Forgiveness sets you free

Be free using the forgiveness

With January coming to an end, most of us are still clinging into our New Year’s resolutions, trying to use forgiveness. If we find we’re struggling with personal promises to be fit and healthy, why not adapt our focus to our state of mind and how this can affect our wellbeing. How can we be more positive and improve our flow of human energy also feeds into being fit and healthy.

A recent study shows that happy people are more forgiving than unhappy people. Research has shown that forgiveness is linked to mental health outcomes such as reduced anxiety and depression, fewer physical health symptoms and lower mortality rates.

But how easy is it to forgive and how can Master Oh help us in this process?

What is Forgiveness and why is it so hard?

Forgiveness is a process that includes letting go of negative emotions, thoughts, and behaviours, and replacing those with positive thoughts and emotions.

We tend to feel hurt when someone has done something to undermine, disrespect or disregard us. When we feel we haven’t been treated in a loving, kind and considerate way, it can make us feel angry and upset.

The problem with holding on to the negative feelings caused by the other person is that it connects us to our ego which is always busy thinking about ourselves. Even though holding on to negative feelings can make us feel down and depressed, the ego still gets something out of it, because we are thinking about ourselves.

Can Forgiveness Set Us Free?

Forgiving others and ourselves is essential for happiness and health, which is why practicing forgiveness on a regular basis can pay off.

Research has shown that people who had greater levels of accumulated lifetime stresses exhibited worse mental health outcomes.

Stress relief is probably the chief factor connecting forgiveness and wellbeing. While this is important, it is also believed that there are other important mechanisms by which forgiveness works its magic. One of those is “toxic” anger. There’s nothing wrong with healthy anger, but when anger is very deep and long lasting, it can deeply affect us. When you get rid of anger, your muscles relax, you’re less anxious, you have more energy and your immune system can strengthen.

Master Oh on how to forgive:

“We are not individual beings. All human beings are connected, we are one. When we feel hurt or upset by someone else’s actions we lose our inner peace and happiness and that disconnects us from ourselves and others.

Therefore it is important to forgive every day. We can do this by taking time to meditate on the incident or person that made us upset. Try to imagine how they lived the situation, how they felt and why they reacted the way they did.

By making the effort to put our personal feelings aside and putting ourselves in somebody else’s shoes we can begin to understand their motives allowing us to forgive. If we truly understand someone else, we can see why they reacted a certain way, even if it was wrong. Perhaps, in their eyes it was the right thing to do, or it may have been the only thing they could do at the time. Although our view of the situation might not change, the way we see the other person does. When we understand the other person that opens our heart and we can feel compassion for them, rather than anger.

For example if a father tells his son off for breaking a precious artefact. The son can feel attacked and upset and can hold on to these emotions which can eat away at him for the rest of his life, affecting his health and even his relationships. However if the son decides to heal, the first step is to try and understand his father. With time, by putting himself in his father’s shoes he can see that the vase was very precious to him and that his breaking it made him so angry he wasn’t able to take his son’s feeling into account. It didn’t mean that he didn’t love his son.

The exercise of putting our personal emotions aside in order to understand others is a very powerful exercise as it takes us out of the ego and connects us to our original or universal mind, which is full of love, consideration, justice, kindness and generosity. Practicing this mind is what makes us and others happy.”

If you have tried to forgive but still feel stuck in negative emotions, Master Oh’s energy treatments can help. With one energy treatment Master Oh can open up deep energy blockages and release negative emotions and stagnant energy. Allowing our ‘human energy’ to flow correctly can make us feel light and help us to move on and open our heart to new and positive experiences and people.

“Now is the time to put all our past pain, sadness, anger and fear aside. Let’s open our mind and heart widely and remember who we are, so that we can be truly happy and truly one” Master Oh.

Opening your mind leads to many benefits

Opening your mind like this window

Even though we live comfortably with many ‘things’ that are invisible and beyond scientific proof, it is still difficult to accept fully the reality of the invisible world; a world on which all life depends. Opening your mind is the way to see it.

Harmonious interaction with the invisible world is essential to our health and happiness, which does not depend entirely on our intellect and grandiose technological advances. It depends too on the wisdom of the heart and our ability to respect and nurture life.

Seeing beyond the material world

Life, as we see it is, has very much become physical material world and nothing else. We find it difficult to see (and do) with the heart, which means seeing what we truly are: body, mind and spirit.

For all matter in our physical world, we understand that there are three states: solid, liquid and gas. Water, for example, can be ice (solid), liquid (at room temperature) and vapour (gas). These three states can be used as an analogy to describe the human being: the body being solid, the mind liquid and the spirit gas.

In this blog, I’m going to look at the mind only.

A harmonious mind

A mind in harmony with nature is like water – it flows around things. This is a mind in harmony: it is adaptable, flexible and fluid and unaffected by stress. An interesting thought is that stress only exists in the mind.

This is the original mind before it’s been influenced by a world full of gadgets that create desires and needs. The more things we desire, the more things we need and the less flexibility the mind has.

Once the mind loses this liquid state it starts to become solid and rigid. Consequently, energy won’t flow very well through the body. Hard blockages appear in the body and the body itself becomes inflexible, rigid and solid. A solid mind creates a solid body. If energy doesn’t flow well through the channels and organs their function becomes compromised.

There are many benefits from achieving a harmonious mind:

  • It boosts immunity
  • It assists fertility
  • It lowers blood pressure and helps a healthy heart
  • It reduces psychological distress, depression, and anxiety
  • It can help relieve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) such as bloating, belching, diarrhoea and constipation.

If you would like to explore ways of achieving a more harmonious mind, please get in touch.

4 Ways to Avoid Stress

Stress free sunflowers

There is the popular belief that stress is due to external influences, such as an overload of work, family circumstances or financial worries, however what if this isn’t the case? 

What if stress is really coming from within us and it is our ability or inability to manage our thoughts and emotions that really affect our stress levels?

You will find that some days you are more able to deal with life’s challenges than others. If you are wondering why this is, the clue is in your energy levels. The days when everything feels overwhelming might coincide with a prolonged busy time at work, with tending to the children’s needs or a busy social calendar with a series of late nights. These types of events require us to use up more energy than usual, leaving us depleted and unable to cope with events, work, people and decisions that might have otherwise felt manageable.

We need Qi energy to digest not only the food that we eat but also to process information and to stay positive. A shortage of Qi means we literally don’t have the energy required to carry out the brain functions in charge of managing the emotions caused by life events and relationships. 

Our emotional and mental state, our immunity and ultimately our health, are all dependant on the natural and free-flow of Qi energy through the energy channels as well as the level of Qi in our energy system.

A harmonious mind flows like water

If we have enough Qi energy and it is circulating freely around our body, we feel happy, energised and our mind is clear. If we hit an obstacle, we can find a way around it. 

When we are short of Qi energy or when our Qi is blocked or depleted, the obstacle becomes an issue. We can’t find a natural way around it and stress is then created.

4 ways to avoid stress

1. Accept and let go

Acceptance allows us to be at peace with things the way they are. When you let go of trying to change or control a situation and instead see it for what it is you can see it from all sides and achieve a better understand of the situation. Everything in life comes and goes; happiness, pain, people, work, money, everything in the physical world is transient. Accepting this puts us back into the natural flow of life. We can appreciate things without needing to hold on to them and avoid feeling loss when they go.Most of us tend to hold on to painful memories, keeping us from healing and moving on from the past.  These emotions are stored in our energy system and create energy blockages. Blockages affect the free flowing energy in the body and result in stress. Making a conscious decision to accept and let go of emotions is a great way to support your mind and body.

2. Positive thoughts

Every thought is transmitted to the body through the energy system and every thought carries energy. A positive thought allows the energy to flow freely through the body, and a negative thought blocks the flow of energy. This will eventually affect the functioning of the main organs in the body.

3. Open energy blockages in the body to free the mind

We can only access the mind through the body.  By opening energy blockages in the body, it allows you to clear out deep-seated blockages in the mind. In order to open the physical energy blockages in our body we need Qi. Receiving Qi through an energy treatment is a very powerful way to recover the free flow of energy in the body and renew your energy levels, allowing you to be free from mental, emotional and physical stress.

4. Accept things with an open heart

Once we accept what life throws at us with an open heart we can move with life’s movement, which is both up and down. This also mirrors how Qi energy flows in the body. 

The first step to avoiding blockages in the mind and dealing with stress is to address is your Qi, or energy levels.

Spiritual causes of blocked energy

I have blocked energy looking at my ancestors

We’ve spent the last few blogs exploring the causes of blocked energy and today we present the final blog in this mini energy series which explains more about the spiritual causes that may be blocking your energy flow.

It’s a familiar scenario that we strive for a happier and healthier life and set out to work through any emotional and physical energy blockages. However, rather disparagingly, we may still find ailments and patterns that we just cannot shift.

This is likely to be due to spiritual causes.

What are spiritual causes?

Spiritual causes are often referred to as inherited or ancestral blockages. This is because they are caused by physical and emotional energy patterns passed down through the generations of the family. Essentially, we believe that people’s energy can be affected by the history and energy of their family.

How and where do spiritual blockages manifest in your life?

We see that every human being is given the opportunity to live a physical life to grow in wisdom, love and compassion for all living beings. The love and wisdom we grow during our lives are passed on to the next generations, which may in turn grow greater respect and gratitude for life. In this way we can ensure that life evolves both materially and spiritually.

Just like the roots of a tree which provide the nutrients for it to grow, we too are connected to our roots, which are our parents and ancestors. Their physical and emotional character is written in our bodies and minds.

In the same way their energy is with us too and may, over time, manifest physically and emotionally. Energy, unlike material things, never dies, and the information encoded in our energy system is transmitted from generation to generation.

We are not surprised to see that people are increasingly interested in researching their family history to see how their lives have been shaped by previous generations. We inherit our physical features through our genetic make-up, but in the energy system emotional patterns, ancestor’s life experiences, memories, pain, health issues and even addictions can be imprinted and carried forward to future generations. We may be born with weaknesses in our energy system inherited from our ancestors that can have a significant impact on our physical and mental wellbeing.

Resolving spiritual energy blockages

The Ancestor Healing Programme run at our Centres, addresses this crucial but not well-understood aspect of human life by healing these inherited patterns, and freeing us from their influence. The programme is a profound and spiritual experience to clear inherited energy patterns that can affect our life, wellbeing and relationships.

The physical causes of blocked energy

Treatment to overcome blocked energy

We spent some time in our last blog introducing the three main causes of blocked energy and promised that we would explore the causes of these in more detail.

Today we are going to investigate energy blockages which have physical causes. For example, how our bodies react to certain situations such as stress, relationships, loss and bereavement, but also how we react to external blockages caused by toxins in food, environmental pollution and other chemicals.

Our human energy is affected by the exposure to an excess accumulation of toxins absorbed into the body from the air we breathe, the water we drink and the unhealthy food we eat. We then use our energy to trying to rid these toxins rather than focusing on the healthy functioning of our body. Over time, this leads to feelings of depleted energy and low mood.

How to overcome physical causes of blocked energy

1. Diet

When we are overworked or overtired, when we eat at irregular times or a diet of sugary or processed food, we can deplete our energy levels and build up toxins, tension and blocked energy in the body. Blocked energy can affect our digestion, absorption of nutrients and elimination, affecting our health.

I suggest that you eat as healthily as possible at regular meal times. Try eating a varied diet in order to get enough of every important nutrient. Avoiding fried or processed food and sugar and trying not to drink too much alcohol is also important.

This way we provide our body with the nutrients it needs to function correctly. Without nutritional food, metabolic processes slow down and your physical health declines. Eating nutritious meals regularly gives you the energy you need to live and complete the daily tasks necessary for a happy, balanced life.

You should also have some awareness of the toxins that are contained in food – even the healthy foods – along with the toxins that can be released depending on how food is prepared and stored. Toxins in your food come from a variety of sources, including but not limited to:

  • The pesticides used to grow your food
  • Food packaging and storage containers
  • The type of pots and pans you use
  • The non-stick and plastic components in small appliances
  • Toxins stored in fatty animal products
  • Chemical contaminants in tap water

2. Create a clean environment

While we have less control over our environment, pay careful attention to creating the most ideal home environment that you can. Be mindful again of the toxins that are found in products we use to clean our homes and ourselves. Of course, physical energy blockages can also be caused by wider environmental influences such as pollution or a smoky environment.

Environments can increase or reduce our stress, which in turn impacts our bodies. What you are experiencing at any moment is changing not only your mood, but also how your nervous, endocrine and immune systems are working.

The stress of an unpleasant environment can cause you to feel anxious, or sad or helpless. This in turn elevates your blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension and suppresses your immune system. A pleasant and happy environment reverses that.

3. Connect with nature

Spend as much time with nature as possible. Nature has a soothing and restorative quality. Most of us experience improvement to our mood after spending time outside, often citing feeling calmer and more balanced.

4. Receiving energy

The energy you receive during a treatment with Master Oh (Qi) or through Qi classes helps to open energy blockages and remove stagnant toxins, improving the circulation and boosting the immune system. Having a treatment is a great way to open deep-seated energy blockages quickly.

From there, Master Oh recommends changing our patterns to support the healthy flow of Qi throughout the body by doing all the above, as well as regular exercise.

Emotional causes of blocked energy

Blocked energy like the red flower

In our last blog we explored the physical causes of blocked energy. Today we continue with understanding how the emotions that we feel are able to disrupt our natural energy flow and deplete us of our human energy – Qi.

Our emotions have a significant impact on our lives and experiences. Positive emotions such as feelings of love, joy, excitement, compassion, pride and hope are life-affirming and increase our energy levels.

Positive emotions also seem to attract others who have an abundance of energy and positivity. Negative emotions such as anger, hatred, fear, worry, anxiety are energy drainers. They literally zap and drain us of our ability to change whatever we don’t like and stop us from moving forward. In this state we seem to attract others with little or no energy.

How and where does blocked energy manifest in your life?

We have all suppressed our emotions at one time or another. In fact, most of us develop lifelong habits of emotional suppression, not realising how this can affect our body.

Our society, particularly Western cultures, dictates that we behave in a certain way that is acceptable to others. While in some situations it is appropriate and necessary to curtail our emotions, for example at work or when we are parenting, it becomes unhealthy when we quash those emotions all of the time.

Our emotions need an outlet. They always come out one way or another, because they are part of who we are.

You may believe you have suppressed them, but instead your body has stored them and, unless released, these emotions can result in physical manifestations like chronic pain, anxiety, migraines, ulcers and other forms of illness. These physical manifestations are our body’s way of telling us there are things that need to be healed.

Different people deal with emotions in different ways

In the East, they often describe people as being ‘yin’ or ‘yang’ character. Yin is minus energy, like the moon or like water it absorbs light into itself, rather than emitting it, like the sun – which is yang.

Characters with a yin constitution tend to internalise their emotions. They find it hard to vocalise how they feel and over time blockages can develop blockages in areas where the emotion is stored. Each emotion relates to an organ depending on its energy. Anger affects the liver, sadness the lungs, fear the kidneys and joy the heart.

People with a yang constitution are fiery and often find it hard to control what they say and might have more emotional outbursts. These in turn also affect the energy system, creating blockages. Whether we tend to overly express how we feel or keep everything in, the answer to supporting our energy system is to gently balance and harmonise our emotions.

Where do emotions come from?

The key to dealing with our emotions is to understand them. I usually ask my clients to think of their emotions as their children, who need their patience, love and guidance.

We feel emotions when we are not connecting to ourselves. Our original vibration is clear, bright and beautiful. But when something happens that affects us or when we are simply short of energy, then we tend to feel different emotions, which further drain our energy system.

Don’t let your emotions take over

When we feel sadness, anxiety, fear and other negative emotions, the best thing to do is to accept and embrace them rather than become absorbed by them. You can ask your emotion, “What can I do for you?”

Meditate on the knowledge that your true self is much bigger than the emotion it feels and can deal with anything. Imagine yourself as the bottom of the ocean. The emotions we feel are like the surface of the sea, always changing – so all we need to do is go down to the bottom of the ocean and feel the deep peace which exists within.

You don’t have to meditate a long time: the key is to have this awareness and change the vibration as soon as you feel yourself going into it.

Resolving emotional energy blockages

Emotional blockages can be so deep it may be that you need specific help with unblocking some emotions. If past experiences and difficult situations are making you feel stressed and tired and unable to cope, then an Energy Assessment and Treatment can help. By opening your energy system and giving you a boost of Qi energy, I can release these built-up emotions and pain, making you feel lighter, happier and better equipped to deal with life.

I believe that an abundant and free flow of Qi energy throughout the body is the foundation necessary for good health. By releasing emotional energy blockages and understanding how to receive Qi energy, it will benefit body, mind and spirit.

The 3 main causes of energy blockages

Resolving energy blockages with meditation

This is really the time of year when we are most vulnerable to energy blockages and we need to take care of ourselves both emotionally and physically, ensuring we maintain optimal health. Ironically, as the year starts anew, so many of us complain of feeling tired and ‘run down’, susceptible to coughs and colds and with depleted energy levels. I thought it was an appropriate time to remind you where our ‘human energy’ comes from, how we can harness it and also explain what can be blocking the energy that we so desperately need.

What​ ​is​ ​‘human​ ​energy’?

Central to Eastern philosophy, Qi (or “Chi”) means life force energy. It is considered to be the invisible energy that supports all life on the planet. In traditional culture, an abundant flow of Qi or ‘human energy’ throughout the body is believed to maintain a state of balance, lasting health and mental wellbeing. It is also thought that, when people are drained of energy (Qi), they begin to experience declining health and emotional imbalances.

Our life is created by Qi and supported by nature’s energy. Qi, the human battery, determines our lifespan and is the original energy we receive at conception. It supports our organs and cells and is responsible for the functioning of our body. Nature’s energy, however, can be compared to the fuel we put in a car – i.e. we absorb nature’s energy from food, water, air and sunlight.

These days many people are short of energy. Despite a healthy diet and sufficient exercise and rest, we still feel tired. This is because we have depleted our reserves of our human energy and our battery has become flat. When this happens, taking more rest or improving the quality of our food and trying to lead a healthier life will not necessarily give us more energy or resolve our health issues. You can also try one of our Energy Classes.

Energy​ ​channels

The human body has a network of 12 main energy channels (meridians) that carry Qi throughout the body. ​The natural flow of Qi energy is responsible for making us feel healthy, not just on a physical level but also on an emotional, mental and spiritual level​ ​as​ ​well.​ ​From​ ​an​ ​eastern​ ​point​ ​of​ ​view,​ ​there​ ​are​ ​two​ ​main​ ​causes​ ​of​ ​ill​ ​health:

  1. A​ ​shortage​ ​of​ ​human​ ​energy​ ​(Qi)
  2. Energy​ ​blockages

When we are short of ‘human energy’ our body cannot function effectively, which in turn causes stress, fatigue and pain. In addition, a shortage of ‘human energy’ affects​ ​our​ ​emotions,​ ​making​ ​us​ ​feel​ ​negative​ ​and​ ​further​ ​draining​ ​our​ ​energy.

Energy​ blockages

There​ ​are​ ​three​ ​main​ ​causes​ ​of​ ​energy​ ​blockages:

  1. Physical: these include blockages caused by toxins in food, environmental pollution​ ​and​ ​other​ ​chemicals.
  2. Emotional: these come from negative, strong or repeated emotions such as anger,​ ​fear,​ ​anxiety​ ​and​ ​depression.
  3. Spiritual: these are caused by inherited energy patterns passed down through​ ​the​ ​generations.

Obesity: How energy blockages can affect obesity

Person with obesity weighing himself on a scale

Happy New Year to you all from Master Oh, we hope that everyone has a happy and healthy year. This week sees the return of National Obesity Week, which is fast becoming one of the great public health issues of our time. The week is intended to raise awareness of the disease and hope that communities come together to help each other support their health and wellbeing. 

Master Oh is committed to helping others find health and happiness and there are a few simple and positive things that we can all do to help ourselves. This blog aims to raise awareness, help those with this disease and show how energy blockages as well as diet can also affect obesity.

The Facts

Firstly, let’s look at the facts. Currently in the UK, 1 in 3 adults are obese. This represents a phenomenal 380% increase over the last 30 years given that only 8% of adults were obese in 1980. According to a recent report, at the current trend, about 50% of the UK adult population will be obese by 2050. More worrying is that in children, we are seeing extreme rises in the rates of obesity.

The Causes

Obesity is caused simply by an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. The average adult needs about 2000kCal/day and the body stores any excess intake over this. Continued excess calories input over time results in obesity. High calorie, mass-produced/convenient food, along with over-large food portions, is to blame. Additionally, the increase in sedentary lives and a reduction in exercise contribute to the issue.

Health Consequences of Obesity

Every year, as many as 30,000 people die prematurely from obesity-related conditions, with some experts now warning that obesity is responsible for more ill health than smoking. Being significantly overweight or obese is linked to a wide range of health problems, including:

  • Arthritis
  • Cancers (e.g. breast, liver and prostate)
  • Diabetes
  • Gallstones
  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Indigestion
  • Infertility
  • Liver disease and liver cancer
  • Pancreatitis and possible pancreatic cancer
  • Snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea
  • Stress, anxiety, and depression

Regarding the liver, obesity is now the commonest cause of chronic liver disease in the UK.

How energy blockages can affect obesity

There are many causes of energy blockages within the body. Our bodies react to certain situations such as stress, relationships, loss and bereavement, but we also react to external blockages caused by toxins in food, environmental pollution and other chemicals.

Our human energy is affected by exposure to an excess accumulation of toxins absorbed into the body from the air we breathe, the water we drink and the unhealthy food we eat. We then use our energy to trying to rid these toxins rather than focusing on the healthy functioning of our body. Over time, this leads to feelings of depleted energy, low mood and other diseases such as obesity. Below are a couple of causes which could link obesity to blocked energy:

Diet

When we are overworked or overtired, when we eat at irregular times or when we crave sugary or processed foods, we can deplete our energy levels and build up toxins, tension and blocked energy in the body. Blocked energy can affect our digestion, absorption of nutrients and elimination, affecting our health.

Inherited Blockages

Energy blockages can be caused by physical and emotional energy patterns passed down through the generations of the family. Essentially, we believe that people’s energy can be affected by the history and energy of their family. So could obesity be a disease which can passed down through the generations? We inherit our physical features through our genetic make-up, but in the energy system emotional patterns, ancestor’s life experiences, memories, pain, health issues and even addictions can be imprinted and carried forward to future generations. We may be born with weaknesses in our energy system inherited from our ancestors that can have a significant impact on our physical and mental wellbeing.

We are not surprised to see that people are increasingly interested in researching their family history to see how their lives have been shaped by previous generations and this can also include the impact on our health and wellbeing.

How Master Oh can help

Qi is the body’s vital energy, which travels around the body through a network of energy channels. According to Eastern medicine it is the natural flow of Qi which determines the state of our health and wellbeing.

Overtime, problems can develop with the body’s energy circulation – energy levels can drop, energy channels can be blocked or the energy itself can become toxic. This leaves the body more prone to illness or injury, and less able to recover if problems arise. Correcting the circulation of human energy enables long-terms healing to take place.

Receiving energy

The energy you receive during a treatment with Master Oh or through Qi classes helps to open energy blockages and remove stagnant toxins, improving the circulation and boosting the immune system. Having a treatment is a great way to open deep-seated energy blockages quickly. From there, Master Oh recommends changing our patterns to support the healthy flow of Qi throughout the body by following a balanced diet and taking regular exercise.

Resolving spiritual energy blockages

The Ancestor Healing Programme run at our Centres, addresses this crucial but not well-understood aspect of human life by healing these inherited patterns, and freeing us from their influence. The programme is a profound and spiritual experience to clear inherited energy patterns that can affect our life, wellbeing and relationships.

New year… a better version of you?

People smiling for the beginning of the new year

Soon we will be welcoming a new year.  Often seen as a chance to make right the wrongs of the previous year, for some it is customary to make resolutions.

The tradition of New Year’s resolutions dates all the way back to 153 B.C. January is named after Janus, a mythical god of early Rome. A god of beginnings and endings, he had two heads: always looking backwards and forwards.  This allowed him to look back on the past and forward toward the future.

Whilst we are changing and shifting all the time – constantly in flux as we learn, make mistakes, and carry on with the business of growth and setbacks and negotiating the world around us, a new year can be a useful point to reflect and explore ways to improve. And it is the small changes that often make the biggest difference to our wellbeing and our environment.

Practise Self care

My clients often share that their New Year’s resolutions focus on exercising more, weight loss and eating more healthily.  We can see how ‘being more healthy’ is something that many of us constantly strive for.  And I would like to encourage my clients to revisit and challenge their definition of what being healthy is to ensure that they include practising self care as part of their daily routine.

Self Care is the actions that individuals take for themselves, on behalf of and with others in order to develop, protect, maintain and improve their health, wellbeing or wellness.

  • Don’t be afraid to put yourself first more often.
  • Listen to your body and respect what it needs.
  • Cancel or rearrange plans.
  • Do not justify or explain having to look after yourself.
  • Be kind in your thoughts about yourself.
  • Work to quieten the inner critic.

Be Grateful

A life without gratitude is often an unhappy, unfilled life.  When you feel thankful, grateful, and content in your own life and in your own experiences then you will find that want less. Gratitude can be shown in so many different ways, for example regularly sharing a smile, always saying thank you, giving out compliments, making sure you make eye contact when interacting with people and even performing a few random acts of kindness. And a lovely way to show your gratitude is be an active listener, show you gratitude to others by really listening to what they have to say.

Respect our world

Our planet is desperate for respect.  Try to do a little more of all of these things to make your personal contribution to this beautiful planet.

  • Recycle.
  • Give your old clothes to charity shops.
  • Stop using so much plastic.
  • Reduce your meat intake.
  • Reduce your dairy intake.
  • Walk more.
  • Drive less.
  • Turn off your lights.
  • Don’t waste water.

Do your best to behave in a way that is thoughtful of a world bigger than yourself.

Try an energy assessment

For something a little more personal and tailored to your specific needs, why not start the year with an Energy Treatment and consultation with Master Oh? During the consultation, Master Oh can help you to understand and resolve issues in your personal and professional life by highlighting the subconscious patterns at play and guiding you to think and act in a different way.

Master Oh is also able to pick up the influence of inherited energy patterns within your system and guide you to heal them, in order to create a stronger foundation. Master Oh teaches you how to cultivate a ‘beautiful mind’, which he believes is the essence of life and key to happiness.

Improve your sleep this winter with a Master Oh Energy Treatment

A lit candle will help you sleep

How an energy treatment can transform your sleep

Let’s face it, there are few things in life more frustrating than being unable to sleep.

A night of restful sleep gives us mental clarity, physical energy and emotional stability as well as increasing our performance at work. It also gives us greater resilience to illness and maintains hormonal balance, which all ads up to helping us live longer, healthier, happier and more fulfilling lives.

Insomnia and a lack of energy

What many people don’t realise is that we need energy to sleep and it is a shortage of energy that is often the root cause of insomnia and other sleep issues. Just like we need energy for moving, thinking and digesting food. We also need energy to help us to feel calm and peaceful.

When we are short of energy, we feel a sense of restlessness and the inability to switch off. Lack of energy creates excessive thinking, which prevents the body from finding peace and therefore sleep. A lack of sleep can have a huge impact on our lives, leaving us feeling foggy headed and emotional, making our muscles ache and generally feeling pretty awful.

Maintaining ‘Qi’

Master Oh’s Energy Treatments have been enormously beneficial in helping people to overcome their sleep issues. His treatments focus on recharging the body with ‘human energy’- Qi, whilst opening the body’s energy channels to create a balanced flow of Qi.

Qi is the invisible energy that creates and supports all life. It supports our organs and cells making our body function correctly. An energy treatment helps clear toxins and release emotional tension bringing the body back into balance, leaving you feeling calm, relaxed and ready for bed.

When your energy system is open and the flow of Qi restored, you have enough energy for your brain to create the hormones needed for sleep, helping your body to switch off, relax and release any tension it’s holding from the stresses and strains of everyday life.

Here are eight ways to help you get a better night’s sleep, using energy healing and other natural remedies and tips:

  1. Switch off all electronics at least one hour before bedtime. The blue light they emit activates your brain and is a signal for your body to wake up.
  2. Lavender oil is a classic remedy for promoting sleep. Put a few drops into your bath or on your pillow to help relax your body and calm your nervous system.
  3. Slow abdominal breathing is one of the best ways to calm your nervous system helping you to relax the body and quieten the mind.
  4. Relax before going to bed by reading a book, having a warm bath or listening to quiet, calming music.
  5. Reduce your caffeine intake by stopping all caffeinated drinks after 4pm.
  6. Moderate exercise no less than three hours before bed is one of the best sleep medicines around. A vigorous workout could have the opposite effect, but light exercise will help relieve any tension which has built up over the day.
  7. Go to bed before 11pm so you can get at least eight hours sleep.
  8. Receive an Energy Treatment from Master Oh. Master Oh is also able to look at your inherited energy patterns. These inherited energy patterns can play a significant role when it comes to sleep issues. Why not book a treatment and consultation with Master Oh to find out how these can be cleared.
