By Janice Leong  Every part of your body starting from the brain to the skin, kidneys, muscles, and heart have a definite function. It is the endocrine system that gives them direction to work. The endocrine system glands send out hormones, which are responsible for telling every part of your body what to do, the

By Saffie Ng  Being good to myself, when do I have time for that? Wait a minute, let’s rewind a little bit. Have you ever thought that you’re not good to yourself? If so, the word ‘peacefulness’ probably rarely appears in your daily vocabulary. Being negative is easy, you don’t even need to do it yourself, I’m

By Janice Leong Eating habits decide what you want to make out of your body. From earning excessive fat to shaping up your body into a healthier vessel, all of it depends upon the food you eat. Getting in shape does not mean to leave food at all. It comprises a healthy diet that includes

By Ryan Charem 1 Mineral, 800 Processes. By now, everybody has heard of magnesium, but hardly anyone I meet knows how essential this mineral is.  If I told you it’s responsible for over 700-800 processes that run vital metabolic processes in the body, it probably wouldn’t mean anything. That’s okay. Famous Astrophysicist Carl Sagan once

By Sonia Samtani It might sound like I’m talking about ice cream, but what I’m really talking about is whatversion of “I’m not good enough” are you most used to feeling? You may notice I’m noteven asking if you’ve felt not good enough, I’m pre-supposing that you have, and I’inviting you to see what your

By Janice Leong Motherhood is not only the proverbial hardest job you’ll ever love, as the slogan goes – it is also the hardest job you’ll ever do. I love my son more than I ever thought possible and am lucky to have a kind, healthy child, but the reality is that motherhood is tough,

By Aymeric Vollant “While a picture may be worth a thousand words, a soundscape is worth a thousand pictures.“ – Bernie Krause, composer  Sound is a powerful tool. By utilising it creatively, it is possible to cultivate a sense of peace within people. While also triggering instinctive emotional reactions (for example: sound can make us

By Sonia Samtani We all know that life is a ride of up’s and down’s. Some days we’re pinching ourselves to see if the beauty around us is real, and some days everything feels like it’s falling apart. It’s easy to accept when things are good, however when things seem not-so-great, do you allow yourself

The discovery of the human fascia system in the past 50 years is one of the greatest discoveries in anatomy which changes the way we look at our body. “For several hundred years, anatomists and surgeons like me have neglected

By Sonia Samtani If we stop and try to remember our thoughts from the last 10 seconds, I bet most of us would notice that it’s full of judgment! Perhaps you were feeling annoyed at someone and thought they were ‘wrong’, or you were comparing yourself to another, or worrying about the future and judging

If you enjoyed the first part of Yoga for Insomnia, hopefully you will find the second part equally helpful.  We will explore more complex poses with simple instructions and explanation of benefits and contradictions.  The following two poses emphasize placing the head below the heart, thus giving the heart a rest and more blood to

Sleep is crucial not only because it allows our body to rest and to recharge, it also helps our body to heal, promotes a happier heart, stabilizes blood sugar and aids with weight management.  Whether your insomnia is caused by anxiety, stress, or any emotional or hormonal issues, below is a couple of fairly simple

很多女孩喜歡用年齡界限自己， 尤其是結婚生子。 25歲、30歲、35歲， 因為某些數字迫近而心急如焚， 一步一步地降低要求， 由尋找一段可以白頭到老的真心相愛， 淪落至只需要找一個可以給自己愛的人。 小時候，我們都夢想當白雪公主、睡美人、灰姑娘， 期盼終有一日王子會帶我們走進宏偉的城堡，然後永遠過著幸福快樂的生活。 長大後，現實告訴了我們童話只是童話， 現在只希望找到一個可以愛我的人。 後來，又發現原來找到「「給我愛的人」，很難。 在愛情裡，因為渴望被愛， 我們如履薄冰，深怕他會突然變心。 我們耗盡力氣地討好，只希望他能關注我們多一點。 我們變得卑微，希望他能夠再愛我們一次。 可是現實再一次狠狠地打擊了我們， 他不愛/不再愛我。 我們從小被渲染女孩子需要被保護、被照顧、被愛， 於是急於找到「被愛」，而忽略了自己。 其實「分開」是結束，選是解脫和機會。 試想我們再也不用步步驚心，逢迎討好，折腰屈膝，掙扎於一個死胡同中求存。 而是藉此可以重整旗鼓，以全新的面貌迎接未來，走出一條截然不同的康莊大道。 珍惜單身的日子裡，我們的心終究可以空閒下來，看清楚自己。 重新審視自己的過去，調整現在的生活，實現自己真正想要的未來。 最後，我們會發現原來「愛」一直在原點，等待我們去發掘。 與其等待別人給的「被愛」，不如先學會「愛自己」。 眾裡尋他千百度，驀然回首，那人卻在，燈火闌珊處。  More to explore

By Dr. Annie Chu Why this topic? Echoing with recent article “How Do You Love?”, we do tend to treat others in a way that feels good and convenient to ourselves. No matter how many “Communication Skills for Dummies” are being published, we rarely say or do the right thing to others especially when the

I remember as a teenager, while studying in the US, it was a very common thing to use perfume.  I remember the first time I sprayed a couple spritzes from those bottles on my skin…. and somehow my headache would strike. Back then, I had no idea there was a linkage; but now, I know

Have you ever noticed that people tend to love others in a way that feels good and convenient to them? Some may like to show love by cooking and create amazing culinary experiences – just forgetting to check if their loved ones are hungry or feel like eating! Some may feel good counseling and tend to

Have you ever had one of those days where everything spins out of control or you just need some grounding power, something to help you feel centered?  Our sense of peace starts from within.  The below is a guided meditation using Drishti to help us focus internally by gazing inwards.  Drishti is a yogic technique

We are trained for many things through our upbringing, however very few of us were taught what we are truly responsible for. Our understanding of responsibility usually comes from a bunch of judgments we have created by observing our parents and environment. As a result when we grow older, we either: (a)  Operate as a

Today, we live a world driven by sheer speed, intensity and aggression; a world which lacks kindness and connection to ourselves, those around us and our environment. We are wired to turn on our “doing” mode to the extent that we forget the existence of our “being” mode. Most of us forget how to just

In part 1 of this series I described the physiological changes within the body that are triggered in response to stress. In an acute situation, this short-term response can not only be beneficial, but also life-saving. Stress becomes negative when it turns from acute to chronic, i.e. when we face it repeatedly or continuously. So,
