush with violence at some point in your life.
She advised that it is best to let go, to “purge such grudges from the mind and look at things with a positive freshness”.
Healing with reconnection methods, implied Manjeet, can influence the way our cells vibrate by introducing information and light from the universe to enable us to discover our highest good.
This coupled with EFT will help the individual to let go of past hurts as well.
So what happened to good old fashioned heart to heart talks with friends and family?
“Sometimes, these people will offer you advice but not the solution. It is also human nature to fear that we would disappoint or not look perfect or to expose our weaknesses,” opined Manjeet who also added that if not for anything else, love will still conquer all at the end of the day.
And just to bust the myth that hypnotherapists are capable of hoodwinking unsuspecting patients into becoming bank robbers, she would point out that this is just the stuff of movies. “In order to be hypnotised, you must want it. Even when you do fall into a hypnotised state, your beliefs, which have been rooted in your subconscious, will protect you.
“So, there is no danger of being made to jump off a building or anything like that,” she asserted.
